I have a 5 year old Sony Xperia ZX which has had "battery care" enabled (possibly by default) since I bought it.

It charges the battery to something like 85% until shortly before my alarm is set, or the expected time I'll unplug it if no alarm is set. There isn't a way to manually control this, beyond changing the alarm time.

However, the battery is still going strong after 5 years.

(I wish they'd make a decent compact successor. The latest "Compact" Xperia phone seems to be 2.5cm taller! https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_5_iv-11838.php 15.6cm vs 13cm)
