AC Question

I am unsure if my S8 Plus's battery is good. I've bought it for approximately less than one week. I've seen other people's S8 Plus's battery life going to 1-3 days. But mine can only go up to approximately 13 Hours. I have 'Always on Display' and 'Smart Alert.' I've turned off lots of battery consuming stuff already.

Lastly, my phone lost 1% of battery after 12 minutes of not charging. I have "Always On Display" on and I was playing around with settings for about 3 minutes. Is this normal?
 
Really depends on what you're doing with it in the 13 hours. What's your mix of screen time and standby time?
 
It also depends on the apps you have installed and use. Some apps can be real battery hogs, while others are better designed and are more efficient.
 
Sound below par. On my S8 with the smaller battery with AOD on mine drops to 1% every 35-40 minutes. I'm not massively happy with that vs. other phones but it is just about ok. I do have the BB hub installed, without that it stretched to an impressive 45-50 minutes :)

I'd expect the plus to be better.
 
20 minutes doesn't give a lot of info. Let it run for a day or two and please share the screenshots for a full change cycle.
