Just got my Note 20 Ultra 5G (Exy) about 4 days ago, and after first full charge, with some tweaking I got 7hr 52min SoT and 2 days 16 hrs, which is better than the S20U that I had about a month ago. Think Samsung fine tuned things a bit with the Note 20, so I'm quite chuffed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] michelino159:
Hello! :) I don't have any problems with Note20Ultra yet. I have the version with snapdragon(HK). It's impeccable. Did you get your Note20U? Congratulations and use it with pleasure! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
I never thought we had problems , we merely created them ? ? I bought an exynos version this time around, as I needed to debunk all the fake internet rumors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] zanderswigan:
Second full charge. Not too bad I'm on the 1st September security patch update. Not had the October update with the supposed battery improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
OneUI 3 beta brings back what's needed:

Can see Screen on time since last full charge, without being "reset" at midnight.

how did you installed? is it ready in India?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
Yeah I'm enrolled to the beta program, so got the OTA update(India).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] peksi:
Can you share your tweaking? I can't get more than 5hr 30min on exy version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
For me, 5G off as no 5G here and don't want phone pinging for 5G (eats battery) and data off when in WiFi area, i have gone into settings and put all apps i don't need into deep sleep. And also put data off and background battery use off for all apps i don't need, in settings/apps. I have installed Naptime with aggressive doze activated including location off when phone goes to sleep. I have uninstalled a bit of bloat using ADB. That's some of the main stuff, I can give more detail stuff if the above helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] a2kay:
Im interested which apps you uninstalled via ADB :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Rasser83:
This is after my first full charge. Exynos Note Ultra 5G. Guess it's okay:) Optimized mode. 120Hz. 5G is turned off since my carrier hasn't rolled it out yet. Everything else is default.

Cant upload picture for some reason.

9% left and screen on time says 07:14:10 since full charge with

Gsam battery monitor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
See attached for what I have uninstalled, I still use Samsung themes, wallpapers and Samsung app gallery so I haven't uninstalled them, but if you don't use them you can uninstall them to, hope it helps. and if you uninstall something and need it back then just do adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] freezingpoint:
50 hours of standby in total, 5h30 SoT - N9860

No gaming or watching videos, mostly web browsing and some photos taken. On wifi, probably 1 hr on 4G when I was out.

That's from 99% to 6%.

Didn't remove much bloatware, only facebook and disabled those that could be disabled in settings. I find that the bloatware don't consume battery like they used to before.

Same experience here. Seriously considering iphone 12 pro after being with Samsung for 10 years! Now iphone gives a lot more flexibility than before so why not!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
What has it got that's better, IQ definitely not, Apples jpeg processing is poor, check dpreview.com Mobile photography forum, iPhone 12 camera tests thread, check the crops, just a smeary mess. And no Spen which i find very useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
I'm petty happy with my SoT. Over 8 hrs again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
So what are your settings to get so good sot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] harsh9101:
Getting Pretty decent SOT

Little bit of background:

I have N986W , locked and i am still on September security patch (ATI5). I have disabled aod, edge screen and lightning, also motions and gestures and disabled almost 70 packages.

Here is a screenshot of an sot i got yesterday (from 100 to 1%)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
Aod off, 5g off (no 5g here and pinging tiowers looking for 5g eats battery) data off when in WiFi area, display at 96hz, Uninstalled packages i don't need via adb, apps i don't use often in deep sleep, and background data and battery off for those. Power mode is optimized.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
How can you have bluetooth on and not use any battery? What are the settings for that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] podface:
Does anyone know if there's a way to reset the battery usage learning without a fill hard reset?

I'm finding i get great sot if I'm at home but when at work where signal is very bad it drains like crazy and I resort to putting in airplane mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] thebiggboss180:
The same happens to me. I guess you can't help it with the bad signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] inningsdefeat500:
10hrs 20 mins

9860 Snapdragon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Another user that doesn't know how to read SoT times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] butchieboy:
And why let battery drain to 1%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] inningsdefeat500:
Actually please show me how - I saw folks showing this, unless I should use a proper app for this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] podface:
Samsung settings doesn't reset when fully charged... so u basically included 2 cycles...

