Battery performance is terrible on this phone. Only 2 hours of screen on time every day, constantly. A full charge from 0~100% is 1 hour 50 minutes with using the official 30W charging brick and the cable.

Sony phone's are not cheap. In fact, they are much more expensive than the iPhone's Pro Max models. I assume that PUBG doesn't care Sony phone users.
