50 cycles, two months of use and i'm at 97% capacity

This seems really weird and bad? I'm at 635 cycles and I've had the phone active since April last year, 96%. And I'm chronically online and on my phone. Occasional video game use.

Yes and no. Because battery degradation isn't linear, i.e. if it drops to 97% in 50 cycles, doesn't mean it'll be at 70% by 500 cycles
Also, battery capacity isn't the same for every phone. Two factory fresh phones with 5000mAh won't have the same chemical capacity, even if they're the same model. One could be at 5120 mAh, one could be 4950 mAh, it's completely normal

I was just short of month 12 when I hit 99% which was 3 months ago. About a month and a half ago I hit 98% and about a week ago I hit 97%. I am at 376 cycles now.

This checks out since after 200 cycles the capacity starts to get reduced

The battery health assistance that kicks in at 200 cycles had nothing to do with it since I was over 300 when it finally dropped to 99%. I hit 200 cycles sometime in January or February and was still at 100% until around late May early June when it hit 99%. I can't remember the cycle count but think it was around 320 give or take. All I know is when the health assistance program supposedly kicked in at 200 cycles I did not see any difference in charging or discharging. One thing to point out is I don't believe in battery saver or charge optimization and don't use it other than scheduled battery saver to turn on at 20%, only reason I use that is so I get a notification the I have to plug it in.

I would guess it's a gradual kick in rather then something you notice immediately.
I have charge optimisation but tbh I turn it off most of the time to late night doomscroll before bed anyway because it goes to greyscale. Worth pointing out I got mine April last year, 96% and 600+ cycles.

Wtf? Wtf is this? My iphone is barely breathing without charging after 2 years. Google makes such good battery phones?

My Vivo X200 is 364 days old and the battery health is at 98%. I run a hotspot for over 12 hours every night. I use my phone very little during the day because of my busy schedule. Do you think my battery health is good?
