Hilarious battery life

So, bought this phone as new a month ago.

Since I started using it, I noticed a considerable amount of battery drain due to 'phone idle', 'android OS', 'google services' ecc.

So, I tried bearing with it for a couple of weeks, to let him setting down a bit even though I was barely able to reach around 2.5hrs of SOT out of one complete charging.

At that point, I started reading all the threads about this problem, and of course I also tried all the possible solutions, ending eventually with a software repair through the companion app.

Event without any application installed, this pattern of battery draining hasn't stopped at all, and right now I am struggling to reach 2hrs of SOT.

It's more than obvious that there is significant problem within the software: using actively the phone does not affect significantly the battery charge, or at least not more that expected.

guys I'd like to have some suggestion 

what shoud I try?

[already tried: software repair, safe mode, wifi/blut.scanning, disabling mobile data and using just wifi(no difference at all), disabling all system apps, greenify]

It is such a shame! A part from that, the phone is great!

Both my Mum and I have X phones and this problem has been going on for months.  The culprit largely seems to be "Google play services" which according to battery meter uses anything between 10% and 35% between charges with no obvious reason for the large swing.  I've tried factory wipe, software repair, installing no additional apps, turning all radios off, turning auto sync off.  I always use location set to battery save with wifi and BT scanning off but I am about to try turning location off entirely.  Am at my wits end with this.

In my experience though the battery drains a lot more when the screen is on.
