Samsung straight up has battery protection option which doesn't allow it to charge above 85%.

Thank you for the great tip. I have turned this on.

Nice. But I don't use Samsung. Used to but no more.

Am assuming it will drip to other manufacturers pretty fast. I think Motorola already has it.

I thought it was available in every brand already.

It exists in OnePlus, Oppo and Assus.

I wouldn't be surprised. Hardware should already be there since Android supports stopping charge when battery is too hot. Adding software feature to stop charge at certain percentage is not that difficult.
