S6 Battery Life Pretty Good

anyone think the battery of the S6 is actually pretty good? I'm pretty sure I could've gotten 5 hours of screen on time. Battery was at 93 percent during this screenshot.

6 hours SOT is pretty good and will definitely last at least the entire day for me.

It's pretty good

do you even go outside?, i use mine at 50% procent ( factory default) and i dont think its visible in sunlight. for me the phone has exactly the same battery life as an iphone 6, the problem that i noticed is when i use GPS the battery drains like hell.

Usually I'm indoors but even at 50% for outdoors I get the same screen on time. Never used an iPhone so I can't comment on that or the GPS..yet

I am curious IF I get S6 if at about 20 to 25% brightness- enough for indoor use - I would get 5 to 6 hours SOT browsing Internet emails and Youtube occasionally.
If not I have to get Samsung to make S6 Pro at 7.5 mm thick with
3100 Mah Battery !

I Def think my battery is good. I go the entire day moderate usage an have plenty 30 percent battery life left.

Let me put it this way: I live in sunny Los Angeles and the battery drains way faster from 7 am - 6 pm than from 6 pm -2am. The auto brightness sets the brightness too high during daylight hours and it EATS through the battery. Setting the brightness manually with the slider helps quite a bit.
SOT for me in sunny weather 3 - 3 1/2 hours at most
SOT at night 6-7 hours

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 S9+ before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I go my phone on thursday the 8th and I'm currently I'm getting about 3-4h of SOT.
I would say I'm a pretty heavy user, a lot of Podcasts, Spotify and Youtube (I've installed the Vanced version of Youtube).
I'm also not running the phone on 2k but 1080p settings. I have yet to enable batterysaving mode but I might try having it on medium where it limits CPU power to 70% and decreases background tasks.
Over night when its not plugged in i'm loosing about 1.4% per hour, during the day when I'm using it about 10-11% per hour.
Not really that impressed by it to be honest.
Although I'm coming from a Mi MAX that was designed for batterylife and that I modded to be as efficent as possible.
The phone is not rooted but I've just installed SABS, BK Disabler so I'll be disabling some bloat (I don't use SHealth, GearVR etc) and I'll see if it Improves when the phone stablizes over the coming days.

I'm getting about 3-4h of SOT with an unrooted Galaxy S9+. No power saving modes enabled and a lot of use such as Podcasts, Youtube, Spotify and such.

I am a heavy user. Today is my first full day with the phone. I restored the apps from Samsung cloud, and the messages from other phone using dongle. Yesterday I managed to fully charge the phone after restoring and configuration and it seemed fine as I achieved around 4hours sot and plugged the phone with remaining 20% battery. Today the battery went dead in below 3hours of sot and it was before 17:00, phone was unplugged around 8:00. This is not bad. This is shocking. I will maybe factory reset and restore everything from cloud, if the battery life won't improve, I will be giving the phone back..I have 6,5h of SOT on Pixel 2 XL which is satysfying. I was hoping to get around 5, but 2.5 is unacceptable.

Samsung is always like that at the beginning. Leave it to do it's thing and then check in a couple of days.

That's not my first Samsung, and I've never experienced that big battery consumption

Started of on my first charges with around 7hr sot, ended with the last two on around 3-4hrs, super confusing. I feel like the phone is draining so much in the background, so if i dont use it i wont get good enough SOT.
s9+ btw. Heavy user, snapchat/reddit gifs etc.

Are you guys using the exynos or snapdragon version of this phone?
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk

Exynos in my case. 7% batt with 3,5h SOT. That's a huge disappointment

23% with 5hr 18min screen time, 10hrs since charge. Also 3hrs of apple music and 1 hr YouTube over cellular.
I'm really happy with that.

Unplugged for 16hrs 9min. 19% battery. Screen Time 5hrs 42mins.

No complains here. The battery life is not outstanding but it is definitely acceptable.
When i turned on the device it had like 50-ish % juice and it managed to hold for like 6hours. Obviously not 6 h of SoT but just was using it on and off, installing apps, moving data, playing some media, etc...
Now its my first cycle since fully charged and i'm sitting at 50% with 4 hours of SoT. I did not do any gaming tho.

First cycle on my AT&T S9 Plus SOT over 4hrs and 52% battery life is amazing so far.

