[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] beta546:
Haha, no part of my post suggests I have a closed mind, I just mentioned my own experience and surprise that Samsung's own chip could be worse. But from what I've witnessed with my own eyes, 12 hours screen on time with the exynos is amazing, even if it was fairly light usage, it still included 8 hours of constant browsing in chrome with mobile data and quite a bit of other stuff too. So either I'm very lucky and got a special device haha, or I'm just great with android and do a good job of optimising it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
if we consider that the snapdragon has a higher performance than the exynos, then it must also be using more battery to achieve these higher speeds.

so it does not come to a surprise that the slower exynos consumes less battery. not sure if the cpu or gpu are clocked slower but it would seem as a valid explanation.

i have heard that the reason why the SD outperforms the Exynos is down to the fact that the 9180 is badly optimised.

when custom kernels come out i bet people will OC it and it might achieve similar speeds as the 945 and by the same fact consume more battery and be on par with the SD on that aspect too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] michelino159:
Snapdragon is good on the side of the game because it has a very good GPU and here can be a difference in your test, but not everyone is playing. And if you continued until the battery was discharged, the snapdragon might have had a faster acceleration than exynos in games.

Your test can not be reproduced by anyone under the same temperature conditions, programs, settings, gsm, etc. It's just for you and not for anyone else. Others have tested and found that exynos has an autonomy of at least 30min in front of the snapdragon. It is certain that the differences are not as they were at S9.

Who sees the topic below realizes that Exynos has a good range even good even impressive autonomy..Will use tests with S9 as no longer valid.Look,SOT of 10,11,12h on Exynos without black theme,black wallpaper..

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/review/screen-time-t3824664/page22

,, I'm an S9+ user. Recently Samsung released 2 different updates that improved the way the Exynos 9810 behaves by a long shot.

I'm talking fluidity of the phone became hugely better and battery life suddenly went from around 3-3.5 hours SoT to a solid 5-6 hours SoT even with heavy use!

These optimizations are also available on the Note 9 with the Exynos chip. It's no longer an inferior/bad SoC with what Samsung did with it. I recommend you get it without thinking twice. It's finally a great phone. ,,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] beta546:
See that I didn't know, if the exynos is a bit slower, then I'd say that the SD is unnecessarily fast haha, as with exynos there's not a single performance issue even with the biggest most demanding games on the market.

It's so hard for anyone to form an opinion either way as there's soooo many conflicting views on the subject.

"The exynos is worse on battery because it's badly optimised"

"The exynos is better on battery because it's slightly slower"

I think the best way to put it, is, they're both fine, the exynos has 0 performance issues, and with minimal tweaks I can get SOT of 12 hours. I can't comment specifically on the SD as I don't have one. But people have achieved great results with it also.

So it's simple, they're both great on performance and battery. The only differences come down to simple bragging rights and an "because I can" attitude haha.

For the average user, they're both perfectly fine.

Exynos slower?In geekbench test,exynos is over snapdragon.In antutu,snapdragon win for a good gpu.

My test.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
when i look on both app results SDs are miles ahead.

edit: yeah your right geekbench gives it to the exynos!

passmark also gives a clear win for the 945 chips:

https://www.androidbenchmark.net/cpumark_chart.html

wasn't geekbench known for BS results?

2 out of 3 bench apps give the SD945 a very big advantage.

1 of the 3 gives it to the 9810 but margin is not all that big.

I do not know that site. They are tests on exynos made by me on antutu and geekbench. If it has added value snapdragon is because of the higher GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
Passmark, as well as Antutu, tests not only the CPU, but also the GPU and memory performance.

GPU on the S845 is way better than the one in the E9810 (as well as memory I think). This explains the lead of the S845.

In the other hand, Geekbench tests only the CPU (both multi and single thread performances) and isn't very memory intensive.

That's the reason of the differences. They just tell you different things.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
obvisouly im looking at the cpu scores when comparing the 3 apps and not the global combined mark nor the missing gpu score when comparing to geekbench..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
Yeah, I just realized that. I didn't see that your link was the CPU score at first.

Can I ask you to run passmark and post only your CPU single thread performance ? (If you have a s845 model of course). I want to see something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
im on the exy unfortunatly but nonethe less post results.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
The single thread is in the CPU, you have to extend the menu ;).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
yeah lol was just about to retake a screen shot, i had closed the tabs earlier to do some comparisons and forgot b4 posting
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
had to rerun the test because i had rebooted earlier and not saved it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
Ok. now, we have to wait someone with s845 to do the same.

