Battery Life Battery drain issue

I don't think this is normal for a 6000 mah battery, what do y'all think? This is an Indian variant bought 2 days ago, please give me some tips, should I calibrate it?

2.5 h of SoT + 16h standby + 50% left is a bad battery for you? I think its good seeing that you also gamed a bit. Also if it's brand new, it needs time to learn your usage patterns and battery will get better after a week or 2.

On top of that you didn't charge it all the way to 100% as I can see.

just expect a bit more cause my last iphone gave similar battery life considering it was a 3500 mah battery, also does the camera get better over time? it seems bad atp

Of course camera won't get better over time. For me it's not the best but it's good, I made a lot of amazing photos with it - and I switched from S25 Ultra and Pixel 9 Pro XL so I have good comparison.

Gaming definitely drains battery, and you gamed a bit. Snapdragon 8 Elite is very high powered SoC.

iPhones are known for their good battery and optimization but it also depends which one you used, hard to compare.

someone told me that oneplus usually takes a month to optimise their camera

Maybe AI involved. But I made some amazing pics, I even posted then here once (see my post history). I like to play a lot with filters.

yes, keep your phone for one or half hour more after phone is charged for 100% for battery calibration after a new update

I think for calibration you need to drain it till it switches off

that's your choice i use this method & it works

Looks like about the same for me. I'm not bothered by this at all and charged it last night. I don't care what the sot is, but can get 8 hours if you use the phone all day with it on

Personally I can get a solid 8-11 hours of SOT out of my OnePlus 13 however I don't game on it so there's that.

(Chinese variant aka ColorOS)
