New Phone Losing Charge

[Neeranam]

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.

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.