Either it has the same single thread performance as you and then geekbench is weird, or it have a lower score and then it's just that the score isn't calculate in the same way ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
https://www.androidbenchmark.net/phone.php?phone=Samsung+SM-G960U1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
If the single thread performance is in your link, I don't see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
i know but still the gap between two is insane.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] alex989898:
That's right and that's why I want some single thread score of an S845 phone ;).

In geekbench, Exynos 9810 is way ahead of S845 in single thread perf. If it's the same in Passmark, then it's only a matter of the way the score is calculated in the end or what the benchmark is doing.

If the s845 turns out to be close to the Exynos 9810, then, it's just that Geekbench is certainly doing something wrong and Exynos has no advantage over s845.

In the end, I don't care Haha. I think s835 is still fast enough for today (except for games, and maybe 4k@60fps recording).

this is a real bullsh.t

I've read many posts/replies, and I laughing.

Guys! How do you getting 5-9 SOT and 1day stb time with note 9 exynos?

I've a 128/6 version with stock XEH rom.

Mine never be able to provide me this, or near these parameters.

I use everything, sensors, NFC, GPS, all auto (wifi, agressive mode, auto on, etc...) I'm a moderate, not a heavy user but I can't use the phone more than one day, and I can't provide 2-3,5h SOT at all day. (I use social apps, like Facebook & messenger.)

My phone drains today 2am to 8am 1-1,5%/h, from 100% to 94%, AOD off between 11am to 6am, auto brightness on, blue light filter on sundown to sunrise automaticly. I used google maps for 45min it costs 15% battery drain etc. This is a usual day.

So Guys how do you do this. This is ridiculous for me. Or my phone is defected?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androFRUST:
Honestly, you're not doing anything wrong. Exynos is known to have bad battery optimization this year. Evident on the S9+. Just have to live with it unless you want to turn everything off. I've read some comments on this forum, some have turned of mobile data altogether when connected to wifi and some use a dark theme with a black background. There goes any chance of showing off your amazing amoled display. Just live with it and have a charger next to you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MDSLHC27:
How do I do that? Under app power monitor?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
1. Using Package Disabler (Pro) to disable unused/unusefull apps/modules. Sam Rom fully of bloats

2. Turn off unneed notifications

3. Turn off background activity of apps

4. Put apps into always sleeping apps under Device Management-Battery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Tiamath99:
I had the european 512gb version from first day , exynos model, and i was getting about 6 SOT, auto brightness , 50% on lte , never airplane mode, no dark mode. little gaming mainly whatsapp youtube tapatalk chrome.

I got now the n9600 witch is the snapdragon version and with the same use i get around an hour more SOT.

I think the diference may be in the LTE radio modem being the one at exynos less effcientet. I say this because i think when i am in airplane mode they are about equal.

I will try to post some captures later on
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] xMadMike:
Strange to hear about bad battery life on Exynos. I have my brightness on auto which means very bright most of the time, been uploading videos to google drive via weak 4G (this used a lot), watched youtube, used android auto, used messaging, snapchat and whatsapp and a bit of social media and I am still at around 47% with over 3h on screen time.

Could easily push it to 6ish hours of SOT and that's with moderately heavy use and high brightness.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Spacemaine9596:
Does anyone have any experience with getting their phone replaced via the Samsung experience shop? I was hoping to do that if it's possible. My phone seems to hear up quite a bit while doing simple things such as scrolling through an article or playing a 2D game. The best SOT I got was a little over 6.5 hours..that's with mid power saving on the whole time. Without it, with roughly the same usage pattern I got a little over 4.5 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Reno95:
It's crazy how some exynos users are getting at least 7 hrs of SOT. In my case, whether it's light or heavy task, I always get a solid 5hr sot with or without battery saving. I'm starting to think that there's something wrong with the SOC itself. Can a samsung moderator see my comment?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lastfugi1979:
For the initial few days i was getting 7 hrs consistently. Not sure whats change, i am getting only about 5 hrs now. I have updated with Oct, Nov security patches. Phone is 2 weeks old.

Auto brightness on - Brightness around 40%

NFC, Location, BT - Always off

I have 100+ apps installed, but have limited their background usage.

Only thing i am about to try is debloating system apps via adb, and see if it improves the battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Reno95:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
After about 15 days with the note 9 Exynos i average 4.5-5 hours SOT with about 18-26 hours off the charger. I have hit 7 hrs SOT a few times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] cricketgirl90:
SOT is very subjective. If m browsing the net or xda or reading a book or watching videos then it's easy to 7 to 8 hrs of SOT.

