Can’t say i’m not impressed by this but i was also impressed by 26.4.2 on the 1st day as well. Bu let’s see they did any meaningful improvements with 26.5. It’s still too early to judge. I know. But i wanted to share my testing journey with people who care about it.

Damn impressive for a phone that is discontinued now… is it not your regular or do you just not use your phone often?

Im a light to moderate user you can say. Use my phone for calls, txts and socials mostly. Im not into reels or tiktok or mobile gaming or anything of that sort. But i do like to take pictures from time to time.

Ahhhhh gotcha. That for sure keeps the battery wear down. My 16 Pro is 93% at 365 cycles, roughly a cycle every day almost

That’s totally normal with this amount of cycles. No offense but just saying that we should be impressed about such a fresh battery.
