So without even trying and constantly using the phone today for summoners war (typically drains battery like crazy), some Pokémon go, web browsing, web based games, etc. I got an easy 8+ hours SOT. Check the attached. Super impressed with this battery life.. If it weren't for the 2.5+ hrs of sw I bet I could have easily hit 11+ hrs SOT. Still have some battery life to go to!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Rosli59564:
Coming from S6E, it's a big jump. Used the phone for 3yrs+ doesn't matter how I did, stock or custom it hardly getting 2hrs of sot.

Now this phone is doing it really great. With standby time for 1d+ & >7hrs of sot, really satisfied.

I don't gaming though. Just internet, whatsapp, telegram and youtube.

I bought this phone knowing that I would get an awesome battery coming from the mate 20 Pro (Gluegate :( )

as you can see an easy 9 hours of SOT and that was after 2 hours of gaming and video calling.. I could have got even better numbers

no greenify, no power saving, no always on display

I just use a black system wide substratum theme ..because BLACK_FOREVER ;-P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] RonChinoy:
I get depressed when I see these posts. Because I am lucky to get 4 hours of screen time and make it thru till the end of day. And I don't even use the phone to make calls. Just videos and a few light games.

After trying to understand this. My answer is that the 845 chip set is good. ANd the chip we got is crap. Both the 845 phones at home get better screen on time and last more than 24 hours because they have the 845 chip set.

Hi

Been using note 9, exonys for 8 days,

Full stock, settings, software) everything activated and sync now.

Getting about in heavy usage 24 hours and 6-7 hours screen time.

Normal 'work days)' I'm getting about 30 hours and 5-6 screen on.

Don't take this numbers as writing in stone (it's my own everage calculator between my ears)

Haven't done any really deepth battery test....

Now I'm gonna select stuff i wanna have activate and see the difference....

One thing I'm noticed it's what the phone use battery a little the whole time, so little bit it's drain everytime.. Not really drain but it's activate and ready to be use in background so to speak.

Ain't so much custom stuff yet and i really wanna see stock behaviour. I'm satisfied and think Samsung getting in right direction (except for Samsung direction about root ?)

Edit :

Some Screenn the last ss- and 1 hour Facebook call and normal /heavy usage during weekend

(2 days and some h is my girlfriends usage but same settings)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ramiss:
These discussions are so full of subjective variables that mean nothing. I often wish we could just assign the following to each phone to compare differences.

- battery capacity

- idle screen off power draw, stock system with no sync accounts etc, and airplane mode

- processor power draw range (min - max)

- cell system power draw range (min - max)

- wifi power draw range (min - max)

- display power draw range (min - max)

SOT has been quite good lately. Using Samsung's browser over Chrome certainly helps. If I really wanted to, I could probably pull 10 hours SOT with a few tweaks. I average 5-6 hours.

I have the Snapdragon version, and have the resolution set to QHD+ with location settings and bluetooth on. Also have a dark theme installed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
My screen off time discharging has increased in android 9. Was averaging about 0.5-0.7% per hour now with Pie its higher.

I believe the reason for that for me is that I am no longer using package disabler pro.

I can achieve 8-10 hours in average of SoT (Snapdragon variant).

I am on exynos on 8.1 and i just got 2h SOT i am on 60%. Battery started draining too much since i enabled biometrics. Is there some kind of bug with biometrics? I mostly use fingerprint. Before i got like 1h for every 10% battery drop.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sygys:
Mine has 4.5 hours screen on time with 2 sims installed and a standby time of 1 day and 8 hours. I have 12% battery left. That sounds impressive. But I'm not so impressed... my Sony z3 had a 48 hour battery life with 8 hours screen on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] imkr1:
We all know Sony has a well standby drain..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] talhamid:
I am getting barely 4.5 hours of SOT. I want to ask the community:

1) I am running on QHD resolution. Does dialing it down to 1080p help (though I don't want to)

2) I am on 4G for around 8 to 10 hours a day. In that context does 4.5 hours of SOT seem good?

3) AOD is also turned on for 6 hours a day

4) I select "battery saving" on location services but everytime I look they're back to High Accuracy

I am on fully stock Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ramiss:
One of the biggest contributors to poor battery life is weak cell signal, because the phone draws more power to maintain the connection. How good is your 4G signal? Do you have the option to use WiFi?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Yep. Before pie update I switched to wifi at home and sot increased another hour .

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] TechSilver13:
I have horrible cell service at work and I get 4 to 5 hours screen on time. On the weekends when I'm on wifi only i can pull 7 to 8 hours screen on time. I've been on OneUI since it launched so I dont remember what I got on stock Oreo but I think it was about the same if not slightly worse.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] talhamid:
Yes that's what I suspect. Here in Pakistan signal coverage and consistency varies wildly even within a few hundred meters. That's why I seem to be getting a lot less SOT on EVERY phone I use. I do have the option to use WiFi at home though.

