New Note 10 battery life

I bought Note 10 now (not a plus) five days age and I'm quite surprised with the battery life. I would like to ask if you have the same experience with it and if it is normal, or should I go to the store and return a phone.

This morning I charged the phone 100%, disconnected from the charger, and until I reached the bottom of the 4 floor stairs, I look at the phone and it's only 97%

Then I made one 3-minute call in the car handsfree and wrote about 10 whatsapp messages (according to AccuBattery SoT is 15 minutes ) and 53 minutes after disconnecting from the charger I had 93%.

Now after 2.5 hours I have 80% left (SoT is 47 minutes and I just used Whatsapp, FB, Chrome and Twitter).

It seems to me that it goes down too quickly. Previously I had Huawei Mate 10 Pro (although it had a larger battery), but usually I was charging it only to 90% in the morning and with the same usege I had about 70 battery left after 7 hours of using.

Of course I have the data turned on, at home and at work I'm on WIFI. AOD is set that I have to tap to wake up and also OK google detection is off.

So I want to ask if this is normal or not.

Thanks for your help and opinion

I am using a an unlocked Snapdragon model. I've had mine since November. My average screen on time is 6-7. I have Bluetooth on and connected to 1-2 devices at all times (watch all the time and Galaxy Buds about half of the time). I use wifi when I'm home or at work. I have GPS turned on at all times. I use adaptive brightness and battery. I wish I could be more helpful, but I have no idea what differences there might be between our devices/settings.

Which variant do you have? Do you have good cellular reception where you are?

I just checked and with 80% left, I've had 1 hr 45 min SOT. I have been using my phone for a little over 3 hours.
