How is your battery life on S23? How much screen time do you get and what is your usage scenario? Proofs with screenshots would be great.
Don't have one but how's yours?

I don't have one either. I just consider S23 for buying since it perfectly matches my wishes among all new android flagships. Only battery life makes me worry as S22 had a bad one and was harshly criticised for this. That's why I'd like real owners to share their experience with battery life on the device.

Do not worry about battery life. I have S23 since February 6, 2023
I sold the S22 precisely because of the battery life, but I loved the size of the S22. I've been using the Pixel7 until now, and now I love the S23!

Out of the box the device was charged to 67% yesterday and it gave me 5:15 of screen on time when I placed it on wireless charger it had 5% left. But this is not accurate at all. After 7 full charges from less then 15% the battery usage will be more clear. But as of now it indicates that the sot will be really good for what I am used to (OP7T I used before had arround 5 hours). I use 2 sims, bluetooth, wifi, gps, aod and nfc were on all the time. I run some benchmarks (antutu, 3d mark, geekbench 5), watched some videos (at least 1 hour) and played some games (asphalt 9 for 15 minutes, Golf clash for 30 minutes), plus plenty of scrolling and downloading apps.
And it's just mathematics. S23 has bigger battery size and better cpu chip efficiency. Logical the autonomy would be better than S22 (except if the cpu eats more and new oneui&android 13 too)

True. It's just you never know how it behaves in day to day usage. Don't wanna charge flagship for 800-1000 dollars twice a day.
BTW I'm wondering if it would be good to activate the max 85% charge or not.

How long do you plan to keep the device? It's a proven fact that limiting the charge percentage dramatically increases charge cycles but if you're only going to keep it for a year or two, not much point.

Not as bad as going towards to 0% or 100%. I was pretty surprised when phones came up with it but fast charging seems to work, sort of - there was no deluge of broken batteries, was there?

Not a matter of breaking the battery but fast charge causes heating causes destruction of battery cells causes reduce of long lasting battery

This is great!
6:14h sot, 24%, with everything activated and double sim. (but with the basic battery mode you can find in options. Apparently this mode improves greatly the autonomy and doesn't change a lot the power).
6h 35m here, great device, my last two phones were a oneplus 7t (which had a great battery) and a pixel 6(good battery.... slow charging), this feels quite on par , at a much lower size.
While some tests show huge sot, if find the test from phonearena to be the most reliable for this device.
I have 2 sims with volte and vowifi always enabled.
SoT can change a lot between someone who uses the phone during the day or during the evening/night, by the way)
Some first stats and observations from mine S23:
1) my usage
- mostly dimmed display - approx. 30% brightness with peaks up to 70% (rarely)
- LTE+ (one SIM, 5G disabled) mixed with WiFi (LTE - only 2-3 bars most of the time, WIFI with good reception but low quality internet)
- mostly urban area
- 60 HZ display (tried with adaptive as well - no huge difference), dark theme, AOD only for new notifications, black wallpaper
- location, NFC and bluetooth disabled if not in use
- lite battery mode with adaptive options (no power savings enabled)
- bluetooth Samsung Earbuds - 2-3 hrs / day - music and YouTube
- Bixby software disabled, no Google App or Google Assistant
- two google accounts in sync
- Spark instead of Gmail
- Kiwi Browser instead of Chrome
Apps:
- YouTube
- FB Messenger
- Kiwi Browser
- 10 pics a day
- Instagram
- Emails and office stuff
- Google Maps and little car navigation
- lots of UI customisation and tweaking
I would describe myself as a casual, lite user
Observations:
- high brightness drains the battery like crazy
- lots of Samsung apps require "nearby devices" and "location" access
- standby drain is OK - would say 1%/hr during the day and 4% per 7hrs night (Do not disturb mode). AOD doubles those figures.
- charging is slow as fk
Scanarios available (non scientific :
- approx. 7-8 hrs SOT with 1,5 day endurance
- approx. 10-12 hrs SOT with almost no extra standby time (15 hrs total endurance)
- approx. 5-6 hrs SOT with 2 days endurance
Next stats will try to post with AccuBattery screenshots.

