Galaxy Z Fold 2 Battery Issue

[DragonKnight0102]

Hi Everyone, any Z fold 2 owner encountering battery drain issue?

Because I'm experiencing idle battery drain about 3% to 4% even with flight mode and no background apps running. When flight mode is off, the idle drainage roughly bout 5% to 7%. Not sure is it normal??

anyway, without context as to time, it's hard to say whether the battery drain is normal. Won't be surprised if there is a problem.

From my personal experience - my brand-new Tab S from Singtel (not some funny China seller hor) can go from 100% to 75% in under one hour when idle.

Brought to the Samsung service center. When collected back a few hours later, I noted from the repair form that they had changed the charging port only. I was like "huh?" I asked what about the battery. The counter guy said the battery was fine.

I simply glared at him incredulously and asked "how can the battery lose quarter charge in under one hour and be fine?" That guy then went to talk to the tech. Finally got the battery changed though I had to waste some more time walking around while they fix it.

I think when you mentioned no background apps running, I am not sure if this is a correct statement. I am not doubting you, but there are apps that are known to work in the background on the sly. So it really depends on what is installed on your phone.

In my experience, I generally find that Android devices lose more power than an Apple device even if you leave it on airplane mode. I can leave my iPhone on airplane mode when I go to bed, and after 7 hours, its still 100%. iOS is more aggressive to kill off any applications running in the background.

Hi all, sorry post in wrong forum. Okay, so I got my fold 2 about 2 weeks ago only. At first I thought, my phone is learning my usage pattern but till now it still drain quite alot even with light usage e.g. browser and whatsapp texting on cover screen only.

iphone stay at 100% quite long, after which the rest drain quite fast. Longest I had at 100% was 15 hours (not airplane mode).

For iPhones,try it again when the battery is not at full charge
But yeah iOS handles battery well
