One day I'll upgrade my S8

[–] Pirky 3 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I upgraded mine to an S23 last March. Main reason was because the battery could no longer last through the day. Otherwise I was perfectly content with it.

if the battery was the only problem, why didn't you try to replace that?

[–] fouloleron 2 points 11 months ago

IIRC people with older devices have found that replacing their battery does not significantly help, becathe replacement battery was manufactured at roughly the same time as the device it goes into, and has degraded over time even without use. This is anecdotal of course, but seems reasonable to me.

Some short browsing appears to indicate that batteries can last for years of stored properly, but how does one verify if the replacement battery in their phone was really stored appropriately?