I'm not getting nearly the battery life that others are claiming.
I just calibrated my battery this time, so we'll see how it goes.
Please post a screen shot of your 'settings -> about phone -> battery usage' and click on display and tell us the 'time on' numbers.
I have about 2 hours of 'time on' time, and I've gone through a third of my battery. And I have very conservative screen settings. I don't see any way I could get the reported 9 hours of video time that Engadget reported.
I'm not complaining though - on my mytouch 4g, I could get probably 3-4 hours of screen time on a battery. Considering how powerful this phone is, and the size/resolution of the screen...... No real complaints.
- Frank
P.S. Can you imagine a hyperion extended battery? The stock mytouch 4g battery is 1400, and the hyperion extended is 3500. So a hyperion extended battery for the note would be ..... 6250 mah??!?!? [email protected] What we need is an ibm 'slice' type of battery - that wouldn't add much thickness.

I can't wait until ICS & devs start making ROMs & kernel for the Note. I think then, we will see the Note truly shine.

What kind of battery life test would satisfy you then?
For instance:
I have used a variety of phones over the last 6 months (BB Torch 9800, Torch 9810, BB Bold 9700, Bold 9900, Galaxy 7" Tab P1000, HTC WP7 Mozart) and none of these devices can deal with my pattern of usage every day without at LEAST 2 full depletions and recharges of the battery.
I'm looking to the Note to be the first phone that can last a day, or at LEAST a day with only one recharge.
Engadget reckoned they got 9 hours of video playback on one charge. I do hope that this is indicative of the notes performance...

Your post doesn't tell how the battery life is good. The part that consume the most of the juice is the display and I can see from your post that the screen of your Note was awake just for a little time...
So, trying a browsing and video experience would give us a better idea

I can tell you right now just by looking at the screenshot you have something keeping your phone awake. No way in the world is Android OS supposed to be that high. Figure out what it is and you'll definitely see better battery life. 90% positive it's an app you installed.

That's a known ROM/kernel bug in Gingerbread, with AOS taking up so much time. It will be fixed in custom ROMs - though who knows if Samsung will fix theirs ??
Battery tip, if you have NO SIM card in, "cell standby" will tear through your battery in no time. Put it in airplane mode, then enable wifi FTW.
I'm having the same problem. Really frustrating. Needing a recharge every 12 hours or so. And I'm not a heavy user :-/
Dear all,
Today I change a animate wallpaper to static, the result is good, my battery level after same hour, same use is much better.
Before, I full charge at nigh, start use the phone from 7am, web, email at cafe to 8am, have some phone call, email, and web again from 9pm to 11pm.
With animated wallpaper, at 11pm battery is 0, but today, its still at 50%, its good!

Animated wallpapers are battery death unless they are pseudo animations like that melting droid wallpaper which is effectively a giant battery meter. It's like playing a movie constantly.
When judging battery life, you should take in account that if you just have bought the device, you maybe are using it more than you will in the future. (I said maybe, don't jump at me )
I did... And I got 12 hrs or something.... I think that I will manage a good day with it in the future.
Of course the largest consumer of juice will be the screen... So, use a low brightness whenever you can.
And, I bought Juice Defender + from the Market, this seems a good investment and works fine on the Note. (Free version does too)

I can live with a data connection that just every 15 minutes goes on to check mail etc.
(although some people complain when they don't hear from me within a minute )

Using a fixed brightness is pointless if you want to compare across devices. What is 50% on some devices might be 70% on others.
The only way to truly compare would be to use a brightness meter on a reference image to set brightnesses the same on two devices.
It has already been said that the Optimus 4X is much brighter than most LCDs, and I'd be inclined to agree, it really helps for sunlight legibility.
Low battery life
I experience the same problem. I am a heavy user of the phone so the screen is on often.
My experience is too much comparable with my previous phone, the sony xperia x10 which has a battery issue.
My phone becomes also very hot while charging. I never experienced this with a phone so much as with this one.
I will factory reset the phone and perform a battery test. I will keep you posted.
Have you updated your phone ?
The v10b update is supposed to fix the battery and heat issues.
I am on version v10b and after like 10 charging cycles i must conclude that battery life suks

