AOD off, but I use it sometimes, material dark theme from themes store, location off, android system background data off, screen brightness auto off, and that would be that. And further more, I charge the phone with old charger that has 1A output
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
The answer to your question will greatly vary from user to user, but I would say that as long as you configure properly your phone, you won't have a problem, no matter the brand or model.

Of course the phones with a lighter UI will tend to have less problems, but that doesn't meant that any with a heavy customized skin can't get a good battery life.

I use my Exynos S9+ fully, with no tweaks or adb stuff and only without AOD because is not useful for me and I'm more of a LED guy, and I'm able to reach around 2 days with a medium usage, even 3 days with light usage.

I have everything enabled the whole time (no savers or airplane mode), because I also use Google Now constantly; most of the time I'm doing +4 hrs SOT over 2 days, but I have been able to do 7-8 hrs SOT over a day. Overnight, battery usually drains 2%-3% with everything enabled and synced, and I get around 1% if I put it in airplane mode.

In terms of battery, I would say that OP6 and S9+ would get similar battery life in same conditions (configurations, signal, usage, etc).

It depends mostly of the budget and the needs you have.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
I've used the oneplus 6 for 2 weeks and returned it for a reason. Bought the oneplus 5T at launch and still have it. S9 plus Exynos using for the last few months(owned all "S" flagships earlier as well).

..

I don't like disabling features one by one or avoiding most social media apps I keep using professionally to get good batterylife either. I do disable and uninstall though what's "duplicate" in the Samsung ( like chrome, LinkedIn, email, my galaxy, one drive etc..). But then applying this also, I have never seen very good batterylife out of the galaxy "S" flagships(excluding 2 models) until and unless I go down to a level of "squeezing every bit" out of it, but certainly have seen with other flagships I play/played with. Standby battery drain hasn't been attractive either, with the s9 plus or its predecessors.

..

1. If you simply care about not disabling stuff or such and enjoy it right out of the box , go with the oneplus 6. You will never have to even think of disabling or uninstalling anything(zero bloatware and zero gimmicky services). Set it up, erase cache data in recovery and enjoy the zippy, superfast-at-everything-phone.(face unlock, FP scanner, charging speed, apps opening... )

But you will have to compromise on the camera's oil painting effect when shot at human faces (even when beauty mode is off and even though oneplus pushed out software fixes , it still shows, unpredictably).

2. Batterylife is slightly better than the s9 plus (exactly based on the type of usage I explained above and keeping AOD off) and standby drain is just about 2-3% in 8 hours in my night's sleep. Batterylife is lower than the 5T though.

3. Oneplus OTA updates bring bug sometimes.

NO IP rating,....

.... There are many more on both sides., I can go on and on. But u got your answers already based on your requirement. . :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] MiRo31285:
Good battery for me. But not the best.

I hope at next updates it will have more increased durability because android goes more and more to become lighter than bwfore..

I use all day bluetooth with gear s3 frontier.

Wifi +data always ON.

Auto brightness.

AOD screen ON.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
My phone drains 5 percent at night and much more than 1 percent on standby. What do you do to get such great battery standby?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Which phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
S9 plus, snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Okay Dude, but did you misquote? My earlier msg (that you first quoted) was about OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5T and their comparison with the Exynos S9 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
I know, I was just pointing out that my mileage on the standby time varies drastically as compared to yours.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Oh okay. Compared to which post of mine? Well, I didn't see very good standby drain out of the S9 plus(exynos I use).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Love the battery life, but holy cow makes you realize how much you spend on your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
Did you not have a sim in the phone? Why are there no data bars in your status bar?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] harry92008:
No comparison between One Plus 6 and S9+ Exynos as far as battery life is concerned. Personal experience and opinion. Had S9 plus, sold it. Now on One Plus 6. Easily lasts a day with 6 hours SOT and nothing disabled and I mean absolutely nothing. If battery life is a concern, then go for OP6 without second thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Hidden. A pointless icon lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
What do you do to get such incredible screen on time? I get barely 5 hours on a charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Yours a SD? I do have AOD turned off. other than that it's pretty much stock. Dark theme.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] IllyaK:
But why does our milage vary so much? This is my software information, up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Choeneqck:
I have a very satisfying battery life on my s9 plus

Actually, i achieved this by disabling the features i dont use. Im on QHD resolution, i always use MAX mode, i am a heavy user and i always check my phone for updates on social media and text messages. I also use spotify a lot. Despite this usage, i still got a solid battery life. Most days i got 6 to 8 hrs of SOT. When i really hit it hardcore, i got a little bit over 5 hrs of SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] UsualSuspectReaL:
Nice but you charge it.

http://prntscr.com/kdqjvl
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Yeah, probably gained 30 mins from that. Results vary
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] MrCreel:
Have you disabled anything? Any packages or such? SD or exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
This is what I've disabled. SD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] iNik123:
I get around 6 hours of SOT max on my s9 plus
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
I'm getting between about 6:30 & 7:30 SOT - I'm using notSABS to disable apps that I don't want - ie: traditional Bloat & anything to do with FB ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
How effective notSABS is in terms of batterylife gain? I'm testing the package disabler Pro(Samsung) - that's making the phone snappier across the board(obviously:)), but have a doubt on its impact on improving batterylife - - checked with/without for 7 cycles so far and getting the same batterylife.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
I've got BK Manager on my S8+ & notSABS on my S9+ I prefer the ui of BK Manager - But I don't really see any difference between the two with respect to the battery.

