Ya. Like I said I haven’t used a phone with an exynos processor since my Galaxy S6 Edge+. They could’ve very well improved power consumption since then. Snapdragon processors have usually had pretty good power efficiency but with all of the people saying that they’re having horrible battery drain and people saying their phone is perfect seems to point towards QA issues. It’s really just like winning the lottery when it comes to wether you are going to get a phone with horrible battery drain or one that’s perfectly normal. I’m getting my Note 9 here soon coming from an iPhone X. I’m so excited to finally get away from Apple’s ecosystem but my only concern is wether it’s going to have this draining issue or if I’m going to get lucky
That is exactly how I felt after I got my phone repaired. Before I cracked the screen I was in the minority of people getting good battery life, and didn't want to lose that over an unauthorized modification.
For whatever reason they changed the battery as well on top of fixing the screen. I almost cussed them out lol. But after a full cycle the battery has been performing better than the last.
Even on my roughest days, I was able to pull a full 24 hours. For the people who aren't there is definitely a defect. But based on location it can be tough getting to a Samsung Experience Store where they can run a diagnostic.
When I was on the Note 4 I definitely had battery envy because at the time people were reporting 8+ hours with 24 hours of standby, and I was only getting 3 if I was lucky under a full day. I only got over 4 hours after rooting and compromising features. It was very annoying.
Probably some fault with the processor and power management. Had a Snapdragon 805.
