[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
I've managed to reach more than 12 hours SoT on my exynos lately. With almost 1 hour and 40 minutes per 10% battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Hi,

I don't know if this is normal but the Screen on Time is pretty low but my phone runs throughout the day mostly.

But SOT averages around 3 hours only when it runs for a full day.

My standby drain is more than 2% an hour.. is there a way to reduce the standby drain time to improve the SOT.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
Not normal for the note 10 plus, not even for a device with a smaller battery. I believe that the network signal where you live is not that good, which affects battery life dramatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Maybe that's the case.. but can there be any other reason apart from this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
when talking about standby drain, network signal is most probably the reason, unless you have a fancy always-on display with shiny colors. As for the screen on time, I believe you have everything set to maximum, I can tell at least based on your light theme. You can set a darker one, and reduce the resolution of the display, do some tweaks here and there.. etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Thanks mate.. I had set the theme based on sunset and sunrise.. and the resolution is FHD+

How did you disable bixby?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
My Exynos Note 10+ drains between 11% to 14% per hour, Snapdragon Note 10+ drains 6% to 10% per hour with Screen On. Both on T-mobile US network.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Sufyan3D:
- Disable bloatware (Use the forum to learn how and what to disable, Bixby and Facebook for example. I personally use the CCSWE App and it works well)

- Put most Apps to sleep (Restrict background usage)

- Turn off Sync/Bluetooth/NFC/Location (Activate only when needed, do not leave them on)

- Turn off AOD

** Use Black themes as much as possible they are easy on the eyes and help saving batteey life A LOT

- Buy HEX One UI and black theme everything

- Use Kiwi Browser with Nightmode + Black theme

- Use Youtube Vanced for it's black amoled theme
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] fahmiroslee:
You tried on both phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
Yes have both phones, selling Exynos now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] qav:
11 h screen on time with half of them Youtube. Exynos, no power save, black theme., Facebook disabled. FHD+ resolution. Galaxy Watch connecyed by BT all time. Way better than Note9 for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
Why Kiwi browser exactly? many other browsers have the dark theme
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Mickie420:
Is it normal that my battery life seem to drain faster on LTE than WIFI? I got average on wifi 7-8 hrs of sot and lte i got 4-6 hrs

Im on exynos
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rmn.br:
It's absolutely normal, LTE always consume more juice from battery compared to WiFi (both with great signal reception). I hope/believe 5G after next 1-2 years, will change this fact
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] indianmeister:
Got almost 6 hrs SOT with stock firmware, no debloat, VoLTE activated with poor signal, poor wifi signal, WQHD+ resolution, Optimized battery, AOD on, default non black carrier theme, Location turned on, bluetooth connected to smartwatch all day, I think is a good time considering everything is stock and Exynos variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] michelino159:
Hello! The ones you had before Note9 how do you think the battery on the Note10 + is much better or does it excel? Although I am in Europe, I'm thinking of buying a Note10 + with a snapdragon. On the Exynos Note9 the battery is not that good. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] qav:
i switched from N9 Exynos to N10+ Exynos. For me it is a huge difference. I am still on Android 9 though... look a bit up to see my battery stats.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] leoking3:
So, any change since the Android 10 update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Normal for Samsung devices, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] kemalafiantoro:
Anyone knows why is google play services drain the battery so much?

How do i fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
I'd definitely recommend the Snapdragon over the Exynos. Better performance and battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] michelino159:
Everyone wants snapdragon no recommendations needed. The problem remains the warranty of the phone. In case you have problems with the Samsung phone it does not get it in service if you have the snapdragon because it officially sells exynos in most of the areas. For this reason I bought exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Exactly, warranty and service=peace of mind

I have claimed warranty in several ocasions, with this device, the headphones stopped working, went to my carrier, and new headphones, no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] leoking3:
easy: you move to Huawei. Like I did, my note 10 plus was extremely unreliable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] kxdaorbit:
If you're so happy with Huawei, why are you still here spamming?.

Did you ever really own a Note 10+?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] qav:
I really don't get it... I am on Exynos. Are there 2 Exynos processors? I have amazing battery life. Others too. Some people have bad battery life while they are also on Exynos. Or it is most likely just a "use case" scenario here? I really do use my phone, (as i have said in my previous post where i've posted the screenshot), i also have it always connected with my watch and i never charge it over 85% or leave it under 15%. Maybe some people are having bad signal and hence the phone is constantly hunting the network. In which case it is not really about SD or Exynos, but about case to case scenarios. Just my 2 cents here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Benny-Danny:
Exynos here... 7+ SOT with over 1 hour video call, 3 hours streaming videos, and the rest installing and uninstaling some apk and setting up some apps...

