Lol wish I had time to watch videos for hours like some..[emoji1787][emoji23]..Im just being an ass. Its none of my business what one does. All this battery talk ...it will be different for everyone. But these 10 hour screen times..hmm. Let's just enjoy our devices people. But throwing a video on for 1hr30min..then another for 1hr20min is not using your phone. Its very easy to get a high screen time doing that. But again to each his own. And for some..not all its clear to see when phone was charged. I for one hate the new battery stats Samsung now has. But let's all just have fun with this amazing device[emoji481]

I've had my USA SD 512gb unlocked Note 20 ultra for about 3 weeks . The battery life is horrendous. I get about 5 to 6ish hours of battery life with just phone calls, few text messages, watching YouTube, answering emails.

If you actually use your phone it most certainly cannot last you through the day without having to charge once or twice. Terrible, terrible battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] WizP:
I've got the HK SD version in the UK.

Took it off the charger at around 7:30am with 0hrs SOT

À mix of wifi/LTE browsing. Almost everything on, except I'm on FHD+, 5G is off, AOD is off, screen rehresh is on 60hz and Adaptive power saving is on.

Just been browsing almost 4hrs straight on chrome, Google News, amazon app and Ali express.

Could easily get over 9hrs SOT based on the last few days.

It's a big upgrade from my note 8 which would be nearly dead by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ekerbuddyeker:
I agree. Love the device. Hate the battery drain. I'm at 60% after only 3.5 hours. Not doing anything special. I'm shocked at how bad battery life is. Worse still coming back to Samsung from Apple
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Proday:
A bit hevier usage today (7+ hours)...all on (except nfc), wifi 95% of time, 96hz screen (all the time).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] black96ss:
SOT with snapdragon unlocked was very poor for a week. Was only getting 4.5 hours SOT with full.brightness and heavy usage. My note 10 plus was 6.5 -7. I changed two.settings which were (turned off 5g and download the app to adjust the refresh rate to 96 hrtz). Since that change im.not getting consistent 7-8 hours SOT with the same usage patterns. So I may try turning one of those on at a time so break down further to see which one is the igger battery hog culprit.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] cory.duffus:
is this at 60hz or 120hz
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] edwardob:
mix actually....i use 96hz(i changed it). for a few apps and 60hz for most especially internet

60hz is forced with Google maps anyway...

you can change automatically with Bixby

internet is the biggest eater of battery... for me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Mtha86:
Anyone knows the SOT with 60 hz and wqhd? (Exynos, since i live in europe)

The only thing holding me back is the battery and the price...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] bmonteiro:
Using the exynos version for about 3 days. Battery seems better than my note10+. Medium usage (using the 120hz + medium battery saving), 100% wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] njan_ivide:
Battery gets destroyed when you actually use n20u for its core purpose, to make calls.. so I average around 7hrs at 60hz as default and few apps running at 96hz and browser at 120hz with dynamic refresh app. But on days when I make 1hr calls I am down to 4hrs before the battery falls to 15%. Same with camera app, it kills the battery without mercy. BTW Exynos here and screen res 720p.

Hows the battery life doing with september update guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] phsetaknev:
Im using the Package dissabler pro and disabled Bixby and ANT services and others too but when I open the GSAM battery monitor and see the power consumption stats it still shows Bixby and ANT and other processes draining power. Not sure which one is not working properly. Battery is still ****, not even getting me through the day.

Using Adaptive refresh rate, Medium power saving, Greenify to kill the apps, 50% brightness

I have the exynos version. Happy with the battery backup
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] gloege:
SNAP DRAGON HERE...

odd... i have my theory. either they screwed up some phones or have binning issues or with so many android updates there is an app that is not optimized for android 10, because with my usage i get anywhere from 8 to near 10 hours. but i turn off my data when not using it. and since my screen is breaking in i can turn down the brightness. the screen flicker is not as bad as it used to be. i hope it gets better the more it breaks in.

my usage on my last 8 and a half hours screen on trip was over 3 and a half days.

