AT&T Galaxy S8 QHD+ or not?

Is there a consensus on whether going to QHD is a battery killer? I switched my yesterday and can definitely see a difference in the sharpness of text. But, I feel like my battery drained very fast after the switch. I'm still feeling out the battery and I'm sure it's still settling but mine was almost dead yesterday under 3 SOT with a lot of fiddling. Would love to know how much drain the QHD adds to this.

Thanks.

Didn't hurt too much for me.

Still keeping at the default since the screen looks great even at the default. I'll take the extra battery life I can get since I'm a little heavy user and also have the gear S3 connected. So any additional battery life is great. May try switching to full resolution over the weekend to test out and see.

I set it up QHD and I've been getting 7 hrs up to 8 hrs of SOT... battery is really that good.View attachment 257550

Holy crap, thought I'll not use QHD to save battery but once you flip that switch you can't go back to see full HD

Not sure how much difference there is, but on WQHD the screen is gorgeous.
