So I recently bought a new honor magic 5 pro. My last phone the Huawei p20 pro was around 5 years old and started to show significantly less battery life. So I want to use this phone again for 5 years. But now I wonder should I keep the battery around 50% (65-35) and charge twice as often or should I 80-20 and charge once every two days? Is there any science that proves one is better than the other? Thank you for your information and sources.

I would take the parent poster’s experience as definitely anecdotal/coincidental. A lot of factors can cause a battery to degrade faster, beyond just faster charging or doing full charge cycles.

Exactly, that's what I was getting at. Personally, I've concluded that there are too many factors outside of my control to warrant worrying about it too much.

I wish it was as easy as just buy $50 battery. But with a waterproof phone I don’t think waterproofing will be ip68 when I replace the battery

@plotting_homelab@lemmy.world fair enough. I've never made use of the waterproofing features on any phone I've owned. I think my previous ones didn't even have any to being with...