I would say your sot is more like 6.5hrs not 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] inningsdefeat500:
They are continuous cycles, its after midnight, so it falls next day - I didn't charge between those 2

Edit:

I use Accubattery

Is this more appropriate?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
You have very sexy status bar signal strength bars.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] steelmm:
This is what you should do with andriod. Andriod is very hungry on system apps and battery all versions if you can understand this you can fix the issues
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] boostnek9:
What are you talking about? Lol kind of an ignorant comment if you ask me. You think I'm stupid? It's NOT what you should do with Android. If you do this then don't bother upgrading your phone, you don't use features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] rishab_s:
Mine, 4 days old snapdragon N9860. I guess it's still learning. So far I am impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Replying to my own thread. Since now I'm using a SD version. Less SOT but this screen shows all using mobile data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Ok third day and another test. Like the one before using only LTE mobile data.

Managed to get almost 6.5 hours of SOT for 50% battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
My SoT is great, I'm chuffed, I've debloated but still have all functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] racingmatt1:
Can you elaborated on how you did this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
I dont have data on while in wifi areas, have put apps I dont use often or need notifications to sleep or deep sleep, and have uninstalled via adb a range of apps, my RAM usage is typically between 3.4 to 4.8gig, see my full list of debloat in the attached txt file, but I use themes and app gallery, and Samsung acct for backup, so you could also uninstall those if you dont need them. I have my refresh rate at 96hz via adb, so SoT could be better but 96hz is just so much smoother than 60hz.

Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon wins battery test....

Withdrawn... Not really worth it..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Cool Person:
I am currently 2 hours 11 min screen on time with 80% battery with mobile data on All the time.

On One Ui 3.0 beta 2.

60hz..

Honestly the battery with 60hz is Amazing.

I had issues with the previous Notes with the battery life even tho they were only 60hz.

I haven't tested 120hz on One Ui 3.0 yet thought.

But I will check later. Maybe One Ui 3.0 will be better.

I think phones are not ready for 120hz

We need at least 25% better battery

Like 6500 Mah battery

We will see how it goes with one ui 3.0 at 120hz

Last day with one ui 2.5 120hz I was left with about 15% and 4 hours 30 mins at end of day
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Sprokyshark:
Thank you. Is it safe to uninstall system apps rather than disable? Did you encounter any errors or crashes?

Also if anything goes wrong after uninstalling will I have to reflash a stock firmware ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jostian:
no problems at all and easy to reinstall any system app with ADB.

Use this command to reinstall any system app: adb shell cmd package install-existing <name of package>
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] BHart1990:
The battery life on this phone is a disaster - today from 7:00 to 13:00 the battery dropped from 100% to 10%. I just hope this happens because of only one application... I will install gsam battery stats and try to find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] behemot24:
I had the same problem with the exynos. I didn't find a better solution than to get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Can someone tell me what this is?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
After reading through that list I noticed you didn't uninstall com.sec.location.nsflp2 . Also, would you know how to remove Nearby Share ? It's the google BS that shows on the top line whenever sharing photos etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
I'm having the same issue as you too and I still could not find a way to fix it. This cameraservice_proxy wakelock is hurting my battery life. I even installed Naptime to force doze and prevent wakelocks but somehow it can still run.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
This maybe will help you. I got more battery time. Disable them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
1. Can I know what is the app that you use to disable the packages and where can I get it?

