Really glad to see the 80% charge limit for people like me who use their Deck primarily at home.
See that’s one thing I liked about Samsung when I had it, the model I had had a 80% cap, but it read like you were at 100%, there was understandably some backlash because consumers felt like they were being lied to, but it was genuinely in the interest of expanding consumers battery life, so… A white lie?
Pixel has it now too
While it would expand battery life that doesn’t mean their intent was genuine. Could be a concern about their phone’s image: “100%” looks better than “80%”. It sounds like the “you’re too stupid to understand” route.
Well yes thats what I was saying, they made it look like 100% for image. But there’s no reason for capping at 80 other than extending battery life
Yea they’ve changed it to show 80% now. At least on my device (fold 5).
woaa I was literally wondering if they could add that as a feature like 10 minutes ago! Yippee
Can only number 80 be picked? I was hoping to be able to pick any number I want. between 50 and 60 is the best for my use case
It’s a slider from 50% to 100%.
IIRC >80% is where you start to get battery degradation depending on the battery chemistry.
Going lower provides no benefit.

valve is such a damn great firm!!!
lord gaben giveth, never takes away.
Remember when Google was the “Don’t be evil” company?
Valve existed at that point, too.
I READ THAT AS AMD INFIDELS tf is wrong with me
Intel and Nvidia are going on a Crusade lmao
I kind of wish they first released a Steam Deck 2 because they might shift their focus towards SteamOS now.
probably best they wait for the next major tech breakthrough at least since we know they’ll never manage a third
I’m just thinking of my past experience where they also left stuff like the Link and SteamOS 1.
Steam Deck is way more successful.
actually wasn’t deck steam os versioned as 3? maybe they broke the cycle
Yeah.
1 was Debian based. 2 was not released. 3. is now Arch based.
