Definitely something wrong with power management and with Location ON the GPS/GLONASS chip seems to be all the time on. With current battery performance I can't think of using this as my primary phone.
Testing continues with conditions changed:
- Developer mode off
- WiFi off

0:00 18:55 battery 100 %, test has started, USB cable unplugged
0:36 19:31 battery 100 %
0:46 19:41 battery 99 %
1:17 20:12 battery 98 %
2:35 21:30 battery 95 %

9:57 04:52 battery 80 %
15:20 10:15 battery 74 %
15:38 10:33 battery 72 %,
25:11 20:06 battery 53 %

53:34 Projected battery charge level 0 %

I don't know if it was disabling of developer mode or WiFi that improved battery consumption so much, but need to test. Next to enable WiFi back ON and continue testing.
