base s26 battery after 1 week

performance is set to light mode, don't play games I just browse and scroll social media. Is this battery usage okay? Probably on wifi here like 85-90% of the time. Just worried because I'm seeing many people say using smart switch can cause battery problems, and I used it to transfer all my data and app info over.

goodbye s10

I've been okay with the poor battery life and slower speeds, but earlier this week I randomly noticed that the back cover of my s10 was coming off, could've potentially been a "spicy pillow" scenario, so I decided it was finally time to upgrade.

It's been a good 7 years, I hope my new s26 can last me just as long.

To those who upgraded recently/will upgrade soon, which phone did you pick?

I've been having trouble with the battery life amongst other issues and as I removed my phone case today I realize the back cover is slowly popping off, much more obvious only the side with the battery. I fear the battery might be swollen. While I could just replace the battery I think it's time to lay my s10 to rest. I got it when it was released and it has lasted me a solid 7 years.

I love my s10 and I've been stubborn about upgrading, so I have not researched or paid attention to the new phones at all. I'm wondering what are people upgrading to? S25, S26, iphone 17 and your reasoning? Will do more research but I'm worried I might have to make a decision quick with a swollen battery. I want a phone that will last me about the same time the s10 lasted me and prefer a smaller display so I'm not looking at the plus/ultra versions. Based on the US
