My new phone's battery is draining so fast it's weird || I just got this new phone last week and the battery life is terrible. It was fine for the first couple days but now it's dropping like 20 percent an hour even if I'm not using it much. I checked the battery usage screen and nothing obvious is eating it up. I'm starting to think I got a lemon or something. I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it already though.
That sounds frustrating for a brand new phone. Start with quick checks like which apps run in the background and enable battery saver to test if it helps.
If the drain stays high even when you are not using it consider a software problem or a defective battery. Check for updates and backup before a reset.
In my experience a software bug in a big update burned battery until a fix arrived. A factory reset helped me after backing up data.
If nothing changes you should swap it under warranty rather than dealing with a lemon. Contact support and request a replacement device.
