Please post all your battery life discussions, tips, tricks, habits, on screen times, etc here.
I hereby designate this the "Official" battery life discussion thread!
well when i picked it up it had 59 or 56% charge and went down to 8% in about oh 2 hours tops and this honestly had me a bit scared. When I put it on the charger I noticed plugged into my laptop or my truck usb port it took forever to charge and honestly would not charge fast enough if it was being used. When I put it on the charger it came with plugged into the wall it charged from 8%ish to 100% in easily 45 mins I let it charge over night and took it off the charger and its now been off for roughly 12 1/2 hours and down to about 56% battery life. So I am definitely satisfied with the battery life so far.
I do run ultimate juice defender and power saver mode. I tried out the ultimate power saver mode for a mere 15 seconds and quickly reverted back. Also I have weather set to auto update every 3 hours, email every 3 hours, facebook never, and anything else is at 6 hours.
To early to tell. Gotta give it a few days. But I can say that the phone seems to drop to the 50% mark easy, but then drops slower after that.
I'll post battery screen in a few days.
Here's a screenshot of my phone's battery life taken a couple of days ago. Highly impressive! Bear in mind mine is the Exynos Octa Core model.
Here's a screenshot of my phone's battery life taken a couple of days ago. Yes, I had the battery saving mode on but I was using the phone for large amount of time. Highly impressive! Bear in mind mine is the Exynos Octa Core model.
Charging mine to full right now and I will then let it run until it turns off then charge back up to full and see how it does.
Remember your number 1power consumer is your screen. Some tips I have
1 set the screen as low as you can and still see it
2 the more stuff you have on your homescreen the more the processor has to work to display it
3 if you can use art runtime do so, the davlic system is a just in time system witch means it only processes information as it gets it. The art runtime processes information ahead of time so in general terms it can process the same amount of information in a dynamic sense. The art runtime also will improve overall performance espically in games and intensive applications
4 keep as few processes and services running as possible
5 when able to use wifi do so. When using mobile data your phone constantly pings the towers near it. This constant process eats at the battery. By using wifi this cuts off your mobile data modules and dosent worry about data connections (except for your voice network, even using voip your voice system stays active, I guess its a tap left open for the phone companies)
Any other tips? I caint think of any
For rooted users
Undervolting always help. With the combined use of undervolting, using the art runtime, running an odexed rom, and using an interactive type scheduler and you can maintain decent performance (with decent hardware or better) and have great battery performance
Any update on battery life? GSM arena review updated battery endurance. Just want to get review from current users.
Going to run my battery to zero today and see how the results are. The software won't get an understanding of the battery capacity until it runs to zero to know exactly how much juice it has. Otherwise it is just guessing.

Trying to upload pic and it is not working for some reason.
Anyway, I'm coming from the Note 4 and battery life has essentially been identical for my first day.
I'm getting about 5 hours of screen on time and I have my Bluetooth on ALL DAY with my Gear S

Pretty much. Note edge's battery isn't as wide because it is a tad smaller

Any capacity left after that or pretty much empty?
Almost 6 hours on screen time with blue tooth on whole time and wifi.
Great for first full charge. I ran it until battery went to zero. Quick charge in 15 minutes with unit off was 25%.
Screen was set to Auto all day. And I did not have power saving mode on.

This is great very impressive battery life. I guess it will get better after few cycles.
not impressed…. so far.
I have had the phone since the 14th. I have had sporadic useage the first few days but yesterday I just decided to use the phone like I normally would. I got 14 hours BUT I had less than 3 hours screen time. That is horrid. I am reserving judgment until at least this sund. I will have had it at least a week and some days. I know the note 4 had an update immediately to addresses battery issues. I wonder will this happen for the edge. Will report back.
Note: I tried to attach battery screen shots but I get "invaid files". Dont know what thats about.

this has been my experience... i'll stick it on the charger it came with later. i was freaking out like.... "what's the deal here?"
So battery life is worse by a noticeable amount then the note 4? I have a note 4, thinking of getting the edge
So far mine seems to be about the same as my Note 2, with updates being done every hour (except weather updates to my gear watch, which is updated every half hour). So I am pretty happy with.

