If you used the S21 Ultra as primary driver and then upgraded to the S22 Ultra, how's your experience with the S22 Ultra purely in terms of batterylife? Do share your thoughts. Thank you.
my experience, bad. In reviews, they claim that there is a 5-10% reduction, but in my opinion, it is at least 20% worse
Coming from a note 20 ultra. It has been worse. Battery drain while not using phone is ridiculous. Snapdragon 512gb. Hope a firmware fix is on its way.

Update to fix standby drain is a possibility. But what about battery drain when using?
This is my usage.....60 hz refresh rate...insta..WhatsApp...browsing...and 3 Google's accounts and one outlook in sync. I would say it's the same as s21. No real increase in battery life.

Keeping in 60Hz you used to get similar endurance with the S21U? If I'm not mistaken you got rid of S21U shortly after buying?

That is correct. I used to get similar endurance on S21 ultra. I sold it after 3 months as I wasn't happy with the camera and pro mode. Granted last year..there wasnt great smartphone cameras that were made..except 13 pro Max
it started off worse for me on the s22 ultra but has improved, i believe its slightly better now than the s21 ultra, battery life for me is like a rollercoater, some days i come out of a 10hr shift in work and ive only lost 15% and other days i lose nearly 45% so i cant explain what happens on certain days
I had the s21u and in the beginning it was the same or a bit worse on some days...Had the phone now for almost 2 weeks and compared to the s21u it's much improved. With my day to day use I could get 24 hours max on a charge with about 4 hours sot. With s22u I get with the same usage patterns at least 36 hours on a charge with 6 hours sot....There are some days of heave use with camera/video recording that it would last at the most 24 hours...This includes +- 6 hours when I sleep of idling of the phone

With such a huge difference, probably the usage pattern wasn't similar at all with the S21U or it was configured differently in settings or battery in the S21U depleted a lot I would say.
Actually the usage and setup was basically the same....for some reason my battery life was mediocre on the s21u....there were days when I got better battery life, but that didn't happen that often
Terrible compared to the S21U
This is my S22 ultra. My pixel 4a was better. Any recomendations what to do ? I have performed the factory reset yesterday and again google services are draining the battery.

Debloat LISTS - S22 Ultra Series
Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones. I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary...
forum.xda-developers.com
With this Combination you get at least 30% more Battery Life or even double or more.
Just don't be a Victim Noob of preinstalled Software. lol.
I am getting similar battery life when Im not using my Galaxy Watch4. Syncing with the watch seemed to have been killing my battery much faster. Of course I havent reconnected the watch yet for like a week already because of that. It is possible it is a coincidence that the battery life improved at the same time I got tired of wearing the watch all the time.
So far the poll suggested that S21U had better batterylife.
Some web reports suggest that after installing the GOS disabling update("AVC9" build) the batterylife has improved. This is not mentioned in the changelog. Take it with a pinch of salt, install the update and observe if it's actually true..
Mine isn't bad. The pic shows 5h50m SOT with 37% battery remaining. My brightness slider is at around 33%. I've debloated a bunch of system apps with ADB and also I've used deep sleep on all apps I don't need notifications from #exynos

Could you use the phone only over 4G (No Wi-Fi) for a day and update the SOT and total runtime screenshot here (on 100 to 1% drain)? Thanks.
Im busy to check for you

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?

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.

Hello,
I've sold my S7 and bought a Pixel phone because of updates and design. It is very elegant phone and very very fast. But I've got a problem, battery life sucks seriously.
Here's some screenshots.
Because it is a new Pixel, don't think there is a faulty. I did Geekbench 4 battery benchmark and got 1700-2000 points and got over 162k Antutu.
Is it normal? Should I roll back to Nougat? Or else I will send it back and Pixel XL. I cannot afford Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL.
Rolling back to Nougat will do nothing good. Did you buy a new Pixel or an used one?
Same here. Bought a used Pixel 128 GB model last week that provides only 3 hours of SOT with normal usage (browsing, music, videos).
It's on Oreo 8.1 with latest security patch and NFC, location turned off. Still no good.
Excluding gaming, for chrome browsing, reddit, YouTube and Instagram plus a few other misc apps, I get approximately 3.5 hours on data and 4+ on wifi. Rma brand new set from Oct 17.
SD 820 is not really known for its battery efficiency vs the 835.

Your first 5 apps listed are using about 50% of your battery. On my pixel XL I could easily get 8 sot if I wanted. You should look for ways to reduce battery useage, like battery optimization and limiting power to apps not in use. What does the acc battery app say your battery health is? My battery preformed better after installed dp2, but was very good before installing dp2, it just got better.
I've got 100% battery health. Now I get 3-4 SOT, 10-14 hours standby. It is not the best, but it's ok.
How can you limit power to apps not in use? You mean deactivating background process? I did that already.

