I get between 1 nanosecond and 136 years depending on the wind
On a more serious note, if brightness is set all the way up I can see the 7+ lasting 4 hours or even less. Not only it can get very bright, but the battery life is average, especially on 120Hz, where I'm permanently at because it looks a lot better. It's a waste of a device if you go down to 60Hz.
I actually get around 11 hours screen on time on the S7. Wifi and Location constantly turned on, 50% brightness, 60hz. Do a little gaming, constantly watching videos and doing light programming (still learning Python via Pydroid3).
Around 10 hrs on tab s7 with 75_80% brightness
Mostly Netflix and Amazon prime
Going to return my S7 Canadian version, 256 memory
Got it as an open box from Bestbuy.ca, 750 CAD, right away charged to 100, set 60 Hz and power saving, disabled few apps...
Aaaand i cannot kill this battery, look at the screen time.
Usage pattern - few hrs after work, YT and browsing. Those few days when I only used Xodo to read a book, 2-3% per hour... couldn't believe.
Now, considering that I kept my Note 9 on Oreo and still getting 8-9h SOT, people over at N9 forums regretting updating as it killed the SOT - with all that I will hold off on updating S7 to Android 11, relying on those brave (or desperate) here to update yours and report back how is battery life with UI 3.1
Anyway, the screen shots attached
I hate how Samsung has implemented battery stats. Tracking usage over an extended period is a chore compared to older versions of OneUI.
Anyway, at 96/48hz my S7 on A10 is getting about 12-13hrs when I draw. Also own an S7+ that just arrived. Paid 285 for the S7 and 361 for +.
About 9hours on really dim screen most of the time. But 120hz.
I'm Getting Pretty decent SOT on my S7+.
7hours + SOT while 10-12 Hours Screen off time with 2 hours mostly pubg.

I've owned an iPhone 3GS for almost four years now, and it's time to upgrade to something new. I've decided upon the OGP as my new device, but I have some questions about battery life. I've read a few reviews that said although not as good as that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the battery life is still great. Then again, I've also read a few reviews that have said that the battery life is horrid and that LG phones in general seem to use more battery than most while just sitting idle in standby mode. So, it seems to go both ways, depending on which review one reads.
My typical usage is about 90% browsing and reading webpages, and about 10% watching YouTube video, with a bit of music listening thrown in. With the iPhone I had to keep the screen set at about 50% to get me through a day of the above usage. Sometimes, an hour long recharge during lunch would give me battery life until the early evening. I hated having to keep the screen dimmed to 50%, but that's the way it is with that particular phone's power-hungry LCD. For video watching, I max the brightness so as to get as crisp of a picture as the phone is capable of.
I had looked at getting the Note 2, but I didn't care for the AMOLED's lack of whites and lack of brightness (and low resolution) in comparison to my dinosaur iPhone. If I did get that particular phone, I'd have to leave the brightness at max 24/7 although I don't know how that would affect batt life. Either way, the Note 2 screen did not appeal to my eyes, and the one on the OGP along with that of the HTC One were the best I've found in the larger phones.
So, my questions are, what do most people keep their brightness set to on their Optimus G Pro for most of the time, and how much screen time do you really get at that particular brightness level? And, does it seem that a few people have possibly gotten defective batteries? I realize that the G Pro's screen is an LCD with a white backlight on all the time the screen is lit, and probably won't be as efficient as an AMOLED, but with my type of usage (with the screen set to max) what kind of daily battery life can I expect from the OGP?
Well, I don't know if I can give you an estimate based on your exact usage, but let me share with you mine. I have my brightness set to 65% with auto brightness turned on. For me, that is a nice, comfortable viewing level that is easy on the eyes. I love the colors at 100% brightness, but it's almost too bright for me to look at for long times. Anyway, I only use my phone to send text messages and check web sites during the day, but then I play games in the evening (like super stickman golf). I can get through the day easily with 25% remaining when I plug in at bed time. I get about 4 -5 hours of screen on time out of that, so in total I could get about 5-6 hours if I were to drain the battery all the way.
So that doesn't exactly answer your question, but each person's usage is going to be slightly different. It also heavily depends on what you have for apps that are running in the background.
hmm
I'll say this much, screen is responsible for about 50% of your phones battery drain across the board so if 100% brightness is more important than another hour or two of usage time then go for it. This thing should get you a full day even at 100% charge and relatively heavy usage but get comfy with seeing 20 or 30% by early evening. The hardest thing to get used to is remembering that 20% can still mean 2-3 hours of usage and is not an emergency. Another plus of this phone is you can charge about 50% with one hour of charging (or 25% on 15 mins) so as long as you are using a good charger you can juice up in a hurry.
i want to buy a note 10.1 2014 but i have concerns about its battery life , i don`t know this is real or not but i heard it drain 10-20% in 8 hours of stand by , i have an ipad mini 1 and i get as it shown in image
my Q is can i get the same battery life with the note 10.1 2014 as my ipad mini 1 or not , plz confirm that because this issue will be a deal breaker for me

this tablet has a powerful screen.. and pressure sensore.
i am using this tablet for more than 1 year and its really awesome. when the screen is on the device uses more battery and its normal.
but when it is on sleep it can use the battery more than 2 days... 3220 mAh is very powerful battery for this tablet.
with CM 12 (Android 5) it will be best tablet i have seen and used.
I get 11hrs screen time from 100% to 1%. This includes a LOT of youtube videos however my brightness is pretty low. Standby time is good for me and nowhere near 10% a day let alone 8hrs. I reckon its about 3-5% a day for me max.