Update your phone. The battery life is improved with v10d firmware.

have you wiped the device before/after the update, i did booth, wiped before and after the update, will check battery live
after a few full loads, but overnight i lose around 12% with data (GSM) and wifi on (wifi on only when charging or screen on)
in 9 hours...
i think we can only get better results if we get root and custom kernels / roms .....
Yeah yeah I know its got Stamina Mode BUT! is anyone a little worried like me that the battery is 2330 and with a 5 inch screen and all those pixels its going to drain pretty fast. Todays phones with 720 screens and less pixels aren't the best. I'm still getting the phone but anyone else think we aren't in for glorious battery life here. (Stamina Mode may be the perfect fix for this though)
im hoping we get some battery reviews in soon. i have yet to see any real in depth reviews for the battery yet.

Yeah, thats the part of the reviews I will be taken proper interest in.
Coming from the One X, I'm not too worried about battery life as I'd be fairly confident it could last a bit longer than that phone. I charge my phone every night so once I get a day out of it thats fine.
I would like to see a review on the battery life though.
2330 AMH is really good though
I have 3100mah on my Galaxy Note 2 right now. Pretty huge battery - was supposed to last 3 days - it barely lasts 48 hours of "normal use". Not worried about Xperia Z, if 3100mah can't supply more than 5-6 screen time or 48+ hours - no battery will. If it lasts 2 full days, i'll be more than happy.
From what I've heard it's actually surprisingly good. Keep your brightness in check and you'll be fine. Both the Snapdragon S4 Pro and the MDM9215 are pretty efficient chips. The S4 Pro has (according to Qualcomm at least) a pretty high performance per watt so should do pretty well with relatively little power use.
From the 1st review:
"The Z’s battery-saving Stamina mode turns off data when the screen is off, boosting standby time by a factor of four, and we found it hardly lost any charge overnight – around 1 per cent, or none at all."
Now that's interesting.
Early tests not so encouraging. Worse than the nexus 4. Of course screen brightness etc aren't known at this point.
Let's hope it gets better with more charge cycles etc.

Doesn't look too good. 9 hours with 3h screen time... but the screen drained 42% of the battery so i guess it must have been under some heavy stress. Hope to see some more tests/reviews asap.
yeah, all we can do is wait for the NDA to break. I really hate waiting.
hope the battery's up to scratch because i haven't been this excited for a phone in a long time.
When do nda normally break? Seeing as it should release in some territories in a few weeks, I'm surprised there haven't been more reviews. Hoping to see some from the big sites any day now, especially the verge, gsmarena etc, as I'm really interested in battery life. Would need about 3.5 hours screen on time on mid brightness on 4g over say 15 hours off charger to work for me. Guess I could make do with 3 hours, but whichever of the new 5 inch phones does this will get my money. Come on Sony, don't disappoint me, cause I love the look of this phone!

A) reviews take time
B) It seems as though the CES units were not final... so the final product may not have been available until very recently.
Sony stores/reps are starting to get their demo units (which should be final hardware) so hopefully more reviews soon.
BTW NDA is usually to keep the details of the product hidden until Sony is ready to release. The phone has obviously been officially announced so this is not an NDA thing, just the fact that they don't want reviews done on inferior pre-release units.

And by looking at some threads here - it's perfectly understandable. People freaking out about things that are not even present in the real device like older software, lower benchmarks due to debugging firmware etc. But i'm really dying to see the battery life... if it's non-removable and it won't last 48+ hours of normal use, than it's not good. If it won't last 24+ hours of normal use than i guess i might reconsider ( and by normal use i mean texting, calling, maybe some music - not playing with it every second, that's reserved for few first days )
That screen shot over page with 9hr 33mins battery life. I didn't see the sign for power saver/battery saving mode being used. I mean surely the phone has to last a day atleast under moderate usage. I mean it has a bigger battery than the S3 and that lasted over a day on moderate usage and the cpu in the Z is supposed to be more power efficient is it not.
I also think battery life is a subjective matter for example me and my GF both had the note 2 and I set her phone up exactly how I set mine up with the brightness etc and she was getting 4days - 5days 20hours battery life and mine was getting 1day 20hours - 2days 23hours, why? because I use my phone a damn site more than she does and the variation is because some days I use more phone more than other days so some days the battery will last more and some days it will last less.