I'm pretty sure that both of these are better than not using either for the battery ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Second that.

..

I don't think I've even used any of the services, packages disabled by Package Disabler Pro in mine prior to using the disabler -- could be the reason behind not seeing batterylife improvements even after using the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] leoking3:
Unbelievable for a Samsung device, and I had them ALL. Look at my screenshot, with of course the same usage patterns. Did even better than Huawei P20 PRO. I sold my first S9 plus back in April, and got back to it a few days ago. Fantastic battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] djoxie:
Vacation mode. Not using it that much, but just look at that stand by time. Exynos matures quite nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Cheesus182:
This is one of those posts that make it so difficult to get a real guess as to what SoT to expect.

You probably used Reddit in the Amoled theme and have a black background. No phone with 3500mah battery does 8hrs of SoT with real world usage
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Frontfiringspeakers:
I've found that if you have full performance the battery life is poor. But switch off video enhancer, switch on battery saving, lower brightness and battery life has improved massively
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bladefrost:
I noticed better battery life on my S9+ Exynos too after the August 2018 update. It has atleast 1 hour more SOT on my usage pattern. I now get 6hrs SOT when previously I only get 5 hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Yeah, they do...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] BuPL:
I'm afraid to disable some system apps and cause stability problems. Which apps did you disable?

(I'm not using external apps, I'm using Samsung's own app manager - they let me disable only a few apps)

I'm getting like 6h SOT, bixby and google assistant's voice wake up enabled

How do you get decent battery life out of the s9 plus. I think it's terrible. I want a phone that gets me through a full day!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
Then learn how to properly configure your device:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
Maybe Search this Thread - to see what other people are doing to get their Battery life & usage to where they want it ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] mtm1401:
Have you made any serious modifications? Assuming you aren't using aeroplane mode or battery saving at any point?

I've made an effort to optimise my device but wouldn't get anywhere near those stats :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
No modifications at all or any battery savings; I just went menu by menu and option by option configuring everything like I wanted since I bought it in March.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] babyboy3265:
If you cannot get anywhere near those stats, then you must consider flashing your device and installing a new ROM and KERNEL.

I am using Soldiers ROM and Elemental X KERNEL with under clocked settings, no other modification, that combo gives me about 7h SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bassgenerator:
Impressive
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] romaniulian:
Almost 24h with exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bassgenerator:
holy sh...t
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
Was it hard to install? You first install ROM and then KERNEL?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] babyboy3265:
Well you 1st have to install TWRP, then install the ROM and after that KErnel... But it is not an easy task and as I understand you have not done this before, so I advise you see as many videos as you can about flashing your Samsung and also read trough the forums here.

It is not easy, but not too difficult once you get the hang of it, and when you do you will be glad you chose that path.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
Yeah i have read that i need Odin to install TWRP and i have watched videos and tutorials on how to install that one. Now I just dont know what custom ROM to install, Soldier or ResurrectionRemix?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] babyboy3265:
Ressurection remix might give you a bit more battery I assume. But you would have to say bye to your stock camera capabilities. Plus maybe some more trade-offs, better make sure you know what you gain and lose.

I was not ready to give away my camera and other features as thats one of the reasons I got the phone in the 1st place. So I went for Soldiers ROM. It is based on stock but much improved and it gives you the options to remove a lot of unwanted bloatware and so on. Then you can install any KERNEL to see which one you like the most. I tested all of them and I found Elemental X with under-clocked setting to last the most. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
Ah okey, yeah i really dont wanna loose this camera as its that good and could not compromise on that. I dont need rooting to get TWRP so I guess when I do a factory reset the phone gets back to normal or do I have to use a stock ROM to get it back to normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] romaniulian:
I hope you know if you want to get twrp on phone you will lose warranty forever.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
I cant uninstall it later if I need the phone to be repaired?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] romaniulian:
READ THIS BEFORE ROOTING DEVICE

- Any of below said method to root will trip knox and void warranty forever.

- As of now you will lose Samsung Pay and Secure folder forever if you root once, even unrooting won't help. (hope in future we can get it working on tripped knox device). Also you may not able to run some banking apps, but for that there are some workaround like Magisk Hide or SU hide, google it.

