SOT on mostly WiFi, as have been working from home. Optimised power mode and tap screen for AOD. Battery 100% to 10%. Mostly Internet browsing on Chrome, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

120hz FHD+ - 4.5 to 5 hours SOT (up to 19 hours since full charge)

96hz FHD+ - 5 to 6 hours SOT (up to 23 hours since full charge)

60hz WQHD+ - 6 to 8 hours (up to 1 day 4 hours since full charge)

Will be on 3 day holiday break next week so will see how battery lasts when mostly on 4g.

Snap or Exy? Which model?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] flipsonic:
S20+ Exyos. Here's a screenshot (display at 120hz)

Also, I do use Bixby routines to set to Medium power mode from 1am to 6am.

Would be good to test out a few days on 4g.

Hello guys

Day 3 with my s20plus exynos

2 sims, off high accuracy GPS, brightness 50-55%, 120 hz, many notifications disabled, aod on touch, mostly Facebook Instagram Chrome tapatalk, but didn't make any tweaks yet because I want to see how much it will be without.

So far 100-5% 3.30 sot and I am very disappointed..

Could be the reason of that awful sot the 2 sims? I see most of all without tweaks about 5 hours. Is that real after 1-2 weeks it will get better ? The auto optimized battery will help this ?

I've been happy with the battery on my snapdragon S20 varient. I've done zero tweaks or changes to try and eek out more SOT and as of this morning gsam is giving me an avg of 6hrs 21min SOT, lowest I've seen is 5hrs 40min. Brightness set to auto and usually ~75% w/ 100% outside during daytime, AOD on but tap to show. Optimized w/ adaptive power saving and 120HZ. Granted I'm not a big gamer, nor really push the device with high resource apps, its mainly just Gnews, Flipboard, Garmin Connect, Spotify and Poweramp. I do have on a Bixby routine set to disable Bluetooth, mobile data, turn on dark mode and medium power saving from 0100-0600 but that's it.

I know i could squeeze out more by dropping to 60hz, med power saving w/120hz via Bixby etc etc but for me this SOT is acceptable. On another note, i've noticed with adaptive power saving on, the device will stay @ 120HZ when it auto drops itself to medium power saving mode. Manually changing to med power saving does drop the device to 60HZ. Anyone know if this is a bug, or how its supposed to operate?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] cmkostas:
Exynos s20+ 4th day no more than 3.30 sot. How you can go around 6? Would be great if I could go there too.

It will be an app that you have that is running in the background eventhough you have exited back to home screen. You can use Accubattery to check which app is consuming the most mAh eventhough you don't use it much and then set in Sleeping Applications or Deep Sleeping Applications to include that problem app.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] pshych0:
Can you (or someone else) please explain how exactly you setup the second Bixby routine? There is no "not" connected to specific wifi rule in bixby routines. Are you using location or wifi signal strength rules?

And yes, setting 2G only while on home wifi, does seem to help a lot if your signal is kinda bad.

Hi. I tryed a lot to downgrade this 1.2% discharged with screen off. I used package disable and read a lot in this app and reddit but i can't get less than this 1.2. Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Meakii:
I had an issue with my sim card initially when I first got my s20+ it was literally draining battery like 20% overnight on airplane mode. I had no idea why. Then I changed my SIM card and the drain was no more. As a suggestion perhaps try taking one sim out and then the other to see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] ichigo91:
I'm using regular S20 with exynos chipset, I can get at least 5h30m sot but usually I can get constantly more than 6h sot per fully charged, I also set screen to WQHD+ 60hz with dual SIM card, I'm just uninstall & disabled some of unused apps/services only, screen brightness around 30-40% except when watching videos I set to 50% brightness, data + wifi, Bluetooth & gps on only when I need.

I went with S20 SD 9810 variant without any second thoughts and :D now I'm running at 120Hz at full spec, without any of the crybaby tweaks :D. Think about it and go for a SD variant future buyers, and avoid so much pain which would be unfolded in forums like these lol.

You can g get that in Europe..or it won t work ok in all countries...so congrats but the issue remains for rest of the world users that get Exycrap
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Nowa Concordia:
my region is also exynos, but i imported mine from hongkong, must have been cheaper than the exynos. but yeah i get your point, most can't do that, and shouldn't because if something goes wrong i better live with it rather going through all that hassle of reshipping to hongkong and getting the warranty claimed.

