See that's one thing I liked about Samsung when I had it, the model I had had a 80% cap, but it read like you were at 100%, there was understandably some backlash because consumers felt like they were being lied to, but it was genuinely in the interest of expanding consumers battery life, so... A white lie?

While it would expand battery life that doesn't mean their intent was genuine. Could be a concern about their phone's image: "100%" looks better than "80%". It sounds like the "you're too stupid to understand" route.

Well yes thats what I was saying, they made it look like 100% for image. But there's no reason for capping at 80 other than extending battery life

Yea they've changed it to show 80% now. At least on my device (fold 5).

And LineageOS. Might just be a part of AOSP now.