i burn in idle 4% every about 12 hours

that is with 1 hour on screen listening to 720p youtube music on LDAC codec in highest transfer rate to my sony xb43 with 24 bits

about 3 hours of calls

some more setting up poweramp trying to get the best sound with music going. yes for 3 hours 4 mins with same codec settings to my bluetooth speaker

and 4 hours of dolphin browser

i got apps in deep sleep and sleep

i manually stopped apps from running when i am done, even the bluetooth, even system apps

i have disabled apps

dark mode too

i might have been able to get more out of the battery but i think i have phantom vibrations

How are your temps so low? I have the SD version and I am sitting at 84F at the lowest at complete idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] MatroxD:
Hmm. I never paid attention to the temps. I guess it's because most of the time(like 95%) I'm in a climate controlled environment. 72 at work, 70 at home(saltwater/ reef tank/ system and tons of lights, so that keeps it warm year around).. Besides that, honestly, no clue. Never even thought of paid attention to it as I mentioned before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Exynos.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] itvaletchu:
Over 5h screen on time and 61% left. Mainly watching videos only on wifi. 60hz and Exynos here. Idle drain is not good, but battery drain in use seems to be a decent. Only 6,5%/h about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] phsetaknev:
Guys!!! This is seriously not good. The battery drain is too much, Im not sure if Im reading the stats incorrectly or something else but the stand by drain is 2% per hour. I killed all the apps, many of them are in deep sleep, I reduced the screen brightness to like 30%. There is some app thats draining it, how can I find out??? Im using the GSAM battery monitor app and in the Android system --> Included packages I see the services like Bixby, ANT etc which I disabled from the Pakcage disabler pro app. I dont understand!

Note 20 Ultra 5G Exynos (12GB)

After 5 days of using phone. Only thing i can say, this is crap. I cant get 4 hours of SOT. At using phone, i got up to 41° temperature. I have a backup from note 10+.

I am using 120Hz refresh rate, if i want to use 60hz, then i should stay on note 10+.

Very disapointed, so much money on phone, and cant get 4 hours of SOT.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Btw i am at 20% battery now, 3h27m, as in picture below..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] roryh86:
Sitting at 50% now with just over 4 hours SoT. N9860 variant on ATI3 firmware.

Power mode optimised. Adaptive power saving off. Adaptive battery on. Haven't moved any apps into sleep or in deep sleeping.

Took off charger at 100% at 2am. Woke up just before 12pm, was at 95%. 5% in 10 hours standby.

Running at FHD+ 120Hz. WiFi and Bluetooth on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] roryh86:
Just to follow up on my previous post, ended up with 8hrs SoT + 23 hrs standby. Using Snapdragon N9860.

I have to say, stellar battery so far, super impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] behemot24:
Go on a trip and take photos and videos without putting your phone on battery saving mode. You will see a stellar maximum 3 hours total battery autonomy :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] roryh86:
Mine wasn't on power saving and I haven't done any tweaks for apps. Just on default optimized and no adaptive power or deep sleep. I doubt it's gonna go from 31hrs total battery to 3 hours total. I did take photos in that screenshot, but not videos. Camera was on 20min.

---------- Post added at 01:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Almost 15% of your battery is gone on 2 apps that had combined 2 minutes of SoT (ghost+aodnotify). That's a lot of battery drain in background. And that's not even over a full charge as you still had juice in the battery, so it's probably closer to 15-20% if I'm not mistaken.

Not saying that's an excuse but it's a lot. Also, I had the Exynos and switched to Snapdragon, it's a lot better. If you can make the switch I recommend you do. I felt the battery got better on the Exynos though over time, but I in general I'd get around 6hrs SoT with 120Hz. And up to 7.5-8hrs on medium power mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Ivosv82:
Guys, all is wireless signal. If you have bad signal no good battery. Good signal - good battery. Turn off 5G for 20% more battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] behemot24:
Yep, I also noticed that activating 5G is sucking the power. And also the brightness level: playing with the phone in the bed will give you much more SoT than using in outside on a sunny day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] behemot24:
I agree with you that Snapdragon is better than Exynos, I've changed it too. Exynos is a pure disaster. Snapdragon behaves reasonably with a few tweaks.

But still: going up in the mountains where the signal is low, having a high brightness level because of the sun, and taking lots of pictures and filming, the battery won't last more than 3 stellar hours. It happened to me last weekend, so it's a fact not a supposition, whether you doubt it or not. And it's a shame for a 1300 USD phone.

