Galaxy Tab S8 Battery Concern

[am123]

Hi, I was wondering what the normal battery life is for a new Tab S8. I've had mine for 5 days, have used it sparingly, and according to the settings, a full charge will last only 10 hours. I even power off every night or when not in use. My cousin bought the same model at the same time and she's been using it extensively for uni and for her it says a full charge will last 2 days and 16 hrs???

Anyone know what's up? Should I request for a replacement? Or should I just wait?
