Why does my new phone's battery die by 3 PM, like latest celebrity news?

"body": "I got this new phone last month and the battery life is terrible, it's dead by like 3 PM with just normal use. I checked the battery settings and nothing seems to be draining it unusually. My old phone lasted way longer. I'm starting to think I just got a bad unit or something. Maybe I need to just return it."

That sounds rough for a brand new phone and totally frustrating.

Not sure if its a rogue app or a battery defect, tough to tell from here.

I had a similar issue after a big update and a quick factory reset fixed it.

If nothing helps just push for a warranty swap or replacement to avoid carrying a lemon.
