Your phone battery dies before dinner because of these five habits, not because the phone is old

Nobody's phone dies at 6pm because the battery is old. It dies because of what you do to it between 8am and 6pm.

The five killers

What actually helps

Turn on the charge limit option most phones now have. Use a slow charger at night, not the fast one. And stop watching the percentage like it's a sport.

Here is the uncomfortable part: you do not need a new phone. You need to change a routine. A battery that respects the 20-80 window easily outlives the two-year contract people keep blaming.