Well at 11% and got over 7hrs SOT for first cycle not bad at all battery life seems outstanding for first cycle will see how it goes once it settles after a week should get even better.

Early SOT Results
I received my Unlocked S9+ a little over 24 hours ago (US version). After setting it up last night and some this morning, I am finally on my first cycle of normal use. I am currently at just about 4 hours of SOT with 50% battery (see photo). I know it is way too early to measure the real battery performance, but thought i would share my early results. This is definitely on par with what I have been experiencing with my other phone (Pixel 2 XL) and the settings/apps are almost identical.

Standby battery drain
Charging the phone (S9+ Exynos) before bed, removing the charger and letting it drain the battery during the night, with wifi on, viber, WhatsApp & gmail syncing, I get a battery drain for the last couple of nights of 0.6% per hour, without AOD.
At least for me it's a bit better than my Exynos S8+ could manage.

Could it be, based on this post, that the SD845 version has better battery life than Exynos?

Not sure but it's all over New Snapdragon is battery friendly compared to Exynos , Which Exynos eats more battery. Snapdragon has got to the point is better in different ways from Exynos.

I think this theory could be correct from what I've heard.
Someone mentioned having 4 hours SOT and they're at 50% on the Snapdragon. I'm on an exynos and I certainly would only be able to get 2.5 hours to 3 hours max on about 50% battery.
The question is, can the software be tweaked enough with updates to make the exynos more efficient, I wonder?

I am on exynos and have 4 hours en 10 minutes screen time when i am on 50%
The day before yesterday my phone was up fot 1 day and 10 hours and my screen time was 7 hours and 35 minutes.

AT&T S9 Plus Snapdragon as you can see SOT 2hrs and 1min on 72 % ,so battery life is is gonna keep getting better by the time i go down to 10% pretty sure i will hit 7hrs and half to 8hrs , I also get this type of SOT on my AT&T Note 8 Snapdragon , So not sure why Exynos is having battery issues.

Heavy use endurance

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 S9+'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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

About 3-4h of heavy use, about the same of what you can expect from the old s8+. I'm sure you can tweak that a bit when you fiddle with power saving modes and display resolution.

The S9+ doesn't have the best battery life. If you expect this phone to last you all day on a heavy usage you will be disappointed. If you need something that lasts all day under heavy use then the Mate 10 pro would be ideal. Another option would be the pixel XL 2.

I think the battery life is pretty good on the S9+. I spent the day on wifi but the screen on time in on par to when I had the Pixel 2 Xl.

depends on what you are using it for. in my experiences, bluetooth is a drop in the bucket when compared to screen brightness and background syncing/processes

Just wondering. To the guys with good battery life: Which processor are you running? The Exynos is terrible...

Coming from a pixel 2 XL I completely disagree. I averaged at least 2 hours more screen on time then my pixel ever did at its best in my standby time is better than the pixel. I didn't buy it for that reason but it's a nice extra

yes this is a normal phenomenon if you use the phone continuously without a changeover or just a minimum break. nothing new under the sun. try not to use the phone and your results. This can normally be achieved at Exynos at any time.

A request to all: whoever posts battery endurance, plz mention the following :
1. Exynos version or Snapdragon version.
2. The entire lists of tweaks such as
applying of black theme , wifi Scanning off or not, data/wifi both on or one is off, nearby device Scanning is on or off, whether wifi power saving on or off, how many email accounts r in use and how many are in sync and what all are in sync, gallery etc r in sync to cloud or not, location method is in high accuracy/battery saving/GPS only, "improve accuracy" is on or off, if any power saving is enabled, "smart stay" and other measures in advanced feature settings are on or off, if any package disabler or manually disabling stuff via adb etc.....
3. Single or dual sim used.
4. Show the screenshot in full using "scroll capture".

Maybe, i dont really know how to measure it correctly. Just rooted mine today ? will try to measure with root if you can teach me how to measure correctly. Before root, usually get 7-9hr depends on my usage w or w/o gaming.

9 hrs of heavy usage . Battery flat in 12 hours.

how is battery life for you P3 users?

hi guys, would like to know if you are happy with the battery life or not.. can you get a couple of days battery life with moderate usage and 4-5 hours sot maybe? that's what I use to get with my xz2c... i know experience may vary from people to people and usage etc but with moderate usage it should be pretty clear what I mean... (messaging, browsing, emails, no games, and such)
and AOD turned on please!
tia!

