Post your capacity readings from Accubattery app here.
I am getting about 3200mAh, which is concerning to say at least since it is a brand new device.

Jusr for info, after watching a teardown video I realized he battery is actually 3835mah not 4000 !
Accubattery is not that accurate.
So when I charge my phone 20-80% it shows 2900mAh is the battery capacity. And when I charge it 0-100% it shows 3900
I don't think it is about accubattery not doing its job. I think it is because our phones don't show us the true values of percentages - and that is what the app is using to approximate battery capacity.
It's like from 0 to 20 percent it can hold charge as it would (if measured accurately) from 0 to 30 and from 50 to 65 as it would from 50 to 65 - using numbers just 4 example..
Anyways, its good too see some data shared so we can compare.

with just 2 readings over 40% reloading accubattery readings are pretty much worthless, you need several 80%+ charges (even better 100%) charges to get the a somewhat accurate reading.

You are confusing typical and rated.
Typical is the "physical" capacity of the battery from 100 to 0% at 3.87V.
Rated is according to what the manufacture expects it to be the operating conditions, that includes discharge rate (C), actual voltage it needs to supply, temperature etc.
So this battery has 4000mAh, but inside this phone under conditions deemed normal operation range it will deliver ~3800mAh.
For some reason , the battery health is 94%. First time I've seen health scores below 100%.
Same here, I get around 3300mah for charges between 40—60%
As you can see below the results are quite good. Got 34h runtime with over 4h SOT.
The battery is still showed as small.
I did install the latest update, set preferred 3g (i have wifi almost everywhere and for background sync 3g is more than enough), and switched on battery saver in developer options (no idea if that helps).
I think the accubattery estimations are wrong because it shows the wrong charging current. The phone has 30W and Accu shows 4,8A and 3,9V which is around 20W.
This is very poor battery life.
1 day 10 hours idle is ok.
But 4hours screen time to 1% is extremely weak. 6-8 hours minimum expected in 2021
i was hoping to buy this phone as it's the only compact 5.9" phone but the CPU is just too high.
They need a weaker, less power using CPU version like snapdragon 760 midranger or even a lower spec 8 series snap.

This is not a good summary. 34h idle eats up around 60% so the SOT of 4h was only on 40% which is very good. When I use the phone more intensively I have around 14h use with 6h SOT. If you'd just use it purely with screen on you'd get over 7h SOT continuously.
For me the phone is enough - I get whole day off normal usage. There aren't any flagship specced phones that will get me through 2 days.
But you're right about the SOC - I would be happy with a 780 or 870 instead as I have no idea where I can use the power! But but 5.2, possibility of 5G, quicker photo processing have to stay.

Thanka.can you advise did you try the magisk module to modify the power profiles??
I'm curious what battery life you can get on the durable / ultra durable setting the developer made which limits cpu

No, I didn't play with any modding.
I have enabled power save in dev options. And I have auto ultra durable after 10pm. I just say that I can't see any difference in performance between this and dynamic. I have it still on 90hz as i changed the defaults.
From my experience the two things that kill the battery are AOD and location, but that's based on old firmware so maybe it's improved

I'd be happy if they use 870 instead of 888 but need to swap the main camera sensor from IMX686 with IMX766 to compensate with lower spec ISP..but that is just me =)
I got the ZF8 on Thursday afternoon and returned it on Saturday morning.
Something must be messed up with the way the phone is charging, or the battery is crap or a lot lower capacity than advertised.
I've been using the app for quite some years now, and never has it ever shown such a big difference in capacity after the first couple of charges.
I have reinstalled OOS on my 2 years old now OP7, and after first charge it reports 3300mAh out of 3800mAh originally, which is consistent with what I was getting on a few months installation of PE.
I installed it a few months back on my wife's S20FE and it was bang on with the reported capacity on the first charge.
I installed it on ZF8, and for a 20-100% charge it was saying 3087mAh out of 4000mAh. So 77% after the first charge, and it remained like that after the second. Too much of a difference to think nothing is wrong.
I'm sorry, I liked the phone and the size so much, but the battery lasted more or less about 75% of what my 2 year old OP7 lasts.
I am getting 3250 mAh in AccuBattery but I am using the special battery technology provided by Asus which charges the last 20 % very slowly. I think this crashes AccuBattery.
After 20 days of usage I get around 6,5 hours of screen time (fully charged) and I get through the day (from morning to morning) without any issues.
I've used the Galaxy s10e which provided lousy 3,5 h SOT which lead me to charging it 3 to 4 times a day.
Coming from bull**** to the Zenfone 8, I am quite happy - Especially since all the updates must have increased SOT dramatically.
This is what I've found too, that capping the battery charge at 80% makes accubattery think that the phone only has 80% of its health.
Same here, when I Drained the phone to 0 and charged to 100, accubattery showed 3950mAh, and when I Limit the charge to 80% it sits around 3000 mAh
I've found something at reddit:

