This was my first day after battery learning usage patterns went away. This was actually like day 4 or 5 of owning the phone.
Not bad I'd say...

Here's a screenshot of my screen on time. I used to phone pretty happy today but this is my best so far. Yesterday the phone died at around nine and a half hours fuse lately I've been loving the consistency of the battery life on this phone. It's similar to the s10 plus in the fact that the more you use it the longer it lasts. Thankfully I've had zero issues with battery drain to my knowledge.
this is on a day off with all the Bluetooth tracking nonsense turned off,
Location on during the use of one specific app for about an hour and a bit,
Optimized setting on battery,
Sync on for Gmail, ig, etc
Wi-Fi turned on all day,
no always on display,
no adaptive brightness,
What are your thoughts if anyone has questions please let me know?
(Edit phone is at 1 percent with 10h and 12min)

I saw this under device care> battery>estimated battery usage. Now it shows me approx the total hrs of battery life I have left.

Superb battery life
30 percent on data and rest on wifi. The overall battery life is amazing.
I am using exynos version.

Here is my first day on note 10+ with power medium mode no aod active 8h 30 min. and then i try with no restriction max resolutiin and aod and i got 9h and 54 min. Battery amazing on exynos version.

1/2 day lte 1/2 wifi. Aod active all day.

Excellent battery life after taming some apps

Great reception and signal. Weak results.

Maybe a rogue app you got there. Check for any app crashes.

I'm not getting good battery life...
With brightness below 50%, max resolution, always on display... I have the exynos version.

Me too... battery sucks on my exynos, brightness 35%
Why??? 5h without game or video

Haven't really formally tested all the way to zero, but today at 80% I had about 2 hours of screen time. Now I'm at 63% with nearly 3 hours of screen time. So I'm thinking 6-7 hours of screen time with my daily usage, which is excellent for me.
Performance mode on, FYI. Brightness usually 50%+.

No LTE? Are you in bad signal area? Weak signal is killer of batteries.

I don't find LTE is needed but I'm in a pretty good signal area most times.
You think I should go to a Samsung service center ?
I doubt a different device will be any different. Unless the phone is acting up, chances are it's an app or setting causing the trouble. Screen brightness, under location settings, make sure scan BTW and WiFi are turned off, those have been big ones for me in the past. Right now I'm testing adguard which runs VPN on your phone to block ads and it's hitting my battery pretty hard, but with fast charging and big battery, I'm living with it for now.
---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------
Also, you might want to set data settings to default and let the phone pick the strongest signal.

Do a factory reset and clear cache from recovery a couple of times, i would recommend a reflash. I'm a sec at best buy.
Temped to return it..
I've a UK version and I've been not really happy with battery life.
First thing, I disables AOD,but that didn't change anything.
I did a factory reset and I did set it up as fresh new without any App and/or Account.
So the phone has Wifi+LTE on and after 21h18m I've 36% left with 1h25m SoT done with Web Browsing.
The settings are standard, no sync, no AOD, Edge night mode.
Should I return the phone?
Thanks for advice
very impressed with the battery life, took it off charge yesterday around 9pm, been on all day on 4g, great 7 hours screen on time , this with auto brightness, 4 emails syncing

Battery life and usage

well every time a new phone comes out, early reviews are mixed with some having terrific batter while others are having a dreadful one. Theres only one way to have a scientific approach to measure a battery life, and it is to use a standardized test on the phone with most commonly used settings on and others off and no applications installed etc. Since that is hard to do lets just use a poll.. Whats your uptime, SOT and some major setttings...like below
UPTIME: 24hours
SOT: 6H15mn
Connectivity: LTE
Settings: Auto brightness, gmail sync
also put up screenshots of the battery tab so we can see the usage, not just people just starring at a black screen
thanks for voting guys but its also crucial that you post the infos as described that way we can help fellow members with bad battery life
Can't upload photo for some reason.

This can't be accurate; the GSM signal power and quality differs for every user and it's an important factor to consider. If I use my phone in two different locations in my city I'll have different results.

Yes there are many factors that impact the battery life unless we all run the same battery benchmark on airplane mode with default configuration and no apps installed, battery life is not comparable but it's just to get an average
The new chip is just bad. This won't get fixed.
You can try to use a custom battery savings mode and just enable the CPU limiter, it'll cap performance to the S8 but battery will be quite a lot better.
I can get a day or more but its no match for the Mate 10 Pro I had before
Sorry but won't post any screenshot as I have to put in charge everyday around 3 pm, unplugged at 7 am, to make sure battery will last til the end of the day =(
My previous 3 phones were S8+, Note 8 and Iphone X, all I can say is that S9+ battery life is much worse compared to the 3 of them.
Expecting an update to fix that, if it doesn't come in the next 10 days I'll return my handset.

You realise leaving it charging over night knackers the battery because it keeps trying to top up which over time puts a lot of extra wear and tear on it

Sorry if my first post was not clear : I put the phone to charge (induction) when going to bed around 1am, unplug it in the morning around 7am and have to do a complementary charge in the afternoon .
very good
The more it consumes internet over mobile data the power decreases. However, good at all

I don't want to disappoint you. But my previous phone was S8+. Unfortunately with the official update to Oreo the battery performances was a little bit worse than S9+.
Agree with the fact that with Android 7 Galaxy s8+ had a better battery life. But with Oreo... that's another story.

