I wish to buy with a Snap (HK), but do not know which version is better. I heard that Exynos version has more mods, community.
Or P20 Pro? )
p.s. I do not want to have a ROOT and gaming.
Buy the cheapest one.

As of now exynos kernel is not optimised. Snap845 version will have better battery life.
Get the snap from China or Hk if u want dual sim.

Not according to GSM arena and I've seen some battery tests and exynos version has quite good battery life in this state. With optimisations it will be even better but it's not lacking right now. Maybe the only worse thing than SD is the GPU

I'm using exynos now.... Max abt 4hr SOT... Maybe this is normal. But I'm keen to try SD version...

O think you'd be disappointed but if you have the opportunity go ahead. SoT always depends of your usage and if you're getting 4h now I doubt you'd have much more with sd

Would it be safe to say that the anandtech article by Andrei doesn't mean that Snapdragon has better battery life?
I love my s9 just that I find battery drain faster than my s8...

What I mean is it might have better battery life but not by that much. S8 is already optimized. I think in the next few months people will be pleasantly surprised with the kernel optimisations Samsung will deliver. Exynos have better potential than sd and if they want they can give us excellent battery, better than the s8 but I guess we'll have to wait. Just relax and enjoy the amazing phone

That's terrible, my s7 edge, S8 plus, and Note FE are better than that.
Ive been waiting for buy an S9 to how this battery issue pans out. I always buy exynos for the unlocked BL and roms etc. But have waited this year due to the exynos issues and even considered the snapdragon because the new exyno is so badly optimized.
Coming from a pixel 2 xl where i get 6hrs plus SOT 4hrs will not cut it.

my battery usage wasn't as terrible at that.. my exynos version regular s9 always get 5hrs SOT at minimal, even at heavy usage days with poor reception.. my SOT averages in 5hrs 30mins though.. not a bad one but not the best too

While it's true battery consumption will greatly vary pending useage, apps, location...tons of variables it seems the exynos this year is overall not very good.
Your numbers are better but it seems more people are not having your luck

Whats the deal with the battery? How long does it last for moderate use, and from 20% how long would it take to charge to 100%?
Is the htc "aggressive" memory management really that bad?
I live in south Texas, which means we're years away from LTE, should I buy the international version?
Is there some sort of software like iTunes to back up the phone?
Which has better battery, US version or International version?
Using it with one hand, is it possible for an average size male? Medium hand size?
Thanks!

You'll have to define 'moderate use'. Expect 3-4 hours screen time depending on call time and syncing Gmail, email and social networks etc.
You'll have to define 'that bad'. I have no problem whatsoever with memory management.
Yes, HTC Sync Manager.
I believe the AT&T version has slightly better battery (about 20%).
I can use it one handed OK. It can be tricky when reaching all the way across the screen but that's the unavoidable pitfall to a large screen.
I believe AT&T version only have 16Gb storage compared to international version with 32Gb.
Something to consider.
My usage from 7am to 9pm with 18% battery left, 3.5hrs screen time with 1hr of gaming, screen brightness is around 66%.
P.S. Battery takes 2.5 to 3 hrs to charge from empty to full, so maybe 2hrs to charge from 20% to 100%.
P.P.S. I'm using Juice Defender, also the phone is running with 3 cores and under-volted CPU. Stock ROM might have less usage time.
So the best battery life would be found on the us version? I figured the quad core would be more "battery friendly"

The Tegra 3 is based on older A9 40nm design and the S4 in US version is based on newer 28nm A15 design. The S4 is just as fast as the Tegra and it is more energy efficient.

I have decided to get the HOX instead of the GS3 as I can get the 32GB for the price of a 16GB galaxy, and the hardware seems much better and the phone much nicer.
As far as I understand, the 32GB version is the INTERNATIONAL version which basically is a 4 cores and no LTE HOX.
If I get this international version, there would be no problems with rooting and installing custom roms?
My other and very important concern, what about battery life? I read comments where it says it lasts about 6 hours of normal use, which is too little. I thought the HOX had great battery life, or is this a problem with the international version only?
THANKS!
Please ask about this on the international one x forums
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
Didn't realized there was one, can any moderator move it there? Thanks.
One xl comes in 32gb in several regions. That spec alone does not define if the phone is Evita or endeaver.
I'm positive is not the LTE because is about 500 new unlocked for 32GB, and it says GSM phone on the description.

If you're worried about development progress on the HoX T3, you've got nothing to worry about. It's one of the most active dev forums on XDA. If you got the XL version then you have reason to worry cos development there is a bit on the slow side unfortunately /:
6 hours of normal use? Define normal use I get 3-4 hours on screen time with moderate usage and some heavy duty gaming. Screen auto brightness.
Right, what would be normal use for some would be not normal for others.
I do not use it for long periods of time, but maybe I check incoming emails about 10/20 times a day, send/read another 10/20 whatsapp messages, talk no more than 1 hour on average, and maybe another 30 minutes of browsing.
I currently have a SGS2, and I manage to get about 14 hours of phone use like that, more or less, would I be able to get better battery on the HOX? Would it make any difference if it is the dual core or quad core version?
Thanks.

