Right now, there's no point in comparing battery stats because this function isn't working as it should. The same thing goes for ZenFone 6.
Both phones have always had this bug and it will be fixed in a future update. We haven't been able to fix it until now since it required help from another company. This bug prevents the battery stats from measuring everything the way it should. Because of this, two users who use their phone in a similar way but with different apps, will end upp with different results. SOT in hours can be fairly correct but the battery drain percentage of everything else is wrong. So you won't know by looking at the stats if there's a power hungry app draining all your battery. A SOT comparison right now will only work if you have two phones with very similar apps and that are used in the same way.
We're not alone in having this bug but other manufacturers show their stats differently making it harder to notice these inconsistencies.
So at the moment, if you feel that the battery life used to be better, don't look at the stats. Look at the total battery percentage and compare that to what you normally had with the same user pattern. If it's much lower, then you might have a battery draining app.
Best way to quickly find out if this is the case, is to prevent all apps from starting by themselves with our auto-start manager and then you control which apps that's running by looking in the recent apps overview. If it now feels like you battery life is back to normal, then you have a battery draining app.
The whole charge your phone for 8 hours thing won't make any difference. This recommendation is only for unused phones that might have been laying on the shelf for months. A lot of electronic products with battery have similar recommendations.

Oh wow damn that sucks. Will the fix for it be coming when the android 10 update comes? Or will it take less/more time?
