A mess of its own making: Google nerfs second Pixel phone battery this year
arstechnica.com
People don’t upgrade phones every year anymore—longevity matters.

I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

    How do you know how many cycles it has? Is there a way to see that, or are you just counting days?

    I have a Pixel 6, don’t charge it overnight. Batteries fine, yet.

        Ok. I’m still on Android (15) and I don’t t find this Information anywhere.

        I did not downvote you. People sometimes downvote when they think your comment is factually wrong. Don’t take it personally.