I just thought I would share this just in case if anyone was interested. I bought this battery for my Samsung Captivate and it works well. So I decided to out try it in my Focus to see if it would fit..it fit perfectly!! I have had the battery for only 2 weeks now but it does work better and it looks to be Samsung OEM.
So just to recap this fits with the stock back. It is but you will never notice once it closes

Just to clarify...this 1800mah battery fits under the OEM samsung focus cover?? Can you update this thread with usage times?
I would also like to know if this battery is available in EU?

Correct this battery fits under the stock cover. This phone isn't my daily phone so I can't tell you how much longer it lasts. What I can tell you though is that in my Captivate (daily phone) it lasts longer for sure, probably about 20 to 30% more. I literally used it in the Focus for like half a day and it had no issues.
Okay I am using the battery in the focus today. It does snap. Lose but it is a tight fight. If you have a case it won't be a problem at all. One corner from my phone unsnaps randomly but one of my clips is broken so that could be the case also.
I received today the Chinese batteries.
They fit perfectly in the Focus and looks like they're exactly the same size. I've started the phone with one and it works fine.
Battery cover is absolutely the same with this one as with the original. I didn't notice any difference in weight either.
See for yourselves:

I will charge one fully and test it asap and will post back the results.
Could you PM me where did you buy that chinesse battery?
I tested the Chinese batteries and they're weak, as I expected.
They held 3h 05m on WP Bench where as my 1 year old original Focus battery held 3h 50 min in the same battery test, that's 80% of the battery I have now and I remember in NoDo, on WP Bench battery was holding about 6h.
So, they're good as backups, but in no way better than the originals.
The originals should be better, in theory.
I bought the Anker battery from amazon which was around 10 bucks. Its also 1800 mah, but is the same size as the Samsung OEM stock batter that comes with the focus. Seemed to last about 36 hours with light use on my Focus. One thing I noticed - the charging indicator never stops blinking to say that is finished charging. IMHO doesn't seem to give much more than a fresh new stock OEM battery - although for 10 bucks I agree would make a good back up, thats about it.
Here's the link to the battery I purchased:

I never knew about WP Bench. Wish I had. My Focus had 420 or so cycles on it's battery and had a rapid performance decline in charge holding. It also blew up (physically) a bit. I replaced it with a replacement OEM from Batteries +.
The replacement doesn't seem to be the equivalent of Day 1 on the Original battery but maybe Mango and my usage is far more than before.
The knock off batteries, the misrepresented mah ratings, and even the out-right faking of batteries has my jaw dropped. Buyer beware.
I contend that the battery issue, battery fakes, and cheap replacements is 100% the reason Apple doesn't make their battery accessible. They want a tight control over those batteries to guarantee performance.
I just ordered the OEM from first post. When it arrives, I will attempt to do scientific tests and post results. I'll use WP Bench as mentioned before since that is likely the most accurate way to test.
Stock Battery
4:11:57
Airplane mode and NOTHING running…
UPDATE
Ok, Here is a Preliminary set of numbers with 1800 battery...
4:43:19
Same settings and still NOTHING running:
Reason I say preliminary is because this was after the FIRST charge. When the phone finished charging again, I needed to use the phone, so was unable to set it for a test run again. I'll attempt that again tonight. BUT, for the record, I took the phone with me to Reno, NV and used it for over 1 1/2 days without charging. Used the Internet, Maps, and Showing it off to family, taking 15 mins of video during the fireworks, and still had 10% battery left over... I'm really anxious to see what my test results will be this next time...
FYI, it is a fairly tight fit within the cover, but it DOES fit. Once I got all the snaps snapped, it feels very secure.

