All Day Battery Life

[boltsbearsjosh]

So let me ask you guys, what's your real expectations for this battery? This is probably one of the biggest selling features to me. I have been waiting I feel like an eternity for a battery that can actually last a full day with moderate to heavy usage.

You think this is gonna hold up?

This all really depends on your usage and apps.

Coming from a Note8, this sort of spec bump in battery could really mean a full on 24hours without charging, but we'll see.

The Snapdragon845 is good but not great at efficiency and the same goes for the Exynos9810, both are incredibly powerful chips, but are average at power efficiency from what I have seen, this is going by the S8+ vs. S9+ battery tests I have seen, as both have 3500mAh batteries.

How much you use that BT SPen will also be a factor.

I say lets wait and see the GSMArena, PhoneArena and AnandTech Battery tests, all 3 of those together can give you a great idea of where the Note9 stands.

We can use the Galaxy S9+ as reference for now, it did a good job, not the best, but a good job with its 3500mAh battery, so the extra 500mAh in the Note9 should push it quite a bit further.

One thing is for certain, it will beat the Note8.

My S9+ lasts pretty much the whole day for me, I mean I really have to push it to drain it before I'm in bed. Pretty excited about the battery size for Note 9

if I can get at least 18 hours with heavy use without charging I'd be good.

This has always been the thing that matters the least to me for whatever reason. I have wireless pads pretty much everywhere.. my desk at work, my coffee table at home, my girlfriend's house and a charger in the car. I usually put it on the pad by default regardless of what the current charge is just by habit.

I can tell you my p20 pro and its 4000 battery is almost imposible to kill... up at 4AM with light usage and at 5:30 AM im still at 100% or 99%.. my wife s8+ is down to 96% with no use..( yes i checked)

goodbye p20 pro and hello note 9!

I just need it to last 6-12 hours taking continuous hd video and using the flash when taking photos. I travel a lot and love concerts so I'm always using the camera and it never seems to last as long as I need it to.

6 hours maybe. 12? no way

I'm cool with a minimum of 6. Can fast charge after that.

 

[bassplayrguy]

I had the mate 10 pro with 4000mah battery and it takes forever to drain even with heavy usage.

For the record, there is no possible way for you to know this.

There are published reports of the phone running for 25 hours at full bright only doing video. (all other features off).

In addition... battery life is a highly personal thing. No 2 devices, with no 2 different users will possibly have the same experience. Every app, every situation, every cell tower, every text message, every accessory (like watch, fitbit, etc) will be a variable that changes YOUR experience different than everyone elses.

$999 for Quick Charge 2.0? Is Samsung mentally ill? It's 2018 and they spend their time designing a "water cooled" system instead of trying to make this device QC 3.0 or QC 4 compatible?

If this isn't a joke, it's obvious Samsung can't pass their thermal engineering classes at all. Pathetic.

 

[Mr Segundus]

I'm skeptical with the "all day battery life" claims, especially with the 8GB RAM version. I bet I'll be able to get a full work day, but I'm sure I'll have to top it off at dinner time.

The Note 2 was the last phone I owned that didn't last all day for me, I would probably get 2 days battery life with this.

This! I don't understand why Samsung have stuck with a charging standard that is a lot slower than the Google Pixel 2 USB-C PD and the One Plus Dash Charge. They've offered Quick Charge 2.0 since the S7 I think? I have a Pixel 2 XL and am moving primarily because of the awful screen, but I will miss the rapid charging!

With a 4000 batter quick quickest charging means a tad less... my p20 pro with its 4000 battery mostly charges at night. it rocks all day with ease.

I mean the phone doesn't really take that long to charge anyways. Its fully charged in about 2 hours. Unless you gonna be late for work I usually just charge overnight and wake up with my phone ready to go.

Fingers crossed this is my experience then. I often run down my Pixel 2 XL to around 75% before I even get into the office (mostly Netflix on the morning commute). It gets down to ~40% before I leave the office and I often don't notice it until I'm about half an hour away from leaving the office - 30 minutes is enough to give a significant boost on USB-C PD. I guess I just suffer from low battery anxiety!

That would be from 100% to 0% (or more), probably. Great for "time between charges", not so good for "time between battery replacements". Lithium batteries were chosen for weight (it's the second lightest metal, and you really don'r want to carry a freezer around with you to keep hydrogen solid), but definitely not for their ability to keep withstanding deep discharges. 40% and charge, if you want the battery to last. (And don't charge above 80% if you want it to really last.)

That doesn't really matter to me since I don't keep a phone for more than a year. Plus my s9+ easily lasts a day of "heavy use". And with quick charge, even if it is just 2.0, it doesn't take long to give yourself a few more hours of use.
