I was looking at this chart in AccuBattery and this dip looks rather strange. It does not look like normal battery wear. Did we get nerfed by the July update like the a-series with bad batteries? What’s your graph look like, if you use AccuBattery or equivalent?

    Google rolled out some battery changes recently to prevent lithium explosion s/malfunction. Not sure if the 8 is affected but yeah the a series was part of that and a couple of other models.

        Reduce the risk. Melting and exploding phones might sell new ones, but for your competitors. And if shown to be intentional, that’s a slam-dunk lawsuit.

          I would never buy a Google branded phone just honestly I know there’s ease of use and supposedly some of them are the most compatible with custom ROMs but really… they’re Google. They are not not evil.
