Battery optimization on the Nothing Phone 3a Lite is honestly bad. I charged the phone to 80%, played BGMI for just 30 minutes, and the battery dropped straight to 50%. That’s a 30% drain in half an hour — unacceptable for normal gaming.
This isn’t about heavy usage excuses; it’s poor optimization. If you game even a little, expect constant charging and battery anxiety. Nothing needs to seriously fix this through software updates, because right now the battery performance doesn’t match daily-use expectations at all.
