A51 Battery Drain issue

[SillyRat]

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.

if you want to update in future through smart switch then this is the procedure
for your general information only

1. Connect the mobile device to the computer with the USB cable.

2. Download smart swich for pc Open Smart Switch on your computer.
3. If a software update is available for your device, Smart Switch automatically prompts you to update.

4. Click Update to begin downloading the necessary files.

5. Click OK to proceed. Your device may turn off and on a few times during the update process. When the update is complete, the device returns to the Home screen.


Note:
1. If you haven't plugged in to your computer before, tap Allow on the pop-up on your phone to give it access.

2. If Smart Switch doesn't recognize the phone, click the menu in Smart Switch and click Reinstall device driver then restart.

5)After a few moments, your phone will be recognized by Smart Switch and you'll see several options on the main screen for backing up and restoring. You do not need to back up or restore your phone to initiate an update.

6)A software check is performed when you plug in, and Smart Switch will list your current software details. If there is a software update available for your phone, you'll be notified on the main screen.

7)If available, Click Update to install the latest software. It will download first to your computer, then sideload to your phone.

but keep in mind that the update is big in size compared to ota update

yes you can do that ....wait for next security patch update if you are feeling device not creating too much issue

wait brother till next update or visit service centre and get reinstall your software update if possible

[SillyRat]

I'll probably wait for the update there's nothing much I can do.
If the problem gets worse then maybe ill visit the service center.
The Pandemic has slowed everything down difficult to travel to another town and visiting a service center
