How else they can damage your battery and make you buy a new pixel?
My Note 3 battery lasted exactly 10 years and died. That's because I charged it for 8 hours every time.

Anton .el PAPI., 12 Dec 2024things that could well have been there since the day these ... moreIf they didn't add it, you'll talk. They've added it, you're still talking. I'm pretty sure that only about a handful of phones have this feature.

Such an useless feature.
Having Motorola edge 40 pro using omly 125W charger which had in box and using only fast charging. After almost 2 years of use my battery capacity is 92%.
Battery longevity is not anymore determined by a charging speeds like in past.
Also rather will always have 100% charge than left empty mid day if somethng happens
For many people this is tottaly useless feature.
Only few indviduals fins this worth.

Such a basic function only shows that all these "phones for gamers" are a scam because they don't have it either

I just don't understand spending money on something and not using what you pay for.

On the other hand, Xcover8 Pro is coming out next year.

"Samsung, for example, calls it “Pause USB Power”
It's called "Battery Protection" on my Samsung a54.

Demonicale, 12 Dec 2024Never understood why anyone would just charge to 80% to pro... moreBecause 80% still comfortably gets me through the day and new batteries arent free. Changing them yourself requires tools and doesn't guarantee that the phone will still be waterproof and giving a phone to a repair shop requires time.

battery manufacturers already compensate for this, really don't need any more nonsense, the battery should be labeled according to how much power it delivers
