My Samsung A5 2017 lasted ~5 years; granted I didn't use it very heavily (e.g. modern unnecessarily power-hungry social media apps; I mainly use alternative open-source lightweight apps for anything I can)

But it still works today! Handed down to low-tech family, battery lasts ~4 days or sth

The only reason I upgraded was because the performance was getting worse for everyday moderate usage (nowadays you need to have at least 6GB of RAM for some reason 🙄)

(I use Acc(A) to set charging capacity, current/speed, and temperature)

I was doing it at first but I had to recharge through the day even when charging in the morning to 80%, so I stopped. I decided it wasn't worth having worse battery life at the current time to avoid having the same bad battery life 2 years after. I made the calculation and I didn't mind replacing the battery after 2-3 years of use, especially because it's not a very expensive repair
