This is my battery usage for MI Note 4.
Unable to understand what is taking up soo much battery consumption specially when I am on *data* and on *wifi*

Battery depletes like more then 40% in 1 hour, while playing a small game Ball Blast from VOODO (com.nomonkeys.ballblast)

Even battery charging becomes slow when connected to data/wifi.
Done battery calibration twice this week no gains.

Check attachments please.

mostly it's your 4g network with data on. for wifi it should not be an issue. try to upgrade to latest patch of mi if already not done.

I am on latest.. unrooted mobile..
Both wifi/data consume lot of battery (on wifi it consumes very little less, then on data on).
Did a clean reformat from recovery menu too,.

Can this be a possible reason ?

check the on screen time and apps consuming the most battery. I suspect the apps sending data in background are the issue. their can also be an issue with the battery itself. panel can also be an issue but their is no such thing that a panel of a size and resolution will drastically increase in power consumsion just because its an replica. you can also do one thing if the device don't have any banking app, try installing custom rom and observe the battery behaviour. it will give you a good indicator. if software is not an issue then hardware needs to be checked. take a backup before installing custom rom so that you can revert back to orginial os with data when required.

I assume there are background apps take more resources..
Facebook - Logged out of same from mobile, uninstalled Messenger from FB.. (rarely use messenger).
Todoist a task list manager - consumes maximum battery for sure., runs on desktop too.
WhatsApp - Keep this on on desktop as well.
Notifications are enabled for few apps like reddit, outlook, gmail etc.

After logoff from fb battery optimized a little. will keep updated, as I get more details with r and d.

that replacement screen is definitely the problem. I just checked my phone, screen-on time is 8hrs 45mins yet screen only used 6.68% of battery (redmi k20 pro)

Actually, battery depletion becomes a problem when you tend to use too many heavy apps that demand a lot of your battery. Also, your smartphone has a 14nm Snapdragon chipset that is again one of the major reasons why people lose a lot of battery when playing games etc. As of now, there are 7nm 5G chipset in market, like Dimensity 800U in Oppo F19 Pro+ and these chipsets are designed to save battery. However, 7nm chipsets are never a guarantee of saving battery. One of my friends uses a smartphone with Snapdragon 865 chipset and his smartphone too demands a lot of battery. So it is better to look at the optimization of a smartphone before buying it. And if you have some apps that get started automatically, you can uninstall them. Especially the apps which promise your smartphone's safety. These anti-virus apps do not only steal data but also use a lot of battery.
