It's just a theory and I'm not the one who said that there are tech reviewers who pointed to this, and the reason they say " to make you upgrade to the next edition" and this benefits manufactures more. Nobody really knows what is happening when the send you updates so maybe the do maybe not but it's still a possibility. Do you have any proofs or something?

I'm still using it and it's work fine except some lags here and there and of course battery health downgraded but still it can make a whole day with 7 SOT.

    You sould aim for better phone like the ones with massive batterys and ip's protection.

      i lost this phone earlier this year and only did i find out recently this phone was insanely good. oled, 16gb (8+8) ram (it was rarely slow), huge battery. i try to find phones in the same price this had 5 years ago and its all IPS displays and 12gb base ram. i would get this same phone again now if they were still selling it.

            Today I got Android 13 update for Realme 8 which is surprising cuz this phone is not supported for years.

Wjat evidence you have they specifically downgraded your battery… and why they would do that ? people like u living in paranoidal world… maybe after another update some software features or new software features drain the battery faster or maybe developers did not optimize last version as good as before and it take more resources ? Why you always have this sick paranoia that someone is purposely doing bad things usually for money ?! I heard this many times in different are but most of the time nobody really show any real proves ! just talking 💩… brainwashed society..

                            I am still using it as my primary phone 6gb variant I think it's the best phone I ever purchased gives me zero issues recently updated on Android 12 which feel a bit more smooth, fast and well optimize only issue is charging take more 35 mins gives around 8hrs of SOT now but out of the box gave around 12hrs I don't think I found any lagging or performance issues yet bottom line is it was a good investment for me.

I used to 9 hours easily but it's just 7 - 8 hours of mixed use ( with a little gaming).

                                How do i know they downgraded the battery???
                                I play PES 2013 a lot and with UI 2.0 a 10 min game match consume 2% , but now after UI 4.0 its consume 4%. So Regardless of battery health there is excess battery consumption.

                                I wish i install UI 2.0 again but UI4.0 experience catches me more.