Now it looks like your phone behaves better than many others that we can see in this forum. This could be due to:

- Your phone's hardware is better than others, although it's the same model. This would mean that Samsung delivers different phones labeled with the same model number. A very expensive lottery! I use to change my Samsung Note every year to get the latest model, but in this case I wouldn't buy a Samsung phone again in my life.

- You have less applications installed and less accounts to synchronise, better network signal or whatever else different usage conditions. OK, but the battery should last one full day in real life conditions and with no tweaks, no mater how many apps and accounts I have. And it's not the case.

Above all, having to order my phone in China because the European model is a catastrophe tells a lot about how Samsung values its customers worldwide. I only have Samsung phones since the Samsung Galaxy S about 10 years ago, but I'm considering switching to another brand seing that they can't deal with battery issues (don't forget about the Note 7 exploding bombs too...).

i`m getting awesome battery life on my korean snapdragon version, always around 6-7 hours sot with 120 hz enabled , it gets me troughout the day easily!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Ivosv82:
This reading of SOT is not correct. As you can see you still have some SOT between 12-3am before the charge. Samsung is presenting SOT for the last 24 hours not from the last full charge.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] kaplanfa:
I don't see the point of sharing a screen with the SOT on it anymore. This phone's battery is a disaster, period. It is like having a Ferrari car and being have to fuel up every 50 km.

I know won't do much of a difference, but I am sharing this bad experience on every social media page or under any Samsung advertisement to prevent people from buying this phone. I have already started to think to sell it since it is too late for me return the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Matziatzu:
I don't have an issue with the battery of this phone for my usage.

I have the exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] roryh86:
Yeah I'm mostly at home working from home so haven't tested it out in glaring sun all day. Going on holiday in a week so I'll test it out more later. I know Note 7 was a disaster, and that was unfortunate, but to be fair I've always had great battery life with Samsung phones. It's never been an issue for me. Especially my last phone, S10 Plus, that was amazing.

We have to also bear in mind that 120Hz is a new tech on phones, so we're very used to 60Hz phones and our mind is always comparing it to older phones we've owned. I think this is unfair, it should either be compared to other 120Hz phones or you set the display to 60Hz and compare it to older phones.

That being said, the Note 20U could've done with a bigger battery. I think if it had 5000mah, and got an extra 1.5hrs screen time, no-one would be complaining. I think we'll also see some slight improvements with future updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] phsetaknev:
With the latest September security patch update the battery is a little bit better now, getting close to 1 day. Earlier it was 20h and now its 23-24h. Didnt change a thing, same settings, same usage. But still the Stand by drain is NOT good
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] roryh86:
Check screenshot below, this is what you want to see when your phone is in standby. It should almost be a flat line, and when you click on the flat line part you should see "No App Usage". If you do see apps using background activity, click on them and deny background activity.

For some reason I used to see Chrome with hours of background activity in standby and some other apps. Obviously don't touch things like WhatsApp and email apps where you need notifications. But these won't constantly use background activity anyway.

Edit: easier way to test it, is leave your phone unplugged overnight and check next morning.

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 PM ----------

Consistently getting 8hrs screen time on 120Hz optimised power mode with mixed app usage on Snapdragon. On 60Hz I'm sure this phone would easily do 10hrs.

Will try to test over next few weeks how it deals on holiday in sunny places and more camera use.

Swapped phone.

After changing Note from Exynos to SD, difference is huge. Battery temperature is always around 30-35C, wirh heavy tasking.

Battery, amazing, at the moment at 69%, and i got almost 2.5 SOT.

I cant belive what the difference is between SD and Exynos, for same money. Europe users are robbed for good phone and got poor Exynos, which is for 20% worse phone.

To much heating, high battery temp, max 4, 4.5 SOT.

Got this today

hello.

I just got this today in my N20U Exynos LTE variant a mix of 4g and wifi with a mix of medium power save and balanced and every app not using is in sleep or deep sleep.

usually in my workplace, the signal is very bad that after 9 hours I end up with 50 % with less than an hour of battery life.

now a full day in-home I tried this and my god this device is a beast even with the Exynos.

Just remove a 38 min from the SOT that before the full charge, still perfect considering the long gaming sessions and forgot to mention all in 120 Hz .

ATI2 update
