    My Galaxy s22 has an option “battery protection” that limits my battery charging to 85%. Looks like they had a good idea there.

      On the S24, it actually changed to 80%. I also turned off fast charging when charging overnight at home.

      Same here. Battery still feels like new nearly 2 years later, and I use it as a GPS damn near 40 hours a week on top of normal usage. I like to run my phones into the ground these days, and the battery is almost always the first to go. Looks like I’ll be getting at least another 3 or 3 years out of this one.

      indeed, have had battery protection to 85% on my S10 for the last 4 years, I figured if it was going to save me the hassle of replacing a non replaceable battery in the long run, i was all for it. my S10 is still running like a champ and I see no reason to upgrade for at least a couple more years, when they hopefully bring back removable and expandable SD storage
