Display

The display of the device is another thing which can contribute to the fast draining of battery. The thing you can do here is lowering the brightness of the screen. You can also enable auto-brightness which will lower the brightness according to the lighting on your surroundings. Also to save battery, use the dark theme if the phone supports.

Firmware issues
