I’m convinced that battery life is intentionally nerfed to one day on every single smartphone. Because every single year manufacturers come out with this same bullshit “don’t worry, this year’s model will get you that multi-day battery life you want without compromise!”
It’s just a carrot on a stick to get people to buy the newest device.
If would be vastly improved if your phone had similar components without power hungry soc.
This year you are getting an even powerful chip, a 165hz even brighter display and some things.
The 8 Elite gen 5 can use 20W at peak power. Last year’s 8 Elite peak was 16-17W. 8 gen 3 was limited to 11W.
Tell me, how do you expect to get more battery life while using more power and doing more tasks at once? If you limited performance you can easily get away with more battery. But, manufacturers don’t and want to push further and further. Multi day battery is possible. But, you need to limit certain things to get that. Can’t game or do processor intensive tasks all day and expect multi day battery. Fortunately, the large battery cell and fast charging should make it a non-issue for most people.
I mean it should be common place now just to get a new battery put in. My city pays for half the repairs upto 200 euro now, to not need to throw out devices.
Plus everybody uses a case now days anyway, so you don’t even see the chasis gaps if the repair was a little less than perfect.