Bump this as some users are reporting very bad battery life while most can achieve 5-7 hours easily please participate in the poll
I have the SD variant S9+ and I'm in the very bad battery life camp.
I am also in the bad battery camp... I can get about 2-3 hours of SOT before it just craps out and I just spent 800$ on this thing. I'm ready to return it myself.
I'm on exynos and really enjoying my battery life. Anywhere between 5.5 - 7.5hrs sot depending on how I use the phone.
Rocking on 6 or 7 hours sot with all social apps, pubg mobile, Twitch, YouTube, discord.. Exynos version. Who has bad battery should move to Apple because u can't even make your android smartphone have a good battery.

This is better SOT than I've ever gotten from any smartphone I've owned. 5 hours SOT and still 38% left.

Standby time is amazing, too. 9 hours overnight used only 5%.
The battery life for this phone is good. The standby battery life is not great. I don't get a good signal at my job, so when I get in I cut off my data. With the data off, the phone is still draining battery.
However, if I'm in a good signal area or on Wi-Fi, I can get 6-7hours sot.

Horrible battery life S9 plus exynos

Hey guys,
I just got an S9 plus exynos version a week ago and the battery life is horrible with me only getting around 2-3h SOT.
Any tips on how to improve it? you can see the stats here:

Just have a look at the below videos. Unfortunately, that's how the batterylife & performance of the Exynos version is, just like mine. Unless you tweak it with so many tweaks and workarounds(search the forum, there are many tweaks if you like to consider) like many others here, there isn't much hope unless Samsung seriously considers resolving this which is unlikely.
Yes it is correct the battery life on this s9plus is pathetic,
Even on my phone the android system is taking major amount of battery ,
I tried factory resetting my phone a few times but no luck .
Waitng for an update from samsung

In a statement, Samsung indirectly said that "the bad battery life is a non-issue", so an update isn't coming soon...

There is definitely a lot of bloatware running in the background though, have you tried running KillApps?

Your Android System is particularly high at 21% compared to your SOT.
Noticed that you're on 3G, it consumes battery a lot more compared to 4G.
How's the mobile coverage at your area?
The exynos version of this phone sucks big time, I can tell the battery life is horrible Max 5 hrs SOT. I have switched to xz2 xperia and it beats Samsung hands down in every department. Batteries are amazing.

There won't be any update from Samsung for sure. I sold this terrible phone. Samsung software optimization is very poor. On my xz2 I don't do any software tweaks.

my cpu frequency is stuck at 1.79 and this is why my phone is lagging and heating and draining battery .
is there any way to check what is spiking the cpu so much ?
i checked in cpu process app and it says system server is taking the cpu .
any technical person who could help .

I thought LTE consumed more battery than 3G... The reason was a problem with the network. Fixed now so I'm back on 4G. Lets see if it makes a difference
Well love the phone but the battery is the worst I've seen so far for the price u pay. People focus o SOT time but I do the same as on my old iPhone 7 plus but with the iPhone would last from awake to bed time with one charge S9 plus 2 times at least and with though about running out all the time. Shame brilliant phone.
I'm having great battery life on my Exynos 9+. See the attached screenshot.
Only disabled Bixby and AOD.
I use Facebook, Messenger, Snapchat, WhatsApp, GPS high accuracy and sync one Gmail and one IMAP.
For testing purpose I decided to run the whole day with medium battery saver activated, but modified to only restrict the CPU and lower the brightness a bit. That means still running max. resolution and syncing in the background.
Right now the phone still has 36% battery left with:
- 18 hours 33 minutes since unplugged
- 6 hour 30 minutes SOT (That is potentially 10 hours SOT with 24 hours since unplugged!)
- 10 minutes phone call.
Besides my regular usage pattern, I've also played a game a lot on this charge.
No complaints here yet, im getting 5hrs SOT and have only done a few charge cycles so i expect that to improve.
Im getting close to what i do on my pixel 2 xl so in my eyes thats impressive

I had an Exynos S8+, and battery life on that was pretty bad, with Android System also taking up more juice than the Screen. Now I'm on a Snapdragon S9+, and dare I say battery life has almost doubled. Android System battery usage is way below Screen battery usage.
Two steps which fixed the battery drain for me :
1. Changing the Location Settings from "High Accuracy" to "Battery Saving" {You can find this in Settings -> Connections -> Location}
2. Using 2.4Ghz WiFi instead of 5Ghz WiFi channel. My Router is a Dual Band Router and somehow when I connect to the 5Ghz Channel, the battery drain is almost doubled. Sticking to the 2.4Ghz Channel improves the standby time by quite a lot.
Hope this helps.

It's router specific. It only matters if you have a DualBand Router and you opted to connect to the 5Ghz Band.

The S9+ battery life is insane, 1% over night, 8 hours
Best battery life of any phone I've owned, for sure.

