Samsung s20+ 9860 (snapdragon) battery life - not impressed - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Hi
Just wanted your opinion on the battery life of my s20+ which I'm not really impressed with.
Pretty low screen on time and already 1/3 down.
Using 96hz refresh rate.
What do you guys think?
Thanks

Your complaining about getting 1 day and 11 hours per charge??? Seriously???

you're fine, by this calculation by 0% you'll have over 6hrs of SOT which is good

samsung s9 exynos

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

Battery life

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...

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

True. Battery life is horrible. I don't want to use such a phone tbh

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.

Galaxy S20 battery: better than he S10e one?

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).

Screen on time

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 Tab S7 / S7 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Only get 4-7 hours on my tab s7+ (60 hz / low brightness)

I get between 1 nanosecond and 136 years depending on the wind
On a more serious note, if brightness is set all the way up I can see the 7+ lasting 4 hours or even less. Not only it can get very bright, but the battery life is average, especially on 120Hz, where I'm permanently at because it looks a lot better. It's a waste of a device if you go down to 60Hz.
I actually get around 11 hours screen on time on the S7. Wifi and Location constantly turned on, 50% brightness, 60hz. Do a little gaming, constantly watching videos and doing light programming (still learning Python via Pydroid3).
Around 10 hrs on tab s7 with 75_80% brightness
Mostly Netflix and Amazon prime
Going to return my S7 Canadian version, 256 memory
Got it as an open box from Bestbuy.ca, 750 CAD, right away charged to 100, set 60 Hz and power saving, disabled few apps...
Aaaand i cannot kill this battery, look at the screen time.
Usage pattern - few hrs after work, YT and browsing. Those few days when I only used Xodo to read a book, 2-3% per hour... couldn't believe.
Now, considering that I kept my Note 9 on Oreo and still getting 8-9h SOT, people over at N9 forums regretting updating as it killed the SOT - with all that I will hold off on updating S7 to Android 11, relying on those brave (or desperate) here to update yours and report back how is battery life with UI 3.1
Anyway, the screen shots attached
I hate how Samsung has implemented battery stats. Tracking usage over an extended period is a chore compared to older versions of OneUI.
Anyway, at 96/48hz my S7 on A10 is getting about 12-13hrs when I draw. Also own an S7+ that just arrived. Paid 285 for the S7 and 361 for +.
About 9hours on really dim screen most of the time. But 120hz.
I'm Getting Pretty decent SOT on my S7+.
7hours + SOT while 10-12 Hours Screen off time with 2 hours mostly pubg.

A full charge will last about?

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...
