A mess of its own making: Google nerfs second Pixel phone battery this year
arstechnica.com
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.

    I have the menu in GrapheneOS’s settings on a Pixel 7 Pro.

    My cycle count is 590, but I’d like to know if that number includes the previous owner’s usage on the stock OS from before I installed GrapheneOS right after I bought it second-hand. Got a clue?

      From my experience its a per-battery value. When I had a battery replaced on a family members device it went from 400 something down to 5. So I believe its including previous owner.