Yes... The stand by time is really good on this phone... I had the phone off the charger for 8 hours and barely used it all day ( busy day at work ) and I was still at 89 Percent at the end of the day... It definitely takes a few cycles still you notice major major changes .
I have exinos and never had a worse phone regarding battery life and heating. I tried all possible solutions for increasong battery life but still I get only 3-4 hours of SOT with a total of about just 15 hours!!!
What iritates me the most is that I do not have mjch apps and all is set to sleep and everything possible but the phone still randomly gets super hot even when nothing is runing, which then drains the battery too.
The drain overnight is also bad, it is draining 1-2% per hour.
Poor battery life . Same result even after carrier sent a replacement.
cant believe that i have s9 plus exynos and battery life is really not good for me.
Battery vs Movie
Whenever I try to watch movie on my mobile. Then It takes only 30 minutes to empty battery. I don't know why this is happening to me. I spent a lot of money to buy this ****ty phone. :crying:
From iPhone 6 Plus to S9+ (battery worst?)
i have finished to migrate from iPhone 6 plus to S9 Plus (SnapDragon) but until now (only 1 day) the battery seems to be worst. i will wait for more days and search what i should to change to make the battery have a longer life. What turn off; what consumes more battery and so on.

iPhone's plus versions are better in total battery life. Used a iphone 7 plus for a year & seeing th difference. Refrain from doing anything on th SnapDragon.It would sattle itself.

LG vs BOE battery life

Few reports of battery life not as good on the BOE devices, let's try and get a better picture of what's happening.
I now have a BOE.
While I can get through a day of good usage I'm sure it was better on my first device with an LG screen.
Post power usage stats to compare LG and. BOE devices

How do you know the manufacturer of the screen?
I didn't expect their to be a difference in battery life between the two devices due to screen manufacturing. However I replaced my device with a BOE screen. This is day one for me and I will monitor and see how things end up in terms of battery life. The screen quality is much better though with the BOE

When you remove an app from the protected apps list,your phone will close the app automatically when you turn off the screen to save batterry."
Andriod noob here. I feel i have the same issue.
My last phone was a iphone x, used phone clone to transfer pictures and contacts to my new mate20pro.
Installed all the apps i needed and i instantly loved the phone, fast and so much battery life. I didnt mess with any battery settings, wifi and 4g always on, brightness auto, auto updates and highest screen res.
I was watching twitch for like 4 hours straight and used very little battery.
Unfortunatly i had a LG screen and got the green edges. So i got a new phone with BOE screen (checked with the hw app) . Transfered everything via phone clone and i instantly felt like something was wrong. I really feel like the battery is draining fast. Turned off auto updates and been messing around with the app launch settings. Just installed gsam battery monitor pro. Will post picture. Any help is welcome.

How to attach picture?
Hm, AnandTech review suggested that LG panel have high standby power use.
My new BOE Mate 20 pro has the same battery life of the previous 6 LG ones. 8hrs SOT to 10 depending on useage.
I'm still not convinced I'm getting anywhere near the same battery time.
I've got 5hrs SOT + 1hr 45 of Talk time and I'm down to 23%. Wish I had recorded either of my previous returns (LG) to compare against.

It wouldn't make so much difference..
Screen on time with 43% battery left, used GPS for 30 minutes, 20 minutes of YouTube, Slotomania game for 30 minutes. 3 short phone calls.
Pretty amazing I think.
Today's usage, been watching YouTube, and 3 hours of tv shows with Huawei video player. ?
Have you changed any settings or apps out of box? I barely got 7 hours today just browsing and YouTube with a few camera shots and 30 min talk time... Seems definitely lower than my LG screen. Oh and which resolution are you using? I'm full quad HD highest res possible.

I'm using full quad HD, vivid colours, default. All other applications are set to battery optimisation except for playstore, play services, glasswire, zetatorrents.
Everything else is pretty much standard out of the box.
Thanks and were you on Wi-Fi most the day as opposed to LTE?

Awesome, thanks. I've only had my phone a day and a half so 7 hours was still pretty good today though I was on LTE most of the day. I'm thinking it will get a little better in a day or so as everything settles in.

How can I do that?
Well, my experience is the same. I had two LG screen Mate 20 pro units and while the green glow was a nightmare, I never had any issues with battery life. I was surprised that the battery test result on GSM Arena was not good at all...
Then I got my replacement phone with BOE screen and while the screen is ok compared to the "green lantern" LG screen, it goes nowhere near the two devices I had in terms of battery life. The standby drain is enormous, screen on time only around 3-4 hours and the features most draining the battery is mobile signal and wifi and screen in hardware. I needed no optimization with my 2 LG units, while I hibernate apps here when screen off, I also switched off autosync, but still my standby drain overnight (approx. 6-7 hours) is about 12-16 per cent, which is another nightmare considering how majority of reviews boasted with super amazing battery life - and every reviewer got a Boe screen version of the phone I reckon, at least in our country. When I take it off the charger, I lose a percent every 5-7 minutes I have the screen on. I do not get it but it is a real disappointment. Today I switched off automatic 4g-3g-2g because my signal at home is rather poor, but I did not do anything with the LG unit and when I charged to 100 before I went to bed, I woke up 7 hours later with still 100...
