I get 0.8%/hour with AOD display off and 1.6% with AOD on/hour. so if you get AOD on, it is OK.

It must be some application you are having that it drains your battery. Mine is 0.4%/hour on LTE.
S20+ snapdragon

Hmmm, your s20 is showing amazing stats. It is not any particular app. I am sure device js taking time to seetle.
Are you on 120?
My screen on consumes too much 16% an hour.
After returning one handset to O2 thinking it was faulty because of the standby drain I got my 2nd one
A exynos chip S20.
After changing all the settings such as refresh rate, dark mode, disabled apps, sleep settings, always off, 5g ... It still drained something terrible.
I dropped from 100 to 77 percent in 1 hour, checking the battery stats there was no single app using it.
I did find that after a factory reset and manual install of apps (not smartswitch) it lasted a little longer but no way I'd get through a work day one one charge

Don't know what settings you have or what's wrong with yours, but I have the US Snapdragon S20+, and my battery is absolutely awesome, standby drain included. My settings are dark mode, hidden 96hz refresh rate, WiFi full-time (damn COVID19), optimized mode for battery, location and Bluetooth on full-time, no NFC on ever, and automatic brightness settings. Like I said, I've gone 2 full days on a charge before, but pretty much always get around 36hrs, with 9-10hrs of screen on time. I'm loving this phone ??

This is crazy figures! I don't get why Samsung are rpping Europeans off with the crappy exynos models. I have the exynos variant and need to turn aeroplane mode on overnight and get 0.4/hr drop.
Sot is usually about 8-9%/hr so from a full charge I should expect 9-10hrs SOT. I have had to fiddle with my settings a lot though.
Rubbish.
Do you guys have auto sync on? That affects battery but I don't know how bad it affects it.
Love to know how. Iv sacked off the device now. #worsehandsetever lol
That's issue with exynos have to do a lot of tinkering disabling apps and other stuff turning location and sync off and aod, ridiculous really, seems like snapdragon is top drawer straight out the box
I wonder how many people jumped into this thread to give a 1 star after owning the phone for less than a week. Give the phone time to learn your usage patterns, jesus christ.
dear all,
I managed to reduce the standby battery drain for Exynos.
Now if you don;t use the phone the battery won;t get consumed.
I am using Package Disabler Pro and some bloatware xml
i will create a thread here step by step how to.
cheers.
My S20+ Exynos drains about 0.3% overnight. Nothing special, wifi always on, sync on, 120 hz.
I had S10 SD version and it was draining 1.5-2% overnight on same settings
My s20 ultra exynos drains the same, ~2% overnight, but that is after ATD3 update
Always I am getting very bad results
I swithed off 5g and screen is running at 60htz
Battery drain on stand by is around 2% on wifi and around 4% if i use 4g data
Other thing that my phone is warm almost all the time.
I disabled many apps but with no improvment.

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Here are my screen on time results with 60hz and FHD. Just experimenting with different settings to see the results. Honestly I don't feel battery is bad with auto resolution and QHD either I feel like this phone does very well on battery.
Not as good as the 6t but, it's pretty good.
Looking even more like the 6t screen on times now!
How do you guys set up your devices , so it can last so long?

My last screen shot was wifi, lte, no 5g, fhd, 60hz, printing service off, find my device off and I believe that's it. Honestly I don't see a dramatic difference in screen quality with these setting either. It's noticeable but definitely not THAT noticeable and honestly it's worth it if you need your phone to last for long periods between charges.

I get 5- 6 hours of SOT. 60/ FHD, dark override/ wifi filter/ all apps are optimized, location only while using an app, 5bg is off. WTF else need I do? I can't root it. Thinking about returning it to TMobile cus i heard that 5 g chip is always on eating the battery.

Yes, it does. I m returning mine tomorrow
I was getting quite good battery life on 10.0.19 but battery has taken a pretty good hit since the 10.0.25 update. I may try factory reset to see if that helps.
I'm pretty sure people with bad battery live have 90hz on and 5g on. And so do I, I get about 4-5hrs sot in a whole day of usage, between WiFi and 5g .. light gaming, texting, Instagram, Facebook, messenger and some other apps.

The problem is the 5G modem is pretty much on all the time. Even if not in use. There isn't really any way to actually turn it off. (Unless you get really creative and make your own firmware...)

That is actually not entirely true, I have the European variant of McLaren without 5G modem I this is by far the worst SOT I ever experienced on an OnePlus device. And I have had them since the beginning. I can barely scrape up 4h - 4.5h SOT over an 24-48h time period
on a full charge cycle. Note I'm not even on stock kernel so I would expect SOT be up 8-10h without any bigger problems. What I'm trying to make out if my battery is bad or the complete phone, and if that would come to that I would return it to the seller in flash.
Batt stats and kernel logs show active drain between 8-10% per hour and idle drain to 1.5-2.5% per hour. Numbers don't say much to me however active drain seems very high to me. I know that the display consumes a lot for sure but I'm not really sure if this is too high or not.
I'm on FHD+ resolution but with 90Hz refresh rate and adaptive background light. To summarize it all, I'm hugely disappointed with my device in perspective of battery life. Feel free to drop comments or suggestions on what I can do. Perhaps give some figures on idle and active
drain if you have them.

Your battery life is pretty normal. Mine is around 5 to 9 hourss it's not the kernal but the rom and screen that uses up the bsttery

Did anyone try to select only 2G/3G/4G in Preferred Network type and then check the battery life/ drain?
Hi everyone!
I'm relatively new to this forum... I've lurked for a lot of time, and posted something years ago.
I'm back because I need to ask a question to people who already have the S20 in their hands: is the S20's battery better than the S10e's one?
Sorry, I know it's a pretty generic question... but I don't know very much about phone tech.
I'm talking about the Exynos variant, but even comments about the Snapdragon one would be appreciated!
Thank you for your attention, guys!

