Pixel has 7 years of support so you could get Pixel 10 and use with Graphene OS until 2033 but yes, if you need to switch every year to the latest model than you can skip Pixel.

    I have a pixel 7a and the battery only lasts a few hours. Nobody is getting 7 years out of a phone

    I managed to squeeze 5 years out of a $200 budget phone. 7 years on mid-range or flagship is trivial.

    Especially as new Pixels have lots of features to improve battery longevity:

    • charging only up to 80%,

    • OLED display that turns off pitch black pixels. Many apps nowadays have pitch black themes, and you can set wallpapers to pitch black,

    • limit display smoothness to 60 Hz,

    • battery saving mode,

    • dark mode,

    • turn off background usage for individual or all apps

    Did most of it. The battery lasted about 3.5ish years until it became a bit annoying without a powerbank/outlet near me.
    7 years on the original battery is probably impossible if you use it moderately (not like the usual normie for just facebook, youtube and whatsapp and maybe a bit of browsing for 2-3h per day max).

    Switched to a P10 Pro from P7Pro due to storage and battery (new phone battery uses 10% ina day of idle. Old one consumed about 10% per hour. (Mostly) same apps).
    If it wasnt for the storage I'd have replaced the battery...Would have been much cheaper.