Could you send us the link for purchase, please?
Yeah, that's strange, the link died on the first post. Here's a link to eBay with a bunch available... Look for part # EB625152VA If you Bing/Google this number, you will find other resellers too.
If you like paying full price, buy direct from Samsung: http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB625152VABSTD
Larger Battery Tests
Ok, final numbers, photos, and thoughts. The battery is snug, (if you look carefully, you can see a slight deformation on the battery cover where it is forming over the oversized Galaxy battery) but after it is snapped closed, you won't notice as jev3gs has already mentioned. Images attached.
I've made a correction for the time posted in above post (Copied it wrong), and have performed two tests with each battery, so I'm confident that the numbers here are correct. The tests were within about 30 seconds of each other on each battery.
Stock Focus Battery 5.55Wh 1500 mAh
PN# EB575152VA
4hrs 11mins 57sec
= 251.95 Minutes
Galaxy S™ II Battery 6.66Wh 1800 mAh
PN# EB625152VA
4hrs 43mins 40sec
= 283.67 Minutes
This is an improvement of 31.72mins, or 11%! That's using WP Bench which kills the battery very quickly compared to real usage.
That may not seem like much, but for me in my usage, that will likely equate to an extra 1.5 hours per day. 12 hours + 11% = 13.32 hours.
(According to the printed battery specs, you should actually receive about 16% extra, my tests showed a little lower. Maybe will get better with more usage.)
I have not done charging tests yet, but it also seems like it is charging faster. That may be in my head, but it seems like about an hour faster... I MIGHT test that later.
PS: Thank you jev3gs for the heads up on this tip. I was about to buy another battery anyways, so this is icing on the cake!
Thanks for taking the time and doing the review! Let us know about charging times too!
Thanks for the detailed posts SuperSport. I wish the OP had put this before I bought the Momax battery which takes forever to charge compared to the stock one.
Unfortunately, I still have not run verifiable tests to prove the charge times. It does seem faster, but normally, I charge it at night and don't pay attention to when it completes. I've been a bit to busy to run the tests during the day, so it will need to wait for now.
I've bought many OEM and Generic batteries over the years for both phones and Radio Control, and it's really hit and miss. Sometimes, the Generic blow the OEM out of the water, but usually, the OEM batteries outperform.

What do u mean by light use? My stock one, I use the phone for reading news from weave and wp7 news with WiFi enabled, and I got about 5h. I also play games for a little bit. That is my typical day usage.
I wish to use the phone for around half of the day or so, if this 1800 MAh could give me that much of power, then it is awesome

Using my 11% gain as a reference, you could expect 5.55 hours, up from 5 hours. If Samsung is correct, and it's 16% gain, then it would be 5.8 hours. Still not quite 1/2 day...
Why not design a bigger physical frame and slap in a bigger battery to accommodate the higher end specs? I'm sure a lot of Nexus 5 users can agree.

I don't know, but I'll say this. I get as good, if not better, battery life than I did with the Galaxy S4 using a ZeroLemon 3000mah battery.
I have no qualms about the battery - it does more than enough for me and I can get a days use with around 40% left at night
Problem is what's good for one is crap for another - you can't win!
I think those who are good with the battery must be using an HSPA network
I dont need a bigger battery and if they had to make the phone larger to accommodate it I would stick with what I have now.

