So what kind of battery life are people getting with their S21U?

I have found it to be insane... the battery life is definitely better than my old Note 10 plus. Then again, just about anything is. Whats even more insane is how I keep everything pretty much at all full brightness, with 120hz refresh rate enabled at QHD and I still get awesome battery life. I certainly hope this doesn't change after the Android 13 update.

These are some screen shots of my SOT lately. And while typing this, I still have around 36% battery left at around 5 hours and 15 mins of SOT.

If that phone is over a year+ old and you are getting that battery life this is nothing to sniff at.

Very true. I'm afraid to see it after I get the Android 13 update.

Here is another impressive day recently.

My S21 Ultra will be two years old in two months. It is still on the original battery and I get around 3 days out of a single charge.

That's because your screen on time is less than one hour. So yes, certainly you would get that kind of battery life lol

This phone is crazy with the battery life. I get a full day and then some depending, but I do tend to use my phone to watch vids as I work from home during the day. I usually charge overnight to have a full day. While driving, I'm using a wireless charging car mount. I don't top off during the day so much anymore since I'm home, so yeah, I'm very satisfied with it, especially during heavy use like recording my daughter's sporting events.

Well, I don't normally use my phone to surf the internet, play games, etc. For those types of thing I prefer to use something that has a larger display than the one on my phone.

I'm getting fantastic battery life. I use mu S21 ULTRA on a moderate to heavy use watching about an hour give or take of videos, and texting and more. I've never gone below 68%.
