I might be tripping but my Note9 Doesn't last as long as my OP6. I run the same apps and similar settings and my note last me about 5-6 hours my OP6 Last 6-7 hours. All this with heavy usage and the OP has a lower battery capacity.
I feel like heavy use and light use consumption is around the same and get 5-6 hours SOT regardless. Browsing and using the Samsung Music app seems to drain around 1% every 5 minutes. I was expecting the battery to drain a lot faster with games but it's more subtle than I thought. Yesterday I didn't game much but used S-pen to take notes, and got 6 hours 21 minutes SOT with 6% left, within 10 hours of total usage (resolution was QHD+ most of the day). Today with some heavy gaming (Real Racing forced to QHD resolution with Game Tuner, as well as Bowling by Jason Belmonte, Alto's Odyssey) I got around 5:48 SOT in 11 hours 25 minutes (started to reduce the resolution to FHD+ around 30%).
I'm going to kill the battery in my Note 9, eventually. It's my daily workhorse. Multiple Gmail accounts, work email, continuous use throughout the day, 3 games that I check upon every hour and a half... Should last about a year by my estimate. Oh well. Phones come and go...
Heavy use endurance is okay in this phone but light usage endurance is not good. You lose %15 in a hour just by 9gag browsing.

Sadly, samsung put a lot of effort for this not to happen. Right now it's not really possible outside of a friend that don't play fortnite and lend you his phone to login with your account and play atleast 3 full matches.
I find camera and SoundHound to drain a lot. I can barely break 4.5-5h SOT if I use the camera for over 50 minutes. The other day I was trying to see if SoundHound could identify songs from my bad singing while wireless charging and the percentage actually went down.

IMHO, the fortnite skin you get is garbage. Should have given in game money instead. Or at least pub g. I play both on my N9 with the latter getting more SOT
Recently got my Note 9 a week ago and battery has been about average as compared to my last phone. I can last 5-6 hrs of heavy use and 7 for light use. Mind you my last phone was the Galaxy A7 (2017) and battery on that thing is nuts. 7 on a heavy and 8-9 in light use. Might probably due to I game more on my note rather than my last phone.
Off topic question, was playing ragnarok mobile on my note while fast charging when I suddenly fell asleep. Woke up 4 hours later game was still on and the battery is now at 83%. Will this massively damage the battery of my phone?

Fast charging works up till 80% then it will switch to normal charging (and the 80-100% are always different charging method that is slower + better for the battery longevity). You are fine, nothing will change about your battery health. I would be more concerned about burn-ins/burn-outs, but you played most likely at lower brightness and surely not in overdrive mode = you will be just fine too.
Edit: also I forgot to mention that samsungs don't fast charge when the screen is on, only when the screen is off = it charged slowly normally and that's why it reached only to 83% (as because of the battery use, the actual + in the charge was lower than the 2A in normal charge/~500-1A in the last 20%). All good, as I said, don't worry.

Note 9 has a big and brighter screen and a lot of bells and whistles
I guess that makes sense. The bigger brighter screen could be the culprit.
I can go a day (8am to 12pm) of moderate-heavy use with some battery left over. I'm taking 5-6 hours of SOT (WhatsApp, Internet, RadioPlayer Canada, Google Maps, Twitter, Fallout Shelter). This is despite the phone not being entirely optimized for battery life besides using the Device Maintenance feature (I have wifi and data on, bluetooth, location, high resolution, automatic brightness).
The battery actually kind of sucked when I first got it lol. But it randomly improved a lot.
My SoT with heavy usage is just amazing 6-7 hours without a problem!
Has anyone used the dual sim always active feature? Im assuming it drains battery far faster, especially with extended use
ok here is the deal. games will drain the battery less than previous phones do to more efficent cpu.
however anything else didnt change at all or got even worse.
any wireless connection, sensors, screen (even worse), will be the same as in any other phone. so this is where the battery kicks in and gives us a bit more leway. yet it ahs to compensate for the insane screen. so our SOTs are pretty good.
biggest issue is google and google services as usual. with their insane collection of data we litereally pay for them collecting our data. and thats not just a little bit, its over 1000 datapoints an hour.
that was the main reason i wanted to switch to apple, but after a day in hell i gave up on the fruit ****show. way to many compromises.
however at the end of the day what really kilsl the battery is energy for the screen itself and all kind of data connections.
the cpu cycles are laughable for most games, those cpus are powerhouses, almost PC level
so turn of wlan, turn of gps whereever you dont need it, same for bluetooth, cut down on syncing services as much you can this helps a lot.
also gmail is aweful in their push services. i tossed it out, i run exchange active sync and its fine

How's your screen after the 22 hour marathon? Any screen burn in? Ghosting? What brightness do you keep it at?

