People don’t upgrade phones every year anymore—longevity matters.

I wonder if there is something subpar about whoever Google is getting the batteries from for the A series phones.

Apple sources the worse lithium batteries known to man, they last a year and destroy themselves. I have no idea why you’re bringing Apple to this discussion.

I’ve dealt with Chinese devices with batteries that still worked fine six years after being bought.

Google loves to cheap out if they think they can get away with it, just look at the modem on the 8 series
