Basically the video is testing phones with varying charging speeds and how much battery degrades after 500 charging cycles. Also, the affects on performance after battery degradation at 5:37

Timestamps of some tests:

  • Test results for different charging speeds at 3:06
  • Storing batteries at 1%, 50%, 100% at 3:43
  • Battery performance at 4:42

After 6 mins he talks about why the tests took 2yrs and how they did it 3 times.

    Not that its a bad study or anything, but where are the data points? Did they happen to publish their numbers somewhere?

    Atleast cannot see anything in this video. Maybe, on weibo?

    Also android artificially reduces capacity as it gets older. Most of the pixel phones for example will use number of cycles + time to determine the “max” capacity.

    About android. Is there any report about android in general or just pixel?

    Also, Good point about pixel. The forced capacity reduction cannot be stopped by the user.

    Iphones reduced Soc performance in the past. Now, they do when detecting low voltage on your ageing battery and provide a bypass.

      Im only aware of pixel ATM. Thats a good point. Im not sure if google only made this change on pixel or with other phones somewhere in the blobs they distribute. According to the video above, it sure seemed like it as not reducing capacity if the reading was correct.

      Not familiar with weibo. Ill take a look, thanks.