With light use my battery barely moves.
My first day of real life use I had 70% remaining, that was with social media, 9 hours of work and 14 hours off the charger
are you guys leaving the always on display off? ive had mine for a few days coming from a pixel and this battery hasnt impressed me much. But granted ive had the always on, on.
I've turned mine off since day one

Honestly I think the AOD barely effects it. I have AOD on and after being off the charger for 3 hours with light use, a few texts and checking email, I've only gone down 1%.
HI All,
I have had my G6 since this Friday that pasted. I haven't had a phone this good for a long time. I previous owned a LG V10 and this phone just out performs all my other phones. Its fast has a battery life that i have very pleased with. So far I have played games most of the day and i make it home with about 20%. If i charge my phone while driving I have about 60% when i get home. I purchased Three anker USB C cables, they seem good but its a very snug fit.
I also have yoo tech glass on the phone which was a awesome deal.
I am using Spigen LG g6 Tough Armor its very small but strong.
sometimes on los 14.1 fastcharge isn't working. Else super fast.
endurance with los could be better
What is the longest standby time anyone has got from a full charge with light use? My max is just over 47 hours with very little use but I have some standby drain issues. Has anyone had this phone off the charger for 72 hours or more?
On light use honestly i get 6-8h of SoT and yeah i am not kiding.
Easily lasts me the whole day, although the drain can be variable even with seemingly the same usage pattern. But even under the worst scenario I am left at the end of a day with 30-40% left. So I charge every night-- what else can you ask for?
I'm easily getting 7:30am to 9pm with light to moderate use throughout the day and have 30% left.
With my daily moderate-to-heavy usage, I'm consistently getting at least 4-5 hours SoT with always-on display enabled and my brightness around 50%. Gets me through the day just fine. I usually get home with 20-30% remaining. If I use my device lightly, I could probably get at least 5-6 hours SoT.
I made it to 6hrs SoT today. I had music playing from Spotify in the background the entire day.
Having purchased the mate 10 pro back in march i was expecting a good 6hrs of SOT. However i have only managed to hit that once in 3 months. I have done multiple factory resets and investigated what was wrong using accubattery with little to no success. In fact i have found something odd. I get better battery life charging to 90% then 100%(how odd right?). From 100 to 20 i get about 3hrs 45mins to 4 hrs of screen on time. I get a similar amount if not more if I charge to 90 and let it drain to 20. ( usually around 4hrs SOT) I have thought about taking back to the carrier and fixing it but i cant be bothered waiting 2 weeks for them to probably not find anything wrong and returning it back. The model is BLA-L09 8.0.0.134(C34). Im gonna try using a different carrier to see if its a carrier problem even though i consistently get full bars of signal. Anyone else get such crap battery life or is it just me. Im hoping future updates like gpu turbo will rectify this problem and improve efficiency. Check my accubattery stats in the link below. Usage is normal web browsing, messnger, fb, youtube. All background apps disabled. Location wifi scanning off.

I don't know when or who began the SOT fever, but it's not a very reliable way of measuring battery life across users and devices.
I can squeeze 4h maybe a bit more depending on the day, and people consider it bad, well in my former phone I would be happy if I'd get 3.
But I don't disable any radios, I don't set the screen brightness to the lowest value possible when it's just bearly readable and I don't care about apps running on the background, actually I've every kind of aggressive battery management disabled.
I stream a lot on YT, Netflix and from my cloud drivers, when the screen is of I'm probably still streaming some kind of audio (be it podcast, spotify or YouTube), all this mostly via 4G and connected to Bluetooth headsets.
I have seen a lot of claims that the Kirin 970 isn't as efficient as it's counterpart (SD835 and 845), but haven't found any test backing up this claim, neither have I been able to test it.
What I noticed is that the Mate drains quite a lot of battery on standby compared to other phones, makes me think that the modem isn't very efficient, because the kernel goes through the right cycles of sleep and wake (doze maintenance windows) when in standby.
Having the phone connected to WiFi while on airplane mode improved my battery consumption quite a lot, if your carrier supports vowifi you can try it.
But having a charger that can charge enough of the battery in a bit, I don't even care in saving battery tbh.
7-8h here regularly with most of 4g,ive never seen less than 6h.

i never used to care about SOT either but upon watching utubers like uravg consumer and Mr mobile and other say they easily last the day with 60-70% remaining makes me annoyed that my mate 10 pro cant do that. Also reading through the battery forums where people are getting 6-8hrs makes me frustrated that i cant similar mileage.

do u have accubattery installed? what does the discharge rate say? My discharging speed currently is 529ma and this usually reaches 600. 4000/600=6.5hrs of continue use. Im never gonna get that because theres also standby battery usage.

