Hi Guys, had the S8+ for a almost a week now, and i'm not really sure about the battery life considering my usage and settings:

AOD is off

Sync is off

Black theme with black wallpapers

FHD+

Exynos variant

No fb app or messenger, mainly using the device to text on whatsapp and browse chrome

No NFC or BT

Reception is good at work and at home

Getting about 4-5 hours of SoT, while some are getting 6-8+ hours of SoT. Suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Symphony0fLife:
A LOT of it depends on how the phone is used. Do you have it on standby a lot? or is it in your hand all day being used? You get more SOT when the phone is used constantly, and less if it spends more time idle on the desk or in your pocket. When I get the 8-10 hours SOT it spends less than an hour standing by meaning it's used almost CONSTANTLY through the day. When I have it idling/standing by a lot my SOT is more like 5 or 6 hours. Do you watch many videos? Game? It all varies. Let us know how you use the phone and we'll be better able to tell you if it's normal or not.

AOD and the resolution have negligible impact on battery life. All the tests I have seen (and my own experience) shows it to matter less than you'd think. In fact, I was getting an average of about 10 minutes worth of difference with AOD and WQHD on. So 10 minutes less SOT isn't worth turning them off (for me). All the tests I've seen done by reviewers show it mattering so little it's not worth turning them off as well, unless you're trying to squeeze literally every possible second out of the phone.

But again, it varies. How you use your phone and different variables throughout your day will make things different for you than they are for me or anyone else. They should be vaguely similar if the usage is similar but a number of things can affect it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohanadr:
Hey buddy,

I don't play any games and i barely watch a video or two on youtube.

Yesterday my phone lasted for 25 Hours with 5+ SoT. I've seen members with a phone lasting that long with more SoT. thoughts ?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] akira888:
Mate, I beg to differ lol.

With AOD, my battery was depleting at least 40% faster lol.

With AOD on, when i was back home from work, only 12% left. Now with it off, at least 50% left when I got home
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] yash92duster:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohanadr:
Hi guys, a quick update; I'm connecting to Wifi whenever i'm home or at work, and the battery is draining way slower than on 3G/4G and 9 hours of SoT look pretty realistic now.

Is there a way to counter the 3G/4G drain?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bhuvan9111:
I was preparing for my exams which includes reading pdf's warching youtube videos as guides,etc and i topped out almost 12hrs sot with 12and half hrs or so phone on time. But with tough usage i usually get around 7-9hrs sot over 1 day or so usage.

Below are some mixed usage screenshots. I am very impressed with my device.

I have a exynos s8+

What's the point you're trying to make? I wasn't trying to make a point ,I was just showing certain people they bought a crap device

thats pretty bad considering it has 5100 mah battery i would expect to see more in the way of usage compared to the the galaxy s8 + i get around 15 hours and about 12 hours sot that has bad openisation for a big battery
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] netengineer:
So you are at 5% and off the charger for 15 hours?

You also have to factor in how fast this phone is and how amazing the display is.

Also, the only thing I disabled on my phone was the lockout app.

Also forgot, I have an 8+ and it has a 3500mAh battery where your phone has a 5000mAh battery.

If I were you I really wouldn't be chuckling... ?

Oh I apologize, the sub menu threw me off. You are correct the 15 hours is screen time. I have to say that is impressive than.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you have your phones screen on for 15 hours out of 24 hours?

Watching YouTube ,streaming twitch and playing KI on Xbox at the same time I just left it streaming as I was listening to a streamer talk ,forums, movies fast and furious 8 /guardians of galaxy 2 ,ect I woke up at 6am and didn't go too sleep till the next day at 8am because I'm a beast and can do that ?

That is impressive battery life.

Battery came at 51% out of the box. Set it up around 2pm, did a fresh install setting up all my apps etc, making sure all the settings are in order, did around 45 minutes of music streaming, watched some youtube videos to see what the display is like and it's so nice!! Set up the iris/fingerprint scanner, deleted some of the unwanted apps. All this was on LTE mind you no wifi.

Phone was down to 2% by 5pm, plugged it in and it fully charged by around 6.15. It is now 9.15 and I have done some more tinkering with the phone, some more streaming, taken some photos and I am only down to 76%.

Results look promising, especially with the quoted battery wear as 4x less than current phones!

I wont be using Always on display and NFC in future, so i guess i will get better battery life even tho even these results are fine for me.

EDIT: usage: youtube, reddit, web browsing, UBER like app (heavy gps usage), a bit of camera, lot of general tinkering with settings on phone, facebook, instagram, about 10 calls around 10-15mins talk time total, some messaging apps.

Not had a chance to fully test the phone since I got it on the weekend, only at work where I get in at 8.30, have it at my desk but working so not using it much only the odd social media and emails throughout the day, then an hour on it at lunch and finish the day at 5 with about 70% left with hour and half sot.

Pretty happy with that considering it spends most the day not using any sot. On WiFi and full 4G at work

I never do transfers. This ain't apple where they don't have fragmentation as much as Android. I don't even trust going from gs7 to gs8. Just do auto restore through Google . Only thing you lose is messages if you use Google drive and Gmail for Contact​, google photos

Also I always do factory reset for new phones.
