I've been using a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS and the battery life is just fantastic. Sometimes I can go for a whole week without charging, but this is the exception. But under normal circumstances, I still get like 3 days of battery life. You don't need to be worried about that at all, battery life is even improved on GrapheneOS compared to the Stock ROM.
Dang a whole weeks seems like you'd have to not use it at all.
I have an s10e currently (been using it for over 4 years now) and the battery is shot. I'm at like 30% by noon. I use a lot of Bluetooth throughout the day at work. Basically 10 hrs of Bluetooth a day.
I just never see pixels on the top battery life for phones round up and that make me nervous.
I want something that will be at 30%ish when I go to bed.
On average I get like an hour and a half of screen time per day. I use my phone to message people on Signal, I connect it to my bluetooth earbuds and listen to music or a podcast when I go for a run and I occasionally like to take photos. I don't waste my time scrolling through TikTok for 8 hours like many other people unfortunately do. One week of battery life is pretty rare, but it has happened before. As I said, usually I get 2-3 days out of it when I it charge up to 80%. (charging up to 100% is bad for battery health, so I try to avoid it). I'm sure you will be fine. You can get a Pixel, install Graphene, try it out and give it back and receive a refund if you don't like it. That's the good thing about Pixels, installing a custom OS doesn't void the warranty or anything like that. You can just revert back to the stock OS and everything will be fine.
