So this phone is brand new delivered on 17th of August  2020.
And I am disappointed with the battery life is giving me. Apps like Instagram are draining like 2% in 4 minutes and zoom took 8% in an hour.
Till 18 google app was using more than 20% in background. I had to disable it and trust me if iI have to disable some functions that are useful then this is not a modern phone.
Am I supposed to disable the main things that make a phone a smartphone.
I WANT A QUICK SOLUTION SAMSUNG!!
I am super disappointed.
And people thinking that I am here to defame Samsung, No its not that I have paid for this phone almost 23k so I can atleast expect some support. 
I am adding screenshots too just for reference.
My phone is currently running on one ui 2.1 latest update with altz life.
Help

no dear no need to reset, as this quite natural, Google running in background is necessary sometimes
after all is powered by google

so brother,
My phone lost 11% battery while using Hotspot for an hour in safe mode with display and location off and then after factory reset
in normal mode i started hotshot at 6 p.m. and at 7:19 battery was at 57 with location on and display off
is it justified?
Do you think I should still visit service center or maybe ask for a replacement because if ill take more time these buggers at Samsung will refuse to replace or refund.
I've seen people saying that the battery problem has started from last 2 months but I can't understand what's the problem is it with my device or there software.
Google app is under control but some apps the spotify and snapchat are using more.
overall a bad experience with Samsung as of now

so if you think those app consuming more battery then set as point no. 5 that is restrict background activity and data of and unnecessary notification
and by the way bro for this reason no companies will replace the device.
and do put no.5 settings all those app which consuming more battery
and wait for next update brother
