Just bought a Samsung Flip 3 phone and charged it to 100% last night. 

 

When I woke up it was at 58%. 

 

Should I be charging it for a few hours? 

hmmm… that rapid power loss ……would leave any new device charging for 24 hours, regardless of charge status…..then back to shop for warranty replacement ( faulty battery) if such power loss repeats.

leave it plugged in all-night, unplug in the morning at 100%. Don't charge up before bed then unplug it

Is it an old version of the flip 3 ?

 

I considered buying one but the battery life of flip phones is worse then the battery life or regular smart phones.

Battery life is decidedly average for a smartphone, however. It lasts more than 25 hours, or a solid day with the screen on for about three hours, ending with under 25% left in the battery so you’ll have to charge it each day. That’s similar to last year’s model, but behind the 36 hours of the S21+.

No it really can be the new version for 34k baht. I been looking at them too as i like that they are smaller. However the battery life worries me a bit as its less then normal smartphones (and normal ones are not that great).

“ only 34k baht” ! thousand bucks. my new iphone7 cost 10k several years ago…… suppose no technical comparison though…… ?

Maybe you got the Chinese one?

 

Seriously,check if you have apps sucking up battery power in the background. 'Battery Information' in settings may point u in the right direction.

34k for a flip phone?!!!

Did you buy from an authorized dealer or some small shop dealing in 2nd hand phones and counterfits?

It's not healthy for the battery to charge to 100% all the time.

 

Try the app called AccuBattery, it will tell you how healthy your phone battery is and also how to charge it, highly recommended.

I see the max time is 6 hours constant use.
