Will it last?

Having the phone for about a week, I have a few great experiences with it. The camera is great, the speakers are improved (from pixel 5), the screen is high quality and bright. I do miss the back-of-the-phone unlock feature from previous models. The phone is heavy and a bit larger, but the size is not a pro or a con. (As a runner, it is much harder to run with this device than the pixel 5.) The battery and the charging are really what worry me. I have been able to charge it to 100% twice and find myself running out of battery much faster than I'd like. For now, I am getting about a full day (15 hours) in the same areas and usage as the Pixel 5 in which was getting more than 24 hours. In fact, I rarely had to keep a charger with me if I had to stay away from home for a night. This phone, I don't feel that confident. And it takes forever charging. I get the reason but I'd like to have the choice in times I NEED that power. Overall, it's a good phone. But not exactly what I hoped for.
The sum of the parts and the spec sheet is something Pixel fans have been waiting for a long time. Tensor is very promising and brings another level of excitement for the future iterations. The charging speeds and overall endurance seems a bit off book but could possibly get better with updated. Overall a fantastic product.
The phone itself as a whole is great, but the. Artery itself is horrible. Can't even get through 6 or 7 hours with minimal use without it dropping below 30%. I would recommend it as a whole, but maybe I just got a bad battery?
Alot to like. Little to dislike. Few hiccups on apps and phone has self rebooted 2 times in 3 weeks. The smart features ( call screening, text to speech and transcribing ) are amazing. Not a fan of the new menu tile setup like the small icons better. I'd say leaps and bounds above Samsung's bloat. Give the pixel a shot and if Google doesn't lose sight, few more generations and they could be on top.
