I intend to write a more complete blog post about my experience with the Nexus 6P to date. In a nutshell, I am really happy with the battery life. The combination of the larger battery, Doze, and USB-C fast charging is a hit, I might no longer need to worry about battery life. #

With the Moto X I needed to be certain to start the day with a full charge by re-charging the phone overnight, and around dinner time the battery would be around 30% and therefore requiring some re-charge during the day. During the weekday I topped off the Moto X during my commute to and from the office, but that rarely got the phone to 100%.#

First off, Doze does a much better time extending battery life than I expected, and this confirms how differently I use my Nexus 9 tablet and my smartphone. I tend to use my tablet for long stretches of time, reading books, social networks, and articles, and therefore Doze does not have as dramatic affect because the tablet is hardly sitting idle. The phone, on the other hand, is used in short spurts, with significant down time between, and in those instances Doze does a fantastic job of quieting background stuff to conserve battery life and I have not noticed any lag in receiving notifications. #

Next, fasts charging is wonderful and it along with Doze is changing how I think about recharging the phone. With the Moto X, I was sure to get it fully charged to start my day, now I about topping off the Nexus 6P whenever I have a chance. During the weekdays, I take care of this during the office commute, other days I plug it in during meals. The point is, I am starting to not worry that all of sudden my phone will be dead because of the battery. #

The biggest piece of supporting evidence for the Nexus 6P battery life is this. When I bought the 6P, I also bought a new quick charging USB-C automobile adapter and an additional USB-C charger for the office. While I am using the automobile adapter during commutes, I have yet to take the additional USB-C charger out of the box. #
