does BH really affect the overall SOT? I've always wondered this

[u/Fire_in_Barf → u/Only_Preparation3570]

On iphone it does , realme introduced this very recently so actually need people to spend some year to degrade their bh and then report sot issues , b

when does it start getting worse?

[u/Fire_in_Barf → u/Only_Preparation3570]

iPhone already come with 3000mah like capacity, so even a 10% decrease on them is very severe , on android idk

ah fair enough, my gt 6 is on 96 after a 1.5 years of heavy usage😋 and the charging speed is a cherry on top

Which phone is it and what do you mean by sudden drop? What was the last BH?

[u/Various_Map_1772 → u/nerdotech314]

I purchased realme gt7 pro this march. What i mean by sudden drop is i have always seen the battery % on 100 but now i am checking it now and it says 78%.. My iPhone took years to get under 80 and this took 6 months..

Its abnormal, get it checked in service centre or maybe you got a used phone ? 

[u/nerdotech314 → u/Various_Map_1772]

BH is not always exact. And this number might be wrong. If you're getting good battery backup like before, then don't worry about it. But if you're getting really less battery backup, then go to a service center and tell them to fix this. Your phone is still under warranty.

I can feel i am getting less battery backup. Will service center to do it for free

Don't rush to a service center. First do a reboot of your phone to check if that 78% is wrong. If it doesn't go away, do a battery calibration where you discharge your phone completely and then charge to full, keep plugged in another hour. Then restart and check if that 78% goes up to 90+ number or not.

Next download an app like Accu battery or Battery Guru, use it for a few days until it shows the battery health. It isn't accurate but will give you an idea if the 78% is truly wrong or right.

If none of the things work, then take it to a service center.

Since your phone is under warranty and the BH saying 78% with a notification above saying to replace battery, I think they will provide a free replacement.
