S10 (not S10+ or E) battery life

How are folks with the "regular" S10 doing on battery life so far?

Mine has been good so far, no complaints. AT&T regular S10, Always On Display is always on.

Decent. Was initially worried because it was no where near my Note 9 or OnePlus 6T. It's a little bit better than the regular S9 was. It'll get you through the day sometimes, other times you will need a refill.

All-in-all, after owning the Plus for all of one evening I decided the extra battery life wasn't worth how easy and elegant one-hand use felt and looked on the regular S10.

How you perceive battery life may depend a lot on which phone you're coming from.

You guys think keeping it at fhd kills less battery?

Having to power fewer pixels certainly has an impact, but I don't think it's major. I keep mine at the default FHD+.

Keep in mind that some Power Saving modes reduce the resolution, they wouldn't do that unless it has some kind of an impact. So that should answer your question.

Good point about perception. I'm coming from an HTC 10 with a dying battery that wouldn't last a half day. For the first couple days with this S10 I'm around 40% at bedtime. So, for me, this qualifies as miraculous.