Possibly, as I'm only on 3G until next year, but my colleague on 4G with a Nexus 5 has no issues with battery either - and he uses his phone a LOT more than I do!
The issue here is all down to an individuals usage patterns and apps in use. I literally only use Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, G+, Hangouts (for the odd SMS), BT Sport/Sky Go for the Football and the phone itself - that's it! I don't play games and rarely watch video bar the odd YouTube moment when on the toilet!
While I'm happy with my N5 and regularly make it through 2 days on a charge due to excellent standby time, the screen on time is slightly disappointing. My G'Nex saw 5½ hours SOT regularly when new, whereas the N5 is usually 4-4½. I know the N5 is a more powerful phone all around with a slightly larger screen, but the battery is also considerably larger capacity and you kind of expect 2 year newer technology to be better in EVERY respect, not worse in battery life.
With that said by the time I got my N5 my G'Nex was only averaging 2½ hours SOT a charge (don't know if the battery was just wearing out or newer android versions just drained more and more), so the 5 does feel like a good increase. Overall though 4 hours SOT and only charging every other day is perfectly acceptable to me.

Nexus5 has a similar sized battery as the HTC One(my last phone), and this far surpasses the One in battery life.
1) Greatly reduced idle power consumption
2) LTE envelope tracking
3) Improved power efficiency of the Snapdragon 800-series chips
Once you stop all the poorly written software you have on your device from keeping the device awake, hogging CPU and/or keeping GPS active, the N5 has amazing battery life.
I have 3 google accounts + facebook + google voice + linkedin + google plus, on AT&T LTE, and my idle consumption is <1%/hr, for over 100 hours standby time.
1 hour of screen on time / day = 75-80% remaining when I go to bed, assuming I haven't plugged the device in at all, and didn't use GPS.
I get better battery life on LTE networks -- less awake time waiting on background data, envelope tracking and better coverage (AT&T has done a great job with 700mhz LTE in Austin)
Beats all my previous droids by a large margin.
The Nexus 5 battery gets me through the day without any issues. Even then, I have wireless chargers on my office desk, my home desk, and my nightstand, so keeping it powered is not an issue.
When I do need more juice, I have an 11,000 mAh battery pack.
The thing with a larger phone for battery life is that you always have to take that with you, no matter how much juice you will be using. With the Nexus 5, I have a battery that meets my daily usage patterns and I can carry extra power when I need it.

Coming from an iPhone 5, I'm more than happy with the battery life of my nexus 5. Haven't even done any battery saving tweaks yet, even have auto brightness on. This sucker rocks! I'm sure I'll eventually get into saving the battery usage, but just saying that for now, it still beats my iPhone 5 in everything so far.
Recently I wanted to transfer a few files between the two, and had everything turned off on the iPhone except for WiFi, and my nexus just like normal (Bluetooth on, WiFi, cell, etc). I was impressed to see the nexus 5 STILL last longer than my iPhone 5.

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the HTC 10's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I get extremely good battery with light usage.

On wifi, the battery is in the ruins, no matter you use the phone or not. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562
With wifi off and using data only, I am at 81% after 22 hours of light usage with 1hr15min SOT. If I just extrapolate, I end up with about 5 days of 6hrs SOT of light usage off the charger. But that's not going to happen, I will likely end up with 3 days and 3 hrs of SOT on light usage... I will likely end the experiment (of keeping it off the charger) tomorrow after 48 hours off the charger and see how it went. We shall see.

That's been my experience. This phone just goes and goes and goes with light use. I've found it quite easy to get 36 hours and still have 30%+ remaining, and I live in an area with poor cell coverage.
I concur, if the wifi signal is weak, then the batter will drain rather quickly.

The wifi issue on HTC 10 has got nothing to do with signal strength. Signal strength is fine. It seems to affect certain people or may be most people don't even know it affects them. Have a look at the post I linked to. It has more details and a way to find if you are affected or not.

Hmm. I considered it to be related to the poor wifi signal in the part of the house where I was sleeping. The phone lost nearly 20% in 4 hours last night. Today, at my office, it has lost 4% in 4 hours with strong wifi and cell signals.
I don't know too much about adb, but if I can help, let me know.
I for one experience better standby on Wifi than on 4G (and I assume that is normal). I did a light-use run and I got a little bit over 40 hrs of use with 2 hrs 45 min screen-on time. It actually lasted me a whole two days as HTC brags about. From this perspective, one of the best phones I ever owned. On wifi, over night, the phone would lose maybe 1%... 2%tops

That's how it should be. A good wifi connection should be eating less battery than LTE.
You are the guy/gal we are looking for in that other thread.... Can you please post with your output in that other thread? I will likely have some more questions for you as we diagnose this issue on HTC10. It seems to affect quite a few people. So, your help will be greatly appreciated.

