People in this thread mentions setting the phone to only charge to 80%, it will hell extend battery life.

Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization

Already done! But it's a bit annoying that it can't be set to higher values if we want to

Interesting. I find keeping my screen on, keeping it plugged in, and not putting battery saver can heat up my phone some.

Battery saver is probably the most important step

But I'm surprised that the phone doesn't have a powerful processor/chip
