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 Honor Magic before depleting the battery.

Battery could have been improved. In this price segment we expect 4000 mAh battery atleast but 2900 mAh was let down
2900mah a bit low when i used this device 17% for an hour sot on normal usage
For the price, definitely not worth and should have included 4000mAh battery atleast

Good but could be better with P25 and 4000mAh battery.
Normal use i get 5/6 hours full day from 8am to 0:00

above 5 hrs easily..
6 hours minimum.
varies between 5 to 6 hours. no complaint with 3000 mAH, we can not expect 8 hours with this.
To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Samsung Galaxy S10+ can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

They need to step it up to 12v 25w at a minimum. It's not terrible as it is, but knowing how much better it could be is a bit of a kick in the shin... especially considering the expense and the fact it's supposed to represent the best of the Galaxy line.
It's good, yet still somehow disappointing.

Considering the competition offers must faster charging, Samsung should let us charge at 25W just like the s10 5G variant will be able to.
It's actually slow as FF. Charging this device (especially with screen on) is a nightmare. During the day, with auto brightness and mostly bright environment hitting ~15-20% in 30 minutes. That's ridiculous.
My moto x pure edition 2015, charges with turbo charge quicker than this s10+ fast charge.
I'm happy with the charging speed, fast enough to charge and not too fast to deplete the battery life!

Same here 1.5hr or less for a 4000+ mhz battery is satisfactory.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro used to charge from 5% to 100% in 50 minutes, but the overall performance is still far from S10plus. I struggled to get 8+ hours SOT without standby on the Mate 20Pro, whereas with the S10 Plus ive had a steady 9hrs and even achieving 12hrs SOT and 20hrs standby.
I can charge my S10+ running the AT&T firmware here with a LG fast charger in 1 hour 24 minutes coming from 19%
Recently i purchased Samsung 25w charger but its take same time like bundle 15w charger
what's better for the battery, shorter charge/less heat from 50% or 1 1/2 hour full charge from 20%?
what's better or does it make a difference?
1. recharge battery when 50%?
2. recharge battery when 20%?
I've recently joined the proud club of (regular) S20 owners and am really enjoying the phone, all aside from battery life. Honestly, battery life is worse than my 2.5 year old Pixel 2XL and can barely get through a day. I was investigating causes of the drainage and found that the capacity calculated by AccuBattery is a measly 3565mAh. With Samsung advertising that the typical battery capacity being 4000mAh with the rated minimum capacity being 3880mAh, I'm very curious to know what are your battery capacities? (The AccuBattery app will calculate this automatically in its health tab)
Accubattery reports the battery capacity on my S20 5G as 3542mAh. I upgraded from a Huawei P20 Pro which has amazing battery life and find the S20 weak in comparison. But with it being new I have been playing with it a lot and still tweaking the settings to optimise the battery performance so will give it more time. I've had the P20 Pro for 2 years and Accubattery reports the battery capacity as about 3800mAh from its original 4000mAh new capacity which I think is amazing.
Also initially the S20 was using about 3% battery per hour overnight, now it's 1.5% which I think is about right as I have a Gear S3 connected and leave WiFi on etc. I've also set the screen refresh rate to 60 Hz and 5G off when home.
I'll give it more time and might run down to 0% and give it a full charge to see if Accubattery gives a different rating.

That's interesting - thanks for that feedback
https://ibb.co/34bnWg9
Have same problem, the charge stop at 3630mAh .... have really 4000mAh capacity? Or is limited for Sansung
Try Aida64 from play store, and look....
Thx
Ok guys,
SOT was just around 5h 30 min so I suppose battery is pretty badly worn out.
Probably the phone has been used around 1.5 y and I see date of manfufacture 09/2019.
So I switched to dark mode,enabled power saving,disabled all gestures,switched to fullHD+ res and for sake of battery I'm nor charging with super fast option.
I think I won't even charge at max capacity because accubattery tells me the wear out has smallest value when I charge it at 85 %,so I suppose I will charge it to 85 %.
I will discharge battery at 15 %,never less.
I'm charging with airplane mode ON,because I'm not busy person to need phone while charging.
I can also charge the battery when the phone is OFF and I suppose that is good for battery too.
So dear friends what else I can disable in Android 11 and try to increase it's lifespan?
These are all things which came to my mind from experience.
Phoneinfo is reporting under USAGE HISTORY when I tap on it few times health of only 41 %,but don't think it's accurate.
With other software DevCheck and AccuBattery can't get battery wear level,discharge cycles info.
Now I charged it for first time after buying phone to 80 % (suggested by Accubattery) and this is what I got,dunno if it's accurate or not,but I don't believe that health is 96 %,I wish it is.
Don't discharge past 20% but 30 or 40% is a better cutoff. Charging to 70 or 80% max most times will also help. Li's prefer frequent midrange charging.
These batteries aren't that hard to change out. Just had one fail in my Note 10+. As they age that becomes more likely to happen.
Keep an eye open for rear cover bulging, replace the battery asap if this happens.
The battery sits directly on top of the display and can damage it if it swells.
Erratic fast charging and diminished capacity are also signs of a Li battery failure and with the hump there's no doubt.

oh okay,thank you.
Look at the accubattery readings,doesn't look that bad,huh?
How and when will I know that battery is for replacement?
I still can't find software which would report me wear cycles.
Accubattery... this is it's least useful feature.
Compare your SOT now to when it was new.
It's way more than a 4% drop in capacity.
In reality it's more like 60% or so! It depends of course on how much it's current draw is now and if it's about what it's usage was when new*.
It may also be the phone as it maybe incapable of actual ma measurement and only estimates it bases on battery voltage drop.
*my 10+ is getting around 10 hours SOT but with some battery hogs it could easily fall to 6 hrs SOT with a new battery.

I haven't bought new phone,just used...I wrote that SOT is around 5h and 30 min.

Great deal. You did good, the 10+ is a great phone
It still running on Pie?
The SOT runtime is very subjective depending how well optimized it is. If it's running warm* while surfing the web with screen brightness at 40%, it's not optimized and probably using more battery than it has too.
*ambient temp around 72°F but the phone is noticeably warm.

Great app for getting most of of your battery with some great performance tweaks as well. Difference is very noticeable on my device and premium is very reasonable.
Also recommend tasker. I have it set so my NFC and mobile data are automatically of when at home and automatically turned on (with WiFi off) when WiFi disconnects. Also GPS off at all times unless Google maps is open. These made all made a huge difference for me. Reckon combined they at least doubled my battery life per charge.