On average I have 6-7 hours with very intensive use and moderate use of 9 -10 hours, I had never had a phone with which I was carefree of the battery. I have the c432 version. 145

Makes you wonder what they (and others) classify as intensive use.
Mr. Mobile also claims that he didn't felt let down by the 300ah battery on the G7 thinq, it would last him a busy day till the night.
Well it lasts me from 7am to noon before I'm reaching the lows 30%, depending on the day.
Here is the thing, what someone may consider "intensive use" might just be light use compared to your usage.
Someone that says "oh but I'm playing like more than 1h a day", well this person might have the phone on auto brightness (and the Mate chooses a level that falls loweer than what I would want), several radios turned off and he/she might be playing a not so gpu and cpu intensive game, in the mean while if I'm streaming 1h of youtube I know the hit on the battery will be dramatic, 4G radio and BT always on, screen on a higher than average brightness and I might even be doing something else on the phone (either using PiP or dual-window).
Unless there is an app crashing you battery, something that's easy to spot, it might just be that your usage is just more demanding that others.
The only variable that you don't have a control is indeed the network coverage, the leaser the coverage the more battery your phone will use, and if your network is based on lower frequency bands, your phone might be working a bit higher indeed to talk to the tower.
As for your mention of GPUturbo, it will automatically oberclock the gpu when in a demanding game, I'll suppose it might have a slightly negative impact on the battery, but it doesn't need to be this way, and if it is, you'll only notice it while playing a graphics intensive game.
Edit:
By all means I'm not trying to discredit those or any other reviewer, but I put my questions mark if the totally unscientific "in my use" measuring should be the only kind of information we get from them.
This will sound pretty familiar to anyone who watched any phone review: "in my use with browsing, some calls, music stream and emailing I get X hours of use"
And I'm like okay, but how many minutes of calls? Over what network (wifi, 4g, 3g...), Speakerphone, regular call or wired headsets, what Browser and how long, screen brightness, etc etc etc ..
Even if you try to be consistent it's difficult, I know for a fact that in winter I get more battery life out of my phones due the simple reason that the days are shorter and darker in general.
If you are testing a Key2 you'd be expending less time playing games or watching content, just because the form factor pushes you off doing those tasks.
I think those reviewers should move towards more consistent testing found in more classic reviews, providing a consistent environment for testing, like measuring the phones brightness to test how much battery something like X time of video playback takes. There are even automated tests that you could run a few you'll get a score at the end.
I'm not really sure why y'all get such bad battery life, I have all my apps set to manual monitoring none automatically launch unless I tell them to it only certain ones they running in the background. I don't need every notification every second, so that definitely helps GPS is turned off, Bluetooth always on connected to my Android Wear, Spotify three to five hours per day average over Bluetooth, PBA bowling for about an hour a day, camera wanted to pictures a day if I'm in the mood to take pictures of my car, and regular everything else phone calls texts checking Instagram Snapchat Etc

NO i don't,don't have need for that. I just look at battery stats in settings occasionally.
Working days,house-caffe bar-office and vice versa,4G/WiFi,auto brightness,3 emails sync,twitter,whatsapp,viber,LINE,Vikings(battery hog game). Around 8h of sot. Give or take 30min.
Working days,traveling,4G only.weaker signal,all other the same....6-7h of SOT.
Weekends home WiFi....playing games and lurking on twitter. 9/10h of SOT.
Bummer for the game

