Even though the device owner has owned this phone for only a month having purchased it for a good price on eBay, he is frustrated because he bought the device specifically for its performance and battery life. The Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) carries a 6.8-inch display, is powered by a Snapdragon 695 application processor, and features a 5000mAh battery.
A fellow Reddit subscriber wrote to complain that he has two Motorola handsets with the same problems. Those models are the Edge 2021 and a 2019 Z3 Play. Another Motorola customer noted that he and his wife have different model phones, but both are currently losing battery life quickly even though they are both updated to the most recent software version available. Starting on April 30th, their devices have been losing battery life at a rate of about 10% per hour.
Let’s look at one more example. A post written by someone whose mother has the Edge 5G (2020) says that the phone has been “draining battery like crazy since the start of this week.” Now, we should point out that all of these phones are at least a couple of years old suggesting that they have lost 20% to 30% of their original capacity. But the typical 1% capacity loss per month has nothing to do with a sudden increase in how fast the battery drains.
