Plex app has higher battery consumption compared to ott apps

Plex Players Mobile Devices

Hi, never cared about battery usage until I began travelling and observed the battery usage. It’s clear that Plex is taking lot of battery for streaming when compared to apps like Disney, Prime, etc.
For example, approx 23% on above apps give 2 hour 30 min stream but Plex is consuming 20% in just 1 hour 15 min streaming.

Let me also know if I can change few settings on app to give a boost. Otherwise streaming outside for longer is not viable on Plex mobile. :confused:

Plex, please look into optimization of battery. Thank you.

Player Version#: v9.8.1.35118
Android: v12
Phone: Samsung and Motorola
Server: Own as well as friend
Streaming original quality (non-4K, 1080p mostly) on Plex and maximum quality provided on ott apps. Brightness were same during test.
Network: WiFi mainly, and sometimes mobile data.
