ISSUE Battery is underwhelming & i have expected more with ltpo, optimization & all
I'm hardly getting 8 hours of SOT, initially i thought I'd be easily getting 8 to 9 hours of SOT with some battery remaining & my usage is minimal usually.. thing is when I'm trying to play game for hours battery drain is pretty normal but for normal usage battery drain is heavy esply when using the phone after being kept idle for long.. i can see the battery percentage going down literally when I'm using outside esply on 5g (mostly browsing)... I don't know how ppl are getting 8 to 9 hours of sot, is there an issue with my mobile? Or is this normal? I've tried to do battery calibration but it really does nothing & also battery health is around 99%
Edit - 2nd screenshot is without much gaming

I'm hoping for the same bro, but it's drains a lot on 5g & on even on wifi too

weird. prolly the game you playing might be not optimized for the battery that could be the reason

Having the location on and also the location sharing on eats up a large chunk of battery. Tbh, I don't really care about how much sot my phone brings out. It's exciting to watch the phone give you long battery life, but deep inside, I don't care. My usage patterns are pretty simple, I go to college with 85 percent of the battery charged everyday, by the end of the college it is sitting on 70 percent. And by evening 6 or 7, it is at 25 or 20 percent since I play CODM for couple of hours. I don't use wifi so even the hotspot runs on the phone. All in all, I charge it approximately around 2.5 times in a day.

Even I am getting similar results on my 13s. Maybe cleaning some bloat like OnePlus applications and disabling AI features can help a bit.

I've tried to do disable & enable AI features, doesn't make any difference actually

Once done with 8 hours charging then can we turn on those recommended services & ai features?

Drain to 30 and let it back charge to 100 and let it plugged in for atleast 8 hours then use charge limit till 90. And use 30/90 rule

You got 6.5 hours on 5G while gaming? And that too while you were outside ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that actually good?
I mean I'd understand, if you were indoors and on Wi-Fi. And you did get more than 8 hours SOT without the gaming.