Hey guys
I've had my Sony Xperia Z3 for just over a year now and im considering my next phone purchase. I really enticed by purchasing a S6 Edge+ HOWEVER battery life is the only thing stopping me.
The Z3 battery life easily lasts for two days without me ever worrying about the battery life. I know Lollipop has a mobile radio bug in it which would effect the edge plus but im wondering would two days use ever be possible on the Edge+? I normally get around 6 hours SOT over two days with my Z3 and don't want to be let down too much with my next phone.
I have the same situation... just came from a Z3. Got my edge+ a week ago and, tbh, batt life is way worse, but I am starting to think that I have a faulty cellphone. I am getting around 10h of batt, even after debloating it and using Pixel OFF.
otoh, there are lots of threads running right now, discussing batt life and most people say that it is pretty good.
It's been 5 nights and I complsin it drains 1% per hour.

That´s exactly what I am getting. Are you using Pixel OFF?
Edit: sorry, wrong math. I am getting 10% an hour. I am getting 10h of batt per day on avg 1% an hour would be wonderland for me.
Hold on, I am talking about overnight drain, when phone is idle for 6 hours, screen off, only side clock, 4g wifi location sync on

Hmm so you basically only get a day's use of the phone on average?
It depends how I use it...
Can't tell as my usage is not regular
For sure not 10% per hour with a normal use
But I'm 90% debloated
i find it good, im not yet rooted but after i am whenever i can manage to actually do it i estimate it will be even better, but in general it's all about your usage, you'll definitely get a day out of medium/heavy usage.
do yourself a favor and buy a Aukey plus, ultra fast charging.

I also had Z3 and lasting morning to evening looks pretty much the same, on both i was getting around 5-6h SOT. But considering 2 days Z3 will also give around 5h+ SOT, but Edge+ idk maybe around 3-4h because of how much standby drains the battery.

I think the biggest idle killer is the mobile radio bug in lollipop, as there is no KK for the S6 Edge plus, looks like im going to stick with the Z3 for now till Marshmellow comes out.
I have more than 5 hours sot and almost 2 days without charging and 19% left. I''m very satisfied. Stock and root is pretty the same.
WhatsApp, candy crush, Internet, YouTube and more of that stuff. Imo no need to worry about battery.
2 days for me too. Wifi on all the time, Screen contrast automatic, Bluetouth off all the time (I don't use it for the moment), Some settings here and there I found in various articles (like smart network off, I use the RAM tools to automatically shot-down most of the apps...)
One day
One day ( 16 hours , By night battery down to 10 %)with normal usage. SOT around 5 hours.
BT off all time. 4g around 7 hours , Rest on Wifi.

Wow really? im shocked i havent read that was possible in any reviews i've seen. Could you provide screenshots of your battery stats? If two days is realistic and easy to achieve then i may possible jump to the Edge plus boat.
Mine wont even last 6 hours without draining. Bluetooth on, 4G on, backlight on auto. What's the point in having a high tech phone if you stunt it's features? I just charge at least twice or thrice a day but admittedly, I do miss the battery life of my last phone (iphone 6 plus) coz it really could last a whole day with the same features on.

the original charger isnt anywhere near as fast as charging as the Aukey is, even thge usb cable that came with the Aukey is better than the one that came with the phone.
I dont think i will ever see 2 days. I use Bluetooth all day (synced to my Gear S), GPS is always on, autobrightness, etc. I can get through one day for sure, maybe half of the next day, but thats about it. Thats not using any kind of powersaving modes either. Its as good, or better than my note 4 with NONE of the damn problems (camera and HORRIBLE GPS), so i'll take it. Plus i have quick chargers everywhere...home, car, and an extra one.
I was very nervous switching to a sealed battery and no SD card support, but the 64gb is fine and the battery charges SUPER f'in quick
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Google Pixel 3 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So 3rd day and these are my stats.
30% Wifi 70% LTE
Location when needed bluetooth off. AOD on pickup and new notifications only.
I am pretty consistently getting to 20% battery with 4 hours of screen time regardless of my usage. I'm mostly on wifi, probably 90% of the time.
I'm surprisingly getting an hour less than my pixel 2. It's around 5 hours.

The Pixel 3 has a 13% larger screen and 13% more pixels than the Pixel 2 with only an 8% bigger battery. Getting less battery life isn't a surprise at all.
What is a surprise is your claim that the Pixel 2 got 6 hours. With a 5" 1080p screen and only a 2700mAh battery I have a hard time believing anything more than about 4.5 hours.
Mix of Wi-Fi and walking around on LTE for a few hours outside
Its kinda bad. My brother cant get over 5 hours sot and the standby drain is really high. If he keeps it idle it drains alot.
I've had my Pixel 3 XL for roughly 7 days now and SOT have been consistent around 4:30 - 5:15 hrs going from 95 - 20 percent discharges before I recharge.
Not bad, but I have to admit that I was expecting something better like easily reaching 6+ hrs for normal usage.
My last hope is that boy "Adaptive Battery" if it would help after couple of weeks at learning curve.

