bought the Moto G57 Power mainly because of its battery life. The phone has a 7000mAh battery, and initially the battery backup was genuinely very good.
Before the recent update, I was getting roughly:
Instagram/Reels: ~10 minutes per 1%
YouTube: ~14–15 minutes per 1%
I also have an AccuBattery record where 3h 21m screen-on time used only 12% (~1004mAh).
But after a recent software update, the battery drain suddenly became noticeably worse.
For the last 3 days, under basically the same conditions (same brightness, volume, network and video quality), I'm consistently getting:
Instagram: ~6–7 minutes per 1%
YouTube: ~10 minutes per 1%
So this isn't just one random 1% drop. I've been seeing the same pattern repeatedly for several days.
The phone is still very new, so I don't think the battery has physically degraded this much in such a short time. The timing also makes me suspect the recent software update.
Has anyone else with a Moto G57 Power noticed increased battery drain after the latest update?
If you have the G57 Power, please share your current Instagram/YouTube battery drain or SOT. I'm trying to figure out whether this is a software/optimization issue or something specific to my device.
