LG Stylus 3 battery draining very fast & warranty

Battery drains very fast, in like 4-5 hours at times even if I'm not talking on the mobile. It's a 320 mah battery as per gsm arena.

Also, my warranty is expiring, should I continue it so that the battery issue can be solved? Is this most likely a battery issue or could be something else too?

And even otherwise, does it make sense to continue warranty? Price is about 1200 per year

Thanks

Did you check which app drains battery faster via Settings > Battery option?

Have you not hibernated all user apps using greenify yet?

THanks, I'll do that but shouldI continue my warranty or not?
Also, even if I've not installed greenify, the discharge should still not be that much, don't you think?

Your phone wasn't worth buying (because of the alternatives) when you bought it. Why waste more money on it?
Apps running in the background would consume battery and if you have data/wifi/gps on, they would be syncing as well. GPS options also has wifi and bluetooth scanning set to "on" at times.

Yup, I do regret buying it.. but my old Xiomi would last for about 10-12 hrs easily if I'm not mistaken, you think battery draining fast could be some hardware error as well?

Nope, just poorly optimised software.

Is your warranty applicable to the phone battery? Many warranties exclude it because of the rapid deterioration. If yes, you can continue it and get the battery replaced, but if I were you, I would buy a new phone instead.
