So this was a pleasant experience. Flew from Los Angeles to Philly w/ a layover then to Buffalo NY. Pretty much watched various movies and youtube downloads most of the way via Samsung Galaxy BT Earbuds. 12 hours of battery w/ over 8 hours of screen on time, ending at 21% then an extremely fast 45W charge back up to 75% before I knew it while I'm on the phone and tethering at the same time.

Best battery life - Snapdragon variant 1 d-4 hours battery at SOT 8 hours and 7 minutes. I still have 7 percent left! damnn!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] steviep99:
I've had my note 10+ 5g for 2 weeks or so now, its the exynos version from the UK and the battery life is so average. I thought it'd be amazing considering I was coming for a 2-year old Note 8 but it's not been so great. The images are from yesterdays full day, most of the day was wifi with some 4g/5g. I used spotify a fair bit + bluetooth for 1-2 hours but except from that I don't think the battery should've depleted so quickly.

Can anyone recommend what I could be wrong with the phone in order to fix it! I thought it was the norm until i came across this forum.

I use nova launcher + a few overdrop widgets on the home page. Tried to change to some darker wallpapers and use adaptive power saving.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Do you have any special settings on to get this much sot?

Best battery life, I've had so for
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ronak_1078:
I have an exynos variant too and I am getting the same battery like and SOT :crying:

Don't know what to do to make it similar to Qualcomm

This is good?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] paullu:
That is good one, I only have 6 hours something sot and 16 hours battery time. My previous p30 pro way better

You know that you get better signal if you had the verzion rom on it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] mhtruth:
My signal is no better or worse than it was on my Verizon note 9. Im actually happy i went the Samsung unlocked route. No carrier bloat, saved double the money trade i, and got a extra 10% with using the "referral program." $587 after taxes

This is mine xenos one by samsung getting replacement soon as I can charge to 100 then not do anything and it lost 2 percent in 20 mins
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] liggerz87:
Update 6 hours sot now using xenos one 512gb 5g but have it set to 4g 3g 2g screen on medium saving setting thing and screen set to 720p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
Don't even compare it to the P30 Pro. Its not even close. The P30 Pro gets crazy battery life and makes the Note 10+ look like a joke
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rikardugama:
But p30 pro kills all apps in blackgroud, if i put all apps to not run in blackground i can have the similar or better batery life than p30 pro
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] MatroxD:
Was trying to hit quote. What sized battery is in the 30(it? And im thinking those with 4,5 and 6 hours SOT are on ex processor..) I haven't had one at all under 7 with my snapdragon.. I average anywhere between 7 and 10 SOT on average.. But I've seen people posting here about that device(the p30), but it doesn't have all going on that the note does, so it's really not a comparison. I wouldn't care what the battery life is on it, if it doesn't have a pen like the note, and can do all that the note does.

I want the "portable computer" that happens to make and receive calls, that the note is.. Not the "phone" that does a few things, that the p30, iPhone and every other device is. Don't get me wrong they are decent devices(phones), but they aren't notes! Or in the same league as a note..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
If you were to kill all the apps in the background for the Note 10+ it still won't come close to the P30 Pro. Samsung always has Android system drain issues sooner or later. Thats why package disabler exists amongst Samsung users. Simply to fix battery problems. The Note 10+ is no exemption to this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:

I can get 7 something sot but battery life just around 13 hours. I don't know people can get 7 , 8 or 10 sot also 1 day battery life??!! You guys put phone in power saver mode?!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] xuggs:
FFS I can't get more than 5 hours at best SOT on my GN10+ 5G (set to LTE).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
No, I've edited my post, check it...I only got 4g at my place.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] leoking3:
YES! You are perfectly RIGHT! I wonder why people associate these 2. I had both, it will never ever even come close, unfortunately. I used to get 10 h SOT and 30 hours standby on my P30 Pro, and now I struggle to get through the day with the Note Plus. And well....it is still me...so I use it exactly the same. Disappointing Samsung....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
To the ranters above:

As you say"still disapointing" , it means you have had samsung devices in the past, now, you say p30 is the best in battery life, so, why, why did you get a samsung device? If as you say, samsung is always disapointing in this regard, then WHY did you Get it? Any normal person once being aware of something bad in his opinion, would try to avoid it, which seems not to be the case with the bashers/ranters/moaners above
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] xuggs:
OK I changed to Nova launcher from the stock One UI and surprisingly I get better SOT now. Maybe it's the ****ty Bixby that drains trying to make it self look useful in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
Exactly my argument. Can't be even compared. They are totally different in battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
They are different in MANY, MANY ways, battery being the less important of all, just like that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Pinan:
This is pretty average for me. Easy 11-12 hours SOT if I went straight out.

