My phone is at 5%. Fuck yes I have a wallet, I'm not buying a new phone every year. I'm a millennial, by definition I have no money.
My phone is almost 7 years old but in pristine condition. People often praise me of how careful I am when taking care of my belongings.
But the truth is I'm just poor AF. If something broke I don't know how long till I can replace it so I just have to "babying" everything I own.
Unless taking care of it means you've replaced the battery, there's no way it is performing at the same battery life retention which is what he was referring to.
Nope, original battery, still got 7 hours of Screen-on time.
AccuBattery report 81% capacity remain based on ~900 charge cycle recorded.
I NEVER let the battery get below 20% and NEVER charged pass 80%. It took A LOT of effort to maintain that for years, but it was worth it.
I don't have my phone with me right now, but here's my 4 year old tablet. It got abused a lot more than my phone.
Indeed! The sad thing is, I got this phone because someone was giving it away because it has a "spicy pillow" battery. Samsung fucking glues their batteries into their phones, but I was able to carefully remove it and replace with a lot of work (and a new screen cause it practically shatters when touched).
It was still cheaper than a new phone, but given it's on its second life, this phone is getting on in years. Those batteries basically just become bombs after a few years.
I had used same phone for 8 years and the only thing why I stopped using it is vurned pixels.
