It might be for real this time. According to a Chinese tipster with a solid track record, especially when it comes to Samsung-related leaks, the company...
Where credit is due, I think batteries have improved. I’ve noticed that the battery health no longer starts dropping fast after a year and a half (which was like a standard for me). When I got my phone, the battery health was already at 98%. I don’t know why and I didn’t really care as I got thru the days without needing to charge extra. After 2.5 years, the health is at 95% and I’m still not seeing noticeable degradation. Then again, I use battery health management system (smart charging and 80% charge whenever I didn’t need to last longer) which wasn’t a thing on older phones, maybe that’s the reason
It’s probably making a decent difference, yeah. But a lot of people don’t use those settings. I never charge my phone to only 80%. I know it’s an option, but it’s just not enough charge for me.
And these folding phones get HOT AF. Know what kills battery? Heat. I’ve been on my current Flip for about a year and while the battery life has definitely never been stellar on these things, there are some days now where my battery doesn’t last a full day’s usage.
