120hz Quad HD

Rough estimate my battery consumption is up between 10-15% with this mod. I'm generally near a charger so not a big issue, but I could see turning it off during a day trip to the beach for instance.

I haven't really noticed any difference, but as you say; I'm always near a charger too if there was an issue.

That was my initial thought that battery would possibly take a hit.

10-15% sounds about right. The main issue Was the issue that the Exynos chipset didn’t have the ability.

Just for added information. My resolution and refresh rate settings did stay the same through an auto restart. So I've been on this mod for almost a week now.

How is battery usage holding up?

How is battery usage holding up?

I leave work not much different than before I did this mod. It's good for me, and I have enhanced processing on. Samsung should've made this option available. It's the buyer's right to make that choice. I still manage very good screen on time. Around 7 or 8 hours.

My battery also did better last night, maybe it had to settle. Either way, I agree the trade off is worth it and customer should have the option. Samsung probably didn't want to build two versions of the UI for Snapdragon vs Exynos since Exynos couldn't handle 120 HZ at QHD.

Maybe that is the difference? I have a Snapdragon device.

Mine is Snapdragon, though.

That's what I'm saying. So do I, and I see no noticeable decrease in battery life.
