Then why spend so much money on a flagship phone?, most mid range phones will give you the settings you've described at a fraction of the cost, while people keep setting their devices to power save mode ,lowest refresh rate etc then the manufacturers will keep ignoring ongoing issues with battery life etc.

While your experience has been bad, it does not mean every user and every use case is the same as yours.
Only you know your use case.

In 3rd party testing under similar conditions, Zenfone 8 does pretty good with its battery capacity and hardware makeup.
You are of course entitled to your own opinion and experience with the Zenfone 8 but please refrain from passing it on as everyone else's.

Sorry, @CH_ASUS , I must of missed something here as I never mentioned my experience with my handset in my reply, I simply stated that what is the point in buying a flagship phone if you run it as a mid range phone? please point me to where I used my own experience in this reply?, BTW I will totally understand if you feel you need to delete this reply!

This gsmarena review is the reason I created this topic.
I'm sitting close to my router so my wifi range is perfect, data and bluetooth turned off. 60 Hz everywhere. Advanced battey settings with all sliders to the left. 5G blocked. Always on Display off. App battery optimisation on for background apps. Adaptive battery. Dark theme everywhere. No vibrations on touch.
I watch movies offline from the storage. I get around 7h (8h tops). They say they get almost 16h ours on watching movies.
I call bs.
