Hi everyone!
I'm relatively new to this forum... I've lurked for a lot of time, and posted something years ago.
I'm back because I need to ask a question to people who already have the S20 in their hands: is the S20's battery better than the S10e's one?
Sorry, I know it's a pretty generic question... but I don't know very much about phone tech.
I'm talking about the Exynos variant, but even comments about the Snapdragon one would be appreciated!
Thank you for your attention, guys!
Better battery life is not running 120hz

I'm not very interested in the 120 refresh rate to be honest, I'd be buying it for the camera and for the battery, so I would keep it at 60 hz.
I hope at 60 the battery's better than the S10e's.

I had the S10E. The battery for me has been better trying both 60 and 120 refresh rate. Phone off the charger at 5:30 am. Use all day. 45 min maps and music. Messaging all day. Social Media. 5-6 hours screen time. It is now 8:30 and I'm still at 30%. S10E I would have had to charge on my drive home from work.

That's great news, thanks!
My S10e has a really terrible battery, expecially after the Android 10 update... I have the Exynos version.
I usually start the day with 85% battery (I charge it during the evening while watching a movie, then I spend some time on social media before going to bed), and I arrive at 8:30 pm with less than 40% of battery. The strange thing is that I almost don't use the phone at all during the day. In the morning, I don't use it because I'm at work. In the afternoon, I'm at home, and I use the pc. So I use it very little, but for some reason the battery drains by itself like there's no tomorrow. I don't imagine what would happen if I had to use it during the day for some reason. That's why I wanted to switch to the S20.
Basically, at the moment I arrive at the end of the day with almost your same battery charge, but without having used the phone.
Just resurrecting this thread as I have the same question;
For the Exynos versions, how does the battery life on the S10e running Android 12 compare with the S20 running Android 13? (both at 60Hz screen)
GSMArena battery scores for endurance are 83h (S10e) and 71h (S20) if you use them both for 1 hour of calls, 1 hour of web and 1 hour of video but these scores were with the orignal shipped firmwares.
A lot of reviews of the S20 at the time said it had poor battery life so wondering if the 4,000mAh battery on the S20 is not much better than the 3,100mAh battery on the S10e because of Exynos not being optimised.
Not interested in Snapdragon comparisons as need a dual SIM and only the Exynos version is available here with proper dual SIM support (no eSIM rubbish).

Hi. I want to buy s9 (exynos version). My question is: what about battery life? When samsung releases this phone in internet people talked about a huge stand by drain. It is fixed now with android pie?
It depends on your usage...
My day starts at 6:30 o'clock (100%) until 1:50-2:00 my battery is 45-55 percent with 1:30 SOT
My usage is simple (Facebook messenger , YouTube, Netflix ,insta twitter etc)
My maximum Sot time is 4:26 hrs from 100% until 1%
(Only twice....most of the time my sot is about 2:50 )
I was expecting more for 700€ phone
My friend has an iPhone 8 and he is getting 6-7sot time with 4g youtube and games
That sot of time i got while testing the redmi 5 plus
I think you should buy the OnePlus 6t instead
I think the battery life with wifi is just OK (of course not for a 700$ starting price...) But it's terrible with 4G, very bad for the price. Fast charging made me less disappointed though.
But my friend has also the exynos galaxy S9 and she get more than one day (complete 24 hours) with more than 6 hours of SOT.
I think the battery life isn't the only aspect you should look for before buying a phone. The S9 is a very good phone in my opinion
As the title says... is there something wrong with my battery? I got abysmal SOT of 4hr35min on mobile/cellular data only (No WiFi). Bluetooth OFF, WQHD+, location OFF, dark mode OFF, brigtness 40% or less, Samsung Cloud, Google Photos & Google One back up & sync - all OFF,. Bixby home, bixby wake up, literally everything bixby related OFF. Wake to lift OFF, smart stay OFF. Optimized battery settings, exceptions to optimize made on gmail, whatsapp, instagram. Everything else on optimization. AoD - always on, dynamic background on home screen - yes.
Exynos
Also worth noting - after fully charging the phone, I went from 100% to 98% in like 3 minutes. I also went from 5% to 0% in a couple of minutes.
Is there something wrong with my battery? Surely 4 hrs 35min shouldn't be a norm, not even on cellular data only.
I am also having a same screen on time. My screen resolution is set to wqhd+ always, is that the reason for this? I have heard normally other guys are getting a 6 hours SOT.
Same here, hope they will fix it in one UI 2.0
Exynos or snapdragon variant ?

