Zwift on phone battery drain

Does Zwift use an inordinate amount of p toower on an Android phone? I have a pixel 3 and 100% battery lasts about 15 minutes of riding… Have nothing but Zwift running when I ride.

shouldn’t drain that much, is the battery life on the phone generally ok?

Yes, I generally get 8-10 hrs of usage in a daily basis. Zwift seems to drain about 30% every 5-7 mins[quote=“Chris_Holton, post:2, topic:546078, full:true”]

you should be able to get more than that.I have trid it on lots of different android devices and tend to get between 1.5 to 3 hours from a full charge depending on the phone/battery size.

It’s a drain for sure but mine will last more than 15 min but not long enough for a long ride.
I always use the power cord if I Zwift with my phone.
Companion app is fine on battery.

Zwift is a tremendous battery drain on any mobile device. I don’t think you can really use it without connecting power.
