Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone

While interesting, you kinda need to know how long a charge lasts for it to be informative.

For example, it wouldn’t be as impressive if you also had to charge it more often than the competitors.

charlie0•7mo ago
True, but there's a relatively large number of remote workers where battery life on a daily basis isn't important because there's always a charger nearby.
jerlam•7mo ago
I would guess that manufacturers can alter the battery charging algorithms and claimed battery life to hit a specific number of cycles and/or battery life. It's a matter of tradeoffs as long as the phone hits 800 cycles, the mandated minimum.
charlie0•7mo ago
Samsung for my next phone it is. I've had mine for 6 years and battery life is still great.
coldtea•7mo ago
If battery life is the only/main concern, sure
Ylpertnodi•7mo ago
Other concerns? A dead phone regardless of capabilities is still a dead phone.
coldtea•7mo ago
A great phone were you need to replace the battery after 2-3 years is better than a mediocre or bad phone whose battery lasts for 20.
justinrubek•7mo ago
Well that takes the iPhone out of the running at least. It's definitely hard to find the right device these days.
dialup_sounds•7mo ago
The source for these figures is self-reporting by the brand, so take it with a grain of salt. E.g. JENBIZZ MB1001 tablet lists 8000 charge cycles.

But when the batteries fail, do they catch on fire? That's the problem with Samsung, lol :(.
whatevaa•7mo ago
Isn't it just one model which was a combination of design and manufacturing defect?
saurik•7mo ago
It wasn't just one model that was broken--though the one you are thinking of was particularly bad--but of course it is a combination of bad design and a defect... what else could it be?... the batteries somehow revolting?... a coordinated cyberattack?... like, obviously it is bad design and a manufacturing defect ;P.

Here is a video that went into a lot of analysis on the wider-scale issues of Samsung's low-quality batteries.

The reason I switched to Samsung is because I had an Apple device and then a Google device reach the end of their usefulness at the two year mark. The 3 Samsung phones I've had since then have lasted to the 4 year mark and I was able to replace them on my timeline, not the device's.

The S20+ I'm typing this on is 4.5 years old and feels as functional as the day I got it, it does not feel slow at all and if the battery life has lessened I haven't noticed.

hmottestad•7mo ago
My mum is using my old 12 Pro, which is about the same age as yours. She’s still happy with it, though to me it feels old.
