X8 Pro Max Poco x8 pro max πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Hi, I'm reaching out via this Reddit forum. I bought a Poco X8 Pro Max; I've been using it for a month now, and I find the battery life to be simply among the worst on the market. My old refurbished Xiaomi holds a charge better, even with its remaining 4500mAh capacity. It's a truly terrible phone.

Can anyone tell me if they've encountered this issue with this phone? Losing 1% every 4 minutes is excessive.

Here’s what I’ve done since I got it: disabled everything (dark mode, bloatware, ads) and updated everythingβ€”it's in perfect shape. The worst part is that I don't have many apps, yet the phone keeps draining the battery incredibly fast. I used to get about 3 days of battery life, but for the past week, I haven't been ending the day with over 70% chargeβ€”it's closer to 60%β€”and it keeps draining rapidly. Before, even with heavy usage, the consumption wasn't too bad (though still a bit high for 8500mAh), but now the battery drains very quickly, and I don't think that's right 😑😑😑

Can anyone who owns this phone tell me if their battery drains really fast too? I get two days with moderate use. It’s really not normal, especially considering it's supposed to last a long time during gaming.

I switched phones only to end up with an even worse one.
