I've been running mine for ~4ish I think, on my third battery and might run out my fourth because it's feeling a _little_ sluggish at times.

I am waiting for the next FP model where I can use a USB-C/dp external display and then I'm all over it.

That's a lot, I usually use old phones from family members, most of them have 4 years of use by the time I get them and I get a whole day of usage from the battery.

Honestly, not sure. I use Firefox Mobile pretty heavily during the day and I suspect it's part of the drain. I'm not too concerned by it and I just try to replace the battery every ~1-1.5 years.

Me too. But I always have the screen on the lowest brightness possible and use ublock. I mostly read text based pages.

What is happening to your batteries? I'm on something like year 6 on my Redmi and my battery is fine. Am I simply lucky?

I also never had battery issues with my fp4, except it sometimes starts draining really fast. Fix is too charge while phone is shutdown.
