With less than 4hrs screen time in 33hrs I'd say average. Looks like you don't use your phone much
Not too much What’s app calls txt e mail browsing but used it today for Maps with Car play on 3 hr journey time. Does seem much longer between charges than I phone 25 Pro I had
If you went from a 15Pro to a 16+ the battery capacity has been significantly increased so it not a surprise that it goes longer between charges.
Agree I expected it to be longer but surprised at how much longer the plus is over the pro (15 pro). Not sure how much more than 26 pro or 16 phone
I’d say it is very good.
People often focus on screen time and forget that it’s the constant switching between base stations and signal connections that drains most of your battery when you're mobile and not connected to Wi-Fi.
I have been using the 16 Pro for a few days now, and I always get a sense of déjà vu when I take it out of my pocket after an hour or so to find the battery has dropped by 1-2%. It reminds me of using the HTC One X when it was released many years ago, or the infamous Samsung chip in the iPhone 6s.