But collectively a strong message has to be sent to Samsung, people should boycott exynos for selling underperforming processors over a promotion done with Qualcomm units. (most of the reviews on youtube are done by people who use snapdragon variant).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] aldoblaga:
Hopefully there won t be any more need to boycott because Samsung stated they wont make custom exynos cores anymore and also the gpu will be made by AMD and thus superior to Adreno so here s hoping they keep their word. The next exynos will be the last for me if they don t, that s for sure.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] pshych0:
The Exynos situation is not as simple as "Samsung should stop making it and we all get SD". Instead, they should make exynos better, in order to compete with SD...because you know...competitions and all that. Otherwise top SD will just get more and more expensive each year.

On the other hand, my wife has a 4G S20+ Exynos for a couple of weeks. Excluding the first few days, battery life has been really good, 8-9+ hours of SOT, set to 60Hz FHD, indoor auto brightness, no power saving mode, mostly used on fb, chrome, whatsapp on home wifi with data off. Going to test what difference leaving data on while on home wifi, then without wifi and then 120 or 96Hz. But so far she's very happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] thecrab93:
Hi everyone, I'm getting similar SOT to some of you, like 4h30m to 6h, I had a P30 Pro before that had much better battery life, specially standby, is it normal? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] russellcausier:
I had same the p30 pro was a beast thought i was ugrading but that was pretty much as good and huawei got great battery an camera ??
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] thecrab93:
So I'm not mistaken thinking the P30 has better zoom camera (of not better camera overall) and much better battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] leoking3:
You are comparing apples with pears my friend. No samsung is a match for huawei, unfortunately. At least in the battery life department. I remember gettinf even 48 hours on a charge with tge P30 pro sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Jostian:
The 5x zoom in the P30 pro is excellent, way better than 5x in S20 Ultra, but its because the tele lens is actually 4x not 5x natively on the S20U, if you look at the quality at 4x it is very good and compares well to 5x of P30 Pro. Overall the Huawei has more natural processing, with the Samsung having slightly more processed look, and at least the Huawei can shoot RAW with all 3 lenses, with S20 range you can only shoot RAW with main camera. And yes battery life is insane with P30 Pro, 10 to 11 hrs SoT. but the Samsungs are more 'polished' UI wise.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] BLEK0TA:
jostian, you dont have a true, p30pro zoom is only 8mpx but s20ultra is 40mpx zoom and is much much more better in every detial, i have both phones and can compare. video on p30 is absolutely tragic, ai made photos oversaturated.. s20ultra is far far away
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] *Detection*:
Don't know if many people have this app installed, called Squid News, well I opened the Galaxy Labs battery stats and found over the past 7 days it was top of the list with over 25% battery drain

Now I rarely open that app and the stats were very low with 1-2mins usage and only 1m background usage, also had it set to sleep when not in use

I have since disabled Squid and I'm currently at 4h30m SoT with 50% battery life left

I'm wondering if this was the culprit because my battery was draining visually quickly doing just a few light things like WhatsApp and some XDA browsing all day

If this battery usage keeps up I'm heading for well over 8 maybe 9 SoT and I didn't even disable squid at 100% battery level, I knew something was draining it too quickly but system apps and all others were around 4-5% usage

Take with a pinch of salt but so far it seems hopeful, gonna charge to 100% and test from there after this run and will update

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Jostian:
Dude, no way, I also have both, it's got nothing to do with mp count it has to do with processing, p30 pro has way more natural processing, obviously with AI and scene optimiser off as they both give even more unnatural look to photos. And Huawei is only OEM that gives a jpeg directly from RAW in pro mode, all other OEMs' jpegs in pro mode are processed the same as in auto mode, whereas Huawei does not, it produces a jpeg directly from the RAW bypassing all the heavy handed processing in auto mode.

Hi to all

Here is my battery real life experience...

I had Samsung last time before 10 years, and now i thought about to give Samsung again a chance after this long time. (Wrong desicion)

In this time i have had lot of Phones, every Brand and every price ;)

So i know about SOT and how it should be.

Nobody should play with ADB and what else to extend battery Life! Thats silly and we all know that the phone and its own system should run well without playing setting-games on the phone!

So Here is my sad SOT:

3 hours ???

I hope that this is only a Software bug or something else, becouse here are lots of exynos with 4 hours and more !
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Zec94:
Hi everyone!

I bought a phone 4 months ago and i have problems with battery and overheating since day one

Max 3SoT

I hope for some solution otherwise the phone goes on sale :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Jostian:
So after much tweaking, and mistakes I'm now finally happy with my SoT on my S20 Ultra LTE, and its consistent which is good, so not getting 8 hrs SoT when watching videos and 4 hrs SoT using the phone normally etc. But with data off (4G off as it does ping towers even with data off), screen on FHD+ with 96 Hz refresh rate, location off unless needed for location, apps I dont use often in deep sleep mode, and most others (that I use now and again, but get notifications from) in sleep mode, I have Naptime installed which does help a bit, dark UI, and then a raft of ADB uninstalled apps (made many mistakes and had to reinstall certain ones) but with Samsung app store/themes/Cloud working as I use them, dont uninstall the google docserviceui (something like that) otherwise you wont be able to give write access to micro SD card (took me sooo long to figure that out!) and dont remove the Samsung kgclient (or something like that) phone will immediately lock. Knox working but all the work/enterprise stuff off, and bixby and dex gone.

