As can be seen in the screenshots below, sometimes apps that you aren't even using end up wasting hundreds or even thousands of mAh of the phone's battery. Power usage statistics show that it's the background usage that's the culprit. Happens randomly - Flipkart never did this earlier. In contrast, the same apps don't exhibit the same energy-draining behavior on my Xiaomi Poco F1, implying that the apps themselves might not be responsible. In any case, the problem is severe enough that Realme is off from my future phone purchases.

The problem now - Sep'20 - is serious enough that Realme as a brand for future smartphone purchases / recommendations will have to be blacklisted until this issue is resolved fully. Look at the mess with Douyin.

And now the tolerance lines are being crossed. A supposedly dumb app such as Photos is draining huge amounts of battery.

The problem is totally out of hand. Installed a game yesterday, and see how it's gobbling my battery in just one day with zero usage today. Horrible for Realme.

More nonsense. A simple third-party camera app is eating energy like anything.
