Is it required to charge a new phone before useingnit these days?

[Batman1867]

I just got a new s23 ultra. Do i need to charge it 1st like we did in the old days?  Do i drain it down to 10% then charge it?

Please advise. Thank you!!

No, you don't have to drain the battery down to 10%

If it was my new device, I'd just charge it to 100% and use it normally after that.

Keep in mind that a new device will take a few days to "learn" your usage patterns.

Great point on the usage pattern. Thank you

Hi, as adviced by RedDogRabbit you don't need to drain the battery. Please charge it to 100% as it is a new device.

Also, congratulations on your new Galaxy S23 Ultra.

i think you have to drain it 🤷🏿‍♂️
Just got mine too

[RedDogRabbit]

No, you do NOT have to drain it!

Your device isn't using a Nickel Cadmium battery, it's using Lithium Ion Batteries.

Forget the old battery technology.
