But that's a wrong thesis

Not only when a battery discharges when idle that it is a problem. Even when a battery doesn't last up to its normal battery life then its also a problem.
The essence is that there is no "normal" battery life.... Get the maximum power rating of your device and work that against the typical rating of your battery and you'll see it falls far below the "normal" life....
Also bear in mind that as your device ages (months not years), the thermal ratings of components degrade and battery life suffers, also the battery becomes less efficient as more charge cycles accumulate.

Once again you have indulged in using demeaning statements. You charged from 0 to 100. Which should last at least 48hrs for a 4k mah battery under low usage. And under heavy usage you should get at least 12 hours. You are now saying by 3 or 4pm is that normal. The complainants didn't move nor bathe nor eat. Its 9hours a battery of 4k will last you for? Bro don't justify abnormalities abeg. No one is dumb
Heavy usage is relative.... if I connected a high-speed usb flash drive to my phone (OTG) and streamed movies off of it.... That's extra power going to power the drive and read content off of it...... contrast this to if I were just watching off of my internal storage, vs streaming over wifi, vs streaming over LTE, vs streaming over 3G, vs varying levels of brightness.

Or if my phone was just playing music via headphones(wired), vs wireless headphones

Then consider the thermal conductivity of the phone's internals, bearing in mind that even two units of the same device are not 100% the same.

Battery usage is very relative and cannot be categorized absolutely. That's why manufacturers always talk about typical usage...... Typical is in itself a relative term. And there's nothing typical about the real world.

GM bro

I knew that's what I was trying to being out. The fact that charging a big battery twice in a day is unusual. If I had come out plain there will have insinuated that I have come again
Charging a big battery is however normal If you subject your device to atypical usage........ Locked in 4-6 hours of gaming (PUBG/Asphalt) and more hours of web surfing and movies, definitely have to charge after 7-8 hours of uptime.

It only becomes a problem when a battery discharges considerably when it is idle

Where can I buy the Note 8 and I heard it overheats. How true is this?
Hearing It overheats doesn't mean that every unit overheats.

Generally, mass produced commodities would have units with very visible flaws (for instance, a phone chassis without a camera cut out) that are immediately caught and rejected by QC, and other units with salient flaws (sub-par NAND chips, etc) that could escape QC scrutiny. This doesn't mean that a particular problem is replicated across the entirety of a batch (If that happens, then that entire batch is recalled).

The RN8 is a solid mid-range phone and the cases of units overheating are isolated and not commonplace.

Also...... a person who's been gaming for 3 hours straight could be saying their phone is overheating which is a realistic effect of tasking the processor and display for extended periods of time.

Finally.... The iPhone 6 had a failure rate of around 26% and the iPhone 7 had a failure rate of around 7%
The Redmi 4 had a failure rate of around 9% and the Redmi Y1 had a failure rate of around 2%

in every mass production you can't have 100% efficiency
