I'm at 943 cycles on my Pixel 6 Pro and it's still going strong. I slow charge it every night and try to avoid fully draining the battery to slow down the deterioration, which seems to have worked pretty well. Thankfully a battery replacement is only $50 so it won't cost much when I do have to replace it.

Where can you see charge cycles?

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Settings -> About phone -> Battery information

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm on pixel 6a. There is no battery info there

Did you tap the text "Battery Information"?

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

There is no Battery information option under About Phone on my Pixel 6a

Doesn't show charge cycles for me, sadly. Samsung A52

Hmm, might be a Pixel / GrapheneOS thing.

It's all vendor specific on Android.

I don't see that menu option. I do see Settings -> Battery but it does not count cycles.

Pixel 4a Android 14
