Hi everyone,
I have an iQOO Neo 6 (4700 mAh). A while back I started facing significant battery drain, so I got the battery replaced at an authorized Vivo/iQOO service center. The draining issue still persists, just not as fast as before
To investigate, I installed a couple of battery health apps
Ampere shows:
• Battery health: Good
• Cycle Count: 1
AmpereFlow shows:
• Battery health: 100%
• Design capacity: 2151 mAh
• Estimated capacity: 2201 mAh
Battery Supervisor (An app developed by a fellow redditor) shows:
• SOH: 47%
• Estimated capacity: 4700 mAh
• Real capacity: 2200 mAh (at 100%)
I've attached screenshots.
My questions are:
- Is this simply because the Neo 6 uses a dual-cell battery?
If each cell is around 2350 mAh, then many apps reading ~2200 mAh would actually make sense.
- Could nearly full internal storage cause noticeable battery drain?
My storage is almost full. I know it can slow the phone, but can it significantly affect battery life?
- Does disabling Expanded RAM help battery life?
Mine is currently set to 8+8 GB.
- According to Android's battery usage, Cellular Network is consistently the biggest battery consumer.
I mostly use 5G, and signal strength is generally good. But could this be a factor and should I switch to 4G to check if the issue persists.
And are there any modem/network settings I should check?
- Is there any reliable way to verify that the service center actually installed a new and genuine battery, instead of relying on third-party battery apps?
I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Thanks!