2. Does disabling those packages affect the functioning of the cameras?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
I use Package Disabler Pro Samsung and cameras work fin for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
I've disabled the two packages that you mentioned. But it seems that it still does not reduce or prevent the running of the wakelock in the background and it continues to eat up my battery. Is there anything else that you did to resolve it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Here are my battery usage screenshots for your reference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
It is back to the same for me now so this did not work...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
After some observation, I've found out that this particular wakelock will always run in the background when I put my phone inside my pocket/bag or putting it on any surface facing downwards. When the phone is put on a surface facing upwards and the screen is off, it doesn't run or only for a bit if it does. But whenever it's inside my pocket or bag or facing downwards on a surface and the screen is off, it will definitely run and thus drains my battery.

I'm assuming that there could be a bug that causes the wakelock to run whenever the front camera is obstructed especially when it's inside my pocket or my bag. But right now I can't figure out what should I do to prevent it other than not putting my phone inside my pocket or bag which is very cumbersome.

Try to see if yours act the same way as mine did and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Yes this is the same for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Hmm I felt like at a dead end now to fix this problem. I can see that not all users experience it so I wonder what is wrong with some of the models including ours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Are you on Android 11?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
No. I'm on Android 10 OneUI 2.5. Are you on Android 11?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Same as you...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Delete this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
I see. In case you find any solution to this problem, can you please update it here to me? I will also do the same if I found any solution.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] FlamingGoat:
Just over 10hrs SoT on my two-day old imported Hong Kong snapdragon. Happy enough with that although wasn't using as many heavy background apps as usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Goku1992:
Wowo and this with over 5hours on mobile data? Thats Amazing! Are you debloated? My oneplus 7t pro gives about the same sot over 2-3 days but mostly wifi and dark mode evrywhere also in Samsung browser...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Battery saving mode is enabled. It don't count.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] FlatOutRU:
What's the app you were using?

I`m like getting 90% of apps usage
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] FlamingGoat:
App is gsam battery monitor. Been getting 10hrs last charges too. Mostly off Wi-Fi and on mobile. I use adaptive on 120hz. Have debloated Facebook but left nearly everything else on. Have put a lot of apps into deep sleep though. Power saving must've turned on because batt was down to 4%, don't use it otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Can I see the wakelocks that are running under Android System?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Cool Person:
7.28

Hours SOT

Mid power save mode

Just Browsing and facebook a bit of Camera

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Goku1992:
Looks like "raise to wake" is activatet? Try disabling it it uses the frontcam to detect if the phhone is in your poket :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Nope it's already disabled. All screen features like double tap to wake, lift to wake, AOD tap to show, accidental touch protection, etc that could have used the front camera have been disabled. Unfortunately, the wakelock still runs in the background every time I put it in my pocket and drains my battery. Even using Naptime to force doze couldn't kill it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Goku1992:
Wow thats **** mate :/ you can try to clean cache... A hard reset is also possible but a good amount of work if you have so many data...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
I've actually done a factory reset once last week. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to resolve this issue. FYI, this phone is a SD import set from HK so I couldn't claim for the warranty either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Goku1992:
But good you have the snapdragon the exynos wouldnt last as long :D have you tried package disabler/app freezer? Odisable/uninstall the package via adb?

Edit: seems like you tried it a few post ago. Sorry mate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
It's okay. Thanks for trying to help out anyway. 😄
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Do you have 2 sim in the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Venom0642:
AT&T Note20 Ultra 5G on Official Android 11 , SOT over 10 hrs .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
No I only have 1 sim card in my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Can I see what are the wakelocks that run under Android System?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
I had 2 sim card in my phone and one of them made my phone use more battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Ohh I see. But do you have any wakelocks that could have caused the battery to drain like in my case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Looks like this now. Had one called radio-inerface that was high. Picture nr2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
How about wakelocks that are running under Android System?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
It seems that you also have that cameraservice wakelock just like I do. But does it have an effect on your battery life especially during standby?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
It is much better after I install android 11
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Ohh I see. When you did receive Android 11? What variant are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
I use Odin to flash it. I have N986B.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
You have the Exynos version right? Which region's firmware that you flash it with?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
I think it was ORX
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Oh alright thanks mate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Seems to be ok now. But really don't notice any difference in standby drain. Same as before. Will need to check further. Attached is overnight when not being used.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Azzreiz:
Looks ok to me. I'll have to wait for Android 11 to see if it helps to mitigate my current battery drain because of that wakelock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] icharlesi:
I recently got android 11 in my exynos 990 and battery feels better in standby and general use.