My Note 8 would avg. 6-7 hrs SOT.

Got the replace only got it yesterday so I'll see how it goes battery don't seem to be killed as quick when using
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] kamson:
I have switched to note 10 plus from mate 20 Pro and yes, Huawei had better battery life but...

It was killing all the apps in the background as hell. On mate I already forgot how and when many apps send notifications but this is not an issue on the note.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Exactly, some people here claim that their beloved huaweis were a marvelous battery efficient device, but forget to say what you clearly pointed out
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
Even if you enable all settings on Huawei the battery life easily destroys the Note 10+.

The P30 Pro even goes beyond that. Samsung can't optimize yet.

What you need is Sony optimisation in a Samsung phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] huhu1030:
I've read half of the thread and waw some of you are lucky.

I can't have more than 5h SOT.

My settings:

AOD (touch only), brightness at 25% approx, GPS when I'm out, 4G, Wifi at home and office.

Sync on, FHD+, battery on optimised, Dolby atmos enabled, dark mode after 10pm, Exynos version.

The phone is 2.5 weeks old, same battery life since day1.

What am I doing wrong ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rikardugama:
Enable dark mod all time and you see improviments
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I dont use dark mode, aod of from 3 am to 6 am, performance mode on, wifi on all time, data off all the time, auto brightness on, but, I think that the most important things are, how the signal levels are where yo use your device, what apps you have, also, there are some really batt consuming apps, chrome, google app, youtube, all facebook related stuff, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] furiouszagreb:
I won't be creating a new thread yet, weeking help/assistance because it is not alarming, but I will post here for now in hopes of getting some precious information on how to improve battery life on my N10+. I also have a few correlated issues that I need help with...

Bought it yesterday. Already did two full charges, first full charge had a SOT of 4h55min, second full charge had SOT of 5hr 4min, as seen in screenshots. That's abysmal performance for a €1k flagship, to say the least.

Here is my set up - brightness 40 - 50%. AOD always, NO dark mode, sync ON, Bluetooth OFF, edge lighting ON, S Pen gestures ON, dolby atmos ON, location 80/20 OFF/ON. power mode OPTIMIZED, usage was 75/25 WiFi/mobile data.

5 apps (gmail IG wapp twitter reddit) set NOT to be optimized because I already experieneced lag with some notifications/notifications coming late and when they do, lile 7, 8 of them come at the same time and phone goes beserk (sigh, Samsung!!) On an unrelated note - should this help with the notifications coming on time now?

When originally setting up the phone, I used Smart Switch from my old phone Huawei Mate 20 Pro to this one, Note10+. I switched everything BUT apps. I downloaded apps manually on Note10+. My question is also this - I legit had all the backups everywhere when setting up N10+. It was kind of a mess. Had a Huawei cloud backup, had a Google back up... used whatsapp backup for chats and media, so again, backup... I got lost in all of that. What should I have done when I was setting up my phone?

Also, when I go to Samsung Cloud this is what I originally saw. "Couldnt sync data" (screenshot)

When I press " sync now ", it says syncing (screenshot). When I click on "Tap here to stop syncing" , it says "No synced data". Does that mean its still downloading/restoring backup/data or what? More importantly what should I set it as?

Did that affect the poor SOT? I am confused on SO many levels and I need someone, PLEASE, to take their time and help me with what to do with Samsung Cloud, like what settings to check on/off and I clearly need instructions with all the other stuff I posted here. I'm really lost, please help me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] furiouszagreb:
I forgot to add one more thing - is there a way for me to know when, how and if the syncing thing in Samsung Cloud will actually stop when everything is synced or how does that work? I also noticed, if I am not mistaken, when the sync is off, I lose some or most of my pictures in the gallery, if that makes sense....