Well that's not reinventing the wheel, most battery saving apps like Juice Defender do that. However I need a stable IMAP connection and not fire up the screen constantly to check emails.
There is nothing special in making the phone last longer with software trickery, it's like making yourself last longer through thinking about your grandma.
A good battery and battery efficient hardware is needed.

Juice defender kills apps but issue with this is apps relaunch itself and then juice defender kicks in and kills it again and ends up in an infinite loop of killing and reviving of processes. The difference with stamina mode is that it was officially made by manufacturer within the ROM. So when you set it to get killed when screen is off there's something within the framework of the android core which they programmed to really halt the operation of the app/process and not just killing it. So in the end it is totally stopped

That screen shot over page with 9hr 33mins battery life. I didn't see the sign for power saver/battery saving mode being used. I mean surely the phone has to last a day atleast under moderate usage. I mean it has a bigger battery than the S3 and that lasted over a day on moderate usage and the cpu in the Z is supposed to be more power efficient is it not.
I also think battery life is a subjective matter for example me and my GF both had the note 2 and I set her phone up exactly how I set mine up with the brightness etc and she was getting 4days - 5days 20hours battery life and mine was getting 1day 20hours - 2days 23hours, why? because I use my phone a damn site more than she does and the variation is because some days I use more phone more than other days so some days the battery will last more and some days it will last less.

The thing with the S4 pro is that it can go both ways as far as efficient hardware is concerned. I think it has something to do with thermal insulation.
The nexus 4 and it's 2100ish mAh has notoriously poor battery times - in my testing, tapping out at just under 3 hours screen usage in around 8-10 hours of total use (everything stock + 4.2.1).
My padfone 2, on the other hand, with the same battery/screen size is a battery champ - regularly get 5 to 5.5 hours screen usage over a period of 18-20 hours. It beats out all my previous phones for battery life (minus the note 2), including the GS3 which had good battery life itself.
And no, i don't belive in disabling google now and push notifications. Without them the nexus 4 does better but the padfone 2 and its s4 pro do brilliant with them on.

No argument here - although if it actually does work - then it's a welcome trick. Juice Defender - imo - is useless. It never saved any battery for me - quite the contrary, constant app killing in the background resulted in worse battery life on my Galaxy S/Note devices, so i'm curious how will Sony implement such a feature.

Why would you guys use JD for killing apps? That doesn't make sense. Its main use is to manage radios etc. depending on battery & screen status. Anyway didn't do much for me so switched from that to Tasker.
Hello all. Coming from S7 edge.. So far not thrilled with battery life.. Anyone have comments on the battery life they seem to be getting?
Pretty poor too...I feel like my iPhone 6s Plus which I have replaced with the Note 7 was getting much much much better battery life
I've already used Greenify to freeze a ton of apps and used the Disabler Pro to disable a bunch of crap, but still, pretty crappy!
Ugh I miss the Note 4 days, root, customer recovery/rom/bootloader/etc, was customized nicely and got a ton of battery life, plus the huge brick-like ZeroLemon battery which made my phone last almost 2 full days of heavy usage lol
Yes.
Kick down the settings. This is one of the good features within the Note 7.
Settings > Device maintenance > Battery > Power saving mode > MID > Customize > 80%/HD/Limit device performance > Apply
Within "App power monitor" in Battery settings you can manage power hungry apps by putting them to sleep when your device screen is off.
You can turn off features that you don't use.
AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube has a couple videos in managing battery life and speeding up (which also will help with battery life) the Galalxy Note 7.

Battery life has been disappointing. Granted that I'm comparing to both my OnePlus 3 and S7E. I really hope things even out after a couple of cycles. GSAM battery monitor is showing only 3 hours average screen on time after 2 full cycles. I was getting close to 4.5 on my OnePlus 3. Cmon, Samsung!