So I'm getting around 7hrs to 7 and a half hrs SoT, and around 2 to 3 days between charges, obviously if I used my phone more intensely the SoT would go up a bit cos I lose a bit with standby drain over the 50 to 60 hrs between charges, (around 0.5% an hour).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Zec94:
It's sad that you have to adjust so many things to make the battery last longer.

I just did an update but still the same thing

I don’t want to change so many options for a new phone
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Jostian:
True but we made the choice to get the phone so you can either not change anything and make peace with 4 odd hrs SoT or tweak and get 7 odd hrs SoT, simple. I chose to tweak cos there is so much i don't use and don't need, so why not get rid of it... There is nothing that i need or use that i got rid of.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] mmppolton:
yeah i doint like how samsun make the batter so small to me if it get 7 hours screen it 7 hours with 120 hz and 5g enable start to think i shuld sell the phone and get something differ that get closer to it batter life i have to charge mine phone e 2 time a day

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] digitaljeff:
If your concerned about battery drain overnight the best thing to do is create a Bixby routine to go on during set hours shutting things off. See the pic as an example if what I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] leoking3:
After being extremely happy with the iPhone 11 Pro Max, with the battery life that cannot be compared to any android flagship, I decided to go back to Samsung and see how its holding up. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a SD S20 Ultra , even if I am in Europe. First charge gave me 7:30 h SOT, with 20 hours of total use: AOD touch to show, 120Hz, data and wifi combined, as needed; youtube, facebook, instagram, mostly whatsapp; a little gaming. Second charge gave me 6 h SOT , but with around 33 hours of total use, and the same patterns as before (it is my usage pattern after all: :), just an hour or so of video and the rest about the same. Seems fine to me. PS: it doesnt heat up like the Exynos (I tested that too a while ago), which sucks :)) Cheers!

S20+ Exynos CPU

5h48m in 25h13m from 94% to 1%

Wi-Fi On, Data Off, Location off, dark mode on, sync on and on 96 hz.

Bixby routine to stop everything during the night. After 8hrs during the night i lose around 4-5%.

Added to deep sleep all the apps which i don't access. Wi-Fi power saving mode and data saver on. Probably another half an hour with 60 Hz and those 6% to charge it full. This is after 1 week of use with 1 factory reset done because first 2 days was at 3,5 hrs SOT.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] Us3rNam3d:
I feel sad for Samsung users after reading this thread. Being one since the first S, all the way until my last one (S9+)..I always had to tweak a lot of settings in order to get decent SOT. After I switched to Huawei i have no such issues. Consistent SOT 7hrs+ with NO tweaks. I am sad because i have always LOVED Samsung phones and I am used to them. I don't know why Samsung is getting away with crappy battery life, inferior chips and other things... this needs to stop.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] bibbycu:
So many negatives things to say about the phone, i didn't document before buying,didn't think in 2020 we're so scammed, better would have been an one+8. After two days with just data without Wi-Fi i can't be more disappointed.

I disabled "Adaptive Brightness" yesterday and set my screen to about 60%, my SoT improved massively, I was at around 7h SoT with 50% battery left with medium usage of WhatsApp / browsing / YouTube

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] katanel:
That's not bad!

On my 20+ Exynos:

4h37m SOT down to 15% in April - when I bought it and use Smart Switch.

4h47 down to 15% now in September - after a full reset, setting on Dark Mode, Adaptive Power, Location is on, AOD on tap, Scan nearby devices =off and remove/disable most of the bloatware with ADB - still have to remove some of them

After few updates the phone seems to heat less but battery doesn't improve much - I still have to recharge it in the evening around 8PM (from 15% to 25%) to get overnight when I'm charging it.

It would be nice to arrive to 5h-5h30 SOT down to 15% but the situation is quite sad:

- a lot of bloatware installed

- poor performance of the CPU itself

My girlfriend's P30 Pro has easily around 7-8h with not tweaking!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] S20PT:
I have mine a few days now and i notice a little improvement with the overheating issue but battery performance still kinda sucky.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Real Life Re] ichigo91:
It's opposite to me, when I use Data only, I can barely get 7h sot, it might be because of 4G/LTE on my area is not really stable, that why when I using WiFi only I got really good battery life with my S20 Snapdragon, battery can last more than 1 days and half if I use with moderate usage.
