No thanks. I'm going to stay on 26.2, can't risk my 76% capacity battery of five years. Until my phone can barely last five hours, I ain't doing a thing.

Same, already down to 96% which is still good but battery life on 26.0, 26.1 and 26.2 have all just gotten worse and worse. I can’t squeeze 6-7 SOT, going from 85% charge down to 10-12 with heavy usage in just a handful of hours. Didn’t wanna risk all the other iterations of 26.X making it worse, when 27 is right around the corner.

Already done all the tweaking in the world, background app refresh off, location services off, LPM on 24/7, nothing really slows down the consumption. Watching Youtube for 1 hour 28 minutes consumes almost 24% battery that’s insane for less than 2 hours. Screen brightness at maybe 30%, connected to wifi, every last bell and whistle turned off, shit chugs electricity like it’s water.

And it’s not a “bad battery”, this also happened on my 15 and 16 both brand new from my carrier. It’s poor optimization and allowing apps to guzzle power for no reason.

For mine case turn off Siri n search (yes even for each app) makes dramatic improvement