Somehow I don't believe in rooting, disabling apps or going through other hoops to get better battery life. It should work out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] mihayash:
We used a lot of apps,Music few hours,youtube,aod,calls,if you dont know what to turn off and from where to turn off,dont try to say that we are lying,i use only 3g because i use a lot my wifi at home,these are a few tests,and i come from my ex S8 plus where i had 8-9 hours SOT,of course modifyed a lot,if you delete gmscore (or just disable body sensors from permissions) and delete phonesky you will see a big difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] harrysenpai:
Samsung finally has a Note with battery life to match its size and capabilities. The Note 9 can go all day with a good amount of battery to spare, even if you make no attempt to change its behavior in the name of battery life. The Note 9 also charges 0-100% as quickly as the Galaxy S9+ despite its larger battery capacity.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Dropping down to 1080p would save you some battery but not huge. The display will always show QHD. Dropping to 1080p just means the GPU renders fewer pixels but in that case it does upscaling which uses less power than rendering native QHD but considering 1080p would still give you a PPI of almost 400 you won't notice anyways.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] nbog:
Canadian Snapdragon,

have had it for a few weeks, mostly charging from 50 to 85% and last night charged it to 100 to test the battery.

Besides disabling a few preinstalled apps (FB, google movies, duo...) and running several messaging apps (Signal, WhatsApp, Skype) and 4 email accounts on a push, that's it.

I set most of apps except the communication ones to Always sleep. Nova Launcher with black theme.

Was on wifi most of the day, 3 hrs SOT skype, browser and the stock broker app (2 of these black themes), at 75% not bad

will post the screenshot when I get on my PC

and now, after some youtube time (through Opera browser, don't ask why opera)

at 58% with 5 hrs SOT on wifi

Anyone else with already high wear on the battery? I don't like this.. :( I hope just AB is just reading wrong battery-capacity
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] nbog:
mine says 95% but read here somewhere (there is an intensive discussion aboutAB readings) that I cannot be trusted. Yet, I get nervous when I see the new phone at 95%, can imagine what you feel at 90, I will keep charging with short bursts between, whatever and whenever, 30-85% range, not going over 85, and give it some time.

I was happy yesterday when I did 100% charge and looked at my SOT but that is not my typical day, it's a day off, will do another test before I get back to work, to see how it does on LTE in my building (which is not battery friendly - old thick concrete structure)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
I'm getting about 5 hours sot for about 45% battery usage on approx 20 hours standby on Pie . Was better on oreo.

There's an option for "Smart Things" that needs to be re-Disabled if the app is updated (Samsung App). It's in the messages at the Samsung App Store once you sign in. Conservatively it gives me 25% more battery 3\4 of a day

Screen on time.

I m very impressed with the battery life and screen on time i m getting on this phone. Even with a standby time of 36 hours with wifi/data, AOD and sometimes bluetooth on, I got 6+ hours of screen on time. (check screenshot)

Hoping that the new Android pie update will make it even better. But i really cant complain with this kind of performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well could say battery improved a little with latest stable pie version, from 90 to 1 % almost 9h.

almost all the time in wifi, no power savings,(never used) QHD and auto brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ErebusRaze:
My battery has gone to ****. Pre-ordered this phone but didn't get it until September due to Samsung being imbeciles. The first month the battery was amazing. Now it's garbage. Consistently getting 3 hours of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ihuman007:
Do you notice how Android system is the most battery consuming. All you have to do is clear the cache one time.. you'll get back the amazing battery life. Thank me later
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] cavags5:
it's impossible this phone do only 3h.

I know is not easy for some people, but if you know your phone and apps you use, you can optimise your phone for your usage, and leave it stable.

optimise all apps you don't need notifications, reboot the after charging at least 3 times a week, turn off sync, disable apps you don't use.

some settings and options too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ErebusRaze:
Lol, I've cleared the system cache 3 times over the past 2 months. It's had no effect. I'm certain it's constant background GPS and location tracking that's causing the drain, so today I've disabled Android System from working in the background. I'll see how it goes.

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 AM ----------

I replied to the other guy, but yeah, I've optimized my frequent apps, and as for a reboot, I have it set where it reboots every night at 3am. I have all carrier apps disabled, but did not turn off sync (I need all of my work emails, and contact information updated). Again, I'm pretty sure the drain is caused by location tracking. I live in NYC and every two steps Google is asking/telling me about stores I've passed on my commute, etc. I've disabled it and I'm pretty sure it'll make a significant difference. I'll report back with updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] cavags5:
that is one thing people don't know, if you use stock emails app they suck, you don't need the sync on to receive emails, there are other apps that receive emails on real time with sync off.,like app MyMail and I have 4 mails always on.

you don't need to sync all day, check some back ups like Google or Samsung account,

I have app that turn on automatically sync when I get home to updade calendar samsung notes etc.

the most drain is in 4G, because in wifi last twice the time.

check my files too and delete all the files you don't need, if you don't play games you can delete the android folder files.

I can easily squeeze 9-10 hours out of my exynos note 9 dual sim on a single charge. I average 10% or a little more drain per hour usage.

3g and, bluetooth in the car, wifi, GPS, Instagram, YouTube, calls, tons of browsing using Samsung internet, WhatsApp, taking pictures, listening to music for extended time through the headphone Jack, not limiting or crippling my usage for the phone in any way but no gaming. It all depends how you utilize your needs.

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Indeed. After considering almost all the variables, doing the test, rechecking and then ending up getting the same underwhelming results, it's safe to call it a disappoiment.
