Dear users, who has already the phone, please, give some details about the real battery life including the SOT.

Please note the processor type too.

Thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
Ha ha I am not paid. I really didn't think it would be this good. And I don't have the screen turned down about 85%. I turned off some apps from running in the background. My Bluetooth stays on all the time because I use it in my car and to get in my house. That was day 2 let's see how day 3 goes. I have never gotten this good of SOT on any phone. 3 to 5 at the best.

That post was a true battery life and SOT. Full 2nd day.

Dude it makes zero Effin sense why i can't make it to 8hrs of screen on time on regular use but then the fake paid xda users post 10hrs of screen on time...makes me sad i just wanna slam this phone against my living room sink and start my own car company, to then make enough money to invest in scientist that will figure out how to get 10hrs of screen on timeeee!!!!! Da faughkkkkk!!!! I'm gonna rip my friendship bracelets off and thru them at my dads blobber fish collection! I hate being in this room and not being able to crack at least 8hrs of screen on time..even if i go out to a drink or out windowshopping all day i cant crack 8hrs!!! and I'm on FHD+ not even on the highest resolution..BIXBY DISABLED!!!!!

Please stop acting like a 2 year old entitled spoiled BRAT!

If you started asking for help like a normal person you would of gotten help but instead you acted like a 2 year old spoiled BRAT and calling everyone a fake XDA user and throwing tantrums and saying I'm going to smash my phone, etc... (Just like a 2 year old!)

Personally there is nothing wrong with your phone it's the user fault!

You are just a troll!

Really if you wanted a phone with good battery life you should of gone with s8+ or the Galaxy A9 pro with it's 5000 mAh battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Slicktune22:
I made a very detailed post and no one cared!!! I only had 2 days left to return and now i CANT!!!!!!!!! HOW DO U THUNK I FEEL BLUE? HOW?!?!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lennie:
my signal strength is pretty good almost full bars.

AFAIK the less signal bars you have is the more power your phone will use because the system is built to probe for higher or better signal when its too low. so your phone is probably killing itself trying to find a better signal.

but 45% in 5 hours and ONLY 2 hours of sot........sounds crazy. your battery usage seems to have an almost uniform slant though as if it's being constantly used except for what seems to be a 30 or 45 minute break.

yesterday I was notified that I had an app in the background using over 1% per hour, which means that even when my phone screen is off this app was still using power. not acceptable for me so killed that app instantly and now I start making sure every time I finish with that app I kill it. anyway, I say that to say this: multiple apps might be using your phone without your knowledge, as in if 5 apps are using 1% per hour each...that's about 5% or so battery gone doing nothing. I also keep an eye on app "stay awake" times too to see which apps keep my phone awake while the screen is off. use Pandora while at work with screen off so I know that it will keep my phone from sleeping while streaming and playing music, but if the 1st or 3rd keyboard has "stay awake" time then something is wrong with that keyboard (or it's doing something it's not supposed to). the way how android is setup means i can't trust no apps so I check memory foot print and data usage apps that have no business using background data gets uninstalled or restricted.

anyway, have you backed up your data and try hard resetting your phone already?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] wk0308:
I did not do a hard reset.... May I shall try to search and do a hard reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lennie:
a couple questions:

have you backed up your data and hard reset your phone yet?

do you let it completely die before you start charging again?

what apps your use mostly? have you checked their stay awake times?

I'll tell you that 30 hours with almost 7 hours of sot isn't bad at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] wtharden:
Data all day....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Slicktune22:
I reset it the first time i got it, i even did wipe partition 3 times and i factory reset it and no i haven't fully backed up this time around.

Yes i let it discharge down to 5% then start charging

Apps used mostly are whatsapp, feedly, tapatalk, YouTube, Instagram

30hrs with 6and a half hrs does sound great but most ppl are getting that with 2k resolution and bixby on... unless they are trolling, in running mine with Bixby disabled and 1080p res..... So ishould at least get to surface 7hrs.. but i have failed, do you suggest resetting again?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Really dumb question, which uses less battery. Wifi for data or network for data? Of not withstanding a weak signal. Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] DANOFDANGER:
Manage to get 4 hours and 25 mins with full brightness before the red and full resolution.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] borijess:
I don't know what kind of magic Samsung has done with this battery life on this Phone. I had and Axon 7 and could not get 3 hours of screen on time. This phone has 48 percent left today and I am close to 4 hrs screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] RojasTKD:
So far I've consistently had about 8+ hours of use with about 3 hours and 10 minutes of screen on time at the 50% battery Mark.

If I use my car charger to and from work out should never go below 70% on a typical day.