That doesn't sound particularly bad. I normally end a day on about 20-30% with 3 hours of screen time or so. I know it's a bit of a cliche, but it really is hard to compare two setups like for like. Even SOT is not a great measure because if you watch a 2 hour downloaded movie on Netflix with low screen brightness (for example) that will consume A LOT less power than playing a game or browsing the web for 2 hours... but both will just show on battery stats the same. Let's not get into whether you are a user of Google location services (for things like Google fit or Assistant etc), or streaming Podcasts over bluetooth...
Some people have already reported better battery life on Android P - though I take that with a slight pinch of salt as every Android release supposedly did that already.
I upgraded from my SD S10 to Note 20 Ultra Dual Sim Exynos couple weeks ago and Im getting dismal battery performance with about 2h35 to 3h15 of SoT, and I noticed the standby drain is pretty bad.
Before judging me: Yes I am fully aware of the whole Exynos 990 v Snapdragon thing, but because I couldnt get my hand on a dual sim N20U with SD so I settled with the exynos version, which I have seen people claiming getting about 5 hours of SoT vs. over 6 hours of SoT on the SD, and I would totally happy with 5 hr considering my usage. But barely getting over 3 hours of SoT is just plain stupid considering the price I paid for it.
I love everything else on the N20U, but having to carry around a power bank all the time is really annoying. Is anyone experiencing the same issue and any luck on fixing this? I am not sure if it is a software issue.
P/S: I attached a couple of screenshots for Battery Usage and Gsam Battery report. I did just reset my phone yesterday to see if the performance improves, no luck. I also did all the battery optimization settings + limit all background usage on all unnecessary app, including facebook and other social media apps..
I have the same phone, and i have the same problems... 2-3 Sot maximum. And i hate it.
If i turn off adaptive screen, turn down to minimal resolution and turn on battery saving only the standby drain gets better. The sot stays the same.
Every unnecessary app is in deep sleep, so nothing much more that I can do.
But if you find something out for a solution please share.
Until then I have to carry a powerbank also.
I considered to sell it and buy a pixel 5 , but the Note20U price dropped brutally, so it would be a waste to sell it.
Stay strong !

I dont know how are people claiming 5 hours of SoT for the Exynos version. I realized most of the claims were made back when it was running One UI 2.5. Not much reviews on battery life on One UI 3 so I am thinking it is software-related. Waiting for samsung to release 3.1 for N20U.
I use the phone to take notes a lot since I am on the go most of the time. I also do some recreational video editing on the phone and it is serving me well. It is unfortunate that the battery is performing like ****
Main is remaining for more than 10 hours of SOT without playing games, 7 to 8 hours while heavy gaming

Yes it's Exynos android 11 UI3, most of the time on power saving mode, usual settings nothing new screen always 60hrz, window animation .5, apps not in regulars use always on sleeping mode, stop Sync but need apps, stop receiving notification but for used apps, using ad block, standard display mode, wifi throttling, multicore packet schedule and other option can reduce battery consumption
Stop using third party apps speacialy for system tweaks after that use battery calibration to get the best battery consumption, screen shot taken just now
4g owners, is there solution for root android 11?
Anyone done?
After a month of using the note 20 ultra 4G exynos 990, I decided to swap it for a 5G snapdragon 865+ version. Got a good deal for trading in my 4G so I pulled the trigger.
Same exact app setup and usage, minimal battery saving tweaking => I managed to get 5+ hours of SoT right out of the bat! One UI 3.0. That's a whole 2 extra hours of SoT on the first day of usage and I believe it's gonna get better over time.
I upgraded to the S22 Ultra from an S20 FE 5G.
Is it normal to burn through 30% battery use with an hour and 30 mins of screen on time primarily scrolling through old FB messages on messenger, and friends lists (no videos, few photos). Brightness was at 25%. Extra dim is on, extra brightness is off. WQHD+ on. Adaptive motion smoothness on.
It feels like this phone burns through the battery much much faster than my S20 FE.
Switched over to tiktok and was on it for 4 minutes with the same settings. I went from 40% to 36% in just 4 mins.
There are other threads that address this same topic. Battery life is something that with these new devices take a while to get "to the point". Battery and system need about a week to learn your usage pattern and determine how to distribute power (as I have read). I got my device yesterday and it's still to early to issue an honest opinion on the battery life, I don't complaint at this moment as I know it will take a while for this to "calibrate" to my usage and needs.
btw TikTok will always drain more battery as you are basically streaming video on a huge ass screen so it is a power consuming task.
I find battery life generally poor to awful. I'm on 5th day. No change. No draining apps. Nothing unusual.
Same with me. Got my device on Monday.. now im finally seeing how much usage i will get on a full charge.
100% - 17hrs remaining. Sigh.
That March update needs to come quickly. Most of us had this same issue last year with the s21 ultra when it launched.

