Battery life

Hello! I recently bought a Z1 Compact, but the battery life seems to be a bit worse than I've heard it should be. My phone says the estimated battery life is 23 hrs without stamina mode with brightness set to auto etc. Is this the normal battery life of have I received a copy with a worse battery?
Thanks in beforehand, Kriss

Normally,a new device will need some time until the battery will behave normally. It will learn your usage pattern. Try to charge it for about 2 weeks normally (don't let it discharge completely) and see how it is.

It also depends on your usage. When you have a lot of apps running in the background (like messenger services, or location services), it's normal that your battery takes a hit.
