TL;DR
- OnePlus has claimed that the OnePlus 15’s battery will maintain 80% of its capacity after four years.
- The company told Android Authority that the phone maintains “excellent health” after 1,400 charging cycles.
- This comes after the OnePlus 13 offered 1,000 charging cycles before effectively losing 20% of its capacity.
The OnePlus 15 has just been launched in global markets, and it has a gigantic battery for a flagship Android phone. The company also claims that this battery will maintain 80% of its effective capacity after four years, but what does this actually mean?
OnePlus’s aforementioned battery health claim is a departure from the rest of the industry, which typically measures battery degradation in charging cycles. So how many charging cycles can the OnePlus 15 endure before it reaches 80% of its effective capacity?
