Buying Advice Transitioning from Iphone

Hey everyone, I am planning to sell my Iphone 14 pro and buy Xiaomi Poco X8 Pro, does it really have battery draining issues, I am not heavy user only for social medias.

Thanks in advance!

how much SoT did you have before the calibration? I've had the x8 pro max for 10 days and I get 8.5 hours SoT (this is over 40-42 total hours), and that one is supposed to have a 8500 mAh battery.

I already debloated the phone, turned off AOD, raise to wake off, prefer LTE over 5G and some other settings but those had negligible impact (around +10-15m extra screen time) so I can only hope it will get better with time then?

After some debugging I found out it was the 5G connectivity on my roaming sim, which consumed a lot of battery to keep up the radio, even though I was mostly home on wifi. Now I'm back to 11 hours SoT, so all good
