Really glad to see the 80% charge limit for people like me who use their Deck primarily at home.
See that's one thing I liked about Samsung when I had it, the model I had had a 80% cap, but it read like you were at 100%, there was understandably some backlash because consumers felt like they were being lied to, but it was genuinely in the interest of expanding consumers battery life, so... A white lie?
Pixel has it now too
And LineageOS. Might just be a part of AOSP now.
While it would expand battery life that doesn't mean their intent was genuine. Could be a concern about their phone's image: "100%" looks better than "80%". It sounds like the "you're too stupid to understand" route.
Well yes thats what I was saying, they made it look like 100% for image. But there's no reason for capping at 80 other than extending battery life
Yea they've changed it to show 80% now. At least on my device (fold 5).
woaa I was literally wondering if they could add that as a feature like 10 minutes ago! Yippee
Can only number 80 be picked? I was hoping to be able to pick any number I want. between 50 and 60 is the best for my use case
It's a slider from 50% to 100%.
IIRC >80% is where you start to get battery degradation depending on the battery chemistry.
Going lower provides no benefit.