What percentage of the battery does your screen and phone idle take up under hardware?
There's a battery thread in this subforum i believe I've put all my screens there
First of all: you are a victim of your own mind. I study behavioral economics atm and one big implication is that a lot of judgments are based on a reference point that is initially set when you first receive information about something. You watching all these ridiculous "reviews" anchored the magic 8h sot in your head. now you will always compare your numbers to that. or other high numbers. and be disappointed. huawei did not understand yet that it is not enough to make a quick sale by exaggerating specs but long term customer satisfaction.
I only get like 4-5h of sot too (in a period of 24h). I think its great coming from an s8+. The iphone 7 of my gf gets like 1.5h sot in 8h usage lol
I think you should not focus on numbers. battery is dependent on too many factors. (your screenshots about charging to 100 or 90% are pretty useless). rather should you think about "is it enough for what i need it every day?".
i play pubg mobile on max brightness quite a bit lately some arcades mostly, full matches on my ipad (20-40min/day), watch some youtube but i dont have any social media apps besides twitter installed, though i use instagram in chrome. i have a garmin watch aswell. What i am trying to say: doesnt matter what times others get, there are 1000 variables influencing battery life it is simply impossible to pin it down to one number. i have my pattern of usage and its not changing so much only sometimes there are spikes, so all i care about it "will it get me through a normal day, preferably with a little buffer?". if you cannot manage your daily life with one battery charge you should think about a powerbank (there is a huawei with supercharge). because there is no other phone better than huawei atm. its simple as that. 4000mah is the most you get in a flagship, some others reach same usage numbers but in the end no one is notably better than huawei.
I am happy with my 4h-5h sot in 24h because i dont need more. in fact most of the time i only have like 3h sot after 24h and still have 25-30% when i charge. i think our batterie life is pretty similar tbh if i use my phone more i get more sot. i think i could get 8h sot in 10h of usage with youtube or netflix but over a period of 55h i once had almost 2h sot with flight mode at night. i am happy with that.(wth are you guys doing with 8h sot in one day lol do you work?.)
when i go out spontaneously for example i experience the need for a bigger battery but it is only sometimes. for that i enojy supercharge. while all my friends have dead batterys i am still on 40% cause my phone charged from 25-75 during the 20min i showered before going out. all others only manage to charge theirs from 15-35 RIP
With my Mate 10 Pro i get 9h SOT.
if anything, this device is far too stringent with preserving battery life.
if you are having this issue, then the issue is with you and not the device. you won't find better battery efficiency than EMUI
First off disable chrome
I can get 11-13h onscreen easy with my setting. My battery accu check 102% omg

so can you post your power consumption?
for 1h usage of kiwi or chrome it draines 1200mah according to my stats.
generally what i notice is that for it always displays hardware around 25-30% and software around 70-75%. Most people with 8-10h sot here have something close to 50/50. this means that their apps consume less power relative to the phones hardware. i guess the hardware is less variable compared to software.

Its better than the realme 3 pro and note 7 pro but its not like 5000mah capicity, feels like 4400 or 4500 because its os is bloted and not smooth very heay skinned ios clone
SoT
I get around like 9 hours at heavy usage. I was using the lenovo p2 before so it isn't actually very impressive. Its better than most phones out there tho. There is a low power mode but why would i turn down my performance for a minor battery improvement. I guess you can make it upto 10 hrs with that mode.

Battery is impressive. I get consistently 10 hour SOT on this phone. And I love the system wide dark mode.
Easily 10+ hours sot for normal usage, browsing, WhatsApp, line, manga, little gaming (drastic, brawl stats, bang dream). Normally charge once in 1.5 to 2 days
Can i install asus launcher ls send link
Any issues anyone after the new update 1.7.5 battery or heating?
SoT varies heavily
I had the previous version Lenovo Vibe P1. It consistently gave me 10+ hrs of SoT until its death by battery swelling last year. I was initially apprehensive to go for a 6.5 inch screen phone as had an HTC Flyer which was a 7inch Tablet and had a usable 6.5 inch screen due to its status bar and Task Bar in Honeycomb. However, it has been a standard lately where if you are looking for a battery of 5000+ mAh then the condition is it comes only in mobiles with screen sizes upwards of 6.4 inch. The additional pixels and screen sizes eats up battery quickly but not as much because of the efficient processors that comes along nowadays. I wished it had a 6000+ battery
I was surprised that Z1Pro initially gave me <7hrs of SoT. I did call up vivo and complained to them about the same. Their response was as the system gets to know your usage as time goes by the battery will improve and give a more 9+ hrs, which came true after a couple of weeks of usage. I don't play games much, however my primary usage is content consumption and ebook reading which thankful to its large screen is comfortable with the Aldiko/Kindle App. Moreover, I'm hooked to listening to music on Bluetooth on my TWA pods which gives me more than 3.5 hrs of music play per earpod. This barely eats the battery but the primary App is "Android System" which is typically eating 30-35% of the battery in the background.
Here are the SoT stats of the Z1Pro below for a 30 day period
"Total CPU Usage" "CPU (foreground)" "Maintaining Awake Sc "Awake Duration" Power Comsumed
Android System 70:41:07 00:40:35 01:25:30 02:44:06 25% 2:37:14
WhatsApp 11:11:56 08:10:44 00:25:38 19:54:13 14% 22:52:10