Why is Android System the 1st on my list of battery usage? shouldn't it be screen?
i have question. why are you guys even comparing battery life on a phone thats been out for 2 days to a phone that you've used for at least over a month? of course it will suck compared to those. those phones batteries have had a chance to mature and settle in. give the phone a week to settle in. sheesh.

Same issue that the Snapdragon variant of the s7E had on release. It's so annoying.

it will only be screen depending on how much you use the screen on that cycle. if your screen is off most the time then android system will use most battery because of syncing all the services you have running. this is normal and not anything to be stressing about. also this phones screen tech is very very efficient. gone are the days when screen eats up your battery.

Same here. Battery life has been sucking so bad on this. My Note 5 was a beast when I first got it. Note 7 battery life has been quite a disappointment so far. Will give it a few more days to see if it improves

As to why complain with only two days use, the S7 didn't need time to adjust.. It's battery life was stellar out of the box. You are going to find the battery life on this is average at best. It's not a huge thing to me as I'm always around a charger but it's a bit disappointing
I still feel as though it is a wee bit too early to comment on battery life entirely, but I am not having too many issues. I came from an S7 Edge. I used Package Disabler Pro to rid myself of the bloatware (albeit there is less on a T-Mobile device). I kicked out the Touchwiz launcher and installed Nova to my liking. I am using a Material theme, and all seems well. There is a bit of increased battery usage, but it doesn't seem too terribly bad.
This battery is bigger than the Note 5 and I remember that phone's battery being better out of the box.
Is conditioning the battery still a thing?
I still say that if you manage your power usage by doing things like lower the resolution, etc (like AskTheAndroidGuy on YouTube shown in his videos) then you can get more battery life per charge. I went from 5am to 3:30pm and still had 81% battery life left. Playing music, scanning barcodes at stores to learn about the products and price comparison, using Chrome browser and Google Now for the same, installed apps, configured apps, and much more (I only watch two five minute videos.). That is 19% of battery for 10.5 hours.
If you keep the Note 7 at highest resolution while using it, watching videos, etc. your battery life will be low. Having such good quality technology also means sacrifice on battery life.
What I am saying is while you on the go why not go for HD (720p) resolution, 80% max brightness, turning off features not using, etc. to get good battery life. Then turn on the highest quality video and features of the device when you are using them.
The tools are there. It is up to you how you use them and the results you get.
BTW - I am running Ocean HD live wallpaper. Very tricky to get live wallpaper running on this thing. But it is another app that uses battery life. Looks cool with the curve glass (especially when the fish swim through the curve glass.

Agreed. Phones that have stellar battery life make it obvious right out the box. This whole getting used to scene is another placebo created by people who suffer from buyer's remorse. Battery life really is disappointing compared to S7 edge and Note 5.

It might be true. However, having owned almost every Samsung galaxy flagship I have found that their latest flagships do not have one particular kind of battery life. On some days it's 5 or 6hrs of SOT and on other days it's only 2 or 3hrs SOT. Some days you have Screen on top of Battery stats and other days you have Android System or Cell stand by killing it all. It's extremely frustrating.
I mean now I am getting what one would call immaculate battery life, I have 1:30 SOT and I am at 80%. I don't even know whether to be joyous for having this battery life as of now or be sad knowing I had a similar experience with Note 5 and other Samsung flagships. They just can't get it right can they?

Looks good I have a similar sit at 85%
But then again I'm at my third cycle I expect it will get better as all other phones I had have done
My note 7 battery life so far is very good. At 8 am I had 70% now is 10:10 and still have 7%. Without battery save. (I use my phone a lot for work ..
Really disappointed of the battery life. Wasn't the 888 supposed to be more battery efficient than the 865?
Light usage, not even 6h of SOT with 13% left. With indoor use (low brightness, wifi) , 120hz FHD+.
Compared to my OnePlus 8T, i can get slightly more than 7h of SOT...
What's your battery life ?

