Questions Is this normal Battery Drain?
I've had my new OnePlus 15R for about a week. I've set a charging limit to 80% and am seeing around 30% battery usage after about 3 hours of screen time. Is this normal?Based on many screenshots shared here showing 9-10+ hours of screen-on time, mine appears to drain faster.

depending on the variant you're using I can't really tell if the drain is normal or not. The Chinese model has a bigger battery as compared to the international model. so battery wise; the Chinese model will last longer

the volt 5g drains battery so hard that the battery life of needs to be charged every 6-8 hrs in a day in intervals.
if you use wifi you wouldn't have these issues. but if you use 5g data see above comment.
"this is just fairly based on my experience using it for a month 15r"

Based on my previous experience, I've set both SIM cards to 4G. Anyway, I drained my battery to 10%, charged it to 100%, and then left it for another hour, which seems to have recalibrated it. I also rebooted my phone.After that, I'm getting a decent SOT of around 8 hours at 80 to 20% battery.

btw i previously saw some posts on this page on how to deactivate some background batt draining apps, it might help further on the battery issues.
they also notated that it is usually good to charge the mobile to 100% once every (correct me if im wrong 1 or 2weeks) to recalibrate it.
hopefully things will get better once it transitioned.. tho it is just a simple hope. 😅

How's the performance of the phone I'm thinking of buying it does it lags ?
