- Pixel 8 owners are complaining about rapid battery drain on mobile data and unreliable connectivity.
- It seems the regular Pixel 8 is suffering more when it comes to the battery issue.
- Both new Pixels are exhibiting poor signal strength and connection drops for many users.
The Pixel 6 series was infamous for its poor connectivity and reception problems. Google improved things a lot with the Pixel 7 series, but it too reportedly suffered from low signal strength issues for several users. It seems the Pixel 8 series is also affected by similar connectivity problems, including a larger issue that causes the battery on the phones to drain rapidly when using mobile internet compared to Wi-Fi.
