Question Always on Display battery - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

I received my S21 Ultra on Tmobile Wednesday and I got around 4.5 hours of SOT. However, I noticed the AOD was taking roughly 27% of the battery usage. Has anyone else that received theirs's notice high AOD battery usage?

How good is the battery life for you guys?

I know it's a large battery that's why I'm asking this question. My p9 plus drops from 100-95 relatively quickly just by using whatsapp and instagram. like less than an hour. Is that normal or is it just me?
Sorry but that is bad?
Which mobile are you coming from???

errr..? the huawei p9 plus? Cause some people say they could get more than a day out of this phone with normal usage but I can't seem to do that haha. I could if I keep the screen off like most of the time but definitely not normal usage.
A lot depends on the phone signal, if you move into areas where the signal is poor the phone is constantly looking to better that signal... Using more power. 5% an hour is pretty good by my reconning.. Will give you around 20 hours to zero.
I am coming from samsung A8. Comparing A8 the p9 plus is better in battery back up for me.
Mine is good too. Comparing with Xperia Z1 Compact is much much better. I have 5 to 6 hours of SOT and above average usage. With normal usage usualy I have close to 7 hours and 3 to 5% juice in it.
my battery life is amazing, best I've ever had on a phone, I would install wakelock detector and see whats eating your battery, I recently got over a 100 hrs between charges which is amazing, SOT was 7 hours 26 min, I do have greenify installed though which helps.
2 days and 1 hour here with 22℅ left and 5 hours SOT
This thing is just amazing
For me battery is perfect, mostly 2 days between charge and 6 hours SOT, no root pure stock for now all with normal usage.
Best battery I've ever had on any phone, even the ones with 4000mAh battery can't match this. This thing just rocks! After 3 full charging cycles I am stable on 2 days between charging with most of the time on wi-fi or 4g/3g and gps on when needed and my SOT is 8hrs up. Righ now I have 11%batt remaining and 8hrs 01min SOT.

What do you mean full charge cycle? And 2 days with 6 hours screen on time meaning your battery can last 2 days inclusive of the 6 hours SOT? cause for mine, I plugged it out at 9am and now it's already at 49%. Screen on time probably about 3-4 hours so far.
That is insane amount of screen on time. If this for was 2k screen I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I have to wait for the P10 Plus

i think he means that he load the P9 Plus 3 time from 0 to 100%
Dropping from 100% to 95% after using Whatspp and Instagram for an hour is normal. My P9 Plus can last me more than 1 day with noramal browsing, emails, SMS and Whatsapp. It is way better than my LG V10.
First battery cycle and second cycle
WhatsApp all day
1 hour instagram
1 hour eyeem
2 hours lightning browser
Some photos
Easy 6+ hours SOT
The battery is not as good as I expected. I unplugged it at 6.45am and my usage are as follows:
WhatsApp
Facebook
Clash of Clans
Instagram
WeChat
and a little bit of browsing
My battery was 11% when I got home at 7pm. SOT was around 3 hours. Is this normal? I have to charge my phone everyday unlike what others has said.
everyone have different apps installed and we all use our device differently. Waste of time to compare each others battery life.
I have a lot of **** running in the background and i just charge when i need. Nothing i worry about, always a arm length from an electrical outlet. (home, work, school, train etc.)

Unfortunately all the apps u r running are power-intensive. I suppose if u keep running those apps from 6.45am until 7pm (which is more than 12 hours) and still left some juice on it, this should consider very good battery life already.
The P10 should be a serious contender when it comes out. I am torn between Samsung S8, Sony Zeus and the P10 Plus. I'm really interested to see what the P10 plus and Sony Zeus have to offer.
I just got phone two days now ,At second charge,very satisfied

Screen on time

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 Google Pixel 2 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Outstanding. 3h 45m SOT over 9 hours and 49% left still

Awesome. Sounds like at that rate it would just break 7 hours SOT. Thats amazing for an 800 series on such a small battery, imo.

I finally charged around 2am at 5% after clocking 5 hr 52 m SOT
Today is overcast and rainy in Portland (surprise)
So I've only had to keep brightness between 20-40%
I am extremely happy about battery life.
45% left with 4 hours 40 minutes SOT. Today has been very average in terms of my usage, light gaming, light social media, light browsing and moderate GPS navigation.

I'm on track to hit 8-9 hours SOT with pretty good usage across the board. Screen legibility at 30% brightness is awesome too! Have had no problems reading text or watching videos/taking pictures. There was one time I was sitting in a cafe directly under a bright light and I had to turn brightness up to 60%. I've still never had to crank it to 100% yet.
Screen on time, on wifi, has been awesome. Over 6 hrs last charge, today, over 4 hrs and at 65% remaining.

mine was unplugged for 24 hours, had 5hours, 15 mintues of SoT
6 hours sot
How are you people getting such massive SoT? I got 3h 20m with about 19h usage yesterday.
The current status looks like 1h sot in 9h usage (mostly overnight). I had always-on on. Screenshots attached.
I installed naptime now to see if that helps.
How do I check if the battery health is ok? I used accubattery which says about 92% health, is that normal or inaccurate measurement?
I got a little over five hours SOT with 2% left last night. Forgot to get screenshots. I was running at 50% brightness and have almost all of the "marketed" features turned on.

