Video comparison shows just how awful the S10's battery life truly is. - Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaceWOjSbbs&t=2s
As if you didn't already notice it with first hand experience to those who own one. S10's 3400 battery capacity just barely beats iphone XS's 2698 capacity by 15 minutes.

I have no idea what you're talking about. My S10 gets phenomenal battery life, much better than my XS. And I use it more.

I have the 10e and couldn't be happier with battery life. And I'm coming from a OnePlus 6T which had crazy battery life.

It seems like a possibility, since the video states that all phones compared were never used before.

I had an issue with battery life when I first got my device,however after a cache reset it became better and with the latest update I have no complaints now.

Yeah, the test isn't accurate due to the usage of the phones. I'm over 8 hours SOT on the S10.

It says my estimated capacity is 3266 and the designed capacity is 3300

After March update its got a lot better. The screenshot was taken at 25% battery.

And its supposed to be 3400. How many charges do you have for that 3266 estimate? It takes a few charges to be accurate. Most people who reported are getting around 3150 for the S10

The big question is, DOES it really last 2 x longer
will it work with the TILT2 from ATT in the US?
Bulky
yeah i understand it 2x capacity meaning two standard 1500mAH battery combine to = one 3000mAH battery.
Have you seen any battery that the same size as the standard battery but offering at least 20% more battery life?
It's not the same size, it has another cover and the size is almost double...

Seidio 1750mah is about as close as you're gonna get.
This will not work with the US-version of the phone.
2000mAH for less than $10 including shipping and it is std size.
I have been using this battery for the past 2 weeks and can say that I get alot more out of it in a day despite some heavy use.

Just took the plunge, ordered two of these as well. The seller seems to be very reputable. Will post when the two arrive that I ordered.
Just ordered 2 as well (And I live in HK so I may very well get it before you ehehe )
Given the price it's worth a try. The seller looks serious, but it's very possible we end up with a lemon battery which doesn't perform much better thna the original one (Again given the price it wont be a terrible loss...)

You can check their website, there are batteries for each type of TP2 (Sprint, or HTC original, etc, etc). I don't know if the shape actually differs but it's the same price and this way you are 100% sure to order the right one
I am a bit pissed off, ordered 3 days ago and though I live in HK it has still not been delivered...

My Inspire would be dead at that point. I can not wait for this point. I am a very heavy user and am always on my phone.
I use mine a decent bit. My infuse would have been dead about the same time this one had 20% left on it.
Phone lasted me from 10am to 8pm~ish
Im a pretty heavy user. Steady flow of texting/browsing web/emailing;
/music throughout that timespan. I say its comparable to the iPhone 4 battery life. 'Once a day charges' not 2-3x a day lol

Today:
Battery is at 48%
Phone has been on 8h 9m
Display 1h 7m (45% of consumption)
Edit: So I guess 1h 7m of display has used ~25% of the battery life.
Official battery
I've been hearing that the galaxy S2 battery from AT&T is proving to be pretty good. I don't know if you guys have heard about the official Samsung battery is supposed to be released any day now, if not there's a link.

I am hoping some company
will make a 4000mAh Extended slim battery for the Note 3
wonder who will come out 1st with it
ZeroLemon
Hyperion
Seidio
Anker

the GN3 itself is bulky already, how come you would get an extended battery for that beast?

well they made it so thin, i think there's a little leeway for an extended battery. Not sure many would see the value in it but i'd try one out.
You have to consider the factor that the OEM battery has NFC antenna.
I think I'm just going to go the external battery pack route. I'll try to find a nice 2.1A model with 5000+mAh

When you use a battery to charge another battery, you lose about 50% mah in the process. So, that 5000 mah gets cut down to only 2500 mah which your phone can actually use.

You are just pulling numbers out of your ass. I would expect around 80-90% efficiency out of one of those battery packs, which is pretty bad as is.

I've got a 4 x 18650 cell 2.5A output battery box off eBay and measured only about ~65% efficiency, giving aproximately 6500mah out of 10000mah. Still, really handy to have around.

That is really piss poor. Did you measure the efficiency directly or just by charging your battery x times? Because 80% efficiency on the output and 80% efficiency on the charge would about explain that terrible performance.

I could charge my 2012 Nexus 7 about 1.5 times giving the 65% figure. However I did also measure the capacity strictly using the 5V output and a proper discharger giving only about ~80% efficiency. Stepping up DC isn't the most efficient thing to do.

DC-DC can be very efficient with a known load and good components. But most of these units are super cheap and usually cheap out on the switchers. Often we get around 95-99% with any of our DC-DC circuits at work.

80-90% efficiency? Dream on.
Look at the Asus TF700t specs with and without the battery dock. The battery dock charges the tablet's internal battery. Crunch those number and see how efficient it is. Also, that's allowing the typical "exaggerated fudge factor" that most manufacturer's claim when marketing battery run time specs. In real world use, most people don't get those battery run times.

IMO bulky implies thick. It's long and wide, which to me is the bigger issue on pocketability. It's thinner than a lot of phones so I don't think a slim battery case is going to make it any worse (unless you wear really tight pants).

Charging speed

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think my V20 charged a little faster. But not that big of a deal. Since my Note 8 lasts all day with 6+ hours of SOT.

It does, my V20 charges faster, but battery in Note last far longer than the V20.
I did a comparison with my V20 ans my Note 8 hit 100% just a hair sooner, but my starting point was probably over 50% or so, can't really remember.
And yes my SOT is FAR FAR better on my Note 8 as well. Good thing the V20 has a removable batter, it needs it!

On my V20 it would go from 20% to 70% in 15 or 20min. I can tell a big difference. Get both down to 20 and try it

Oh I don't doubt you. I just usually don't let my phone get that low, if I can help it. I understand Samsung basically uses an older QC standard and I wish the would move on, but it's still pretty good reputedly of you like me and really go below 50%. I was expressing much worse results actually.
BTW picked up a ZeroLemon 5500mAh battery case for the Note 8 as it's an early bird price of $39.99. Not usually my thing but at that price it's nice to have of just for those occasion you know your going to need extra juice. Definitely not going to be my everyday case, I don't like big bulky cases.
There are phones with better battery life, but it still gets me all day life.

Fake Battery capacity oneplus nord

Hello everyone, I've been using a oneplus nord for the last three days and the phone is brand new. One thing I noticed is that the battery life is not that great considering it has a 4115Mah so I took a look at Aida64 battery stats when charged to 100% and it looks like the maximum capacity is 3500 Mah. I found this a bit weird since it's impossible that the battery degradated so quick and so much most of all. So I wanted to ask if you re willing to share a screenshot of aida64 of the battery capacity at 100% just to make sure if it's a single device problem or a common issue. Thanks everybody

Mines almost WiFi only, I don't get out much and I don't play graphic intensive games. So if your almost full on data it's not bad imho.
EDIT: you could try accubattery and see if it's more accurate after some charge-decharge cycles?
My is 1396mAh when fully charged. So I googled, and found this:
"On many devices the standard Android Battery API is inadequately implemented, and fails to provide proper charge counter information for the battery. If you want, you can hide the incorrect charge counter information from the Battery page by unchecking the charge counter option in the AIDA64 Settings."

I had roughly the same value. Maybe accubattery isn't reading the values properly? There was an update regarding the 8 series because it couldn't reed the values of "2" batteries. Maybe it's bugged for the Nord too?
Accubattery thinks that my battery is 6879mAh. And that is after several charges. So yeah, I think we can safely assume these number don't mean s****.
I'm testing BatteryGuru now and it shows it right...