The dual core version has better battery life while in use, but the quad core one has better standby performance cos of it's 5th companion core. Since the phone will be on standby for the majority of the time, it kinda evens out. Tegra 3 has better talk time, while S4 has better on screen time. Both will definitely last you a whole day at the least I haven't checked out battery performance in awhile, cos it's always plugged in at my office pc But I can do a few tests starting today/tomorrow for a few days to see what my combination of ROM and Kernel does for battery life.
Thanks for the information. So I would buy the international version then, and an S3, just in case, and see which one gives me more battery (really hope it is the HOX, as the S3 is horrible, the S2 is much better looking).

The S3 does have a bigger battery though.. Also depends which S3 you're getting, the S4 Krait or the Exynos version (international)

I currently have an S2, which I love, even if I would like the battery to last 2~4 more hours at least, which I would like to upgrade from.
While I love the aesthetics of the S2 in general, I do not like the S3 that much, and love the HOX aesthetics. My only problem with the HOX, or any other phone for that matter, is again battery time.
I think that in general, the HOX and the S3 are more or less the same, the only differences being aesthetics and maybe battery time.
So you are saying that the S3 has a longer lasting battery? Would the Krait last longer in general than the Exynos or the opposite?
I would prefer the HOX, any of the HOXes, to the S3, but battery is the most important thing for me, so much that I have even considered a Razr Maxx, but I'm not so sure about it.
If battery is of the utmost importance, then maybe you'd like to wait for the HoX+ that will be out in shops soon. It has a bigger battery, slightly better front camera, comes with JB and Sense 4+ and a slightly faster clocked Tegra 3. I haven't seen many S3 Exynos reviews yet cos most review sites are US-based, hence having access to the Krait version first. For really in-depth reviews I go for anandtech, they did a review for the Krait S3's already but none for the Exynos yet.
The HoX+ has a 2100 mAh battery, while the S3 has a 2100 mAh battery as well. Both will last you through a day easily, with the S3 slightly ahead.
I would say the Krait would outlast the Exynos, but that's just me making a guess haha.
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 S7 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
7 hours with 15% left
6 hours with 12% left. 4G connection all the time

not sure how to check.. but i'm on Tmobile preorder unit.
screen was 3rd down the list after Android System and OS
90% on wifi. No game play, and watched a movie on netflix on wifi.
the battery page has got to be a reporting bug as I can't see how Android system can take up that much battery.

Got it today. Set all my settings, downloaded GB of stuff, few restarts, half an hour Asphalt 8, 4G/ WLAN, automatic brightness, no batterysaver active
I think this is really nice

I've ran package disabler pro and disabled ALL but two or three bloatware apps.
My new S7 had a reasonable day I guess. Not too impressive but ok.
5Hr SOT fully drained.
A bit of GearVR and a bit of nav via google maps and the rest browsing.
I thought it might be better but im glad its not worse.
Happy enough.
4+ sot with auto brightness. About 1.5 hrs of deezer and 1hr of hearthstone.
Rest is twitch and a bit of browsing.
Also 1hr+ calls
I heard that Exynos has better scores on running browsers.
So the Snapdragon may not last as long as Exynos when browsing? Did I interpret it.correctly?
I use my phone very heavy on web browsing and I am on Verizon network using S6 currently. The rooted S5 runs smoother than unrooted S6 and lasts longer.

As the Note 4 with the Exynos a lot of people got very good battery life, even little bit more than snapdragon

I'd pick SD636 over SD820 anyday for overall performance.
I'd pick 4000mAh over 3000
And 636 is more battery friendly.
Custom roms/kernels are making fast charge possible now
So...
But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. :good:

That is what i want to ear xD cause i have the op3 and i will be selling it probably to get a RN5.. i bought for my girlfriend and i was amazed with the screen and battery.
Also the performance seems on par with the op3 checking that op3 is on a custom Oreo optimised rom and RN5 was on official dev miui10.
The phone is sexy AF as well xD
op3 is an old one. battery is weak. average 3hrs SOT. and op6 is better .
Battery life seems to be like a year old phone for me, it's terrible. I have the 5g version. Nit on 5g yet but it doesn't seem very good. Any tips
How new/old is your device? Also exynos or snap?
I've got a 2 day old exynos and I'm pretty impressed, seem to be getting over 7-8hrs sot.
A month or so old

It's funny because when I wrote my initial reply it did seem impressive. But as the days go by, its perhaps a bit less impressive! Seems to be draining a bit quicker. Probably got more like 5hrs sot today, although that's not bad I think I just expected more.
I do recall with my s10 plus it was similar then after a week or 2 battery optimizations kicked in and it seemed really good.
I can't think of any specific settings. Main things I've done are put social media apps to not background sync, dark mode all the time and adaptive power saving.
Yeah battery life is not this phone’s strong suit. I barely make it through the day with every battery saving possibilities activated.
I did get a used 3 month old for an incredible price so can't complain more. Cheers!