Try turning off the Always ON display. It drains the battery a lot. Initially i was getting 5 hrs max on wifi. Now its a little stable and i am able to clock around 8hrs SOT with average use. On LTE, it will drop drastically to 5hrs maybe.

I've have pretty bad result being pretty much 95% on wifi with low app usage
I'm seeing mixed results with SoT on two separate Pixel 3s. On my SO's Pixel 3 its getting 8 hours while mine is only getting closer to 3-4 hrs and she is a heavier user than me usually. Seems to me that the information the adaptive battery has on usage matter a great deal on your battery life. I opted to start fresh on my Pixel 3 while she opted to transfer from an older Pixel.
Getting consistent 6-7 hours of SoT without ambient display, half WiFi, half data and some Bluetooth usage. Using amoled black or dark mode with many apps and an amoled themed wallpaper. This is at 90% brightness. Quite impressed.
getting 5/6h SOT
Screen brightness at about 75%, and nightmode at the end of the day.
Mix of WIFI/ LTE during day and Bluetooth in the car obviously.
So far impressed since the size of the battery is small compared to other devices.
My HTC u11+ was getting about 6h SOT with a much much larger battery capacity.
I'll be the first to admit I dont have much running in the background right now, but I'm still pleased. In case the links don't work -- 6 h 30 m screen on time. Phone charged 20 hours ago. (I'm not usually that heavy of a user, just wanted to see how it would fare in the real world. ) Mix of WiFi, LTE, bluetooth on about half the time.
How?
Use battery saving mode on time. I'm getting similar results. I accidently plugged in the charger at the last bit (thought I took the screenshot but I didn't) but you can see it only charged about 2%.
1 Hour of Screen on Time???
I just received my Pixel 3 3 days ago, and the battery is awful. 1 hour of Screen on time? Is this normal?
I was barely using any apps.

You're using ambient display, turn it off for a day which should resolve all your issues. Yes it means you'll have to wake up the phone in order to see whatever messages you may or may not have received. But it'll extend the battery time.

I was having bad battery life too and wanted to sell it for the OnePlus 6T. What I did was left on battery saver all day and it worked out pretty good. Try that for now and see how it works for you.