Exynos has worse battery life.
I also have Exynos, but 4hr and 35mins on mobile data? Are you kiddin me? That surely isn't right...
Wish someone else could chip in with maybe some info... is the battery even right or should I seek replacement lol
Exynos device from my sister, bone stock. Nothing debloated or what so ever.

If the battery consumption is so high using cellular data and not with wifi, it is probably due to signal strenght, when the phone seeks the better signal, depending on your network prefernces, switches between 2g/3g/4g lte, thus using more battery, where I live, there is always high fluctuation in signal strenght, with my note 8, the batt drained faster than normal because of this, in my case I found that locking in 3g gave me better batt life, so, with my note10+ I just knew what to do, and now my batt life is good, 7~8 hrs SOT, and little more than 20hrs idle, btw, there are already some posts regarding this topic, there you will find many useful tips/advices

I keep performance mode on, 4g on all the time, max resolution and use it a lot during the day as I am a heavy user. I bought the note last week and I have managed to have minimum 7 hours screen on time which for me is fantastic as none of my previous phones could handle me that long. The max i got on the note 10+ is around 10 hours Screen on time. My version however is not the Exynos one but the Snapdragon and usually the Snapdragon proccesor manages the battery better than the Exynos one even if this year they are really close

Everybody knows that the Samsung devices with SD are wayyyy better on battery than the exynos ones. The most sot which my sister was able to produce, was around 7h. Good enough for a day, but not great for that much €. My 400€ K20Pro clocks in at around 10h...

What? Seriously? What is the point? You trying to convince people here that they should be better having a k20pro? LOL, and LOL
I have also the same issue... with full usage the phone barely get to 6hr of battery,, and the note 9 with SD with the same usage go to 1 day and 30% to the next day..
4.5 hrs is normal i guess. i get 5 hrs on wifi
Sent from my SM-N975F using Tapatalk
UPDATE!
First of all, I did a factory reset. Then, I did 100% do 0% and then charged the phone while OFF to 100% again and other time I did 100% to 0% and charged it while turning it on after couple %.
I also disabled EVERYTHING Bixby related AND I disabled Facebook running in the background.
The result are in, aaaaaaand.....
MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT!
I am now getting at least 7hrs 30mins with 70%/30% wifi/mobile data usage.
On WiFi Only, I can now get EASILY 9 hours SoT
See screenshots - #1 & #2 showing 7hrs 30mins wifi/mobile data. Screenshot #3 WiFi only, 8hrs 10mins WITH 22% battery to spare! So, easily 9 hrs SoT...
Hello
I just received my s20 plus for a week now and the battery life just like my old s7 edge after 4 years .. 3.5 to 4.5 SOT .
Is this normal ?
Same here mate, but this might improve with software updates.... At least I hope so

I hope.. i am afraid that the device has high power consumption design that with time should only get worse.
Give it 4 days to settle down. But yes it does drain faster than s10+. I knew that before pre-ordering but I thought Samsung would have figured something out...
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Guys this is completely normal for the phone to drain this fast, the phone is learning all your usage patterns in order to adjust the battery, use this time to go over the settings and tweak it to your liking. Also in the s10+ forum there is a battery optimisation post, go over there and apply it to your phone. Also maybe you are using the ultra high definition and 120hz, maybe start with that to tweak it.
Another thing is if you just restore the phone from a backup, this can bring corrupted settings that might be the culprits do factory reset and install all from zero without a backup.
''maybe you are using the ultra high definition and 120hz, maybe start with that to tweak it.''
thats physically IMPOSSIBLE now
I assume that you are using the exynos versions?

I had 7 1/2 sot yesterday SD 120hz
Second day, 120Hz is lovely but damn, I'm at home connected to my WiFi and it's draining like crazy, I'm worried how is it gonna look when I go outdoors to the college and will be using LTE. I'm on Exynos
I'm getting 2 hours of SOT through my day (7 am to 10 pm)
It's been a week that I've been using the Exynos version @ 120Hz RR. Battery life is way worse than S10+ on similar settings, tweaks and usage pattern.
I have charged my phone for the 2nd time and i get +- 5 hours of sot. I use everything on the phone, 120hz etc. The battery is still in the learning pattern phase...getting same battery life as I got on my S10+. I get roughly 24 hours with one charge and 6 hours is included when I sleep...The battery will get better. With my S10+ I got 24-36 hours of battery time with +- 3-5 hours sot...depending on usage...So if I can get the same or a bit better I would be very happy

I'm reading pretty bad about the Exynos Ultra as well in different but reliable sources. It's a pain to have a primary driver that dies mid-day on medium usage, that era of "unacceptable batterylife" on a flagship is believed to be over years back. I remember me behaving in an uncivilized? manner with the ones who tried to defend Exynos S9+ in every online forum when the culprit was the SoC itself to start with..
no wonder they didnt want to enable 120hz at 2K res - it would kill the battery in 1h probably