How many hours between last full charge & 2% for you? I have 3h sot, 16h since last full charge and 18% remaining. I am concerned about it now and need to figure out quickly whether I should return it.

Not sure but I'll do the same as I did yesterday and report back tomorrow with screenshots. Except today I'm at 40% brightness and don't want to change it.
FWIW, I am currently at 84% | Last full charge: 6h 47m ago | Screen usage since full charge: 40m.

I am guessing you charged it sometime before sleeping and now in the morning it is 7 hrs since charges and some drain with minimal screen usage, hence 84%?
Yep thats exactly correct.

Are you running 100% brightness all day? Take a screenshot of your advanced battery usage page also.
No. I use adaptive brightness and if it becomes too bright sometimes I manually reduce it. I will take screenshots again today.

From what I was told some time ago, adaptive brightness uses a sensor, requiring some (a lot? A little?) battery use there. I don't know if it is much... if it counteracts the point of adaptive brightness or what.
Personally, I just use the lowest tolerable brightness, manually adjusted as needed (which isn't too frequent, honestly), and I think I get the best battery I can from the screens I use.
Might be worth testing the two out see if manual helps any.

Okay, didn't think about that but i anyway disabled adaptive brightness in the morning today. Have 2.5h SoT, 15.5h uptime so far (since last full charge) and 42% battery remaining. With this rate it is likely to be slightly under 5h SoT which is still lower than what most people are reporting.
I also installed accuBattery to check battery health and it estimated it to be 91%, are these estimates usually correct? Should I be concerned?

The other battery saver I saw posted, and it seems to be a big deal for the pixel 2... Turn Always On Display off. In the settings it even says it eats battery. Lol.

We need a one week for the accurate stat. I will have 4.5-5h looks like

Battery currently at 23%. Wifi/4G and bluetooth always on.
About 3.5/4 hrs SOT on my S10e. Coming from a P20 Pro with 8-10hrs SOT (with just a 900mAh larger battery), this is really, really bad
My s10+ exynos
avg. 8.40hr sot

I am getting over 5 hours. Phone off the charger at 5:30am. Go all day. GPS. Music. Messages. Email. Little social media. Plugging back in at 10:00pm with 20% left.
Turn on adaptive battery in settings. Big difference. Remove Facebook app and use browser instead with a shortcut to home screen so it feels like an app.
Sorted.

I agree, i come from a Motorola Z2 Force and the S10e with exynos i get 3.5hrs SoT max. Im reading everywhere complains about the performance, battery and signal on the Exynos variant. I´m regreting in getting this phone. too bad in Mexico, they don´t have option to take it back. So im selling this phone.
S10 (Exynos) - SOT
I got 6hours & 10min of SOT on my Galaxy S10 (Exynos)
7 hours exynos UK soft Xeu
Anywhere between 5.5 & 6.5 SOT for me depending on usage.
S10 SD855 US unlocked version.
My Exynos S10 version is very similar.
Hey guys. i have the S10 Snapdragon. and my avg SOT is only 4-4.5hrs with 4g on during the day. the battery comes down quite quickly than i thought.. i thought it would be better than the exynos. but not really. my settings are- AOD off-only turns on when receive notifications through the AOD app. and also have the good locker to change animations. are these hogging battery? apart from these all regular usage. how are u getting 6-7 hrs??
3 hrs on s 10 exynos variant, very disappointed, feels like I got issues with my battery...
Using night mode ,aod off, 30 mins gaming, max 2 hrs video ...
Anyone with the same??

Battery life

Anybody facing severe drop in screen on time after 1 year of use. I am on version 2004.60. i used to get approximately 7-8 hours of SOT until recently, now it has dropped to 4 hours. The phone shows i have good battery health but there is severe drop in SOT.

Question Average battery life

Hey,
Finally I bought this beautiful phone and used it for couple of days but I'm not verry impressed with the battery life
I only get 4:45 5 hours of screen on time
Is this normal?
What is your opinion about this?
There is a battery life thread already. Go there and read it. You'll find plenty of opinions.
SOT is a nonsense way to measure IMHO.
As it would really depend on how one uses the phone.
I get anything between 5- 8 hours SOT depending on what I do.
120htz, 5g, Bluetooth and screen brightness on 50%
Rest is all auto or adaptive.
Working days I come home with around 70% battery and them try to deplete it by playing COD and stuff in the evening and still have 40 -30 % left.
I do charge overnight regardless how much battery is left as I like a full battery in the mornings.
