Why is the ZF7 doing worse in battery tests than the competition?

[Tagion]

In basically every battery test I've read (recent reviews, after initial updates) the ZF7 is doing worse than the competition with smaller battery's (like Mi 10 Pro) and sometimes higher refresh rates (like OP8, 8T)
Can we expect further optimisation, since the big battery is a huge selling point but it's actually doing worse than other flagships?

I'm not talking about my personal battery life, only about the battery life test from several reviews.

I can't judge battery life now because I'm on A11 beta currently.
I used .24 before beta and the battery life was the same as it is on beta now

Yes, is definitely worse than my previous ZenFone 6 despite the LCD screen. I hope the developers can fix this.
