Question Xiaomi 13 - Battery life and drain

[Djeloan]

Hello all, how's your phone battery performing?
I'm not so satisfied with mine...

4-5hrs SOT is max i could get in theese few days i had the phone.


Also, is this Android system drain normal (pic attached) ?

did hou get your device from trading shenzen? are there any differences to Chinese version of the devices? if you got the device from them, can you fast boot flash global or any other version?

sorry for the off topic

 

[Gankadin]

I got it from eBay, if you want i can send you the link.
They did the bootloader unlock and pre-installed the EU ROM, i just fastboot updated it.
My unit is the China version, so you can't flash global rom and lock the bootloader, so EU ROM is the best option.

with Chinese version ROM, are there any downsides? I am just worried if I have unlocked bootloader, Google pay will stop working eventually or won't at all as it does on custom ROM s
please share the link

Well the EU ROM makes google and banking apps think that the bootloader is locked, so as long as the developers will continue to make updates there shouldn't be any problems. but check here more posts lots of people talking about China vs Global.
i just discovered that global version have eSim support...

Well, I live in Europe and that missing 4G frequency B20 might be pretty essential, I might just wait until they lower the price on Global device. They will eventually, it has been just a month since the device released.

The xiaomi eu doesn't support eSim?

The xiaomi eu doesn't support eSim?

I guess it's a hardware limitation, any way i don't have it on my device (CN, EU ROM)

One more day that i would consider bad. Is there a way to check why is android system consuming most battery?

Wi-Fi is more energy intensive than data especially for streaming and downloads.

I am getting about 7 SOT and I am OK with that.

Is it actually true, and makes any sense "for a normal user"?
I always thought and lived in that mindset that data drains more, (and it makes more sense for me) due to that when you travel around, and the connection to the cellular towers always changing, sometimes back-and forth.
