I was gonna say "turns out adding a larger battery makes your device last longer, who knew!" but that discounts the fact that the OLED screen and smaller soc also help quite a bit.

If I remember right, the newer SoCs, especially on the newer Zen 3 core, are not that much more power efficient until they're being pushed to their limits. When the cpu isnt the bottleneck the two cores are similar.
