At the weekend my SOT was over 6 hours and still had more than 30% battery. I think that’s pretty good. Of course it could be more, but I’m more worried about the camera

Phone (2a) Plus - Battery Life Discussion
I have been using this phone[Nothing 2a plus]for two days, and I have noticed that the battery seems to be draining faster compared to my Nothing phone 2A. Could this issue be specific to my device, or might it be related to a recent software update?
Battery percentage dropped from 90% to 35 % in 3 hour 46 min screentime [40 min gaming] .
Is this normal?
shusant is your device brand new? If so, I’d suggest that the phone is learning your behaviour and intensive processes are running that are linked to the phones setup.
I’d give the phone at least 7 days to truly understand what the battery life potential will be. If you’re gaming at high FPS that will also impact speed of drain.
hrry changed the title to Nothing (2a) Plus - Battery Drain Question .
Right give your phone time. And also remove/disable apps which you don’t use often.
Like, I’ve removed Google search and Android Auto, google tv.

hrry I have brought it 7 days ago. It’s great have such a community experience.
hrry Here’s a reply you can use:
I bought the phone 7 days ago, so it’s still optimizing its battery performance. I don’t do much gaming, so that’s not a major factor for me. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and it’s great to have such a supportive community.
6 days later
The idea of a phone “learning your behaviour” is just a myth.
My 2a+ got 11 hours SOT first full charge
pandaman777 what! How?
Bestscenes_fiv5xAfKu4 I do have the same problem bro is this caused by not using nothing charger? Or it is update issue
SATHISHKUMAR_RwZMQL8AQa in settings there’s an option ‘screen timeout > screen attention ’ try turning it off ,because it says it uses front camera to work that function to work. I hope it will improve battery backup.
shusant I didn’t find screen attention in settings 
VinayKumar_BxfFosoaQU display> screen timeout> screen attention or just search screen attention in settings.
This is a very real problem on the phone 2a plus
Do they not know of this issue? The battery life on my unit is so bad it lasts only about SOT of 5.5 hours .
This is very disappointing indeed and tey should fix it asap.
Facing same problem of battery drain
I’m facing the same problem, some people get 8 hours and more but mine is like 5-6 hours only. It’s been 3 weeks since I bought it.
Your device is Nothing 2a plus right.
My battery drain very fast and I am getting 4 to 5 hour of SOT.
WHAT’S THE HELL MY 5 YEARS OLD PHONE GIVES THAT MUCH Screen on time.
Very Bad experience with nothing 2a plus
