I'd rather have a low end phone where it offers a memory expansion slot for convenient control over the contents that I put in there and removable battery than having to mess about taking it apart let alone trying to find a replacement battery when they decide to stop making it from a reputable company.

My two Samsung tablets say exactly that in the battery-saver mode. For what it's worth, I used to get 3-4 years out of a smartphone battery. My latest Samsung S9 battery popped out of the case after just over a year.

No one is questioning that lower terminal voltage results in greater lifespan.

So then you don't know.
You stated 4.2V is a full charge, and for some battery chemistries that is not true, 4.3 or 4.35V is a full charge.
Wonder how accurate that readback voltage is, should be fairly accurate.

in how many years?

I divorced them years and years ago after they refused a warranty repair for a bad USB socket because my phone had the bootloader unlock fuses burned. Completely bogus justification.
So not only am I no longer buying expensive smartphones from them, but no expensive TVs, home stereo equipment, computers or anything else. Smart one Samsung. :-+

Check if there's a setting to "protect battery" like what my Tab S7 does.
