Note 9 one year later

[gray2018]

Hello all. I have had the Note 9 for a year now. It is still a good device, but I feel like my battery life isn't quite as good as it used to be. It's not awful though. This somewhat in particular makes me what to upgrade to a different device, but at the same time I don't want to as my device works perfectly fine and it is paid off.

Any suggestions or anything I can do to remedy this? Are there certain charges besides Samsung that will possibly charge my phone any faster at all? I think I saw an 18 watt charger on amazon from like Spigen or Anker or something like that. I wonder if it would help improve charging speed at all.

Ubreakitifixit... I got new batteries installed in my Note 9, last one two months ago, Note 9 running fine, and so is the battery.

You could also use a medium power save mode , just going have little delay in notification but should help .

Installing a new battery I'm pretty sure would remove the IP rating from the phone and I'm not willing to do that. Especially when the battery life is still decent and nowhere near awful yet.

I generally get up at 415AM, when I get home from work shortly after 2PM, I generally top up the device as it is on 50-60% by that time. Sometimes less. Before I could go the whole day. But, I think I may have also become a more heavy user since then.

Ubreakitifixit is authorized Samsung phone repair shop so you should be able to keep water resistant if replaced by them .

I called them. Yes, I may have to do this. It's only 60 dollars to replace the battery through them and keep my water resistance.