I'm not very interested in the 120 refresh rate to be honest, I'd be buying it for the camera and for the battery, so I would keep it at 60 hz.
I hope at 60 the battery's better than the S10e's.

I had the S10E. The battery for me has been better trying both 60 and 120 refresh rate. Phone off the charger at 5:30 am. Use all day. 45 min maps and music. Messaging all day. Social Media. 5-6 hours screen time. It is now 8:30 and I'm still at 30%. S10E I would have had to charge on my drive home from work.

That's great news, thanks!
My S10e has a really terrible battery, expecially after the Android 10 update... I have the Exynos version.
I usually start the day with 85% battery (I charge it during the evening while watching a movie, then I spend some time on social media before going to bed), and I arrive at 8:30 pm with less than 40% of battery. The strange thing is that I almost don't use the phone at all during the day. In the morning, I don't use it because I'm at work. In the afternoon, I'm at home, and I use the pc. So I use it very little, but for some reason the battery drains by itself like there's no tomorrow. I don't imagine what would happen if I had to use it during the day for some reason. That's why I wanted to switch to the S20.
Basically, at the moment I arrive at the end of the day with almost your same battery charge, but without having used the phone.
Just resurrecting this thread as I have the same question;
For the Exynos versions, how does the battery life on the S10e running Android 12 compare with the S20 running Android 13? (both at 60Hz screen)
GSMArena battery scores for endurance are 83h (S10e) and 71h (S20) if you use them both for 1 hour of calls, 1 hour of web and 1 hour of video but these scores were with the orignal shipped firmwares.
A lot of reviews of the S20 at the time said it had poor battery life so wondering if the 4,000mAh battery on the S20 is not much better than the 3,100mAh battery on the S10e because of Exynos not being optimised.
Not interested in Snapdragon comparisons as need a dual SIM and only the Exynos version is available here with proper dual SIM support (no eSIM rubbish).
I've s20 Exynos.
My battery is draining 15% per hour on 120hz mode and 12% on 60hz mode when screen on. Is this normal?
I've asked samsung customer care and they said it's normal but I used OnePlus 6t before and it take only 8% per hour.
Please advise me.

It is completely normal for exynos version (unfortunately). Snapdragon versions have better battery life, but your SOT is among better results for exynos versions of s20.

I would like to know how much battery per hour does Snapdragon version consume when screen on. I'm expecting answer from Snapdragon s20 users. Please let me know guys
its normal even i had doubts in my s20 exynos version but with 120hz and 60 hz doesnt get much difference my phone overall goes 1 day on heavy usage eg.. wifi on, fb insta scrolls, location only for health app and camera app... bixby and other features are turned off... gaming of 1 hour asphalt usually consumes 25% of battery which seems too high but wait its september 24 and no patch has released this month..wait i guess a big fix is coming on the way
I'm still expecting battery life from s20 SD users. Please answer me guys

if refresh rate 120 hz than normal , if its 60hz than not normal i believe

perhaps you can change to 96hz
I have snapdragon s20 ultra. Everything on. 60htz. 1080. Get 1 hour screen on time with about 8% to 9%
Regular ol' S20 (g981W) SD. Not debloated, just apps disabled where possible . Sure it's an avg # but true

I don't see any battery difference on 96hz and 120hz
So basically I upgraded from a S10 Lite with Snapdragon 855 (7nm) to the S21 FE. This phone got a more efficient Snapdragon 888 (5nm), a smaller Screen, 2gb less ram, no micro SD support, but the same 4500 mAh battery and same os version. The power saving mode always on, never use 5g, 120hz off, almost every rarely used app forced to sleep.
How can it still be that the battery performance is worse than on the s10 lite? And by the way the s21 fe also heats up very fast...
I'm really disapointed with this phone for the same reasons. After doing some tricks I get an "acceptable" battery time but far away from my old S10e and Poco X3. Same, 20 minutes of gaming or photos and the device can be a barbecue.
It's sad 'cause it still a great and powerfull device.
Check in the terminal with the top command what the CPU uses the most when the phone is warming up.
The battery life may have worsened compared to the S10 lite.. it depends on the battery cycles and whether it was fast charged or drained/fully charged, etc.. also network coverage matters I.e. low signal consumes more battery than in airplane mode
Maybe you will find something interesting in this article: Best phone battery-saving tips
Thank you for all your answers. I have tried and searched everything on the internet on how to save more battery.
When I bought the FE charged it 2 times to 100% and used it until 0%. After that I activated protect battery so it only charges until 85% just like on my s10L. I know the longest lifespan of li-batteries is when you use and charge them between 30-80%. I never used fast charging always instantly turned off when device is new.
The most confusing even was that I always had battery saving mode on (s21 FE) and on s10L never only when I had to. And it was still worse.
With a day of use (Web Browsing, Chatting, Music, Watching Videos, No Social Media) I had to recharge the S21 FE during the day because it drained so fast (6-8h active usage). With s10L still come through a whole day with same scenario (9-11h active usage).
I mean it is a really good phone. It has good Perf. and great camera (although leaking gcam support). But in the end sold my s21 FE, because I'm so disappointed with the battery and also no dynamic refresh rate for the display. I returned to my 2 years old s10L and now I wait for the s22 FE or s23(+).
P.S. What I think what really kills the battery, is a bad heat management. It heats up very fast even if you only search sth. on amazon so maybe I dont know...