If you opted to start from scratch when you set up your Pixel 3 and did not transfer the data from a device that already has the adaptive battery feature getting about 1 hour of SoT seems to be normal based on my experience. I haven't been able to confirm this, but based on my experience the adaptive battery feature seems to use machine learning. It learns what apps you use over time and how often you use them. The more data it has, the better the battery life you will get. It took about 3 weeks for my battery to settle down. Currently, my battery is estimated to last about 17 hours from a full charge. My suspicion is that the Pixel 3 start out running everything you install and slowly learns how aggressive it should limit the battery usage of an app. Aside from leaving it on battery saver, I would also recommend not charging it overnight a couple of days and letting it sit there. That seems to have helped me with the battery life and my device knowing to limit apps I don't use frequently.
Bought this phone 4 days ago on friday. S10plus exynos 128gb, dual sim, but i only use one sim. Android 10 and ONE UI 2.0.
Friday was spent to set up the device. I used smartswitch. Saturday, i fiddled with the device. Battery wasnt that great tbh. Sunday i read some guides and i factory reset it, backuping only messages and photos (contacts are from google). All apps were reinstalled manually.
What got me worried was, i set an alarm for monday at 7.30. When it rang i unplugged the phone and kept snoozing it for another hour. When i finally woke up at 8.30 it was on 94%. 6% from snoozing it?? Come on...
So i reset all three settings (accessibility, network and setting) and cleared cache in recovery mode. Still i was at 6% at 18.00 and i wasnt done with stuff, but i had to go home to recharge... SOT at 6% was 4hrs 50 minutes. I used gmaps navigation for 2hrs and that was the only time i had location turned on.
So today i did some more tweaks and my setup is as follows:
LTE ON all day
Wifi maybe turned on once or twice for few minutes
AOD on tap
Lift to wake OFF
Dolby atmos ON
Sync off
Location off
Bluetooth off
Dark mode ON
Power mode is on Optimized
Adaptive power saving is ON
Adaptive battery is on (altho idk how much it worked in this two days since factory reset)
Bixby is ON and it can be summoned with locked screen
Google assistant is off, but i can "hey, google" when im on home screen.
Screen brightness was most of the time at around 50-60%
Keyboard vibrations ON
Medium resolution
Its 17. 00 right now and im on 10%
SOT is 7hrs 30min but with 9hrs away from charger. I had a day off, so i decided to use it extensively to test the battery.
I have seen peoples results and theyre much better. Like:
-15% left, 21hrs since charged and 7hrs 30min SOT
-15.5hrs from battery, 7hrs sot with 3hrs of youtube and still 10% left
-1day on battery, 7hrs SOT with 2 hrs spent on instagram
-12hrs on battery, 7hrs SOT and 50% left
-7hrs on battery 6hrs 50minutes SOT with 64% left
-the most impressive 1day 12hrs on battery, 13hrs SOT with 4hrs of youtube and 4hours of spotify.
I know it depends on user and his usage, but the results of others are just too much better than mine and i cannot neglect that. And some are using BT, Location and SYNC all day ON with great SOT and standby and come home at night and dont worry about battery. I want it all on too, but mine would probably be dead by 14.00.
I was deciding between S10+ and P30Pro. Huwaei because i know their battery is superb. But samsungs stereo and system convinced me to stay loyal to samsung, and i thought that the battery will be improved and good with a 4100 unit.. But i guess i was wrong. I previously had s7edge and battery wasnt that great either, but i decided not to act on it and somehow got through with it for 3 years with multiple chargers thru the day. I thought this will be a very noticeable upgrade, but its not... And honestly, i dislike night mode and i love AOD always ON, always had it on on 7edge, but im afraid to use AOD and day mode on 10+ cuz of battery. It should be okay from the box for the price it costs. I thought with this big battery i will be able to have Location, BT, Sync, Data Always turned on and get through the day no problem. But apparently not. And I know its possible with huawei and i chose s10+ cuz i thought now it will be possible and i like its UI more.. But well.. Im disappointed..
Can anyone advise me what to do? Is my battery faulty? Should i exchange for a new one? As i said with s7edge i didnt go complain to samsung, but this is second phone with same problem and even more expensive. I feel it should be better. I expected at least 8hrs SOT and to get home at 20.00 (13-14hrs on battery) with still 20-25% left... With most stuff turned on. At least based on this forum and yt tests and what i heard from acquaintances that bought the phone..
I love this phone, its system, features, everything, but idk if im prepared to charge it 2 or more time a day for the next 2-3 years,as i did with s7edge...
Ps: in 16minutes to finish this post it dropped from 10% to 6% already on medium power saving mode...
Thank you for any help
Also those 4hrs of Samsung Internet were 95% news and forums, basically just text and no videos.
Also idk why the new android 10 battery usage doesnt show Android System and Idle. But here is also screenshot of Android system and CPU spy
Disable AOD service for amazing battery life
I disabled the AOD service and my battery life has doubled with Android 10
Your SOT is very good. 7hrs is quite impressive. I'm getting 3-4hrs SOT and mostly I'm losing 15-20% per night. But I have this Standby-Usage since my first Samsung (Galaxy S Advance) and I accepted it as normal.
Yeah today SOT was okay. But you gotta count in the battery since charge time. Yesterday my battery since charge was 12 and half hours. And my sot was 4hrs 50 minutes.
So i guess today would be the same had i not used the phone constantly.
I just dont understand how someone has a phone more than 20hrs since charging with 7, 8 or more hours of SOT. Yet i dont. Same phone..
And yeah i know AOD drains, but still theres sth wrong when your battery doubles if u turn it off. And with 4100, battery unit and 900€ phone this shouldnt be a problem.. Seriously thinking about exchanging it for p30pro. No need to tweak it and it battery just lasts. Ahhhh -.-