Whereas normal usage with social media camera usage Google maps phone calls standby for few hrs then you will get 5-5.5 hrs of SOT.

On a light day when I dont have time to check my phone.. at the end of work day I still have 70% battery left with 50 to 1 hr of SOT and it can go strong for another work day.

When you first get a phone you are constantly using it and hence higher SOT. With normal usage it drops. So nothing is wrong. Chill and charge your phone for 20 mins when it hits 50% and live your life...

Thats how I got over my battery anxiety. Use as I want and charge for 20 mins when it hits 50%. Maybe 30 if you have some more time.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
Guys it depends. If u get lots of calls it can get down to 2 hours SOT. It's different from ane to another

I have bluetooth always on connected to my s3 and LTE always on( I dont use wifi) location always off.

Weekends I can get 7+ hours SOT. Working days seriously I can get down to 2 or 3hrs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lastfugi1979:
Agreed. SOT depends on the application usage. If someone uses Camera a lot or doing lot of gaming, they cant expect 7 hrs SOT obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jonascos:
Battery is life is very good
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ne0gen-:
Alright

I decided to check what kind of SOT I'll get on a random boring day so I mindlessly scrolled through Facebook for a while, then play a random 10 hour video till I got sick of it, took a 15 minute video and some photos, played a game for an hour and a half and some more random stuff and this is what I got.

It's ok, I guess?

Edit: I can not make this thing to post the stupid image..... 8h 11m SOT 20% left, Wifi, location on high accuracy, AOD on, no battery saver.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
I continue to average about 5 hrs SOT with 18-24 hrs up time. not phenomenal but I'm happy with it. This is with 8 hrs at work where signal is terrible for me at about 117 dbm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] skycamefalling:
Here's mine. I manage to get one and a half days and charging at the end of the second day so I can leave the house with full battery in the morning.

I get around 4 to 5 hours of SOT, depending on what I'm doing and how long I listen to music in the office.

The battery life in use is good, but it's bad in idle. The battery drains too much with all this Bixby-crap running in the background. The Sony Xperia XZ3, which I had before, gave me better battery life even though the battery is 700mAh smaller. For comparison: The Note 9 needs 4% battery during the night while I'm sleeping, whereas the XZ3 only took 2%...when the phone is only lying around on the table, the XZ3 with smaller battery would last twice as long as the Note 9. This may not seem like a realistic scenario but when I'm out doing sports in the mountains for a few days I barely use the phone but I want it to last as long as possible in case I need to make an emergency call or something.

So yeah, I'm slightly disappointed by battery life of the Note 9 and I hope that with Android Pie the idle drain will be lowered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Da-BOSS:
I use ACC (Advanced Charging Controls) module from magisk ;) in order to keep my Note 9 battery healthy and I always set a limit to charge up to 85% or even 80% only to avoid harming my battery :) and this alone gives me more than 1 day of usage alone! So... I really don't need to charge it to 100% all the time except when I will go traveling or I will be away from the charger for a long time ;) it is the best way to save your battery from anything harmful and keep it like a new as same as a day one usage ;) since Note 9 got non replaceable batteries :cool:

Here's an example... by hovering to 80~83% I can get over 1 day... easily so...I really never need to charge it to 100% at all :fingers-crossed: a smartphone holding more than 1 day is more than enough for me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
I haven't made a good battery testing yet, but e.g. currently it is sitting at 96%, charged to full about 12h ago, phone used for maybe some minutes total in that 12 hours. GPS on, wifi/BT off, AOD off, no samsung account entered (so bixby etc. only opens to ask for the account). From that, I'd estimate around 10 days of standby, but the error margin would be quite large on that estimate. (In earlier message somewhere I estimated a bit lower, was it 7-10 days.)

Good enough, but not impressive considering that my old S5 with original battery can do around 6-7 days standby and Android has improved its battery saving features some more in the versions that came after the one with what the S5 was left at.

There are some articles about adjusting (i.e. rooting/kernel stuff/whatnot) how the tasks get moved between cores and how the core frequencies are adjusted, and IIRC, with a bit different software/settings (read, using newer software than what Samsung's SoC division bothers to use), quite a bit better battery life could be reached. Or a bit better performance and just a bit better battery life. (Though, afaik, that related to battery life over actual use, not standby.) That is, seems that the battery life could be better simply if Samsung's Exynos division would do their software work properly.
