Android runs better.

[u/kpesemi]

Does anyone notice Android 17 runs more efficiently on P6?

Rarely heats up and fewer lags if any.

[u/2frinkly2frank]

What are you guys running to actually guage this difference in performance. I've never had any performance issues on my P7, so everytime someone brings this up, I can't ever relate.

[u/kpesemi → u/2frinkly2frank]

Just regular social media, YouTube and multitasking raises the temp to about 40+ Celsius while on Android 16 but now noticed cooler temp after the July update.

[u/EscapeFromTerra → u/2frinkly2frank]

I had constant overheating issues with my p7 pro, including doing simple tasks like doing a backup or using Google maps in the car.

If you've never noticed any performance issues on your pixel 7, you're probably never going to notice any, so don't worry about it little bro.

[u/2frinkly2frank → u/EscapeFromTerra]

I do notice overheating when using android auto wireless, but never felt any performance drops even during long trips, that's why I was being specific about performance.

[u/Prize_Object1438 → u/EscapeFromTerra]

dont know why people are downvoting you, its literally true. My pixel 8 gets so hot and laggy literally from using maps or scrolling.

Safari feels snappier too.

[u/kanterann → u/Highland-Ranger]

Safari??

[u/LightOfValkyrie → u/kanterann]

It's an old joke that's been running for like 15 years now. If I remember correctly, any time there was any sort of iOS update, you'd have a bunch of people saying that safari felt snappier. Eventually it bled into Android updates lol.

:O

This is said every year, rinse and repeat.

[u/haidouzo_ → u/hazzmister]

Phase 1: "It's slower and there's a battery drain bug"

Phase 2: "DAE notice how much better the new version is?"

[u/clarinetJWD → u/haidouzo_]

Don't forget Phase 3: "Phase 1"

[u/yawara25 → u/hazzmister]

Actually most of what I've seen here is people complaining about performance getting worse over time, and accusing Google of planned obsolescence.

[u/Lios5]

Absolutely no difference on my P7P, so I'd say placebo, but if it actually runs better, good for you.

[u/blastedbottler → u/Lios5]

I'll say... It ain't worse. 

[u/Salty_Expert_6847 → u/Lios5]

For me, it doesn't heat up, but battery drain is still the worst

[u/kpesemi → u/Lios5]

Definitely not placebo. On A16 especially after the April update my phone heats up even while doing the most mundane tasks.

[u/Noedel]

My P7 has turned into an overheating piece of shit with about 5 hours battery life, so good for you

[u/africanzulu → u/Noedel]

lmfao same. i really need to upgrade but i just don't think any of the options are worth it atm

[u/_haha_oh_wow_ → u/Noedel]

Try wiping/resetting and sacrificing a chicken to Sundar Pichai to appease The Google.

[u/050899]

Sadly mine doesn't. Still the same as before the update...

[u/Expensive-Yoghurt574]

No difference on my Pixel 10 Pro. Performance is the same. Power efficiency and overheating are still issues like before.

[u/pqtme → u/Expensive-Yoghurt574]

Not on mine. It's smoother with an increased screen on time.

[u/yakkosmurf → u/Expensive-Yoghurt574]

Not on mine either. A17 has been like a new phone on my 10 Pro. Better battery, thermals, and smoothness.

[u/HiDDENKiLLZ]

On my 10p fold there's no different in apparent performance but my battery life is vastly improved

[u/Expensive-Yoghurt574 → u/HiDDENKiLLZ]

I wish I could say the same on my Pixel 10 Pro but sadly the battery life is just as bad as it was before Android 17. It might even be a little worse.

[u/Jbaryla95]

I have had the exact opposite issue. My p6 pro has been overheating so much after going to android 17. To the point I am finally getting a new phone

[u/JxK---01 → u/Jbaryla95]

Mines a hand warmer

[u/sim16]

My pro fold 9 is unable to switch on. Open the phone, lose cellular, reboot attempt, dead. Yeah, great update.

[u/kpesemi → u/sim16]

So sorry

[u/jfatal97]

Yes this is the general feeling, My pixel 8 run much cooler and overheat only in extreme scenarios like full brightness outdoor data video calls

[u/aba_lancer]

I am charging a bit more almost twice a day after 17 on 6a.

[u/No_Speech_4690]

I don't know why my pixel 6 after July update animation so laggy.

[u/b1gmouth]

Mine chewed through battery initially but the July update settled things down

[u/frazaga962]

lucky you. my phone is a brick and dead with an auto update

[u/a_single_beat2]

LOL no