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'s battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Zsomer:
4g drain is much better than it was on the s10, but overnight its still a mixed bag. One night it was 3% overnight, another it was 12%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] torickray:
One night forgot to charge the phone. It drained less than 5% overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] gottahavit:
I lose a couple percent per night tops
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] pete4k:
IMO it would be helpful if posters stated SD/Exynos and stock/debloated/custom . My stock SD runs about 0.5 to 1%/hour and I would be very envious if that couple percent per night was stock also. Once I debloat it and get rid of most of the crap I don't use 2 percent per night would be something I would actually expect.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jhun80:
If wifi signal is strong, less battery drain. If on LTE and the signal is strong, less drain. BUT if wifi or 4gLTE is weak, expect greater battery drain. Also i turn off GPS for lesser drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Note 10+

Qualcmm

Power save mode

Stock/disabled unused, unneeded apps and services that I don't use or need.

I lose about 3 percent over night, from 8pm to about 4am. Wish adhell was still available I could've saved an additional 1 to 1.5 percent. That's like an additional 10+ minutes of screen on time wasted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jabberwock:
Note 10+ Exynos

Full monty (wifi, 4G, gps, bluetooth, nfc, sync etc .. ALL on!)

No power saving settings, no bixby routines to save battery, Full WQHD+

Stock

disabled apps: Facebook, Write on PDF and Chrome

So basically everything that could be set to ON, I did turn ON. I like to have a smartphone, not a dumbphone.

loses 5% in 6 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Heh heh heh.....that's like having all the lights, TVs and appliances on in the house while you're asleep in the bedroom. But alas it's your phone, do what you will.

I on the other hand did a few more tweaks and now losing about 2% loss from 9 to 4:30 that's about 1% per 3.5 hours compared to your 1.2 per 1%.

It's an asinine notion to think that having all things on at all times somehow makes your phone any smarter than any other. I mean your phone isn't smarter than any dumb phone if it's not being used. The phone might be smart but the user.....well that's still up for debate.

So just a few questions

Why have services on that you're not using or never will use?

Why waste battery power and charge cycles?

Why do you feel that having all those services on when not being used is better than turning them on only when they're needed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jabberwock:
I didn't say I do not use services. I use those services and features for automation purposes a lot!.

Let me state it otherwise, I (want to) use the full potential of my device all the time. We are talking about 0.2% battery difference per hour. That is 4.8% battery difference over the course of 24 hours. Since I charge my device at least once somewhere in those 24 hours I do not concider that as an issue. It is such a minor difference I personally don't want to bother myself with the hassle of turning off some features, and keep myself reminding to turn them on again the next morning.

And no.. I do not leave my TV on when not in use. But I also do not leave the screen of my phone on while I sleep. But I do use all the possible features of my TV when using it. See the difference? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Hmm, I hear what you're trying to say but your math is wrong. I mean think about it, you lose 5% in 6 hours of idle time, then in a 24 hour period your phone lose 20% of its battery doing nothing.

OK let's put it another way, you lose .83% each hour when you're not using your phone so over a 24 hour period you're only able to use 80% of your battery because 20% is wasted doing nothing.

Over a 5 day period you lose 1 charge cycle count on your battery doing absolutely nothing.

I see that as an extraordinary waste. I on the other hand lose 2% in 7 hours of idle time, that's .26% each hour and about 6% over a 24 hour period. 16 days to lose charge cycle count based on idle time.

.83 vs .26

20 vs 6

5 vs 16

Those are huge differences, so not sure where you got the:

"We are talking about 0.2% battery difference per hour. That is 4.8% battery difference over the course of 24 hours"

But as I've said it's your phone use it how you will. There's no wrong way in using your phone, use it in whatever way meets your needs.

I on the other hand feels that efficiency and battery life are paramount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
My man...why buy power phone and than dim screen to 20%, disable all and than brag how you save couple percent of batt...