Easily the best battery performance I think I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] DANOFDANGER:
You guys need to provide brightness and resolution settings. Without it the data is useless, could have it on 1 percent btightness for all we know.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] RojasTKD:
For me either auto brightness or just under 50% brightness (geared for indoor use).

Funny you mention that. I don't like fun screens drive me nuts. Most people I know usually have their agenda really dim trying to extend their battery (often iPhone users) and it drives me nuts.

Normally I set my phone manually to a nice brightness for indoors (where I usually use my phone) because auto tend to make it dim for my liking.

With the not 8 I can set it to auto then turn it up a bit and it seems to stay there unless it need to turns itself up for outdoor conditions. So I go back and forth and haven't decided yet which to go with, but I never keep it dim. What's the use in having a nice high end device if your always keeping the screen turned super dim, yuck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] DANOFDANGER:
Only had the device for a few days now but my battery life has improved. I have extrapolated plenty of data submitted on the internet and my current results match others. With full resolution and full brightness short of the red, 5 hrs of screen on time at %15 is on PAR. I would likely get 6 hrs down to 0. If i ran the phone non stop without standby after charging i would likely reach 7hrs+ like some of the battery test videos out there. Going beyond 7hrs will require a reduction in brightness or processor speed. As far as i have seen from peoples results, the majority who get more than 7 hrs have a lower brightness value, this shows from the calculated battery consumption vs screen on time.

The reason for the improved battery efficiency is from the software, if your results vary then you need to seriously look in this area.

Results from my Note 8 SM-N950F Duo (Exynos model)

https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/1506339840125CWv2hzP

*I can't figure how to add attachments on here*

Currently using one sim card only.

Settings:

-Data off all the time

-Wifi on all the time (my VPN is on all the time as well, VPN sucks a lot of battery on my LG V20)

-WQHD all the time

-Auto brightness all the time

-Blue light filter scheduled 12hr/day

-Always on display scheduled 4:00 PM to 1:45 AM

-Bluetooth on most of the time, connected to AKG portable speaker at times and Samsung Fit Gear whenever bluetooth is on.

Apps:

Nova Launcher

-Bixby voice on all the time

-Substratum to make everything look black (can't get the notification bar to go black)

-BK Disabler

-Greenify

-Modified Swiftkey to have true black keyboard themes

-Bixby button modifier

-Whatsapp/twitter/spotify/instagram etc

-Samsung internet beta. Love this browser and it barely uses any battery, the night-mode is just amazing and you now can swipe the address bar to switch between tabs.

Loved the battery life on my Note 7 (had Snapdragon version, didn't like the speed of the phone though) and so far I am not disappointed with the battery on the Note 8.

As of today, I turned the screen resolution to FHD+ to see how much more battery I can get.

An extended update on the battery life performance. Check out that overnight discharge, or lack of discharge i should say. I performed a battery calibration as my calculated battery consumption was only summing to around 3000mah, after the calibration it become 3300mah.

If i drained it to zero i could quite easily have seen +6 hours screen on time, thats with full brightness and resolution on max. One thing to take note on is that if the android system, android OS or device idle use more than 200 mah each, this is going to affect total battery performance. Any apps that use considerably more power than either of these also, will depreiciate the battery faster. My daily usage is ultimately youtube and web browsing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] s629c:
AOD off, running full res all day, watched videos, Bluetooth always on, use of Snapchat and used at caps various brightness including some time outside. GPS was used for half hour commute. Pretty satisfied today. Yesterday I got about 5 hours till 8%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Th30n1:
Guys doas this look good normal to you guys I got the phone phone yesterday in the morning I used to a bit. It got to 3 % turn it off wait till I got home charge It to 100% turn it on install my apps theme tried some substratum them as a couple restarts. When to sleep woke up finish installing another 4 apps. Like 5 minutes of youtube max quality HDR ENABLE. Brightness was on auto in he might. Now I have I set to 80% max resolution on this is why I'm getting. Is it because it's the first charge do you think it will get better?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] matt.b.powell:
Whats the best battery monitoring app? I had ****ty battery life, so I reinstalled my phone and the battery life was awesome easily went over 5 hours SOT... A week or so later, back to ****ty battery life. I hardly have any apps (84) and all are pretty common apps. I have been trying AccuBattery but its pretty useless, all its estimates don't at all lineup, I don't want to have to reinstall my phone every few days just to get reasonable battery life. I've tried cache clearing and letting the battery fully cycle. Obviously the phone's capable of the correct battery life and there must be something on my phone that's draining it. My S8 with all the same apps (and more) got consistently 4+ hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lennie:
check the apps "stay awake" times...those are the ones using battery in the background while preventing your phone from deep sleeping
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] matt.b.powell:
Thanks for this, currently my Samsung battery stat shows that Android System is the second largest power consumer at 1h 5m Stay Awake., the phone has been on for 5 hours and down to 38%. SOT is 2 hours 25 Min. So apparently android system is the culprit? HOw do I determine what about my system is causing this issue? The included packages list is pretty long...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Slicktune22:
Same here my android system usage is high AF.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] rowdyruffbrick:
Getting pretty bad battery life. Current batt is at 32% with 3 hours of SOT. WQHD with brightness way lesser than half. On 4g Lte, with some substratum themes, couple of bloatware disabled with package disabler, system UI animation changed as well. Any idea why I'm having such torrid battery life? Really worried. T mobile but unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Slicktune22:
That's because your real and not a paid samsung/see user, shieeeet if I was getting paid I'd have the 7hr of screen on time with 24+ hrs of idle time on WQHD...But since I'm not then I have FHD+ with just 18hrs of idle time with only 6hrs of screen on time and Bixby disabled completely.

