Why is Mobile data taking so much battery?

So I have a 4g and a 3g sim. About 80%+ to even 90% of this time was used by the 3G sim card using data.

 

I forced 3g in the sim settings instead of 5G.

 

Am i missing something?

Its weird it shows mobile network as an app. Do you have an app by that name? If yes, delete.

For an overly simplified explanation, in mobile data, phone works hard on communicating with the nearest cell tower for transmit and request data

While in WIFI, it's router's job to do the heavy lifting job (doesn't matter if the router is using LTE or Fiber connection)

Which is why when phone connected to WIFI connection, phone's battery doesn't get drained a lot

My System: Ryzen 7800X3D // Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX // 32GB 6000MHz DDR5 Silicon Power Zenith CL30 // Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT OC with mod heatsink on the metal plate  // Phanteks P300A  // Gigabyte Aorus GEN4 7300 PCIE 4.0 NVME // Kingston NV2 Gen4 PCIE 4.0 NVME // 

Seasonic Focus GX-850 Fully Modular // Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 Black V3 // Phanteks M25 140mm // Display: Bezel 32MD845 V2 QHD // Keychron K8 Pro (Mod: Gateron black box ink; Tape mode on PCB and Keycaps) // Razer Cobra Wired Mouse // Audio Technica M50X Headphone // Sennheiser HD 650 // Genius SP-HF180 USB Speaker //

 

And Laptop Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45 for mobility

Phone:

iPhone 11 (with battery replaced instead of buying new phone for long term and not submitting (fully) to Apple Lord
