S9 plus question

[Rumblee1]

With the price of the Galaxy S9 plus coming down I wish thinking of picking one up. The only thing I've read is that the battery isn't lasting very long can I have some input from S9 plus owners I'm not a heavy user but I would like it to go all day thank you

You should be able to go all day. Especially if your not a heavy user.
I'm some what a heavy user and if I'm not watching a lot of YouTube videos, I can go about 12hrs or so before charging my phone.

I had a s9+ great phone but a bit of a small battery..other wise .. can't complain..

I'm on a regular S9, but I get a good 20 to 24 hours on a charge. And, I'm always on my phone doing something. Even keep my AOD going between actual uses.

If you let the battery on any phone drop down near 0 before charging it, you'll start having problems with the battery in a month or two. On the other hand, if you charge it when it drops to 50% (or turn it off if it gets to 40$ and you still can't charge it) ... I had to replace my Note 3 battery after 4 years because it started bulging (a manufacturing defect), but at almost 7 years old, it's still running at about 98% of what it was when it was new. (It's never been discharged lower than 45%. It's just dangerous to leave a battery like that in the phone unless it's lying face down with the back cover off - in case the battery decides to pop.) My Pixel 2 battery, coming up on 2 years old, is still showing 100% efficiency.

But drop the battery down to 0% every time, and you'll have to replace it every month.

It's treatment, not the S9.

So your saying charge the battery when it gets to 40 to 50%

I thought lithium batteries goes by how many time u charge the phone. Therefore the more u more u charge phone, and over time it wont hold its charge as long. Meaning u have to charge it more often.

Dang. My battery must be toast.

S9+ from Verizon here. I am not a heavy user. I can basically go about 2 days or sometimes 1 1/2 days depending on how much I use my phone. I may watch a video or two but it's not an everyday thing I do. I never let my battery go below 20%. So at this point....I'm very happy with my battery life.

Something in the last update in October helped. I was getting around 16-18 hours at best prior to that.

But, I also go through every app I have, and turn off all background data, and background activity for every app that allows those settings to be changed (almost all of them do). I only leave a handful alone, like my email and text app.

Samsung has several battery saving modes to chose from, and they just basically do what I do, but in a blanket fashion. I want to control each app myself. I also set the screen resolution to HD+, the lowest setting. That is fine for me.

Get you a package disabler and turn all the bloatware and sammy stuff off and bixby. Helped me out a lot. I have no complaints about battery life. Seems rather good actually. Got the phone earlier this year on Amazon Prime Day.

OMG, So tired of the how long does your battery last threads. They all average within an hour or so of each other. Nuff said.
