I had the regular s7 before and upgraded to the exynos variant s9, and it is true that battery life during the first week or two is not adequate. Battery life has improved much and overall it's still a great device compared to other devices out there. Yes, I do wish the battery capacity is larger and Samsung do further optimizations to get battery life on par with the snapdragon variant it isn't the worse and I'm able to get a full day out of it. Honestly if you can wait, wait for the s10. The new 7nm chips and rumored higher battery capacity should make a killer device. But you can't go wrong with the s9 believe me. Other devices out there are flawed one way or another and the touchwiz experience is honestly approaching perfection, yes it was terrible years back but now it's way better than stock android in my opinion.

In the screenshot below, the power saving mode only has decreased 10% screen brightness only. No other altered settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
This is what I'm talking about.

Battery tests, even in-depth semi-scientific analyses are all over the place and inconclusive. It is true that battery life is very user dependant but there should be a common theme all across the board. However, I don't see anything like that. I can't dealt with this for 2 years. I cancelled my order and will wait for a better deal on the S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachinfan:
So , it seems , my reaction to the anandtech review was spot-on. S9 , irrespective of the cpu variants, is still a great device and we must not confuse ourselves with too much information where none is reqd.

God willing, I should be getting my hands on the s9 in early May.

Oh the stories we tell ourselves in order to avoid changing our minds.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
See, this is what i was expecting, S9+ to give similar performance to S8+ & S7e.

But reading people's reports from India showed some people were struggling. They happen to be quite vocal about it as well.

Here's a reviewer i follow who does a better job with battery reviews than most. Battery reviews are his forte. Yet this is the first time i see him struggling to get a fix on battery with the S9. Battery life on the exynos S9 isn't as consistent as its predecessors. His experience matches user reports

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] madnav:
Did not go through the entire video but I had to stop and point this out.

He reviewed S9 Exynos (not S9+), he got around 5.5Hr SOT with brightness set manually to 70% and at QHD+ resolution.

His network strength also seems poor.

Maybe we have a different opinion about what a good battery life means but that SOT is pretty good in my opinion. I used to get 4-5Hr SOT on S8+, a little lesser or almost similar on S8.

You can check the battery endurance I get on this XDA post.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
yes S9 because we are in the S9 forum :D

He was unable to repeat that performance his averages were 4h after. The S8 & S7 would average 5-6h consistently on wifi, add an hour extra for the bigger variant. All predictable and to expectations

I prefer to set a baseline first. That is with wifi only as anybody can replicate that kind of behaviour with normal use to within a half hour

Data skews things, unless you have a good signal, less congested network and are on a 3 digit band which is not possible in India. SOT's on data will invariably be 1-2h less than wifi

Baseline for the s8+ is 6.5h SOT on wifi, similar for S7e. Half hour extra is fine

Nobody talks baselines in these battery threads so it becomes near impossible to know what is good or not

Way i look at it is

3-4h mediocre

4-5h average

5-6h ok

6+ good

8+ excellent

No flagship does 8h+, but its possible with 600 series snapdragons

This is under heavy use btw which i define as kill it (down to 5%) in 12h or less run time. FHD resolution because its been shown that it can save upto an 1h SOT compared to QHD which nobody needs on a phone with a screen this small anyway. Heavy use meaning lots of tap tap and screen redraws. Light to medium use won't see as much savings between qhd & fhd

How much time on data ?