Anyway I saw you had note 8. I've got it now and thinking of buying note 10...are you happy now that you change it or you feel it was waste of money?...Are cameras at least decent upgrade or?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] PsiPhiDan:
Not to butt in, but I had a Note8 and Note9 prior to this Note10+. This thing handily wipes the floor with both devices. Huge upgrade from the Note8 for sure!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
thx my man...Im thinking about note 10 + or oneplus 7 pro...but I don't like curves on it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
hehhehhheh "Standby drain" my friend, has nothing to do with dimming screens or SoT. If you're not using the phone why let it drain and go to waste? why not put it to good use like towards more NFC, more wifi, more bluetooth? more Samsung Pay? more Browsing, screen on time? towards more of the services you actually use?

Losing 20% of your battery power in 24 hours doing nothing is just stupid imo. You know....thinking about it, that 20% wasted battery could've given you about 2 to 3 hours of additional SoT. So instead of getting 5 to 6 hours you could be getting 8 to 9. OH what a difference a "couple percent of batt..." could make.

Man, it has nothing to do with bragging but it has a lot to do with common sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jabberwock:
Wait..what? Where I am bragging? I just said I actually use my phone with as much features and options enabled. I simply do not care about saving some extra percent of battery.

regarding the upgrade: yes i'm happy.

Again...I do not care about the difference, because the 20% battery loss per 24h is mostly the time when I sleep and not using the phone anyway. Off course when I'm in a situation where I can not charge my phone, I switch off unused options to save battery. But in normal day use I find on/off toggling too much hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] weridenorth:
You guys should take your conversation into a DM maybe..

Snapdragon

WQHD

Location on

Bluetooth on (Galaxy watch)

Optimized mode, with adaptive battery

Left my phone off the charger last night, 87% at 12:45. woke up at 9:15 to 82, but about 10 seconds after I started using my phone it went to 81%. This a normal standby drain? Forgot to take a screenshot, but it looked/looks like my Android system is always second to screen in the battery section.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
No I don't think he was saying you were bragging at all. I think he was saying people who post great screen on times and prefer more efficient use of their phones are somehow bragging.

I understand that which is why I said it's your phone, use it how you will.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] RoyaL:
I just got my Note10+, 5 days ago, and it is draining 31% !!! overnight (7h of sleep). This is really too much, specially considering it is a big battery...

I leave it with everything on (wifi, bluetooth, nfc, etc). I come from an S8 and, in the same conditions, S8 just drained around 9% over night (with a much smaller battery).

Going to the Battery usage, I don't find anything strange, but I see that the data there is not accurate. For example in the last 1 Day I played a game for 3 hours and the battery usage shows only 40m active for that game.

Don't really know where to start to solve the issue...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Woah that is a huge drop I would've lost my mind waking up and seeing that. Did you restore from a backup when setting up your phone? Usually you want to stay away from restoring settings unless going to the same type phone/phone.

Or you have an app that went rogue. Make sure to check your data usage to see if any app used more data that you think it should. Like if you installed a keyboard, it shouldn't be having 300+MB worth of network traffic.

But for what it's worth my guess is it's a Samsung smartswitch restore issue. In which case you'd probably have to do a settings reset or last resort a full reset then only restore your data next time around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] RoyaL:
No backup restore, I reinstalled everything just to avoid issues like this... I ended up getting it...

Meanwhile I installed CPU Spy and discovered that my watch NEVER went into Deep Sleep since I bought it. So, if it was something I did, it was done upon the very first boot.

Troubleshooting it during today...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] DaPoets:
As big a battery and as quickly as it charges there isn't a need even for power users on an average day to worry about dimming the screen low and keeping things off (unless you actually don't use certain features). I don't charge my phone overnight and on avg I'll drop about 5% I guess. I keep wifi & BT on as well as AOD. My Verizon 4G signal is ok, my wifi is stronger than most. Anything around a 5% drop overnight will be normal. Anything over 10% overnight means you have a runaway app which I did have and removed it (some Verizon app that burned 17% of my battery in a day). Actually I do remember it was Verizon's virus or security protection app that killed my battery so I removed it. I only charge this Note 10+ 5G beauty when I'm getting ready for work in the morning and I'm good all day and night until the next morning when I charge it again for about 30 min.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] RoyaL:
I have finally fixed it. Reseted Network and System Settings and voilá... Back to normal. This night lost only 5% in 8h.

Put all the settings back as I had before and still works fine. So no idea what was avoiding going into Deep Sleep.