I rarely look at sot but in general, after 4 days, the battery life is perfectly fine. Not stellar but I haven't hit 50% yet after all day use. I'd say easy 5 hours sot simply because I use Strava which is a battery hog while biking and running. With my P2 I'd come home with about 75% or less. With the P3 it's mid 80s and I still last the whole day without a charge. I tend to look at overnight drain AOD but face down so I guess that doesn't count, but I'm either getting 0.5% / hour or 0.6. On my P2 it was about 1.2% / hour. I'll check sot today and edit.

thank you very much sir for your reply so appreciate!
if someone can post also the overnight drain with airplane mode ON and AOD always ON too (that's how I would use it at night), that would be fantastic!

I got just over 5 hours of screen on time yesterday with heavy usage. 6:30AM to 11:30PM.
Adaptive screen brightness set to favor higher brightness. AOD enabled (this turns off when in a pocket or face down on a table, BTW). No gaming. On Wifi for ~70% of the day. Did not top off the charge at any point.

5 to 6 hr on lte. 6 to 7 on wifi. Like the pixel 2

I have only had it for a couple days, but I would never expect it to outlast an Xperia device. Those things go forever! I use LTE all day at work and then WiFi in the evenings at home. The phone stays on vibrate mode from 8am-5pm, and is primarily issued for occasional texts and checking XDA. I leave work with about 70% battery.
YouTube handles the rest of the load from 6pm-10pm. I don't track SOT but the battery percentage drops below 20% regularly with this routine.

Saturday when I put it on the charger at bedtime, it was at 51% with 4 hrs & 10 mins SOT. I thought that was outstanding.

I have super light usage and I get about 4 days. I didn't take a screenshot sadly.

Better than pixel 2 was...6.5hr sot on lte and 7 to 8 on wifi

That is normal. All of these high sot numbers are on WiFi only with special use cases, probably no cellular calls either.

Lol, then you have no worries because you are clearly a light user. ?

It's still early days since I'm doing all the set up still which means more screen time than normal, but the fast charge is ridiculously good, even when connected to a PC.

Battery life is okayish. With normal use like browsing, some videos, light gaming, fb, insta, WA..etc it will go through till the end of the day. I get around 4-4.5 hours of SOT with WiFi, AOD off. I'll test it out more, probably.

Are Exynos Users Getting Bad Standby Drain?

Hi All,
Is anyone getting really bad standby drain on the Exynos version? Soon as I take the phone off 100% charge within minutes of checking it again it falls down to 98% with nothing running or in the background. Last night while I slept for 8 hours it lost 11% which 0 apps running in the background. Please let me know cheers.

Hi I've had the same experience with the note 10+ s20 ultra and now note 20 ultra, at work today on lte connection I got 2.5 hours sot over 12 hours at the end of which my battery was empty. This might improve when the software learns my usage patterns but I found there's nothing you can do about the standby drain, the only 2 brands in my experience with good standby battery life are Huawei and apple.

Yeah I had the exact same issue with my note 10 plus even with learning usage which I sent back. Just come from the Huawei Mate 20X which had the best battery life to this. Hopefully it may improve otherwise I can't see myself keeping it.

I had the P30 Pro and the battery life was far better than this. Let's hope it improves over the next few days.
Just installed the new update which may help.

4h normal use (about 1h screen on), the battery dropped from 90% to 50%

The standby drain is really bad. Really hope after few days of usage it can improve tremendously

4% overnight only.
Yesterday, 6 hours SOT. 7am to 10pm. 120hz. Typically getting 5 to 6 hours SOT.

Did any of you tried putting apps to sleep apps in settings? I did that on my note 10 plus and I think it matters.

Exynos. Quite normal to get anywhere between 5 to 6.6 hours SOT. With 120hz and everything on.

Do you guys disable any bloatware apps? Either via adb or package disabler. There are some apps that run like Samsung push service, smart things, etc.

How does Auto Brightness affect the standby battery drain? I am curious.

When you go out doors day time or sunshine your screen automatically goes full brightness so it will drain battery quickly. Keep your screen brightness low or medium

Now I'm past the first week or so I'm having no battery issues. Happy as usual with my next Note!

I get around 3% battery drain in around 7 hours overnight, but then at work I might not use it for an hour and its drained 3 or 4 %. Maybe alot to do with signal.
