Glad it's not just me. Still love the phone. I usually charge it when I'm sleeping so it's fine. Might have to give it a refresh cable charge before bed so it's not at zero when I go to bed.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] desantim:
It's definitely a new experience for me with the charging. I came from a oneplus 7 pro to the note 10+ to this and those could go from dead to full in under 40 minutes. This phone is much slower charging overall. I Def. Don't regret buying it, i just wish it came with a cheap case to get me by until good ones were out and the charging was on point.

I charged to full after receiving the phone yesterday. Took it off the charger around 6:45p. It's now 1:15p the next day and I'm at 9% battery remaining. I had mixed use between social media, YouTube, Spotify and some light gaming with using the big screen 85% of the time. Screen brightness and display settings are all default.

Managed 7 hours SOT which should improve after a few days.

Yesterday, I got six and a half hours SOT with and hour and a half of phone calls. If the battery life continues, I'll be happy. Had the adaptive brightness on and the adaptive screen refresh rate on. Only social media was WhatsApp and Discord.

also am part of the 6-7h screen on time gang. not intensive usage though.

This is a SOLID TIME FOR ME JUST OVER 8 HOURS on screen and as you can see i was playing a game for a hot minute.

5.5 hours 4g full day. main usage on inner screen .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] selferng:
its actually pretty bad for a 4500mah phone. it need to be constantly charged :)..

Some of the posters posting images from the stock battery usage chart fail to mention that those screen on times also include duration of when the device was plugged in charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] abragred:
not the best, somewhere around 6 hours sooo
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] error311:
Max brightness and aod im at like 4-5 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] njan_ivide:
Its actually not 8hrs. Use an app called accubattery for a charge to charge battery backup time. The standard builtin battery monitor in samsung phones are measuring battery life from 12 to 12 midnight. So as your screen shot clearly shows, you charged the phone around 3am, so 12-3am screen on time plus 3 till full charge if the screen was on, all these count towards the screen on time as per samsung. Which obviously doesn't show the actual screen on time per charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] Krazuto:
Did u guys measure the sot when your z fold 2 have finish measuring the usage pattern and shows how long battery life left or before? so far still learning usage pattern getting around 7 hours of sot with both inner and outside screen usage. pretty solid especially with 120hz display :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] atvxda:
Fold 2 owner for 1 week now. I am averaging between 4-5.5 hours of SOT and this is over 24h (average) on one charge.

My device is currently set up with adaptive refresh, adaptive brightness, radio is set to 5G Auto (so I'm bouncing around 5G, LTE+ & LTE) and mixed unfolded/folded but mostly unfolded (30/70).

I'm quite impressed considering my N20U gets 3.5 to 5h of SOT at QHD/60HZ, same 5G settings.

I'm seeing about 1-2% drop per hour when not on the charger. Still running default settings.

Ongoing Standby battery drain test - minimal use..

After day 1

Standby drain is excellent! I took my Fold 2 off the wireless charger around 9am yesterday (Sunday 20th September) morning. I only used it to check and respond to messages, Instagram & emails and to briefly check news apps and a few other little things for a total of 47 mins screen on time. Mostly I only used the main outer screen but once or twice used the inner.

I only have the AOD to show when the screen is tapped, Wi-Fi & Location are on but currently Bluetooth isn't as I don't need it.

It is now 7:44am and it shows 75% and 1 day 13 hours left. Obviously it won't last that as I don't usually use my phone so little but it shows the standby drain is fantastic.

View attachment 5101305

Update: After almost 2 days! Standby drain is definitely excellent!

OK again with minimal use - short calls, checking and responding to messages, emails, Instagram and checking news and a few other bits, mostly on the smaller outer screen but moving to the big screen on occasion. I had 59 mins screen on time yesterday so a total of 1 hour and 46 mins so far in almost 2 days and the battery is currently at 48% with 1 day left.

The phone has been off charge since around 9am on Sunday 20th September. If I can keep this up we could see the batteries last at least 3 and maybe 4 days with minimal use.

This is not normal usage. I am trying to see how long it could last if needed and could force myself to use it less but I don't like leaving emails and messages unchecked/unanswered.

View attachment 5101927

Update: After almost 3 days! Wow just wow!

OK yesterday the phone got a little more use mostly on the smaller outer screen but moving to the big screen on occasion also Bluetooth was enabled for a bit whilst I was listening to some music while out and about. I had 1 hour and 26 minutes screen on time yesterday so a total of 3 hours and 12 minutes mins so far in almost 3 days and the battery is currently at 13% with an estimated 8 hours and 11 minutes left!

As mentioned previously, the phone has been off charge since around 9am on Sunday 20th September. If I hadn't used the phone as much yesterday I think it would definitely stretch to 4 days on standby & if you can manage to not use it at all it could stretch to 5 days maybe? But with a phone like this how can you not use it?

