Samsung phones have the capability to do this. There's a setting you can set to only charge to 80%. It looks like they mention that in the article.

Android phones in general have something called Adaptive Charging that attunes to when you normally need a full charge. For instance if you are charging at night while you're sleeping it will charge slower than it would during the day to improve battery health.

Mine automatically charges to 80% if you have an alarm set, then it charges the rest in the last minutes.
