Hey guys.
I just moved from an Ultra to an S20 Plus. Battery on the Ultra wasn't great but ok. I'd read that despite the smaller cell size, the Plus had a decent battery because it was proportionally powering a smaller screen.
In fact, some reviews like ZDnet said it was actually better.. even in 120Hz mode.
I set mine up using smart switch from my Ultra the other day and I can't say I'm impressed. Yesterday was my first full day of using it and it wasn't a heavy day by any standard.. it came off the charger at 8am and was dead by 10. Completely flat.
Screen on time of about three hours and no obvious apps draining the battery.
Yes, this is in 120 Hz mode and I know that is a bigger battery hog but this does seem excessive.
I take it off charge and it's down from 100% to 99% in a few seconds (I gather that's a normal Samsung trait compared to the iPhone which stays at 100% usually for a good 15 mins).
But I was down from 100 to 94% in about ten to fifteen mins this morning just from checking my notifications, Facebook etc.. no real heavy lifting.
Attached is this morning's usage for what it's worth.
Is this normal and it's anybody else experiencing this? A phone that only lasts 12 hours with the screen barely being used isn't going to work for me.. I don't want to have to throttle it by turning the screen refresh rate down just to keep it going because that negates the point of having it in the first place.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thanks all.