That's about the right rate for a strong wifi connection. So, your wifi is working fine as well.
After 1st charge I got barely 26 hours battery with 20% left. Hope things will improve with next charges

Best result so far with light usage: a little bit over 41 hours. That's more than two full work days... In this time I did play a little and had a few serious sessions of browsing, blinkfeeding and Facebook. But almost no camera, YouTube or music. Most of the time on Wifi, the rest on 4G+. Still, 41 hrs with 2 hr:40 min SOT is good enough for me for this type of usage. Best phone so far as endurance is concerned...
Here is my "light" usage: 2h45m SOT, 54hrs off the charger, 52% used. All the use is over 4G LTE (good 3 bars), no wifi (see my post about wifi drain at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562). With 48% remaining, I am projected to reach over 90hrs off charger with more than 5hrs of SOT.
Brightness at 40% with Auto, which is plenty bright for me indoors AND outdoors with Auto boost. Cores locked at 1Ghz (little ones) and 1.6Ghz (big ones), which is plenty of power for me. Note that Power saver mode locks them all at 1.3Ghz. I am not using the Power saver mode (extreme power save mode is different than this) because it ruins the brightness completely, and 1.3Ghz is too slow.
Nearly 4 days off charger with 5hrs SOT is totally unbelievable. This is my typical work days where I don't get to play with the phone a whole lot. HTC 10 just rocks!!

After using the phone for over an hour and half for calls today, I am left with 79 hrs off the charger, 4hrs SOT with 10% remaining. Expected to reach 88hrs (or may be even more when EPS kicks in at 5%..), 4h25m SOT. Not quite 4 days off charger but very very close. This is the light use phone to get!!
BTW, during the calls the screen was dimly lit.... It should turn the screen off to save battery during the call. So, technically that hour and half of calls today probably ate more battery than they should have.
One more light usage screenshot. This time with wifi on most of the time except for when I sleep. 4 days and 1 hrs with 3.5hrs of SOT, with 10% battery still in the tank. HTC 10 is a battery life beast!!

Ha, now that you've resurected my post, I can give an update... In June, on WiFi, it usually sucked about 1-2% overnight, but now, after more than four months, it goes down up to 10% overnight... I think a system refresh is in order
Mines pretty bad, light use would be it sitting in my drawer a lot.
My work iPhone does the same (i don't pay for it, it's just for email, don't judge me)
Anyway, this iPhone 6, nothing special, has three emails running, wifi always on, occasionally make a call, but thats it.
One charge, 165hrs about 3.5 hours SOT, so yea very little use.
But i just couldn't do that with the HTC, maybe in airplane mode but for me it dies pretty quick, a day maybe more, but thats it.
Reason i mentioned the crapple phone was that i was shocked to see the stamina of it, crazy, but if i was using it normally, it'd be dead in 6 hours lol i wouldn't swap my htc.
Third day with mine and battery is killer. I'm at 14 hours plus overall and 5 hours plus of SOT. Still have 42% percent left. Unlocked S10+ on VZW.
WOW!!

I can't complain, I've taken about 100 photos on top of all the messing around and I'm at 43%. Same phone and carrier as you.

Not entirely impressed. I have the S10e Exynos version and at about 10-15 percent left I've only had between 3½ to 5 hours SOT which isn't terrible, but I definitely thought it would be better with a 1080p screen.
My battery on my S10e (Snapdragon Version) drains very quickly. When I charge my phone to 100% then disconnect the charger from the phone. I notice that my battery percentage drops 2 to 3% within 1 or 2 minutes from a full charge after disconnecting. Does this mean that battery itself is defective?
S10e only has 3100mAh, doesn't seem like it will last all day. S10+ is almost 35% more.

