Despite having 2525 mAh power, it also provides enough time to stay alive the device. But, what we are discussing is the sudden battery drain of the OnePlus X.

Have you any idea when the sudden battery drain occurs generally? There are many reasons behind this issue. And, alongside it, there is also a solution for every reason.

Micro SD card Issue