Yes it supposed to be more battery efficient than the 865 but it isn't , at least for now. maybe they will tweak it in next few months. we will see. But you can do some tweaks also and you should get improvement. I see some people complaining about chrome using a lot of battery so I would uninstall it for the start and use some other browser , I can recommend kiwi with built in ad blocker and dark theme and is super light. But there's many other. Also today I was experimenting with dynamic wallpapers and I saw significant battery drain which was very noticeable so I just put black background. I never went to battery to follow what's going on , my device easily go through the day with normal use. I would say from 7 to 23 my battery goes from 100% to 10 - 30% depending on the use. For me I am very satisfied with the battery life.
For me only 2h max screen on ... I hâte this phone lol. My Poco F1 is better for batteur life

How is that possible? 2h is just crazy.
From 100% to 9% with over 7h SoT without any charging. Sorry for screenshot without graph :/
@Asnamus your screenshots are not really helpful and funny, cuz you charge your phone @zacer I don't know what you try to do but why you can't provide screenshots? I will tell you why.
With stock global rom and also with beta 12.5 the battery life on Mi11 is really bad.
Staying home, almost only wifi and things like whatsapp, firefox, etc. without gaming or camera you will get about 6h SOT with 15h standby. If you are not home and use mobile data it's the worst battery life ever. It's like a Galaxy S6.
They will never fix this because the device is already +3 months old.

Today I will do the test and post , I am also interested what will be the result. My screen shot yesterday is a honest screen shot at that moment. It was more about how much Kiwi consump battery comparing to Crome and Themes (dynamic wallpapers)
@Linuxkek I didn't charge you can believe me or not. I just made that screenshot for my friend, sent him, and connected to charger(so the stats has been reset) . After that I saw this thread on forum and I pasted my result.
Like I sad you need to tweak a bit your device. I got 8h of SOT today with whole day abuse of the phone on maxed settings. 120hz 2k resolution and all ai turned on.
For me, not so far than 8h SOT with WQHD+, 120 Hz and AI activated all time for the first full charge.
Facebook app is causing random heating and battery drain.
Yesterday I had this issue and discovered that facebook app caused it. So I uninstalled it and I use Maki Plus for facebook. Great app. I must say that I got around 6h sot yesterday with this problem.
The word that describes my experience with this phone battery life is disappointment.
I am using it at FHD+ and 120Hz and I get 3,30-4 h of SOT. I does not matter if I use dark mode or not and I have already debloated the device.
I don´t think this is a hardware issue anyways so I hope it gets some kind of solution.
I will return it, really too bad. Miui is full of bugs, even with lot of compromises in my usage (dark mode, kiwi browser with night mode, black wallpaper...) Still get bad battery life.
Only 9h with 6h of SOT, whereas for a very similar usage, on my OnePlus 8T, i can get 24h with 8h of SOT.
According to Anandtech, they confirm that there is definitly something wrong about battery life, but they can't tell if it's hardware or software issue.

It's definitely this "other". I don't know what a construction is this, the weirdest thing is that you can't find any information about, I never saw it on any other phone, and it sucks your battery off. I don't use games, any social, no demanding graphic, and I can't imagine what could be possibly hidden inside. Besides it waste the battery it looks shady.
for me first charge , 5h45 SOT , debloated, 1h45 calls , 24 h standby. disapointed
i am not sure why but with my mi11 i get a much higher SOT as with my Op8 Pro
the main difference
my Op8 Pro i restored from an oldbackup
my Mi11 i completely installed new every app, every setting
also i searched a little MIUI 12 Battery saving guide, applied some of the things which did not bother me too much and voila, i end up with 7+h SOT a day incl some walks with GPS, listen podcasts via bluetooth
FHD and 120Hz settings
i am satisfied with that, my OP8 Pro which i used the same only got me like 4,5h on a good day
Do you think 230 mah for "other" is normal?
I was on the latest cn rom waiting for the bootloader unlocking. Battery life was great. Averaging 10-9 hours of intense use.
After flashing eu 21.3.11 rom, the state of battery has deteriorated quite alot. I need to charge it at least twice to last for a whole day.
Is there a possibility to downgrade the rom to the previous version as I have seen people complaining after updating, or should I just for a fix in the upcoming update?