Battery life for my s10+ is amazing. Came home with like 40% still with like 5 hours screen time. My average battery with my note 9 was like 4-5 hours max with like 5-10% left. Main uses: social media apps (snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, hangouts, groupme), Netflix, YouTube, crunchyroll, Google maps, xda, Amazon, chrome, camera, spotify.

my S10+ exynos do the same as you man, but it is just the first day for me with the phone , must give it some time i think and check , even the battery button in device care is saying Learning to optimize battery or something like that
Battery life ok for me. I have s10 exynos and i am getting 7hrs SOT. I am all the time on Wi-Fi. LTE will give less results.

Battery is good on my Exynos version on T-Mobile. First few days were very rough but I've disabled always on display, bluetooth/wifi scanning, mobile data always active, etc. in order to get acceptable battery life. It sucks that I can't use core features that I really enjoy but it is what it is. Hoping once the Exynos version gets root and custom kernels, I'll be able to squeeze a lot of battery. Attached was my battery life mid-day.
I'm going to try to enable the always on display and what not to see if the battery just needed a few more days to optimise.
I have owned a lot of phones and I've never had good battery life out of the box. It usually takes a few charging cycles for the battery to settle in.
AOD type of apps also get counted in SOT, such as Always On Edge.
First full charge cycle. Not bad considering I've been on it setting the phone up how I want and that One UI's battery gets better as it learns your usage patterns. This is at full resolution.

I thought USA have the snapdragon version of s10. I'll post my first cycle once I hit 15%
quite happy with the battery life of my S10e (exynos)
So the day after I post that I'm not impressed with the battery, I've been getting this battery life today. A bit over an hour of gaming and half an hour of YouTube, 3 and a half hours total screen on time at 50%. I'm happy with that, on the Exynos S10e.
Ok so here's what I got after the first full charge. Got my device yesterday in UK galaxy s10 exynos 128/8 gb model. Overall not hugely impressed with battery life although it too early to come up with a final verdict. I wasn't expecting to be blown away with battery life due to the fact that exynos model is 8nm compare to the SD model 7nm so efficiency wise exynos behind than SD model. So i went ahead tuned off auto brightness, AOD kept my brightness around 35-50% during my usage. Had adaptive power saving turned on. Night mode. Purchased package disabler and disabled few packages like Facebook, LinkedIn bixby etc. And had background data and activities disabled for bunch of my apps that I do not require push notifications. Its still too early to say anything but I was only using my phone for social media, WhatsApp some YouTube and streamed for a bit. Hopefully after few cycles I'll get around 5+ SOT (because I'm spoiled with pocophones 4000 mah with 8 hours of SOT)
Coming from my note 8 to this snapdragon s10, I wasnt expecting much of a difference (3300 vs 3400mah), but boy the difference is night and day. I have to say this s10 has truly surprised me with battery life. I would recommend going through all the settings menus and enabling certain battery features, such as the automatic power mode. I have easily surpassed 8 hours screen on time and my standby is fantastic as well, as high as 18 hours so far. I literally can go a full day with this device (have owned it 3 days), which is a first for me with any android/Samsung product. Very surprising as I am a very heavy user. To put it in perspective, I am charging this device nearly as often as my iPad Pro 10.5, which is shocking to me.
Currently at 17 hours on battery with 4 hours on screen at 42%. Screen is always on WQHD+ and I am running AOD. Again, very pleased. Was a bit concerned about not getting the s10+ due to battery size, but I couldn't stand the dual camera on the front. After using the note 8, I have no regrets as this battery life is about 3x better than my note, even after a fresh restore.
Got my S10 yesterday, it's a exynos model. On the moment not very pleased with it's battery life. It came out of the box 40% so i've used it till around 17% and did a charge to 100%
On the moment it's at 83% with 45min screen time and it's 2 hours ago that i've unplugged it. It's not bad but it aint very good either. But must say my galaxy watch is always contected, and i've made a 20 min call. I'll check it out in a few days when it had some full charge cycles under it's belt.
i don't know why the phone drops from 100% to 98% very fast , just after i unplug it from charger and start using it , then the rate of decrease becomes normal and according to usage ?
the trend nowadays is that the phones stays long time on 100% than it should then starts dropping like the iphones do , but on the s10+ it is totally the opposite !
also i had very good standby drain the first day of use , then yesterday which is the 2nd day of use the battery dropped about 5% in just 4 or 5 Hours sleep and the phone is in airplane mode ! but anyway the phone states that it is still learning the usage patters of me to adjust to it & to optimize the apps.