Not paid, not a Samsung bot.

Here's what i got so far now at 50% Battery life!

Thanks for any advice you can give.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
I get between 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 everyday. Depending on what I do. I have never gotten under 5 1/2 of SOT. Best phone I have ever had. Just wish it was 3.0 QC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Th30n1:
Quick update I had to factory reset and man I love this phone now. After reseting battery life has improved a LOT. Before the factory reset I was chaging my phone to 100% unplging it going to sleep when I woke up it was already at 92% that drove me crazy by the time I was getting 2 hours screen on time phone was at less then 50% battery. Now after factory reset re install all my apps. Updated them through playstore. Updated all Samsung apps through Samsung apps store. downloaded bk disabler disable same apps as before. Install a theme through Samsung app store. install subtratum to theme the rest of Google apps. I been browsing internet for a while. Full screen resolution screen brightness between 25 to 50. I'm at 72% now with 2 hours and 20 minutes SOT. A big improvement over before. Oh by the way u have the unlocked version.

UPDATE: iPhone is at 5% Now and i have 6 hours 30 minutes SOT. LOVE this improved battery life after factory reset

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Craniotomy:
I'm on U.S. t-mobile note 8, i find know how you guys get 6 or more hours soft, and still have more than 15-18 hours left on the battery. I've had the phone for 2 weeks only. Any suggestions? Should i have it changed to a newer one? Or factory reset?

I have 3 email sync every hour, weather now sync every 1 hour, Facebook every hour(uninstalled trying out metal), hd widgets every hour sync. I play games but usually a total of 3hrs sir. Turned off edge panels/lighting and aod, resolution at wqhd+, brightness at around 55%, Wi-Fi on unless I leave the house, Bluetooth on, location on, iris scanner on but I'm turning it off now. Blue light filter scheduled at night time only. I browse online, eBay app, 3-6 calls, sms a few, mms rarely.

Excellent battery life been using it for 2 weeks. I don't use Package disabler or any battery monitoring apps. Location high accuracy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] wtharden:
Which app are you using for package disabling?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
That game is killing you. Even with all that stuff your SOT is not bad at all and you still have 30 something % left? You will get 6 1/2hrs of OST with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] mankvl:
I rly don't understand how ppl get 1 hour sot and still have 50%. Imo they disable the sh*t out of they phone or got a lucky device ? 6-7 hour sot is max what I get. But everything is on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] drewmey:
I guess I am just a different person but I don't even see the point of screen on times above 5 hours. Nice to have but waaaaay down on the list. Most people sleep 7-8 hours a day. That leaves 16-17 left in the day.

Do you really look at your phone for 33% of your life?!

Also, these are personal, but I would imagine everyone typically has opportunities to charge your phone during the day. For me, I have the drive to work and the drive home from work. If I really wanted to charge both ways, I could start the day at 8AM at 100% and "restart" the day at 5PM at 90ish% from charging on my way home. I can then also charge my phone any time I'm at home. I can charge my phone while I am sleeping. And for those who work at a desk or at home, there are wireless chargers that you don't even have to think about using because it is so simple.

What in the world are people doing to actually NEED 5 hrs of screen on time in a day without charging? haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] jason504:
Some people are never happy. The next generation of phones will probably get 10hrs of OST and those same people will be complaining about not getting 15 hours of OST.

Interesting that you use internet beta, I've heard others using it but I've tested both with the same websites, browsing the same info, and beta used much more cpu then the regular version. Significantly more actually, as well as more battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
Nice observation. I'm not sure about the cpu usage but it does take much more ram. It doesn't lag or anything and the overall battery life of the phone is great so I kinda don't mind it taking a bit more juice.

The reason I use the beta is because of its night mode. I use night mode all the time & it looks much much better than the stable version, imo.
