I can anecdotally attest to this. I've been using the same Samsung phone since basically 2020 with original battery and the runtime is still damn good for what I need.
cool. since whatever i had after the pixel 1, I've had to replace my phone every 1 or 2 years. i like the os but they're not made as well anymore

You say that like it's impossible to change the battery on a Samsung phone. I can have it done in under 10 minutes.
did you have to pull the screen off and then glue it back on

Didn't you read? He figured out everything

Idk, dying 15 years ago kind of seems genius today.

No, you heat up the backside and put it back on again.

I received 100 dollars from Google for nerfing my battery capacity on my pixel 6a. If you have an pixel 6a you can also get this.

Try cleaning out the USB-C port. Lint gets compacted in there and it can prevent the plug from seating correctly. Most charging problems I’ve had were resolved by scraping the lint out of the port, with a plastic floss pick thing or an unbent staple. Careful not to damage the contacts though.
I've started using a wireless charger. It's been so much better because I regularly had to clean lint and wood dust out of the charging hole.

Oh yeah, I’m big on the wireless chargers. Especially with the magnetic alignment in qi2 charging.

S21 fe and still get a full day of use.

It's also wrong. That comment is misinformation.
They are lab tested by a 3rd party in the EU, SmartViser.
Have you worked with 3rd party testing companies? It isn't the end all be all. Even in 3rd party testing manufactures get wiggle room, and can voluntarily derate their numbers. Especially if there's any accountability for failing to meet those numbers there's a good reason to do so.

Awesome! Good to know its based off some kind of standardized testing. This is good for everyone!
Standardized testing isn't the end all be all. Manufacturers have wiggle room. Most of the time you can also voluntarily derate yourself. EPA testing is standardized, but there's a surprisingly wide margin that you can test your car at.
BMW is pretty famous for derating their HP output so they're closer to whats available at the wheels. Every other manufacturer will measure at the crank (the balls)

Doesn't show charge cycles for me, sadly. Samsung A52
It's all vendor specific on Android.

I find that I wear out the charging port before the battery. I don't even plug it in that much either.
I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.
Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?

You're comparing apples and oranges. The A71 isn't supposed to be comparable with a pixel 9.
You're comparing the three-door Nissan to a Lamborghini
You misunderstand. I went to from the A71 to the 6. I am only recently on the 9.

Unfortunately, the future of grapheneos is not certain anyway with Google going closed source on all the drivers and device trees
They made it very clear that they'll continue. It's just a bit harder now. Plus, they'll fast track their own hardware now.
