Phone owned for less than a year

It really seems to drain it's battery quiclky. They put that amazing screen on it but put a 2600mhA battery in it? Havent really used the vr aftert the first day i was bored. All in all an good phone. all of the phone makers need to go back to not having hardwired batteries.
