    Yes! My s20+ battery just sucks now, overall fairly useable, but only half a day just gets to me. Hoping to upgrade for the s24+ or maybe the s23+ depending on how it stacks out.

      If you’re only problem with your current phone is the battery, maybe look into replacing the battery.

      Either DIY or bring it to a reputable repair shop.

      I just replaced the battery of my OnePlus 7 Pro (and a backup OnePlus 7 Pro also) myself. Was a lot easier than I thought and now the battery life is great again.

      The SD865 in it is more than capable to tackle anything I do (no heavy gaming or other resource heavy tasks) so instead of spending $800+ on a new phone I spent $25 on a battery.

      I’m also running a custom ROM (crDroid) so I don’t have FOMO on the latest software.

        Interesting!

        How is your custom ROM working with banking apps?

          I don’t know about all banking apps, but the Bank of America app works just fine.

            I did some research, apparently some can out of the box, for some others you need Magisk. The better way is apparently to use GrapheneOS on a Pixel as you can relock your bootloader?
