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

Smallworld, 10 hours agoOther brands have had these simple features for years. Once again Google is late. People were praising them but the Pixel 8 was released more than a year ago. So they shafted their users, who couldn't use the built-in feature since launch, for 14 months lol.

If they avoid designing it like the LG G8 that JerryRig had to flood with solvents to pry off the battery, then it will pass the qualifications even if it is sealed.
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.

But because of poor signal in usa had to buy a new phone here. Bought S24+ superb phone. Gave my A52 to my aunt still works. Next will wait for S27+ or even later.

Maybe i'll buy one in 2027 when EU forces manufacturers to have easly replaced batteries again.

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.

it explains that the 5060mA/h battery in the google pixel xl phone is really only 4048

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

Anonymous, 15 hours agoI hope they make a phone with a battery that ONLY charges to 80%. And just change the readout ... moreThen we can't tell if it's even implemented or not. I don't trust companies ads if they say "charge it to 100% and don't worry about it".

You prolly never owned a thinkpad or legion laptop. Or even if you did, you never utilized their Charge Threshold and/or Conservation Mode built-in each respective models.

I'm surprised there are people that live like that. I hope they don't juggle their phone storage and tws buds charge levels as well.