Good to know, I'll keep an open mind for the next few days. But so far the only data that doesn't support a ~3050 mAh battery is the very first charge, for about 50%, estimated 3400 mAh.
How low was yours before it started getting better?

Yup same thing for me. Battery capacity of 3150 after a full drain and charge x2. Fyi, I hate full cycles but it needed to be done for my own sanity lol. Sot of 5 to 6 hours on 30 to 50 percent brightness. Battery drain while screen on is 12% and screen off at 1.4%. My tests are based off accubattery. Even if the app calculates estimated capacity wrong, I doubt it has inaccurate calculations for the other measurements. Feel like screen on drainage should be better given the new processor and larger battery. Is everyone else getting similar drainage patterns?
I just downloaded accubatteru and for my s10+ it battery capacity is showing only 4000, is this normal?

You mean the design capacity? Or estimated capacity? I'm not sure how the design capacity is determined, but if that is the one you are talking about, than yes i believe so. My S10 says 3300 instead of 3400 for design capacity.
That number doesn't really mean much. its the ESTIMATED capacity that is the real head scratcher. After a few charges, post what you get!
Also, If you find the wallpapers that people have made for "see through" phones, that show all the internals, the batteries actually are "Rated" for 100 mAh less than whatever "Typical" is. Written right on the battery.
S10+ is Rated at 4000 mAh, Typical 4100 mAh
S10 is Rated at 3300 mAh, Typical is 3400 mAh.

Have you used Accubattery? Try it out and see what the estimated battery numbers say after a few charges. If its not a capacity issue, the app will also calculate some data that might narrow down why, such as your % burn rates with the screen on and off.
Just installed it now. What should I be looking at specifically? I've had the phone a week now already and the battery keeps getting worse.

you will have to wait a few days of fully using and recharging the phone to get real meaningful data
The estimated battery capacity shows up in two places. On the 'Charging' page at the very bottom, I believe this is estimated based on your last charge. and on the 'Health' page, i believe this one is a weighted average of all previous charges.
On the Discharging page:
Discharging speeds for Screen on and Screen off are very important. Also the 'in deep sleep for' numbers can be telling. When you aren't using your phone for long periods of time, your phone should be going into deep sleep. If not, your 'screen off' burn rates will be high.
I get about 1.1%/hour for screen off if its not doing anything.
If I have Pandora running, or Google maps directions running with the screen off, I get about ~4.5%/hour
Screen on burn rate will vary depending on your usage, brightness, resolution, etc.
Thanks, I'll use it for a few days and see with this on.

Have you used accubattery? What's your estimated battery capacity?
I'm actually getting good battery life (Snapdragon). I got about 7.5 hours SOT my last full charge, almost 29 hours total. Burn rate is about 10%/hr screen on on FHD+. But my battery is only testing at about 3100 mAh. Almost 10% lower than what it should be.
I got some charger testers/meters and they are pretty much agreeing with accubattery, that 100% charge is only about 3100 mAh.
Worst battery life on my exynos s10. I hope it gets better after a few charge cycles.

I get around 6 hours of battery life which isn't bad. However, I have the same issue of only 3100 mah which really isn't acceptable. Basically I'm starting off with 92% battery life on a new device. That makes no sense.

Agree. I'm going to try to get a new phone at best buy, and if I can, I'll be returning my preorder to samsung. I'll miss out on the free buds unfortunately, but it is what it is. This isn't something I can unsee haha.
My estimates did go up a little, from 3050 to about 3150 after i fully charged it, even a little beyond 100%. Like I mentioned in a previous post, I have a charger tester that reads out voltage and current to the phone, so I waited until it was reading 0 amps and then disconnected the phone. I also got a 2nd and 3rd charger tester ($10 on amazon) to verify the capacity counter on it was accurate. Sure enough, all 3 and accubattery say about 3090 to 3150 mAh.
