Samsung phones on Android 12 have a toggle for "charge to 85%" now. Not as "smart", but a great way to extend battery life if that's your focus. That last 15-20% charge is apparently a killer.
- moduspol 5y agoIt'd work for me. I'd absolutely trade long battery life to only ever using 80% of the battery for pretty much all my electronics.
- SketchySeaBeast 5y agoYeah, I was happy to toggle that option on.
- duffyjp 5y agoI babied my iPhone 12 Pro by using an automation to turn off a smart-outlet at 76% charge. After a year I'm at 95% health, basically on par with everyone else. I've discontinued the automation and will just buy a new battery in another year or two instead. /shrug
- MaxikCZ 5y agoI would say its even smarter. I don't want to charge my phone to 100% every day, and I don't want to babysit it. Smart charging would be: "start charging now and finish at time my alarm is set, while reaching 80% battery." Slow charging to 80% and your battery can last multiple times what it would "normally". I don't understand the craze for 40-60-100 watt phone chargers...
- Symbiote 5y agoMy four year old Sony phone does this, and the battery still lasts around two days, just like when it was new.
- MaxikCZ 5y agoSony you say.. now that's a brand that haven't p*ssed me off so far, or I don't remember.. Maybe I should consider them when Ill be searching for new phone, thanks.
