JaiHind69420, 22 Feb 2024Your oppo garbage drops 90% of its value when you buy it.Why should I sell it, I intend to keep it. It's years ahead of your 60Hz 6GB iToy garbage anyway. I don't have to desperately wait until the fruit company lets tickle down a new feature year for year, since my android already has it.

        I thought apple battries got 2000 cycles, as they use high quality materials.
        My under $200 phone is surviving more than 3 year of daily charging cycles and lost probably around 8% battery capacity.
        Well, if any phone survives more than 3 year, it's good at least to me.

            My Xperia and Pixel phone batteries degrade fast after 6 months. I always have to have them on low power mode, mostly on the xperia.

                      "OK
                      In that regard it is RECHARGING CYCLES THAT DEGRADE THE PHONE BATTERIES QUICKEST"

                      Yeah, any charging speed is going to degrade the capacity of batteries, thank you Captain Obvious. In my experience, and that's my experience, not an opinion, or a fact. I found that slow charging tends to be worse as it heats up the phone, so does fast charging to be fair, but the slower a phone charges, the longer it stays hot, which in the end is worse for battery health. This is why I use fast charging and why I dislike that certain 800-1700 usd phones can't offer such feature. Especially because even if they did, it wouldn't be mandatory to use it, anyone could still slow charge if they for some reason prefer it, which is fine.

                      "Unfortunately Darling Yext deliberately keeps posting this nonsense time and time again"

                      It may be nonsense to you, but I believe in what I say. You keep repeating my opinions, what does that say about your comments then? Comments that consist of nothing, but hate directed towards me, and neither the article, the website/app, nor the rest of the community has anything to do with any of that. Most of all, I don't want to have anything to do with that.

                          Big deal, phones with 3-5 times the charging speeds of recent iPhones still last, and will last longer.

But isheeps ignore that and only praise it if it's "news" from the iToy company, who sells it as a revolution, instead it's a natural evolution in battery charging tech.

                                Apple trying to improve the necessities, while android vendors are adding more ram, more mega pixels, zooms, refresh rate, stuff that doesn't really make any difference beyond the spec sheets.

                                  15 Pro Max has outstanding battery life.
