So I was always told with new electronics that you need to charge the battery to 100%+ before you use it for the first time as that effectively sets the size if the battery – you can’t charge it past that point in future so if you only charge it to 50% you’re limiting yourself to a half capacity battery. I’ve just bought a new phone that comes with the battery partially charged.
Was I lied to all my life? Or is it that batteries have evolved over the years so things have changed? Or do I now have a limited capacity battery? Or…?

For the most optimized battery in modern smart phones you should never drop below 20% and never charge above 80%- 85%
and fast charging is ridiculously bad for battery life.