It doesn't take a week. It takes 2-3 days to learn patterns. Or are you saying after it learns your patterns it takes a few additional days. My s22 ultra stopped giving me the learning patterns message after two days, and it predicted I would have 17 hours of battery life. I ended up having about 12. The battery life on this phone is abysmal. I had atleast a day on the s21 ultra. Even the people showing high amounts of screen on time, are only getting about 18 hours. That is not a day, that's still short 6 hours. Something is seriously long with the battery consumption. Oh, and I have a snapdragon which is supposed to be better, but clearly snapdragon has done a terrible job with this year's chip as far as heat and battery efficiency.
Most people require 6-8 hours of sleep to function in the real world so 18 hours battery life will satisfy 95% of users.

Based on past experiences (N20U and S21U) after it "learned" it still worked on optimizing performance. I have not experienced heating issues on Snapdragon S22U. Battery is not bad, could be better of course, but then again, I think it matches S21U in how much it lasts.

Fair enough, but why are we making excuses for Samsung. I've had an s7 edge, an S10 plus, and S20 ultra, and S21 Ultra and now this one. All of those versions were exynos which were worse than Snapdragon on battery life, and all gave me over a day of battery life.
Are we seriously giving Samsung a pass because a person doesn't stay up for 18 hours?
As I mentioned mine isn't even that high. After learning patterns, mine said 18 hours. I ended up getting 12 hours on that day. Inexusable. This is a snapdragon variant that I have.

I'm not giving it a pass at all as I havent received mine yet. However if I find it's performance unacceptable I'll simply return it for refund and get on with my life.
If you optimize it, it is the same.
Go to app info and set apps as restricted battery usage.
Also turn off apps on Usage Data Access.
Change to LTE if you are on wifi at home, set a routine.

Good point, Samsung stated the 4nm chipset improved "efficiency" by 30% which implies battery life would improve significantly. Samsung's touted a number of specs for the S22 which have failed to materialize.
In my experience with Samsung phone's I find that even after the initial learning phase has concluded the battery tends to drop pretty fast from 100% to around 75% and then stabilises.

I'm interested in the battery difference between iphone 13 pro max and s22 ultra. I now take out with s22 ultra 5-6 hours of screen on time max but in fhd +. If I play pubg, it takes 3 and a half hours without stopping. Is the battery difference so big for the heavy user? Can someone give me some screen statistics on time in heavy use, in games but also in normal use youtube, instagram, fb ... I'm thinking of returning s22 ultra and taking 13 pro max because I'm not very satisfied with the battery s22 ultra. But if the difference is 1 hour then it's not worth the exchange ... I am very dissapointed. I paid $ 1500 for a phone and charged it 2x a day. I do not agree to compromise at 1500% I want to receive what I paid. 120hz -wqhd ... I barely have 5-6 hours screen on time with all apps in deep sleep, 30-40 brightness, fullhd +, location off, 5g off .. Is there any solution ?? this is the exynos variant. Except for the battery, the phone is superb.

I get similar results using the exynos variant. My phone uses 20-25% battery per hour for things like social media (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat) and browsing/YouTube (FHD+ 120fps). I've seen people getting more than 6 hours screen-on-time with S22 Ultra, but I don't understand how they achieve it. The phone is great, but I am pretty disappointed by the battery life.

Thanks for the confirmation. For me, it looks power consumption optimization issues, either hardware, software, or both. Let's hope that software optimization helps in the future

The thing is that I've been using an S21 Ultra until last month (for the last 5 months). Its battery life was similar with the S22 Ultra I am using now, but slightly worse. I was intrigued by such poor battery life and I brought it to the Samsung Service (device was under warranty). After 2-3 days of service time, they fully refunded my S21 Ultra and I upgraded to the S22 Ultra. I really don't know what to think now, if this battery usage on my S22 Ultra is normal or if there are any problems with it....I can get with it through one day, but, again, I am intrigued that others are getting much better battery life results than me (about 10-15% per hour of screen-on-time).
I think most people on here are getting better battery life due to app usage, debloating, deep sleeping apps and dark mode with amoled wallpapers. I also believe that the device care doesn't give accurate screen on time. Sometimes i would use my device for 10min and when i check screen on time it doesn't refresh immediately.
We have to remember that this panel is brighter and a lot more vivid that what we've had before.
My suggestion if you're not into doing a device reset. Uninstall and then reinstall your apps.
I did this with Facebook and i have seen an improvement. Also i keep seeing apps that are recommended for sleep due to high battery usage and you wont believe some of the apps.
Guys, just monitor and keep all your apps up to date.

Going through your apps and weeding out those that burn through your battery is very important. As an example, I was using Google News app perusing some articles for about 30-40 minutes. Since I use DuckDuckGo with app tracking I later found that during that 1 session the Google News app sent 1401 tracking messages behind the scene. Lots of apps do these types of things and more, especially social media apps.
