From my understanding is part of the issue is the quality of batteries is decreasing.

Too much demand so phone makers have to use shittier batteries.

Anecdotally, I have an S10 and in the two years I've owned it, it's gone from finishing the day with 30% left, to having to charge it 1-2 times a day. I've never had an android phone reach this level, my V30 would still get to the end of the day at 0-10% after two years.

Did something change in how you use it? Or do you use fast charging a lot?

Also purely anecdotally ofc but my 3y old S10 still finishes with 10-20% left at night, and I'm using it heavily for browsing during the day (FF+Ublock). I do have some power saving settings enabled though, and disabled fast charging (since it charges over night anyway).
