iPhone 5s battery percentage increases after restart

Good day! Today when I woke up my iPhone 5s battery life was at 61% and after a couple of minutes I had to restart my iPhone. After restart, my battery percentage went up at 81%. I also noticed a batter drain issue as well some microphone issues. I think those are all software problems since after I restart the iPhone everything works smooth and well. Are those software problems related to the new iOS 10.1 or I should send my iPhone 5s towards Apple for warranty? Here where I live they don't have Genius testing, only ''Send back to repair'' option 😟. Any tips / help is much appreciated. Have a great day !

iPhone 5s, iOS 10.1.1

Hello FlorinGrad,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I understand from your post that your iPhone battery percentage is jumping dramatically up and down along with issues with your microphone. In a situation like this checking to see what is using the battery most and adjusting the settings may help.

Regarding the microphone issue, I recommend the steps from the article below:

If adjusting the settings does not resolve the issue, then I would recommend creating a backup file and restoring your iPhone. Once restored set your iPhone up as new to test it. If the issues are resolved then you can restore your backup file. If the issue is not resolved after restoring your iPhone and setting it up as new, then there may be a hardware issue. The following articles will provide you with the steps to backup, restore and set up as new, and restore your backup file:
