How do I get a good battery life in Samsung Galaxy A71? When to go for returning it?

[Android Central Question]

I had bought a Samsung Galaxy A71.Samsung has been known for battery drains and heating issue on this one.

(Samsung takes 1 week to learn my usage pattern)

After 1 week, I still see a good battery drain. Light usage: 1-3% every min which is 10% every hour.Standby drain is now 2% overnight. All apps are in deep sleep, All scanning service,GPS, wifi turned off. I also see heating issue if I charge or restart the phone multiple times in a row.
My SOT is around 9hrs with very light usage on this 4500mAh battery, if I really start using the Phone,it will last barely less than a day with heating.

What shall I try? Shall I return? Other A71 users get surely better performances!

Can monitor in safe mode which disables 3rd party apps , maybe one of them are causing this otherwise see if any members who have that phone can chime in .

Welcome to Android Central! 9 hours of screen-on time is pretty great -- is that really less than expected for that phone?

hmmm, i love when i can chime in on discussions, seeing i dont hav a flagship to partake on d other forums

so, A71. jus checked i seem to be averaging 8hrs screen on time.

only time phone gets hot is when i am playing games.

battery drain for me has been minimal, i mean, it is a new phone. i dont think my phone has ever gone below 30% before i get home at the end of the day.

what else do you want to know