First test from 90% to 23% right now with a SOT of 6,8h so I assume that now would remain 33% if I had charged until 100%. This probably would end in more or less 9h of SOT or maybe more depending on the use.

The usage I did was normal social media tasks, youtube, played mobile legends for 1h 44m and 20 min of pokemon go. All this on 60hz test. Didnt test in 96 or 120hz yet. At 96hz I would say a 7h SOT or more would be possible which is not bad.

Also tested now with ui 3.0 when 120hz are set in adaptative they drop to 60hz when not interacting with the screen, this also could help with SOT using 120hz, before the update 120hz were fixed. No heating issues aswell at least in my unit battery temp moves from 19 degress to 38 the hottest I've seen. Boguht this phone brand new at a price tag of 800€ so im pretty satisfied with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] joymishra:
I have a quick question here. So my country is India -INS ( of course Exynos) so, could I go ahead and update to ORX or BTU firmware and would not incur any issues? Could I do that? Does region specific firmware have performance difference on the same hardware? Any help appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ca12bon:
Okay so this is interesting... I've had the phone for about 5 months now, amd I think I'm getting better battery life than before.

6.5 hours SOT with around 17% remaining. I will include screenshots and my phone related activities today:

charged to 100% (before going to bed at 12pm)

- woke up and used the following apps:

Navigation, Bluetooth music, Reddit, Checking stock, Youtube, Browsing the net, Gaming (Histle Castle), and bits of other stuff (too little to mention)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] minh.tuanvu27:
I upgraded from my SD S10 to Note 20 Ultra Dual Sim Exynos couple weeks ago and Im getting dismal battery performance with about 2h35 to 3h15 of SoT, and I noticed the standby drain is pretty bad.

Before judging me: Yes I am fully aware of the whole Exynos 990 v Snapdragon thing, but because I couldnt get my hand on a dual sim N20U with SD so I settled with the exynos version, which I have seen people claiming getting about 5 hours of SoT vs. over 6 hours of SoT on the SD, and I would totally happy with 5 hr considering my usage. But barely getting over 3 hours of SoT is just plain stupid considering the price I paid for it.

I love everything else on the N20U, but having to carry around a power bank all the time is really annoying. Is anyone experiencing the same issue and any luck on fixing this? I am not sure if it is a software issue.

P/S: I attached a couple of screenshots for Battery Usage and Gsam Battery report. I did just reset my phone yesterday to see if the performance improves, no luck. I also did all the battery optimization settings + limit all background usage on all unnecessary app, including facebook and other social media apps..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] bmonteiro:
There's definitely something wrong here. I too have the Exynos and the minimum SoT on WiFi is 6.5 hours (i've achieved 7.5 hours yesterday for example). On 4G this decrease to 5 or 5.5.

The only thing that i have configured is putting all the apps that i don't need notifications into deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] skatopsixos:
I am about to get the Note 20 Ultra Snapdragon, can someone tell me how is battery life with the new UI 3.1 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Goku1992:
This is mine with powersaver :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
So in August of 2020 a 4500mAh battery was considered as an "only" in your eyes ? :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Looks like android 11 turned the Note 20 into Turd. Battery life in general hasn't been anything to write home about, bearing in mind my device is now a TMO branded device and on my 3rd day of usage. Prior to that it was an Exynos N20U and unlocked USA N20U. But I have debloated as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Not bad considering TMobile spyware diags is also running. A few more tweaks here and there I should be good to go. I base my SOT generally for battery usage of approx 40%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] elmor0:
What's your biggest wakelock sucker within Android System?

Attached are my stats.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Good question. It's not very similar to yours.