I would say your battery life is good..I have Exonys version and I have most of the same settings on that you have on, plus some extra ones...before I installed android 10 I used to get +-12-18 hours standby and a sot of +- 2-4 hours depending on how I used my phone. I never switch off my phone(standby for work). So, when I go to bed the phone just lies there from 10pm till 5 in the morning.... I will restart my phone once a week. AOD is on from 5 in the morning till 8 at night. I never use any power saving modes. The best sot I ever got was 5h54...and the battery lasted 12 hours and most of the sot was playing candy crush...
With Android 10 the sot is still basically the same, but the standby time(idling/sleep) is much better....I get 18-24 hours now, depending on usage.
I know the snapdragon has a better "battery life" then exonys version. In general the battery life isn't the best, but also not the worst compared to other top brands...I had the S9+ and the battery life was worse then the S10+...I get +- 8-12 hours more life out of the S10+
---------- Post added at 04:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------
Forgot to mention that when the phone sleeps, I loose .5 % per hour.with aod I loose 1-2 % per hour. When fully charged the first couple of percent drops quickly, but drops slower after 90%. I Have VOLTE and VOWIFI on permanently, I just switch off wifi and data when I go to bed, so for 18 hours a day I'm connected to wifi from home and work...when travelling I have a hotspot in my vehicle. Data connection(LTE) does eat more battery, but some areas our signal is very low and that eats even more battery...Over the weekend I streamed music to my bluetooth speaker for 10 hours and I lost +- 20%....that's including a lot of screen unlocking/locking, checking whatsapp etc.. Was very impressed..
Well thats comforting to hear.. Does it not bother you that some are getting much much more? Like crazy more..? Those examples of high standby time and high SOT are all from Exynos version that i found in the battery thread her on xda
It did bother me when I got the phone and tried all the tricks for better life and still I couldn't get close. The battery optimization took a while to "learn". Battery life is getting better slowly but surely...A longer battery life would be nice, but as long as I can get through a full day I'm happy. There is some days where I get through on the battery with some 40% left...other days I get home with 15%...usage per person and cell reception is a big factor for good battery life
Ahhh i just get real jelly seeing all others with such good results and i dont understand how it varies SO MUCH from one person/phone to another. Seems like a lottery.
I get even more jelly when i see p30pro results its consistent and same for majority of them and its soooo much better... But their system and features to me arent as good as samsungs.. Cant they just make a phone with samsung features and systems and huaweis battery? Hahah
lol...One of my friend has the p30pro and in the beginning the battery was great...He had it from the beginning....now, some time later he has worse battery life then me...
Seriously?? What messed it up for him? Maybe an update, faulty battery, or does this happen to all huwaeis?
My brother has a two year old huwaei and his battery is still amazing..
Same thing to me. Inconsistent battery, one day is good, one day is bad. I am pretty dissapointed, but I do not want a Huawei again. Features from Samsung are clearly better, and to pay 1300 eur to get an iPhone with 512 cause 128 are not enough and they do not support sd card... not worth. So, I will stick with Samsung, use my external battery sometimes but to be honest, it was more than enough how it lasted for me, it is just that obsession to have a good battery like everyone else.
If I am at work I have some wireless charger but I still do not use it cause I am busy, if i am at home i can charge it anytime... so there is no need to bother. I learned to not be that obsessed anymore and enjoy my phone.
What's wrong with 71/2 hours? I don't get anywhere near that?

My friend's not sure what is causing the problem, but he barely makes it through a work day....He bought himself a car charger and charges it on his way home, the trip takes about an hour per day....as he won't make it on a single charge for a day...He leaves work at 5 in the morning, takes the phone of charged and by 5 he has to charge again

7.5 with low standby time. With this standby time, according to others should be much much more. That similar to what i got on s7edge with smaller battery.
I unplugged today at 8.50. Its 10.26 and im on 82%. With hour SOT. With a bit youtube and some forums.. Thats just unacceptable..

Exactly. This dont get thru the work day either like some people do..bought this phone cuz is saw people get great SOT and they get home late at night with still battery left... And thats not what i get with mine.. Srsly dont get it...
Since you had your phone only for 4+ days I wouldn't stress too much...It took my phone 2 weeks to "learn" my patterns and optimize the battery accordingly when I was it was running Pie. When I installed Android 10, in the beginning it was crap, but 10 days later the battery was optimized...I make sure that the minimal apps run in the background/most are sleeping...

