🔋 iQOO 15R Battery Usage - Real Day Test

I decided to test it with real-world conditions instead of light usage. Starting from 100% at 12:00 AM, I used the phone throughout the day for BGMI gaming, social media, multitasking, and even screen recording, mostly at high brightness due to direct sunlight in my room.

📉 Battery dropped to: 18% 🪫

⏱ Total time since last full charge: 15 hr 47 min

📱Screen Time

• Total screen time: 6 hr 38 min

🎮Usage Breakdown

• Battlegrounds Mobile India: 3 hr 52 min

• Instagram: 1 hr 53 min

• WhatsApp: 40 min

• Other apps and system usage throughout the day

During BGMI sessions, the game was played on 120 FPS, and screen recording was enabled for around 1 hour out of the total gaming time.

☀Real Usage Conditions

• Used mostly in my balcony room where direct sunlight falls on my bed

• Brightness stayed above 75% most of the time

• Frequent multitasking between apps

📊Hardware Power Consumption by BGMI (Last 24 Hours)

Battery stats show the following usage distribution:

• Screen refresh rate (144 Hz): 28%

• Mobile network: 2%

• GPS: 0%

• Wi-Fi: 0%

• Others (CPU, rendering, system processes): 70%

Most of the power drain came from CPU and system processing, which is expected during 120 FPS gaming, screen recording, and multitasking.

🌡Heating / Thermal Performance

During the gaming sessions:

• While playing BGMI at 120 FPS, the phone became quite warm after long sessions.

• During the 1 hour of screen recording while gaming, the device warmed up a bit more due to the extra processing load.

• Despite high brightness and mild sunlight, the temperature didn't affect the performance.

• No noticeable frame drops or performance throttling during gameplay.

Overall, the thermals stayed manageable even under heavy gaming conditions.

⚡Final Thoughts

From 100% → 18%, the iQOO 15R delivered:

✔ 15 hr 47 min total usage

✔ 6 hr 38 min screen time

✔ Nearly 4 hours of BGMI gameplay

✔ 120 FPS gaming with ~1 hour screen recording

✔ High brightness usage in direct sunlight

Even under these heavy real-world conditions, the phone comfortably lasted through the day

without any lag.
