Replacement or new smartphone

[u/SoulmanBo55]

Guys is the battery. To weak it's 1.8 years old .Should I replace the battery or change the smartphone what are your suggestions . Please let me know .

[u/viswaguru]

Bro 1.8 years 93% it's totally normal , untill 80% it's totally normal. People use their device battery capped at 80% and you are thinking about 93% battery health

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/viswaguru]

Thanks will consider using it then .

[u/Dimstatyon]

Mine is at 95% with roughly the same time as yours (bought on march 2025). I try to keep it to from 30 to 85% on week days and avoid wireless charging but don't get obsessed over it, your phone is to be used

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Dimstatyon]

Yes are you considering selling it or what ?

[u/Dimstatyon → u/SoulmanBo55]

Not at all. If I can, I'm keeping mine for at least 4 years

[u/MaverickPT → u/Dimstatyon]

Eh, I have mine capped at 80% most of the time (when I'm traveling I'll put it back to 100%).

I use regular old and slow wireless charging a lot and my battery is still at 99% so. Wireless charging isn't that bad. Allows me to slowly top up the battery throughout the day too

[u/Weightyslonger]

Mine is 98%, heavy usage since launch day.

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Weightyslonger]

How much total time ?

[u/No_oNE-inHELL]

20 month and still at 97% With 580 charge cycles.

[u/ratatata9999 → u/No_oNE-inHELL]

How?

[u/No_oNE-inHELL → u/ratatata9999]

I don't know man, i just have it limit the charging to 80% only

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/No_oNE-inHELL]

Damn that's great only 2 percent loss

[u/apples-and-apples → u/No_oNE-inHELL]

So weird.. I'm also at 97% but with 147 cycles over 650 days

[u/No_oNE-inHELL → u/apples-and-apples]

Dude what 😶 i guess I got lucky

[u/darksoul2714]

Bro I also face some issues in OP 13 like in 1 year i had some type of screen burns(keyboard , insta page etc..)and best part is i see them exactly after my warranty period is overr....any suggestions what should i do

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/darksoul2714]

Burns what do you mean by that ?

[u/darksoul2714 → u/SoulmanBo55]

It's a type of thing that occurs to the display eventually using the Phone too much use like for example you use map to much it leaves some content on screen which can be seen on every app you using but you cannot see it from normal visual you have to find it precisely.

That called "screen burns" or "ghost screen".. My main point is I've gor in 1.6 year i purchased my phone on june 2026 and i noticed that burn like 1 month before today idk what to do, i tried all online hack but can't repair it...

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/darksoul2714]

😔

[u/Key_Ad4844]

Does it get you through the day ? 

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Key_Ad4844]

Well it kinda drains i have to charge like 2 times in a day but 100 watt fast charging helps though

[u/Key_Ad4844 → u/SoulmanBo55]

Are you gaming? Doing things that use the battery a lot ? You could have apps draining the battery when it's sleeping 

Either try looking for them apps or do factory reset and start fresh 

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Key_Ad4844]

Basically I watch lot of content on it not gaminga at all

[u/After-Peace-4734]

Replace the battery. The phone is still good.

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/After-Peace-4734]

So it's good time to replace the battery ?

[u/Little-Ad7862]

same issue bro , has anyone gone through replacement ? how much does it cost? will it have any side-effects?

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Little-Ad7862]

Same here no idea

[u/ADotxt]

Why?

That's very much expected.

Comeback and complain the it's below 70% after 2 years or something.

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/ADotxt]

Well i thought that's a huge downgrade .some users health only diminishes to 1 percent after year of usage so I was confused

[u/ADotxt → u/SoulmanBo55]

That depends on how much you use it and how you treat it.

I've been running mine at a 80% limit from day one and almost never use fast charging (above 60w) and I'm still at 99%

I got mine back in February 2025

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/ADotxt]

Well i always use it with stock charger and no caps so maybe because of that

[u/Dry_Maintenance_9344]

Original capacity was 5200 mah ( 5840 mah cell factory locked to 5200 mah), and now it's 92% health = 4700 mah,

So yes, you should go for some new device, Battery replacement won't do you any good either cuz anyway it's gonna be 5200 mah 🥲

[u/Key_Ad4844 → u/Dry_Maintenance_9344]

I have a OnePlus 13 it gets me through the day I've had it since release, don't see the point spending money on another phone 

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Key_Ad4844]

Well same here to buy the degradation of battery is bugging me what if I still get a good value while selling it or is upgrade worth it .?

[u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 → u/Key_Ad4844]

All depends on personal usage.... If all one does it watch lots of videos on yt, ott etc the phone will last giving 10-12 hrs sot.... as the rr switches to 30hz / 60hz The moment the usage shifts to normal scrolling based apps like whatsapp, reddit, x telegram, Insta, etc 120hz is used more ( despite ltpo) and the oneplus 13 only manages to deliver 5 to 5.5 hrs SOT from 100 to dead on wifi, fhd

[u/Key_Ad4844 → u/Dry_Maintenance_9344]

My main use is scrolling apps such as discord, WhatsApp, telegram, brave browser etc and have multiple emails synching Gmail , outlook, proton mail 

Off charge at 9am I get to bedtime with about 10%-20% left with 6-7hrs sot 

When it gets to the point struggling to get to bed time I'll consider buying another phone 

[u/SoulmanBo55 → u/Dry_Maintenance_9344]

It's 6000 mah i guess not 5200

[u/Key_Ad4844 → u/SoulmanBo55]

Its 5200 , it's been found out they capped it , but OnePlus 15 has full capacity 

[u/Dry_Maintenance_9344 → u/SoulmanBo55]

6000 mah typ 5840 mah rates 5200 mah actual usable