The battery was very crap in the beginning, but got better over time
Thanks for reassuring me. Im stressing so much cuz i got a week to replace it if its faulty. The deadline is on saturday.
If i miss it i can only use the warranty. Which is fine, but the seller or samsung has more rights and can make you wait for up to 40days to find your phone.
Within the first 8days you have full right to demand new device or your money back. At least thats consumer law in my country.
I did the warranty fiasco with s7edge cuz it had faulty screen... Never again. Costumer service terrible..
Followed corv0s guide..still not even close to 8-9hrs SOT... This battery is awful and idk how, since its 4100 unit. Not happy.. Today is last day i can still demand new phone or another phone..
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Some user on youtube got 10h of screen on time during 2 days of usage. seems so promising.
As the fingerprint reader is optical, can anybody tell me if there's an Always On Display option?

hi, can you please share the overnight battery drain? usually exynos is at 1% per hour and the snapdragon at 0.4-0.5% per hour.

wake up this morning at 6 am, batt at 100%, now at 7 pm, batt at 4%. screen on time is 6 hrs and 17 minutes.
heavy use of gmaps, Spotify, WhatsApp, few phone calls.
aod on, location on, Bluetooth on.
gmaps 20%, Spotify 20% WhatsApp 20%, rest is misc, browsing, news apps, etc,
put most app to sleep..
signal quality is average using 4g auto, no WiFi at all.
today heavy use as well similar like yesterday, screen on time only 5 hrs, battery is at 11%, probably only reach 5.30 hrs sot.., only difference is. yesterday is charged by slow charger whole night long, whereas today begin with fast charging 1 hr. I will continue the experiment tomorrow with slow charging again tonight
Totally weird this much difference between slow and fast charge. Totally waiting for you additional test results. And sot changes much after first week. Let's see.
today starts at 7 am, slow night charging.. now 10 pm battery at 18%, 5.30 hrs sot.. moderate use today, not so heavy, 50% WiFi use.., probably around 6hrs and 30 min sot again if I wait till zero..
so far so good, battery lasts whole day long during normal moderate use, don't need to charge during the day.. device never get warm as well..
will post again next week and update after a week of adjustment if its get better sot..
starts at 6 am today, now time is 11 pm
battery left 16%, screen on time is 6 hrs and 30 minutes..
moderate office use, WiFi about 70%, location on, aod on, a bit of gaming as well, very good indeed..
change

is it the smaller note 10 exynos? there are few sacrifices u have to make though, I believe spec wise beside exynos and battery life, note 10 is above s10 lite.., and also do use s pen?
is carrying an extra charger or charging at the office /car not possible? I would recommend you to wait and upgrade to the note 11 snapdragon instead
if u don't use s pen and some spec downgrade, then u can make the switch as trade in price is quite good. do it now before price is going down by the day..
I was using note 9 exynos, and I don't use s pen that much..

Exynos version, i dont use the s pen, i deactivated the s pen functions for a better battery life, sync too!
The important things for me are battery life and performance. Previously i had the huawei p30 (no pro) decent battery life and performance, arround a 6 - 6,5hs sot and an average of 1,5days between the charges., always in performance mode.
All day in the office, i can charge before left the office but is very annoying for me, charge twice in a day (in the morning 8am, and in the afternoon 4pm before leave the office) i dont charge overnight.
I'll sacrifice the ip rating, wireless charge, stereo speaker, camera for a better battery life, maybe? Today, huawei is not a option because the newer devices lacks of google services and the paralel intalls methods aren't 100% compatible with the apps like netflx.
I would like the p40 if recover de google services, but for now its a viable option the s10 lite. The reviews of the s20 series are bad in battery life too

yes, forget about Huawei devices for now, s10 lite is actually the best battery life performance device from Samsung right now, beating Huawei p30 even as I know I can reach 7hrs sot with s10 lite..
I use slow charging method for my s10 lite (7-8 hrs slow charge at night) as it improve battery life sot by 1 hour instead of using the 1hr fast charge method..
I don't miss my note 9 exynos, typing with one hand is now possible because of s10 lite weight.. I miss my v30 though.., if only the v30 battery life still good, I probably will still using it till now... it last 3hrs sot before I switch to note 9 exynos..
v60 is coming out so theres that option as well.., I almost got the oneplus 7t before as it has good battery life, however the amoled color and contrast is a bit dull, similar to iPhone 11 pro max display
anyway stay away from exynos if possible.. clearly not worth it, inferior battery life and heat problem as well
starts at 7 am today, now 11pm , battery left 10%, screen on time is 8hrs.., aod on, location on, WiFi 70%, average signal 4g, WhatsApp and Spotify takes around 35%, the rest is etc YouTube gaming, services..., so might last 8.30hrs sot, very good
@dvdwyn Thanks for sharing your SoT and battery life results. Just wanted to let you know, that the community really appreciates you reporting your findings.
Great SOT over period of 72h, AOD tap to show, wifi on, lte, nothing disabled. Currently on feb security update. Mostly Viber, Whatsapp, Youtube, games.:good:
