Basically the video is testing phones with varying charging speeds and how much battery degrades after 500 charging cycles. Also, the affects on performance after battery degradation at 5:37
Timestamps of some tests:
- Test results for different charging speeds at 3:06
- Storing batteries at 1%, 50%, 100% at 3:43
- Battery performance at 4:42
After 6 mins he talks about why the tests took 2yrs and how they did it 3 times.
That’s a narrow point of view. It’s also reducing the ecological impact if a device’s battery isn’t trashed after two years, someone else would likely use it.
I think they more mean that the testing is flawed in that they didn’t test nearly enough cycles.
The type of person to get a new phone every 2 years probably doesn’t care much about the ewaste either, sadly.
