Battery Life discussion thread.

Close to little over 5 hrs with 22% battery still left. Probably could go another hour. I would say that's inline with what I get on some other devices plus or minus either side.

Also, I don't read too much into what others are getting since my setup, apps, network, settings and million other things are different. I generally compare to my other and previous phones for my reference. I will be able to get thru the day on this phone with normal or above average usage without disabling any apps or turning off features, which is all I care on any phone. Also I don't turn on battery percentage since that takes out most of the battery anxiety, been doing that for few years now and stopped having battery anxiety with that simple move

@Ruben Ocasio That's incredible! I would really like to know how you achieved that lol. I turned off my 5G and I think it's helping a little now. Need to find what else could be draining my battery. Is google play services suppose to be this high?

After a week I'm good with the battery life. I don't think it's as good as the N10+ though. I used to get 8-9+ hrs on that.
 
Very early days for me just yet.
Received the phone Monday 24th direct from Samsung UK.

I have the Exynos N20 Ultra in the Uk.
120Hz adaptive refresh rate is On.
Dark Mode.
Brightness around half way.
Battery on Optomise setting but not adaptive.
Screen time out 2 minutes.
I don't have lots of apps as I only use a select few to be honest.
Any google apps / services I remove or disable especially Google Chrome.
5G turned Off as I can't use it anyway with my Carrier.
Installed back up from Samsung Cloud and Apps from Playstore My Library.
I have put some apps to sleep and some to deep sleep which is what i did also on my N10+ 5G. Habit really !!

I use a burner sim card at first when setting up my new phone's and keep my previous phone as my daily driver while I'm taking my time tweaking my new phone's settings and preferences.

I've read a few posts from people who said they could see the battery % drop even when not doing anything on the phone.

So I charged the phone to 100% and left it sat there with mobile data , Bluetooth, nfc On and WiFi Off.

From 05:30 to 18:00 it went from 100% to 96% which I think is reasonable as notifications and background activity is still happening.

I give my phones around 10 days to fully learn and optimise.

Charging and discharging the battery will help the battery reach optimum output.

Stay safe.

This is exactly what I'm doing this time around but I'll probably not put the sim in for another week or so.

Google Play Services shouldn't be high imo.

Maybe 2 to 3%

Every phone is different as we all set them up differently.

If you google for info on battery drain and Google Play Services it points towards sync issues and Google apps and services communicating too often or something like that.

Personally I disable all I can in regards to Google apps / services and Google Chrome.

Stay Safe.

This is probably why I can hammer this Huawei Mate XS and still get excellent battery!
 
I don't have Nova Launcher myself I was replying to the previous poster who posted their battery stats and nova is 7.1% which looked heavy to me.
I did notice my Nova was high and I have no idea why. I was fiddling with the settings at one point yesterday, but I didn't think that would cause the usage to be so high.
 
No issues again. Got 5 hours screen time yesterday off charge at 7.30am and by midnight was still on 6%

For me that’s fine. I don’t get How people have the time to be on their phones for 6-8 hours of screen time

My test today will be switch WiFi off at work and use 4G only to see the battery life differences
 
You could set all the changes you want to have set during working hours as a Bixby Routine, that way you can just tell Bixby you are at work and it will be done for you :-)

The issue is that people are getting half of your 6 or 8 hours. Not that they are getting 6-8 hours and complaining.
 
I will have to send a screen shot tomorrow or something but I'm getting pretty decent battery. E everything is on defaults and I've just removed the bloat and games. I took the phone off my wireless charger last night at 9pm woke up around 7 am and it was ON95% I went to work and had the directv app running for 5 hours and I was only on 69%. Thats impressive. Even the 1ST day I had it I only used a little but of battery. I'm using dark mode in some app just bc I like it but system settings is sunrise to sunset.

Using SD on Verizon fyi.

May I ask what "bloat" did you remove ?
 
Disabled 5G and my phone battery is noticeably better. Its getting close to where my Note 10+ was at! I recommend disabling it for now!

Good to know. I live in an area with zero service so I setup Bixby Routines to turn off mobile data all together while at home and turn back on when I leave.