If its wifi then you have normal S9+, comparable with S8+ or s7e.,Again this is what i'm expecting but others are having trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] nitrous²:
After reading more reviews I was finally ready to make a final decision. I settled for the Pixel 2 XL 128GB. So long, Samsung. Been using it since the original S1. Hit a nice deal and am happy as never before.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheIronLefty:
Yes one flagship does 8hr sot and its Called the Essential Phone if u didnt know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] didoop:
I got s9+ 7 days before international release date (slovakia, europe) - so after this anandtrch article popped on my chrome suggested articles, i was very shocked. But i hope thst samsung will try to fix at least something - i already got 3 OTA updates and actually battery seems to me better than s7 edge. And even temperature when gaming is alot better than s7 edge. Also - 6 gigs of ram and that lovely stereo sound are great upgrades. Of course, you cannot modify s9+ due to losing warranty which is bigger priority. Also that single core performance is still great.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] android17and18:
I havent experience any lag issues on my s9 exynos except to this crappy facebook app , like others said in depends on the user day to day task , whatever you say we cant deny that samsung got the best screen in mobile market atleast they didnt come up with the notch thing" i dont really understand this notch trend :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cirnocirno:
Is the battery life still bad?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] android17and18:
Battery is average but if you compare to iphone ios 11 the iphone is clear winner they improve a lot in battery category
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cirnocirno:
I got the phone and have played around with it.

Compared to my Xperia XZ1 , the battery life is HORRIBLE, just plain HORRIBLE

SOT without any changes is 3 hours and 20 min compared to the previous 7 hours and 50 min.

If I change the S9 to run on lower settings and screen resolution plus brightness, then I get 4 hours and 40min compared to the previous 9 hours and 10 min.

I play a lot of games, A LOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
Then lets tell Samsung to fix their s**t. It's laughable.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I also got the XZ1C. Best battery life ever.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] cirnocirno:
You're totally right, the only reason I am with the S9 is the carrier deal I got for this phone, it was too good to be true. Plus I can't live without AMOLED screen, too good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sora94:
I am not facing battery problems with my exynos S9+ but it's not up there for a 1000 euro flagship.

Regarding the 9810 issues I am cautiously optimistic that Samsung will optimize the chip in the upcoming months because note 9 supposedly has the same exact SOC, I doubt they want a follow up to the battery complaints.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pagantek:
Well, I haven't seen anything about this here, (my search-fu might not be polling the right keywords) but this is bad news ya'll. The more that I research into this, the more that I see that Samsung chose to remove this feature. It is available on other Oreo devices (not Samsung's though, s8 s8+ users are affected after oreo update as well.) I tried Textra, and I can change the tone for the conversation, but that's hacky, not totally effective for group chats, and it is not sending or receiving all of my messages. I hate the single ringtone.

Anyone else frustrated by this?

I'm equally annoyed by this. As many are from what I can find on other sites. Beyond me as to why Samsung decided to remove features. ? hoping for a fix soon on the native messaging app. I'll pass on 3rd party.

The OP is talking about assigning a specific tone to each individual contact, so you know who's texting you without looking.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] HamBone625:
I too am not thrilled with this because I want to use the Samsung messaging application for its integration on the phone and on my s3 watch go figure text notifications don't work as smoothly on the watch when your not using the Samsung messaging application. Seems specifically due to oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrClean69:
I beta tested the S8+ Oreo and requested this feature. They said that not all features may be included in the Beta but may show up in the final release. I was skeptical and it appears they did do away with it. It was one of my favorite features, I hope they bring it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pagantek:
I've checked out a bunch of apps, and I can custom assign tones to conversations (its not the contact that gets the tone) but that gets confusing on multicontact conversations. I setup a group sms chat with the family, but now its 1 tone for the conversation, rather than each person with their own tone. Very Frustrating. Hoping that the feature comes back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrClean69:
The new android messages now allows custom conversation notifications, but it's not like the setting in contacts. But it is better than nothing and I'll keep hoping Samsung includes it in a later update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] HamBone625:
Is this in the stock message application? How did you set it per coversation?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] DLD23:
Just do it twice and it will set
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
Do what twice? There's no place in the Samsung app, or in Samsung contacts, to set a message tone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pagantek:
No, only can set custom conversation tones in apps like Textra and Chomp. The stock app only uses the default text sound (or the one that is set globally)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pagantek:
Not sure what you mean, but I have done lots of things twice, and still no custom sms/mms tones per contact.

The only other way to do it would be if someone ported the HW 2 rom to the HW 1 like was done with one of the Samsung Gear watches, but the HW 2 and 1 have totally different SoCs so I doubt that would work.
