I've had this issue for years across several devices.
I have however mostly used Samsung devices so I'm not sure if other brands have the same issue. Probably, but I can't say for sure.
I've had this LG thing (V6 Dual Screen) for years; I don't upgrade until my stuff is literally broken. Previous phone was a Galaxy S4. I didn't have the problem when it was new, which is why I figured it was hardware just wearing out. But it could have also just been one of the updates to Android itself.
My last two upgrades have been because of dieing parts. Degrading batteries that I can't be bothered to have replaced and a wifi adapter that just quit working altogether.
I miss my Moto Z2 Play with the moto mods. Extra battery, external speakers, even a fully functional projector to share the screen. That thing was the shit.
Fuck yeah. I hella wanted that thing. It sounded neat and the projector has always since made me question why that isn't a standard thing on every phone the way the camera is? It would be awesome.
Space. The projector just about tripled the thickness of the phone. It was really handy being removable.
I wish more manufacturers tried out the swappable add-on concept. There was lots of potential there.
I really really miss that extra battery letting my phone go 3 full days under heavy use without a charge.
I have used motorola, xiaomi, samsung, realme and htc. Every one of them had this issue.
