Longer lifespan? Does this mean they will have user replaceable batteries? I'd consider spending more than $200 on a phone if it could actually be kept in peak condition for more than 4 years.
My pixel 3a is 4 years old and reports 83 percent battery health still. I'll have no problem getting another year out of it. I've made a point of never charging above 80 percent with this phone and it's made a world of difference in how long the battery lasts. Previous phones I owned I would charge to 100 percent overnight every night and needed to swap in a new battery after 12-18 months.
Has google added a toggle to stop charging at 80% yet? Samsung has it on their devices and I really hope the Pixel has that feature.
Not a toggle but my 4a slow charges over night when I have an alarm set so the battery will reach full just before the alarm goes off. I've woken up in the middle of the night before and sure enough the battery was only at 70-80%. I know its not quite the same, but it is a welcome feature
