Internet browsing (10,5hrs) is a tad behind the efficient iPhone 5S, but FAR ahead even the Note 3
3D gaming is also topping the charts (4,6hrs)
The Galaxy S5 is now smartphone.bg's endurance champion

Damn, impressed!
Specially considering that amount of browsing time on an AMOLED screen. I think movie playback will be even higher due to AMOLED advantages.

The same was with note 2 on 4.1.1. Great battery life with 7-8h screen time and now with new updates i have 4h screen max with the same apps. So don't be so optimistic.

Under my experience on the Nexus 4, KitKat is great for consistent battery performance.

How can it be better than Note 3, I am confused.

Could be many things, the better screen : battery ratio, fresher SoC, Android / TouchWiz version, improved radios, heat management, screen tech... but wait and see for other results.

So true. 4.1.1 gave the best battery life, 4.1.2 a litterateur le bit worse but still very good, but 4.3 is disaster. Battery drains so hard even no wakelock! So I had to rollback to 4.1.2 with my lovely Perseus kernel. Hope a change in Kitkat update.

I watched this video but I can't take his findings seriously as all the battery stats he showed weren't accurate representations. He didnt charge the device to 100% and then he re-charged it as some random time not allowing the stats to reset.

oh i thought larger screens use more battery because larger pixels takes more power to turn on? :S

Battery life, mind blown.

So my first real day with the phone and I am extremely impressed with the battery life, didn't have any battery saving enabled and I used my phone normally plus I watched 4 episodes of the walking dead on Netflix.

Yeah, it is very good.
HTC EVO 4G - my first real smart phone. Had to hang on a charger if I wanted to use the phone for anything but have it in my pcket and gt forbig 4G kicked in... the phone would lilterally heat up by just sitting in a pocket.
HTC 4G LTE - big improvement over Evo. Battery life much better, super nice screen, fast, etc..
HTC One M8 - wowza. Super smooth and battery life is simply amazing.

I could get much longer battery time if I wasn't streaming Netflix for 4 hours, I'll have to get better battery stats to show the on screen time. My wife is at 64% battery with 18 hours and 5 minutes.

Just finally has the pleasure of being out in the day, reaching 14%, turning on extreme power savings mode, and making 4hrs til I got home. To which I was then at 12%. Haha pretty awesome

Hm... for some reason my battery life hasn't been as great as everyone is reporting. I'm not getting anywhere near 24 hours.
I don't know if it's because of an app I have installed.. or my background data settings.. or what.

V2 battery life

My replacement is not as good as my V1. It's a bit lower. I used to get close to 7 hour SOT. V2 I get about 6.

I don't even care right now, I've got bigger concerns. I've had several freezes across several different apps! I was looking for a thread where others have had the same issue but haven't found one yet.
Sent from my SM-N930T using XDA-Developers mobile app

It really depends on the crap that's running in the background and some of it doesn't even show in the program list under battery usage. V2 in my case runs much more efficient than V1. Right now I'm at 78% with 1hr 40 SOT, total run time over 12 hours. But to put things into perspective right before exchange my V1 started running 6% battery usage per hour, IDLING and nothing extraordinary showed up. I would charge it before sleep and in the morning it would be like 50%. After killing everything I didn't use it went back to normal and then I exchanged it, so never figure it out which particular program was causing this, but if this happens again I won't rest until I find offending apps and out will it go.
BTW I have everything on: GPS, NFC, BT, Wifi etc.

that looks like stellar life! I get max about 3 and 1/2 hrs SOT.

Same with me I used to get 5 sot average.... now I'm struggling to get over 3 and 1/2
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

I'm getting awesome battery life. I'm even running a gear s2, GPS on, Bluetooth on streamed music. Only Facebook disabled.
I do run it in mid power saving mode though but 7 hours with 19 percent left ain't bad.

This is running it down to 8%. Changed themes but it's same usage day from previous post.

While my SOT this cycle isn't much, I'm happy with the battery life.
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

That's good considering you had 1 day and 14 hours of total time. My SOT was with heavy use so total time was less. I'm happy too. SOT is comparable to my old iPhone 6 Plus. Only thing is standby time on the plus was much better. That doesn't matter though because I love the features of the note 7 better so it was a trade off.

I've been getting pretty much the same as before. About 4 hours screen with 20 total.

Almost 1 day 15 hours actually, but yeah normally I use my phone more than I did the last day and a half. But overall the battery is outperforming any other phone I've ever owned.

Op here. Been a week and it's getting worse. This would only give me 2.5 hour SOT

Don't think it'll last all day since I unplugged it at night

Tried factory reset and it's a little better. 5 hour SOT. Still not as good as 6.5 hours on my V1.

Something fishy about Samsung internet.

The battery usage jumps between 45 and 65% randomly within seconds. Two screen shots attached.
Also gsam shows its using more than the usual for me battery usage? Any ideas before uninstalling updates and reinstalling? Thanks.

Might be something that have failed like a sync with Samsung Cloud or a site that keep sending notifications ?

For me, at least, browsers in general take by far the most of battery consumption. Maybe just the nature of the beast. I didn't measure but not such a big jump as on yours.

I disabled and installed Samsung Internet Beta and it seems ok now . Using the same extensions as well.

Hey mate. Actually this is something I've noticed with practically every app I have installed, they all show different percentages depending on how I navigate to that particular screen.
No idea what's causing it though haha.

I guess it's a different measure on both screens one is % of total apps and the other is usage since fully charged. Mine are showing the same. See my screenshots for comparison.

Yes True! It does jump up and down. And settles at the one that is on the second screen. Must be a software bug.

General Battery life experience

Hey guys,
So a month after the launch of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, what is your battery life experience? Give us your feedback and numbers.
Please mention your chipset (Exynos or Snapdragon) and post a screenshot if possible.
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with battery life. I usually get a day and a half with around 9h of SOT. I have the Exynos model and my screen is set to 1080p with standard motion smoothness. Bluetooth is always on and I use 4G most of the time. All other settings are set to default.

How is you Phone radio usage so low. Mine is always way higher. Does that mean the signal is bad??

Can't complain, I get around 5 hours SOT a day with 30 to 40% left in the tank.
That said, I am stuck at home all day on WiFi, so sure that will decrease when I'm out and about with location on and 4g/5g but still pretty decent.
Exynos, QHD, 120hz, active 2 connected all day, some debloating and Bixby routines to switch to 60hz for some apps, turn off location/NFC/4g at home and sync/AOD on when charging

Standby for me has been amazing.

I think bad signal is definitely a factor. In my case, I stay at home most of the time (remote work) or at the office and in both locations I have a very good signal. Also my carrier doesn't support 5G yet, only 4G.

Ikr, even with Bluetooth on, I lose barely 3% at night.

Still on 91% I've been playing on my iPad all day so barely touched phone.

Had Exynos S21 Ultra that i didn't like the battery life of it. I had barley 4h of SoT.
I send it back to Samsung and got a Snapdragon HK version and i am getting 4.5h with the second full charging. I hope it gets better in a week or two.

Mine is amazing. Exynos. It keeps getting better.

I got the Exynos version.
