My phone's battery is draining rapidly—around 7% every 10 minutes! When it hits 40%, it just shuts off. It's a Realme C25s that I bought in 2021, and it feels like my charger is the only thing keeping it alive. Should I just buy a new phone?

Consider getting a new battery. That could extend the life of the phone without the cost of a new one.
Check your battery usage stats in the settings. It might show which apps are draining the most power.
Honestly, I wouldn’t invest in a new battery for a phone that's around five years old. It's probably better to just get a new phone instead. You can find decent options like a Moto G for less than $125!
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Sorry if I wasn't clear—I meant replacing the whole phone.
If you’re looking for alternatives, you could also snag a refurbished S22 for similar money, and it’s a solid upgrade!
I found out TikTok is using 10.58% and YouTube is at 6.37%. The rest are all under 1%.
