I have an iPhone 8 and I’ve been going for a lot of walks recently. While I’ve been going on them, my phone will suddenly turn off. I’ll turn it back on and it will say 1%. I restart it again and it shows the proper percentage. It does that on and on every 5 minutes. Very annoying because my phone is basically a brick. What if there is an emergency? (It’s around -1C here)

Battery issue. What’s the health at?

80%… I’ve changed tons of settings so it can last all day

That’s the reason. Battery is on the way out.
The moment it dips to 79, get that sucker replaced by Apple. That’s the source of your issues.
Alternately, switch up to an SE 2020 or 2022, same form factor as the 8 but newer internals. Assuming you prefer the 8 form factor over the 13/13 mini/14 Pro/Max/Plus/etc!
Battery replacement will be cheaper, but either SE will last you a lot longer.

Yeah… I’m gonna get a new phone at the end of the month. Looking at the Pixel 7 pro.

Good luck! Seems like a decent phone, especially if camera quality is your priority.
