s8 & s8+ battery comparison

[Dubzgb]

Pretty amazing performance by both devices but the s8+ is the battery stud between the two

Too bad it's exynos.

Last gen the exynos was massively better on battery over the snap dragon. Super bigly.

Galaxy S7: Exynos vs Snapdragon performance and battery life comparison | Mobile Fun Blog

Galaxy S7 battery life with Exynos CPU vastly superior to Snapdragon flavor, here's the proof

Too bad it's exynos.

"However, both phones also have a more efficient 10nm processor: the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835, or -- depending on your country and carrier -- a new Samsung Exynos. Qualcomm claims its chip will use up to 25 percent less power than last gen, which may offset the battery life impact of Samsung's screens."

Does he say there the exynos version? I guess I didn't catch that part. Either way I've heard nothing but good things about battery life

In a couple of days I'll be able to do my own battery test with the 835.

Ikr!! I can't wait to play with this phone and go show it off to all the iPhone drones at my work

Yeah, Samsung has become a "Status Symbol" and sometimes it feels good knowing that you have the latest and greatest.

Thanks for the video @Dubzgb. Good to see that the battery on the S8+ holds its ground nicely Was a little worried that it wouldnt be large enough but those doubts are now gone. 6+ SOT is fantastic.

 

[Channan]

I love this video. It proves that the bigger battery is not really a reason to get the bigger phone as it doesn't last much longer. Get the S8+ if you want a bigger screen, but don't compromise not having a compact phone for a bigger battery.

 

[Dubzgb]

Yeah it looks like both devices have great battery optimization. This video also confirms some very very good results!

Okay, so Samsung customers are not drones.

Does it really do that much damage to the battery life to plug it in all night?

 

[donm527]

Charging is designed to stop when it hits full charge. So you won't be overcharging. At worst if left on plug the charger will act like a trickle charger and keep topping off if the phone were to drain on the charger. So there is no real 'damage' to the phone by leaving it on the charger, or to charge to 100% all the time, or to even use fast charging that could generate more heat in fast charging over normal charging rate.

The concern is the long term effect of the battery and people argue in doing those things you shorten the lifespan of the battery or the ability for the battery to charge to max capacity or to hold charge and not drain faster.

I've read recently/viewed someone saying the best way to preserve and extend the life of you battery is to never let the battery drain below 20% and avoid charging past 80% full. That was the determined "sweet spot" for best battery life avoiding full drain and full charge which they said is what causes the most wear.

In the end do what you feel best and what works for you. I'd probably try to avoid full drains, but I'll probably charge to 100% most of the time and probably keep it on the charger when i go to sleep at nights.

Yea, 80% wouldn't get me through most of my days.... I reality by doing this you are reducing your battery by 20% every day...LOL

I call that bull. I've had a phone for two years and the battery is great. No need to micromanage

 

[donm527]

That's why I say do what you feel comfortable. I have nothing to back it up but I try not to drain to 0% but have no problem charging to 100.

Lol, I love my Galaxy phones I'll admit to that, but a couple of guys I work with swear the ip7+ is the best looking phone with the best screen, etc, etc.. I mean c'mon man..Really? Either way to each their own but I wouldn't consider myself a drone. If the pixel didn't look like an iPhone I'd probably be rocking that right now instead of samsung

Best looking phone is subjective but best screen, that can be measured. iPhones don't have the best screens. Fact.
