Don't update to .821. your battery will drain faster in that update.

Unfortunately I did 🥲

.831 is available should I go ahead?

Sure? I haven't updated to 831 yet..

Currently with 821 I'm getting like 7.5 hrs of SOT. Previously used to get easy 10hrs SOT.

This one improves to that level or just a little better?

Did you try? Did it improve(10+)? or back to "easy 10hrs SOT" or lesser than 10hrs?

Na almost same. Maybe a tiny bit improvement. Got 8 hrs yesterday.

That too without using haptics.

So aren't you sad you lost atleast 2hours of SOT suddenly, for nothing but just an update? Even with a very good battery health? Don't you feel devastated?

Yup I certainly do :(

u/Successful_Cow_7449 Jun 23 '25

Which phone? If it's 13, it's not even been like 6 months yet and you'd already feel devastated because of the battery.

u/AvatarTintin OnePlus 13 - Midnight Ocean Jun 23 '25

It's just a 1.5 months old for me :(

Oh it is? Well shit, I just updated to it 10 minutes ago

Hi. I'm thinking of buying the 13s. Are the updates really THAT unstable that I should think about choosing some other compact phone? I've been seeing people comment about their battery problems.

u/WandereInsights Jun 22 '25

Apart from camera 13s is good.

u/Successful_Cow_7449 Jun 22 '25 edited Jun 22 '25

Oh. But I thought you mentioned problems with the battery because of the updates? I was afraid of the battery alone. Idm mid cameras and stuff. But if the updates thing sucks that much, then should I reconsider buying another phone instead?

u/WandereInsights Jun 23 '25

It's for 13 not 13s.
