This post is about a mindset problem that I have seen with some users.

Basically, these users expect everything to just work, especially on flagship devices. Nothing wrong with that per se. But then one must not forget that even flagship devices need proper configurations to give the experience one expects from it.

When you buy an expensive car or a bike, do you really expect it to just run without proper service and maintenance? You don't. Doesn't matter how expensive the car or bike is. It requires similar care and maintenance (perhaps more) as the least expensive machines.

Same is true of smartphones. Just because you bought a flagship device with the best hardware, you shouldn't expect everything to work irrespective of what you install on the device, and how you use the system.

Irrespective of the price and segment, your smartphone experience is a direct function of the apps you install, and the way you set it up. I can't stress this enough. This is the primary factor for most common complaints.

It is dumb to think that everything must just work irrespective of what you do with the device.

Much of the premium that flagships charge today are primarily for the cameras, and some software features. Beyond these two, there is little that differentiates the flagships from other devices in terms of performance. As a result, your experience depends on the same set of factors, whether your device is a flagship or not.

Many users claimed they even did a factory reset and still their battery didn't improve. Great that you are getting 6 hours SOT but having to charge your phone twice in a day is by itself not very good news. Anyway can you please share your battery state screenshot if that is okay?

I have always been charging my phone twice daily, once a full charge and the 2nd time mostly topping it up. While my battery life is slightly lower than my previous phone, the main issue with it is the charging speed. Mine charges pretty slowly @ 1% per minute.

I'll post the screenshot for my next charge cycle as i topped up my battery only a while back.

There is not much difference
Bw flagship and midrange

Only difference is low specs and cheap quality materials
Other functions are based on processor's power

After that everything is same
Especially bw Top A series and S series