Edit: Just checked, I also have a photo&video backup on Google One/Google Photos., alongsidet the gallery backup on Samsung Cloud. Basically, I have bunch of photos/videos backed up from whatsapp, google One/photos, Samsung Cloud.... Can one point me in the right direction on how to proceed in the future now and what to do or better say, what to back up, where to back it up and when (every week or so?) I am aware I went off topic, but I am pretty sure that's what's been eating my battery and giving me 5hrs SOT so I need to know how and what to do. Please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] liggerz87:
I'm happy with battery as it got better it's still learning tho
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] liggerz87:
Phone time and screen on time.e seem to be getting better the other phone I had defo seems faulty these are 2 from like today and a few days ago
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] furiouszagreb:
I got abysmal SOT of 4hr35min on mobile/cellular data only (No WiFi). Bluetooth OFF, location OFF, dark mode OFF, brightness 40% or less, Samsung Cloud, Google Photos & Google One back up & sync - all OFF,. Bixby home, bixby wake up, literally everything bixby related OFF. Wake to lift OFF, smart stay OFF. Optimized battery settings, exceptions to optimize made on gmail, whatsapp, instagram. Everything else on optimization. AoD - always on, dynamic background on home screen - yes.

Also worth noting - after fully charging the phone, I went from 100% to 98% in like 3 minutes. I also went from 5% to 0% in a couple of minutes.

Is there something wrong with my battery? Surely 4 hrs 35min shouldn't be a norm, not even on cellular data only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] huhu1030:
What do you mean by the other phone ? Did you ask for an exchange ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] liggerz87:
Ye I got an exchange
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
That doesn't seem right. What you can do is use the phone till the battery is depleted then try to switch on and wait till phone depletes again. Do this until phone fails to boot. Then charge the phone to 100% without using it. See if this resolves the issue. If this doesn't work you might need to factory reset. If all fails a RMA might be necessary
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] furiouszagreb:
First of all, I did a factory reset. Then, as to what you suggested, I kind of used something in between... I did 100% do 0% and then charged the phone while OFF to 100% again and other time I did 100% to 0% and charged it while turning it on after couple %.

I also disabled EVERYTHING Bixby related AND I disabled Facebook running in the background.

The result are in, aaaaaaand.....

MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT!

I am now getting at least 7hrs 30mins with 70%/30% wifi/mobile data usage.

On WiFi Only, I can now get EASILY 9 hours SoT

See screenshots - #1 & #2 showing 7hrs 30mins wifi/mobile data. Screenshot #3 WiFi only, 8hrs 22mins WITH 22% battery to spare! So, easily 9 hrs SoT...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Hazzay88:
There you go. Something has done the trick for you. Congratulations
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] wer wo was:
Did this method also help with that "from 100 to 98 in 3 minute's" problem ?

Cause I've noticed the same behaviour

I charge the phone to 100% and after that it drops almost directly to 99%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
I think there is nothing to be fixed, as going from 100 to 99 or 98 in a couple of minutes is not really a problem, as you may have noticed along all the devices you may have had,( I have had quite a bunch since 1992) , each battery model behaves different, there are batteries that hardly show any drop the first 1, 2 hrs, then abruptly show a large drop, some do it at the beginning, some at the middle, some at the end, this last one case is particulary common, with this note10+, yes, the first 2% drops very quickly, but the mid part seems to last longer, so, in the end, what really matters is the TOTAL time you get from a charge, not when it apparently drops abruptly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Bad Screen on time

Looking at everyone's device SOT, I guess mine is not very good. I have Note 10+ 5G

Please note below the images:

Image 1 - i.imgur.com/kgJA8ah

This when I was constantly on 5G, with a minimal fluctuation to 4G (No Wi-Fi)

Image 2 - i.imgur.com/DRwKyFZ

This is mostly at 4G as there is no coverage of 5G in this area (No Wi-Fi)

Is my device faulty, or any setting that can improve battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
This time 2 sim cards (one with realy bad reception, searching signal a lot). Wifi, mobile data non stop on, screen fixed to around 55%. Resloution max, no power save, exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
You mean that's on high performance under power mode without adaptive power saving..

