Sad to say but the AI features does reduce screen on time. Mine went down from 10-12hrs to ~6hrs. I used to only recharge after 2.5days, but now I need to recharge after 1.75 days

Nothing ground breaking. Most AI feature one is going to use after 15-20 days; is about camera. And one is writing style. 3rd is circle to search. Battery life is not impacted. AI generated wall papers are not out of blue. If you are...
