What depends on needs and context

Screen-on time splits these two reviews

HowToMen's 10 September 2026 review, in the first weeks on sale, says basic use reaches about 4 to 5 hours of screen-on time. Everyday Legends' 25 September 2026 review says that after a full month, most days reach 7 to 8 hours without rationing the phone. One reviewer is on each side.

Decision checks

Before you buy

Ask which SIM version you are buying

Check which SIM version you are buying. Google's support table lists dual eSIM for the US model and a nano-SIM plus eSIM outside the US. On 4 October 2026, JB Hi-Fi listed the 256 GB Fog at 2099 AUD, and Currys listed the 256 GB Canyon at 1279 GBP.

US models use two eSIMs

Plan on eSIM if you buy a US model. Google's spec table lists dual eSIM for the US model, and lists a SIM tool in the box only for models sold outside the US. Google notes that eSIM support depends on your carrier and country.