Do you use the stock firmware or a custom rom , because i am already purchased the tablet couple days ago and i am never have 11 hours screen on time yet
Till now i am get 6-7 hours screen on time in 2 days after unplugg from 100% to 15%, is that the normal ratio ?
Stand by and useage, seem pretty ill defined parameters. Especially to compare android to apple battery use. Does standby mean total on time, or total on time minus screen on, or total on time minus certain heavy use operations(which prob also includes screen on time)? Do you know purely screen on time for your ipad mini? That might be the best, first comparison to the note 10.1 ( since note does have a big screen but also big battery-8220 mah) that would be useful number wise.
Im not going to try but it would be interesting to know how long note 10.1 lasts in sleep mode only. I use mine to much to test only that. So ill see if I have any screens of my useage that I have made(prob now deleted), but I will also test to see how long I get with my average use next charge cycle (reported in screen on vs total up time).
Also if its is 10% in 8hrs (standby/sleep) thats still 80 hrs or over 3days. At the worst you say 20%,thats 40 hrs, a little less than 2 days. If those are true indicative number for the note 10.1 that represent a decent number of average users then your experience should fall somewhere in between, making it close to your experience with your ipad.

in ipad standby time means the time since you unplugged your device including running and sleeping time , usage time means the time ipad actually running = screen on time on android
i don not know if 6-7 hours of screen on time on my new note will be persistent or it will increase to 10-11 hours like the fellow up there after the rush period of usage of the the new device , anyway i will be very satisfied if it reach 9 hours :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Ok makes sense. Normally I use my note 10.1 without always fully charging and always turn it off at night. Ive tested by fully charging and leaving it on at night, so that it is in sleep/standby then. Last night I put it away with 29% battery and over 10hrs later it was on 28%. :victory: See screen shots. You can't actually read 10 hours, but if you look at total uptime and see how flat the battery curve is for half of that time you can tell I'm being very reasonably accurate. My screen use is 5hrs (screenshot) and that is what really took most of my juice. I was mostly watching 1080p youtube.
Almost the same here , hope for two or more hours after lollipop update inshaallah
Mine is the same about 1-2% if left on standby
Id suggest flashing a custom rom with a custom kernel. They figured out how to get 0.5-2% on stand by. Its alot of the bloatware that comes with the tablet and background apps which are running. Google apps also have a heavy drain on the battery during stand by. Using an app like Titanium back up to freeze or uninstall the apps will help with this problem.
I haven't seen a thread created for this. So what kind of SOT are you getting per charge? Curious as I have a desktop replacement laptop with a 4790k/980m GPU that still kicks butt up and down but I am considering a chromebook, tab s4 or a thin and light for mobility purposes. Curious to what kind of SOT's possible with this tablet. DEX makes this an enticing product too.
I get really good battery life. Easily between 7-9 hours SOT. obviously depending on what your doing but heavy use will easily last you about a day and a half and light use will easily last 3 or 4 days
I have not checked since but for my first cycle I got a SOT of 10h50m with light at around 60% (a lot of video including HDR).
Guess I will have to wait for more people to buy. Curious how the 7300mah battery, 10.5" display and it being AMOLED play out. Kind of hoping 10h SOT is the norm before even optimizing it with black wallpaper and dark themes.
As I don't charge it above 80% and don't let it drop below 20% I have no idea what's SOT but battery last long enough to me. I do have it as black as possible though, for battery purposes as well as esthetics.
I get from 11 to 12 hours of SOT in a week usage. I charge once a week!

9-12 hours depending on the workload and brightness. I easily get a day of use out of the device despite SOT. On top of that, %90 of the time I get 2 days without any issues.

how did you do for the battery to give you that performance ??? I can only get 8 or 9 hours of active screen with WiFi and without playing.

Havoc Os + BitKernel v.3 (wifi+4g)
Just reading manga y play Clash of clans with minimal brightness
8h in mangadog
Here is mine
Here is mine
Are you all sure that SOT isn't calculated also while displaying fingerprint area? I didn't test it yet, but it probably also counts sot, so the displayed parameter may show bs.
hmm I don't know, could be.
I used chrome a lot but not sure if it adds up to 7h. I mainly used the phone in bed with lights turned off so the brightness was at lowest setting the most of the time...
I might disable the fingerprint display if thats possible an post another screenshot.
I disabled some sensors with an xposed module and have the feeling that the battery lasts a bit longer since that.
Can give u a list of disabled sensors if you are interested.

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).
