      Mandatory EU ennergy labels reveal just how many charges you can expect your phone’s battery to last.

    2. BouncyBlushBabe on

      Twice as many charges, half as many headphone jacks.

    3. It would be interesting to have detailed comparison to better understand why Samsung batteries are better at longevity. Is it only because of bigger battery capacity or anything else.

    4. It doesn’t mean shit in 1000 cycles around 80% originally capacity not max number of cycles. That just means that Samsung has a longer warranty on the battery.

      this unfortunately is not a good stat, and it is very poorly used
      1. it heavily relies on the battery capacity. So if phoneA has half the capacity and achieves half the cycles , then if has better battery than phoneB that has double the capacity and it achieves double the cycles.
      2. those are vendor numbers that would be used to abide for a repair etc within warranty. They do not show the real life usage not if the battery is able to exceed that limit.

      A coworker was complaining a few months ago that they need a new phone because their iPhone is old and the battery is dying. And it was funny to me because her phone is from mid-2022 and mine’s from early 2020 and mine is still going strong. She was shocked when I told her my phone was 5 years old.

      Very interesting to see that Fairphones survive as long as US phones. That’s sad

      But honestly, with how quickly the battery drains on Samsung, it’s the same lifespan. I need to charge my phone twice (S24) as opposed to my wife’s iPhone 15 pro

    9. As long as it doesn’t explode! Remember the Note 7, anyone? Yes it’s been a while, but still…

    10. My work phone is a Samsung (2022 model) and it has an option to charge the battery to max 80%. It makes a massive difference if you enable that, although it wasn’t enabled by default. I guess that it needs to be set by default for the energy label, but I’m not sure.

      My personal phone doesn’t have an auto charge limit, but I have an app that notifies me when it’s time to unplug the charger. It’s still going strong after 4 years of 2x-3x daily charges, unlike previous phones that had a dead battery after two years.

      Uff perfect.
      So how come iPhones last longer despite having worse batteries 🔋 ?
      I guess it doesn’t only come to battery capacity but also to operating system and other components of the phone 📱 that define longevity.
      Currently still having iPhone 12 which will be 5 years old. Friends/family replacing Samsungs after 3ish years,..

    12. I have to say my Pixel 6 doesnt last a full day anymore and it’s annoys me quite a bit.

      >Right now, the vast majority of devices fall in the 1,000–1,400 cycle range. So how did Samsung manage to push so many of its phones and tablets up to 2,000 cycles?

      Because for a given level/type/cost/size of battery. You can put your “points” into 4 areas. Speed to charge, number of cycles, maximum charge and flammability. So you can increase the number of charges by making them slower to charge and reducing the max charge level.

      Also Samsung’s have a built in feature to stop charging at 80%. As most of the damage to a battery from charging, happens at 0-20% and 80-100%. It’s particularly bad if you leave it charged at 100% for a prolonged time.

      I find most modern batteries don’t last anywhere near as long as older batteries. All my 20 year old lithium ion batteries still function and are healthy but every few years all my new stuff bloats up.

    15. 1nfam0us on

      I have had my Samsung phone for many years now and the battery is definitely weaker than it was, but it still works and it has been on 3 continents with me in some pretty extreme conditions.

    16. You do realize that Apple already made it official they’re lowballing their ratings because they believe the testing procedures to be not correctly defined and do not want to risk the EU’s wrath again if Apple’s interpretation of the procedures differs from the authorities?