RF Service 396:25:02 6% 1040:27:55
I had been charging upto 80-82% after battery depletes under 10% for 9 times out of 10. After 10th time, I charge it to 100% then again 80-82% everytime battery depletes under 10%... This I do it to collect Battery Stats for the usage. Getting 2.75-3 days worth of Battery life after charging to 80-100%

I get around like 9 hours at heavy usage. I was using the lenovo p2 before so it isn't actually very impressive. Its better than most phones out there tho. There is a low power mode but why would i turn down my performance for a minor battery improvement. I guess you can make it upto 10 hrs with that mode.

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Google Pixel 4's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Google did a good job with Stanby drain. I'm getting 0.7-1.0 % drain per hour.
The first few days battery life was horrible. While it's improved, I do question WTF is going on with it. I've had screen on time less than 20 minutes today and it's at 88%. Granted I'm playing pokeymon go for half that but still. My Pixel 3 was better.
After having it for a week the battery has improved significantly for me. Under light usage (social media, few YouTube videos etc) I'm at half battery 22 hours since last full charge.
It's pretty amazing considering the battery size. Plus they will probably improve it more with firmware updates
How's everyone's battery? I'm in a s10+ now but wanna possibly go back to a pixel. I want a smaller phone but can't decide between the 4 or the xl cuz of battery
For me it has been terrible, worse than my Moto Z2 Force with the same battery capacity and a 2 year old processor, even worse, the phone is actually slower in day to day apps except games. It also keeps less apps in memory against my European Z2 Force running Android 9 Pie and 6GB of RAM. Only got 3 hours of screen on time and had to charge at 7PM from 8AM.
I'm sending it back in the morning.
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'s battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Decided to give this machine a full Saturday of being out around town. Woke up around 9am, phone was at 90%, did some errands, listening to podcasts, watched a lot of YouTube videos at my cigar lounge, streamed different news while in the car via BT, and at night walked the dog while listening to more podcasts via Samsung Galaxy buds. At 8pm I had about 19 hours of on time since last charge, nearly 5 hours of screen on time, and ended the day now at 19% before plugging the phone in while I showered and took out the trash and I'm back at 89%. I remember the days of my OG Droid or NEXUS phones and so this is just damn mind blowing. I will still get a ZERO LEMON for when I'm at the beach or Disney (live right by there in LA) as having that extra security of power just easies the mind but other than that this Note 10+5G is beastly.
7hrs SOT including over 6 hours of UHD youtube vanced playing and around 48% battery remaining. Brightness at MAX (using video enhancer).
That's more than decent in my book!
Unlocked USA version, Snapdragon 855 with 512GB storage.
I got same SOT around 7hrs+ note 10 plus USA tmobile carrier

Add to that the screen is huge and it runs very fast.
The more I play with the 10+, the more I like it.
In another day or so I'll be holding a smartphone 1 tb of fast storage. Outstanding.
Samsung finally got the Galaxy Buds software/firmware dailed in... what's not to like*?
*ok maybe just a tad of sarcasm...
I wish I had the Snapdragon model
Exynos is .....
i got this phone... i cant remember when i got this phone, but ive ran it constantly while at work, and usually its even gaming by itself when im not using it, few months ago i thought hm prolongued use.. may be an uh oh.
0 life difference, battery still op asf
Bought the note 10 plus last year. The battery is still amazing getting 7-8 hours of SOT. I have three emails in full sync. Location, GPS, and Bluetooth always on. Definitely sticking with this phone until the end

hi.. may i ask what android version your using? pie? thanks
After heavy settings and packaging blocking mods my AT&T 10+ running on Pie uses 7-10% @ hour during internet vids, browsing, and gaming.
A 20% charge last 2-3 hours of SOT. Outstanding*.
*it wasn't always like this; at one point it was a hot running battery hog.

My Snapdragon AT&T variant did about the same or worse.
It was a hot running hog dog.
86+ blocked packages, plus extensive settings mods, plus disabling all power management and adding Karma firewall, a lot of time optimizing it... it now a fast, cool running machine with good battery life.
My advice is to play with it. Keep it running on Pie.
It may yet surprise you.

Is there a list anywhere of which packages to block?