7.5hrs screen on time? How? First person I've heard that high.
I have the S20+ with the snapdragon processor. I think the battery life is very good, way better than my P4XL. I have 4 hours sot right now and have 60% left. I'm using 120 hz refresh rate. I believe it has gotten better over time, either from "settling" or updates, or maybe my imagination, haven't actually checked but some nights I go to bed after a day of light use and I'm shocked at the battery left. I unplug at 6am and at 10pm I've seen 80% battery left. That's minimal use like I said, not a typical day.
I think the battery life is quite alright, on par with my second phone (OnePlus 7 pro)
Exynos/12gb ram/120hz: stranded on 12%, so it would be around 7.5hours of SOT in full day.
Note: got the phone 3 days ago, it's still settling.View attachment 4977585

I have the snapdragon version and the battery on this thing is a BEAST!
Going on 34 hours off the charger and 7 hours of sot. I have done nothing to conserve battery. Loads of apps/accounts syncing. I am super impressed. Way better then my s10+ was.
120hz on, about mid-brightness, I'm lasting all day use with my personal usage habits. Battery life is as good if not a bit better than on my Note 10+. Snapdragon here on T-Mobile. Mostly WiFi. But it's only been about a week of use.
Can't complain at all.
ETA: Also BT always on using with my Frontier watch and Galaxy Buds on occasion.
Let's forget about all software problems for a minute and focus on the battery life.
I'm really impressed right now with it, with 144hz, screen brightness about 70% and red magic logo LED working while screen is on, it seems that I could easily get 8+ SOT at the end of the day.
I hope those stats are true. :laugh:
Just one big software update could make this phone a beast.
So, how is your battery life?

You got updates? I haven't had any yet, global firmware 3.08 still, and TONS of issues, I can't even use the phone, like literally can't make a call, none of the microphones work.. As for battery life, when I was using it, battery life at 144hz was awful, I get about 4 hours use, I gotta charge my phone before lunch at work in order to keep going and by the time I'm off I gotta charge it again. However, switched down to 90hz today and I get an entire day out the phone with 40% remaining when I was off work so more than doubled my battery life going from 144 to 90

Hi,
I have removed some off topic posts from this thread. Please take note that this is a battery life thread, if another topic, such as update timeline, to be discussed, please open up a new thread.
Thanks for understanding.

Change your call sim to sim2 and disable 5g for the microphones to work in call.
Also, putting call on loud speaker and immediately off also hacks it.
Battery life is fantastic, I can go all day without charging even in 144hz mode.
20 minutes of Gameplay in COD Mobile with max graphics settings, max FPS in gaming mode with the fan full speed uses around 9-11% of battery life.
Compared to 20-25% on the Razer Phone 2 (on lowest graphics settings, max fps).
Battery life is great. At 90mhz refresh rate i get around 8 hours of screen time with 25% battery left. No need for extra battery pack or charge until next day.
Im getting terrible battery life i switched my iqoo neo 3 which i was getting around 12 hours of screen time, and for the redmagic 5g now it's 26% left after just 2h gaming 2h browsing with my older phone i would have had at least 50% to 60% left
Hello everyone,
I was watching some One Ui 3.0 reviews and some of the reviewers started taking about some new battery revamps or whatever, and I stumbled upon the "a full charge will last about" time they get.
Most of them get around 1d and some hours, I also noticed one reviewer getting 2d but he was on a Note 20 Ultra.
I get around 18h...
I know this is a stupid question, but this estimate is based upon your usage habits, right?
I have disabled all the bloatware and I have made some tweaks on refresh rate and all, since I want to get the maximum battery life available.
I spend a lot of screen on time, so I guess that should be a good estimate, but I would like to know what other estimates people are getting.
I apologise in advance if this has been answered before, I am just getting super ocd about my battery life.
It shouldn't matter but I am on an Exynos version.
thank you all!
a week or more.. with no use lol.. moderate to heavy use browsing n what not probably 1.5 to 2 days
oh.. i got snap tho lol

This is not fair... Right now, I am at 13% with 19h and 26min running with 7h screen on time.
I don't think this looks good, does it?
Also check out the graph.
Not to mention that once my battery goes down to 10%, it drops from 10 to 5 and then to 1 in mere seconds...
My Samsung s20 ultra can used only for 11 hours and 53 min after a full charge..... This happen after I upgrade my phone to Android 11.....how can I fix this......
from 100% to 0% i cant get more then 4.5 SoT ( s20+ exynos ).
battery life on this phone is very poor.
It's disappointing...