Anyway is solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
That's awesome to hear that it was fixed. But it makes you wonder what setting it could have been that was causing the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I am getting some 0.5%-0.8% drain per hour in standby, exynos, wifi on, sync on, aod to always, high performance mode, vivid screen, qhd

res, brightness at 55%, but this is in the first 2 days I've had the device
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rafammx:
In My note 10 plus 975F, If i go to the street, i turn off wifi and enable cellular data, after 2hrs i return to home and the battery drains about 10%, i have location and sincronization enabled but still i think is too high battery consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] t4d44:
Note 10+, Exynos

Standby drain is very noticeable, especially when running music in the background.

On average it uses about 3% per hour when doing nothing but if you mix in spotify (No matter wether streaming or offline mode) it will jump to around 6% per hour.

I am using the same settings as on my previous phone (D2TW, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and edge lighting(Similar to screen lighting up when receiving notifications)).

In terms of Standby drain, my pixel XL beats the crap out of the note 10+, no matter if music is running or not. Screen on drain is a different matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
That's not a problem with the phone, but with your apps

Holy ****! 3% while doing nothing? You have some app going insane in the background

I have 0,1 to 0,8 % per hour, depending on signal strength
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rafammx:
thats nothing, my note 10 plus exynos drains 15% battery percent with only 50 min screen time and 2 hours on standby on cellular data in my pocket, most of that drain was when doing nothing, when standby.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
You should check which app eats your battery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] t4d44:
My first guess was that it would be an app, too. However I am actually using less apps than I had on my previous device. On some days the numbers even go up to 8%/hr and when checking the battery stats and manually adding up all the numbers, the statistics lack about 10% of battery that is just gone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
Mind posting a screenshot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] shaunydub:
Just got a Note 10+ on Tuesday and suffering 5.8% drain an hour while on standby!!

When in use the battery drops rapidly, walking the dog and morning browsing took it from 100% to 89%.

Coming from a P30 Pro and deeply upset by this and hope there is some way to improve it....the same setup / activity on that would leave me with around 97% after the morning walk and I never had to think about standby drain the battery was so good.

Before I got the Note 10+ I had a S10+ for a couple of days before deciding to go Note and I saw similar battery issues on there.

Is Samsung battery life really so bad vs Huawei?

I don't have AOD turned on, bluetooth is connected to my Active Watch 2, Wifi is off, connected to 4g so I didn't expect to get such poor battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
The thing is, you get battery life accordingly to the features/services you use or have running in background, signal strenght, and the settings you have chosen, I come from a note 8, and with this note10+, now we have a tighter control over what apps can run, which ones that are seldom use must be always dormant, I use performance mode, AOD, autobrightness on, wifi and data all the time, I rarely use BT, in day time I usually get a 2~3 % per hour drain, and 1~2% over night, which I consider good values, I honestly do mot know if huawei devices last as some say, barely eating any battery for a whole day, some even claim ZERO drain overnight! I find all these rants senseless
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] t4d44:
Yes here you go:

https://imgur.com/gallery/90J3i2W

The screenshots are lacking 2 apps right at the bottom of the list, each measuring 1%.

If my math is correct,I come out at 43%, which shows the system missing a total of 11%.

Today was a rather decent day in terms of battery life,but there have been way worse (Generally most days are)

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

As far as I was able to read up online, the issues are mostly related to the Exynos processor us europeans are shipped with.

The Snapdragon is supposed to have better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] thepersona:
do you just use performance mode, always on display, auto brightness, Wi-Fi, and data? There's no other settings you've touched on your device in order to get the one to 2% battery drain overnight or two to 3% drain within the hour?

I'm curious because I'm one of many who have seven to 9% drain overnight and those numbers you mentioned are pretty good. Any chance you could share some of your settings?

I use optimized, and I'm worried that if I switch to high performance mode it's going to lower the battery life more rather than improve it.

I don't use always on display at all, auto brightness is off for me, I only use Bluetooth for about an hour and 45 minutes 5 days a week during my commutes, outside of that I switch between Wi-Fi and data when I'm in the home and not at home. So according to the percentage you're getting I'd love to figure out what settings do you have in order to see if my device can lose to to 3% overnight / per hour.

Thanks and I look forward to your response
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I disabled google, chrome, bixby, playstore and galaxy store, I enable them just to check for updates, and carefully selected what apps must be sleeping untill recalled, I did not use the auto sleep/disable apps feature, also, selected what apps will be battery optimized, enphasizing the "carefully" as not to interfere with syncing or receiving notifications, I also use adguard's firewall to avoid undesired network traffic