- To unroot device completely, simply flash Samsung stock firmware, Remember, Unrooting won't revokes warranty nor you will be able to use Secure folder/Samsung Pay. Once rooted, these feature gone for you unless some magic happen in future and may find a way to use it.

Same thing it applies if you want to put twrp on your phone.

If you want to repaired your phone you will need to pay without warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
Thanks for clarifying, then ill keep off doing that. How about if I install notSABS instead?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] romaniulian:
I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
notSABS - Adhell 3 - Package Disabler will not void the warranty or trip Knox - You're not doing anything to the boot.img ?

Sent from my SM-G965W ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nerkomessi:
Thanks all for the help. Im not comfortable to break my warranty since I bought the phone 5 days ago. Iill just disable the apps via ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] DryTornado:
this is my average working day, very very dissapointed , even tho i dont like huaweis at all, shouldve picked p 20 pro instead of s9plus. ive had mine for 3months, with qhd on and normal power mode profile i average 3.5h sot.

i have lilac purple and paint has peeled off in tiny white spots( same as iphone 7 matte black fiasco) also sometimes the phone just wont fast charge with the included charger and cable. il switch next year and never buy a samsung again.

edit: images not showing.

i have right now 6 hours sot with 20% battery left, medium powersave on , no background data usage , 70% cpu limit and screen res to hd.

watched 2h youtube, 4g always on
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
You did understand that notSABS - Adhell 3 - Package Disabler do NOT void your warranty... right? ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xcxa23:
weird..

my usage with aug patched

wqhd, 2 bar 4g, whatsapp, browsing forums, auto brightness, trading apps,

was getting 5min/1% battery lost and with aug patched, getting min 7min/1%

im impressed samsung, keep it up but FIX/IMPROVE standby drain.. without AOD, drain approximately 1%/h.. damn..

https://imgur.com/a/joltHcG
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] mtm1401:
If you aren't aware, flashing will trip Knox and prevent some apps from working (Google/Samsung pay and banking apps etc.) Also likely to void your 2 year warranty with Samsung

That Your's meaning of "cheating" is misleading for me.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] akhillad:
I was experiencing poor battery with s9+.

So decided to factory reset my phone yesterday and restored only contacts and samsung pass. But yet the battery drain is high.

Have switched off auto sync and also not yet installed all the apps that I had before factory reset.

Before sleeping I kept AOD on, killed all recent apps and no mobile data or Wi-Fi. Yet after 7hours and 30 minutes the battery drained 9%.

Watching a 10 min YouTube video drained my battery by 4% on Wi-Fi as well LTE.

Don't know whats causing this problem.

Have raised this to samsung using samsung members app. Let's see what they got to say.

Any suggestion from you guys is welcome.

Attached is my screenshot of battery usage. I unplugged at 95% of charge before performing factory reset. Not charged since then.

My SOT from Sunday. I've been using the phone all day. I think it's quite good. What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
I don't use any Wakelock block - But I do use BBS - GSam Battery Monitor & Wakelock Detector to see what's going on - I disable Stock Bloat & prevent apps from constantly refreshing - I don't use Instagram or FB (Known battery killers) & get very decent battery life ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] dxdiag:
This is my stats after 4 cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Ramsi Hartmann:
Does BBS show all the stats?

The sum of all partial wakelocks isn't equivalent with the awake time in "summary". Is there an App which shows all causes of wakeups?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
Did you stop reading after BBS? You may need to use more than one app to get the complete information - BBS - Wakelock Detector - GSam Battery Monitor are all useful tools & I don't know if you should be all that concerned about every wakelock ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Ramsi Hartmann:
Guess I did :D. Thank you!

Hopefully these apps are showing all stats, it freaks me out that my device is awake and i dont know why
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] shaggyskunk:
No worries ?

If you don't have Root - You can still disable or prevent apps from running in the background & change your settings for apps you don't want to push notifications or keep refreshing - Just be careful not to disable apps that you want to be able to run - ie: Text - Email etc ?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Apachecoj:
Hello everyone, im a hard android cellphone user and this results are based in a very specific configuration i have on my s9 plus snapdragon 845 international version 4 days of use. I use abd method for disable around 170 bloatware apps(no root need)+ black theme + gps off sync off+ background data off+ no facebook app+ i most use internet whatsapp games and youtube vanced. My conclusion based on a previous research is that 4g ofc drains more battery than wifi.

Is very important also to check google.services and ur google acc configuration since is always sending information trought ur apps to google so i recommend check for that in ur google data.

High end Games drains almost 400% fastestbattery. ( for example modern combat series, pubg, and new graphics games in 60 fps) so when i play constantly i get about 4 hours SoT

Because this device heats too much. (Around 39c) the only answer.

In this prticular day i just let my device youtube on for almost 6hours and still left 40% battery so i can easily get to 10 hours sot
