I think that's carrier-specific. The SM-G998U1 doesn't have that setting.One of the first things I made sure was of was turning off Mobile Networks Diagnostics under Mobile Networks.

Coming from the S10 to the regular S21 I am noticing a huge difference in battery life. On the S10 it estimated almost 18hrs of battery life where the S21 is estimating only 10hrs. I notice the difference too. Just from light browsing I can see the battery percentage go down by 1% every other minute or so. Even after 2 years with the S10 my battery would last until 5 or 6pm.
Shouldn't I be getting better battery life with this display? I checked all settings and everything is set up the same as my old phone.
Another thing is the S21 doesn't charge nearly as fast as the S10 does.

The battery is bigger on the S21 so it is going to take longer. Browsing the web you should not see that 1% drop every minute. You got something setup bad on your phone if that is the case. I'd go through it and check all settings.
Yup, same here, SM-G998U1 using 120Hz, WQHD, 5G, AoD, location tracking, etc. After six days now, GSam says I'm averaging 22+ hours per charge, with 6+ hours of screen time. For me, that's the best battery life of any phone yet.With 120hz on, S21 Ultra, I am getting the same or battery life than Note 20 ultra with 120hz off.
Thats very good with everything ticked onYup, same here, SM-G998U1 using 120Hz, WQHD, 5G, AoD, location tracking, etc. After six days now, GSam says I'm averaging 22+ hours per charge, with 6+ hours of screen time. For me, that's the best battery life of any phone yet.
S21 on the right. S20 on the left. S20 is much better. Considering returning it......

If, as you say, "S21 on the right. S20 on the left ". Is not the S21 on the right the better device for battery life, at 2d 1h on a full charge?

That's GSam's extrapolation given how much charge is left when I put the phone on its charger for the night. Maximum actual screen time during a day has been a little over 5 hours.I've never seen 6 hours SOT from a phone. After mine settles in I'll start keeping an eye on it for comparison sake.
I've been using my S21 for 6 days now and the battery life estimate is now 21 hrs 45 mins on a full charge.
