I've recently purchased a new phone, but I'm still using my old one occasionally. Ever since I got the new phone, I've noticed my old phone's battery drains much faster than before. I can charge it to 100%, leave it for two days without touching it, and it will drop to 1%. Is this normal, or is something wrong with my old phone?

You might want to check the battery settings. In your phone's settings, there should be a battery page where you can see which apps are using the most energy. Sometimes, an app can unexpectedly drain the battery way quicker than normal.
Have you tried putting your phone in airplane mode? I’ve noticed that when my phone doesn't have a signal, it drains battery trying to look for one. If you're not on a mobile plan, that could also lead to faster depletion. Just a thought!
What kind of phone do you have? Sometimes certain models can behave differently based on software updates or changes that occur with newer devices. Also, where are you located? Power efficiency can vary by region.
It's a Samsung M21s.
No, it’s not in airplane mode. It’s actually in energy-saving mode. Since I posted this, the battery dropped from 24% to 14% without me even using it! This is definitely not how it behaved before I got the new phone.