Woah! That's impressive..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
My bad...it is on adaptive, but I dont notice any diffrence...I dont even remember turning it on ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Haha.. still it's good enough..

Wonder what's wrong with mine...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
After more than two weeks of usage, I confirm almost 10 hours SOT, exynos variant with adaptive power saving activated. I believe that this adaptive system is really good after it gets used to our usage and adjusts the phone's power based on this usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Does this adaptive power saving in some way affect

Gmail, or anything else? When I started using my note 10+, all the power saving features came activated, and first thing I noted was precisely not getting emails until opening the app, so, I deactivated the adaptive power saving and the battery optimizations, set some apps to always sleep and the important ones forme to be not monitored, as I did all these, I am not sure which one or what setting made the mails to sync properly, o, in the end what fixed the gmail issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
Well, I don't use Gmail since I rely on the browser for anything related to my email. But the adaptive system for example didn't affect whatsapp or other instant messaging applications although it ran most of the time on the medium power saving mode while the device was locked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Nerroxy:
Note 10 plus exynos

So removed phone from charge around 8am and at 19pm I have 15% left and 6 hour on screen time.

I use naptime most apps are set to sleep FHD resolution ,brightness 30-50% no auto sync /bluetooth/nfc .

around 2-3 hours of day running on 4G rest of the day mostly wifi.

Still battery life seems quite shorter than compared to other ones.

As I am new cant upload images It seems.

But should I take my Note 10 plus for warranty check up ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Huawei has amazing battery life.. I still get all my notifications. However, EMUI can't come near one ui in terms of functionality.

First image is sot with 40% still left on LTE.

Second image is standby sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] paullu:
Why cell standby use so much power?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
I'm unable to understand how some people are getting 8-10 hrs of SOT and some are in the range of 4-5 hrs.. that's a massive gap..

P.S.- I'm in the 4-5 hr range ?

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I guess that's because of the network strength in your area.. the lower it is, the more battery it depletes..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rmn.br:
I'm impressed and that's just 3rd day after factory reset. Maybe 70% time on LTE

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
wow! never seen such a number for the SOT !

How much did you get before you did a factory restet? Do you believe that this reset is what gave you such an amazing battery life or are there other tweaks?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rmn.br:
I have Note10+ 5 days and debload something wrong so performed factory reset. Tweaks, debloading, Sleeping apps and restrict background data. I had whole day phone in hands, I even didn't sleep...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] MatroxD:
Impressive! As I cannot get past the 10 hour mark, and am dying to get to 11! Your results gave given me hope and something to work towards...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] A_DrunkTeddyBear:
What did you remove? If you dont mind me asking.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
I'm not able to go past the 4-5 hrs range but I do get a full day's usage..

Seeing everyone's SOT I'm confused if there's a problem with my device or it's just some settings that can make such a huge difference.. :|
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Cyrax-001:
keep in mind that most of SOT impressive results are achieved while web browsing or youtube watching.. etc, so no heavy gaming or 4k videos I suppose. Another crucial factor is the network signal, you get better battery life (both in screen on time and standby )when you've got a good reception and vice versa. In addition to the power mode of your device, the high-performance mode requires more power apparently.

Rather than that, you should be on the same level of power consumption unless your Note has some hardware issue (Which I believe isn't the case).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rmn.br:
Most questions are answered here. Guys my time is very limited for summarize all "tweaks" and debloated stuff in one post, maybe later, remains me if I forget ;)

Have to excellent signal reception is the biggest part of great battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Jasmeetmokha02:
Thanks guys for elaborating.. maybe that's the case coz I never get more than 1-2 bars on my network signal at my place.. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ELMoro752:
Pretty happy with the SOT. I'm on the Samsung galaxy note 10+ 5g version sold in the UK. I've changed the network settings so the phone doesn't look for 5g networks since that only drains battery, and the fact that my carrier (three) haven't rolled out 5g for mobile devices in London yet.

Watching YouTube for 8 hours is going to give you a high SOT to start with. It is better to post results on mix usage to have a better overall understanding of SOT
