Li-po batteries have a health cycle of 700 charges at most after which they lose capacity. No software update is going to increase the wear and tear of the battery. I have a Poco f1 whose battery lasts for 2 hours sot after 4 years of use, and it didn't receive any software updates for ages. So stop spreading conspiracy theories. Update your software for security reasons. When the battery doesn't last like before, change it. Simple as that.

    I'm using poco f2 pro, after my 3 yr old redmi note 4 spoilt. The phone is in its second year, and I've neither experienced the charging problem, nor am I having a slow charging or quick discharge, and I'm in the latest update. I don't think it's a general problem

      Chaotic1981, 09 Mar 2023Have you ever stopped to consider that the battery has lost... moreNo. It's not loss of battery capacity through natural wear and tear. It's intentional manipulation by Xiaomi's MIUI software. All Xiaomi phones I've previously and currently owned get 'killer' updates as the phone approaches 2 years. One of three things usually happen: The Xiaomi phone suspiciously charges very slowly, the battery suddenly drains unusually very fast (and will do the same even if you have the battery replaced), or the fingerprint scanner mysteriously fails. The Xiaomi phones that you don't update don't experience any of those. They gradually lose battery capacity which only become noticeable on the 5th year.

Name me one phone you had with the battery still going like day 1. It doesn't exist. Batteries are spare parts. Change it and will last more.

Miui anti-rollback feature makes it impossible. So the only way to solve the slow charging problem is to avoid installing the software updates. Once installed, it's time to buy a new phone or just tolerate the slow charging.

I have seen worse but definitely Xiaomi smartphone is not the worse. The rest is up to choices, and also luck.

                I had the same issue after less than a year I've bought it.
                I decided to order flex cable and usb board. Changed both and it fixed it. It's almost 2years since then and all is good. Everything works fine.

I had update... moreYes, don't update regardless of what Xiaomi pushes if your Xiaomi phone is approaching 2 years old. Have had several Xiaomi phones exhibiting slow battery charging or rapid battery drain or both when they are updated on the second year from date of release.

                          At first, I thought it was just coincidence because the Xiaomi phone is 2 years old. But I've owned 12+ Xiaomi phones in the past including this last one (Poco F2 Pro), and have noticed a clear pattern. On the last few updates, battery mysteriously drains very fast or phone suddenly charges very slow. It's like Apple intentionally slowing down old iPhones so you upgrade to a newer model.

                          With Xiaomi phones, it's slowing the charging speed and increasing the battery drain. My advice is to NEVER update your Xiaomi phone when it is approaching 2 years old. BEWARE OF THE LAST FEW UPDATES for your old Xiaomi phone. They are meant to slow down the charging or rapidly drain the battery or both. That's planned obsolescence Xiaomi style.

                            It's really not clear to me that the Poco F2pro Global doesn't get Android 13 and the Redmi K30 pro gets it, and they are exactly the same phones, I've had this Poco for the third year, so far I haven't had any problems with the USB type C charging slot, but I notice that the battery drains 1-2 % per hour without using a mobile phone. In the settings, I set Battery saving and turned off all unnecessary applications that were running, but when I restart the phone, they turn on by themselves in the memory. What to do .

Xiaomi released 16 bug fix updates YES, but majority of them without ever updating the security patch! My Poco F2 Pro NEVER HAD security updates monthly. Security updates were quarterly at best and 6-8 months at worst. There were no more security updates on the second year. That's how horrendous Xiaomi's security software updates and android software updates are. I repeat, anybody even remotely concerned about security of their phone banking and other online payment transactions should avoid ALL XIAOMI phones at all costs!

                                    And while it is a pain to use the China Weekly/Stable ROM out side of China or if you're not Chinese, the only other way to access the full features was to flash a Xiaomi.EU custom ROM which basically makes a more updated version of the Global ROM by building off of the China Stable/Weekly base.

                                      - 46 stable updates between 2020-03-24 and 2022-11-04.

                                      In addition there were other releases for Europe (this version is better adapted to the EU data privacy laws, highly recommended), as well as for Russia, Indonesia and Turkey.