Again, this is not normal usage. I am trying to see how long it could last if needed and could force myself to use it less but I don't like leaving emails and messages unchecked/unanswered. Notifications are on. The only things not enabled are Bluetooth as, working from home, I am not using it at the moment and I rarely use NFC so that is disabled. Everything else I use is enabled with notification on, edge lighting for messaging apps and AOD set to display when the screen is tapped.

I have the Power Mode settings set as Optimised but with Adaptive power saving selected. At the current battery level it has changed to Medium power saving where it has disabled Always On Display.

Sorry to double post but updating a post initially started a couple of days ago doesn't show as updated on the post overview screen so it's dropping down the list of threads.

Please check my post above. I have managed to get 3 days out of the battery so far by using as little as possible to test the standby drain and it still has some life left in it. This is after charging twice since receiving. The first to top off while setting up and the second on a wireless charger before this test. As the device gets used to usage and has a few charge/discharge cycles it could possibly get 4 to 5 days of standby with minimal usage. Although I have Bluetooth off at the moment I don't see the point in disabling too many features as then a smart phone isn't a smartphone.

As much as I want to see just how far this can go - maybe I could leave checking news/tech updates & test while kids are on half term so less calls and messages - this phone is too gorgeous to not pick up and play with and being a phone and tablet in one means it will get more use than my previous phones have.

May be I found how change the colors of today bars in WM6 if you don't have a program that do it, or may be Im late to know how I do it, if that it is plis moderator erase this thread plis.

With a REGISTRY EDITOR follow this path:

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Color/BaseHue...

change the decimal value and the color of bars will paint on other color. For example: 160 for Black, 370 for watergreen, 250 gray, 850 green, 650 blue, 1000 red etc etc.

I like and dislike (I know it's weird) the "sound" of the hinge... Yes, if you are in a really quiet place, you hear the brushes in the hinge doing their job. It's nice though, knowing that they are their, as advertised. But it kinda sounds a bit awkward at the same time.

Maybe it's just me
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] Duncan1982:
Well I have had my fold 2 for a few days now, upon the unboxining and first initial impressions I most certainly didn't go oh this is fragile. The fold 2 feels extremely well constructed and after watching Zacks video I feel even more confident. People say oh but the inner display will scratch with your fingernails (i can't speak for everyone) but I personally cut mine :laugh:

I am not going to detract this amazing device by getting a case , I have however got my Dbrand skins on the way.

Personally I feel safe and secure and credit to Samsung for the great improvements........:good:

definitely feels better than i thought it would when i took out the box other day. more solid than the Fold(1)

I actually love the 1-handed use on the front screen. For my hands it's perfect for swiping. It's also comfortable for shooting pictures in candy bar mode.

Full screen is comfortable but the device is slippery without a case. Balance feels similar to an iPad mini or Surface Go.

I would like to have a list where each of us who use skins for MS can post the name of the skin which works with latest 2.1.1.

I have tried some of them and most don't.

Any other?

Mods, if you believe that this thread is redundant, close it, but believe me that going into very large threads where most of the skins are not compatible with latest release of MS is very very annoying....

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Real Life Review] Roman102:
I like it!

After having Note 20 Ultra for a few months, The device was too big for me.

So I went with the Fold 2. Also, because I wanted the flex tech since samsung showed it somewhere in 2012.

The outer display is clean and sharp. But if you look closely you can barely see the pixels. You can see the distortion of colors.

But generally, I use the outer screen a lot, and even for watching videos sometimes. And I don't notice any low resolution or so when in normal use.

The inner screen?

Its gorgeous! Not like Note 20 Ultra gorgeous, but not a big downgrade.

The screen isn't the sharpest out there. It's a little bit sharper than inner display, but still not very sharp, and sometimes feels like its a bit blurry.

When you look closely, you can see color distortion, and (I think because it's a flexible screen), the pixels are weird. You don't see the pixels individually, but you still see this kind of small color distortion around the clock numbers etc.

Summary:

Not the sharpest display out there.

But if you are using the phone further than 20cm away from your face, then it's sharp, and you don't notice anything.

And I also like that it has 120hz on full resolution. Inside.

My rating? I'm happy, Note 20 Ultra screen is sharper tho. (Not when in 120hz mode)

If you compare Note 20 Ultra 120hz mode with Fold 2 inner display, go for the Fold 2.

Ok, im really frustrated by certain things on the diamond, so much so im thinking of selling the diamond....

I love most of the features but a few things really annoy me...such as:

Why when a call connects, does the screen switch off?? This is really annoying when your listening to voicemail, for obvious reasons...

Secondly, i CANNOT switch my input type from FULL QWERTY, i change it, and then when i go back into INPUT, its FULL QWERTY again...why?

Thirdly, when entering a text, i dont want to view a full convo, and the last word of the text remains in the predict part, meaning when you click close, it asks if you want to save to drafts?

If im being stupid, then someone please explain....if not, can anyone assist? Please?
