Hang on to what you got... or buy it Now! - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review

Don't do it...
Meh, my N975U is getting over 11 hours SOT on a battery nearing replacement. The N10+ color calibration exceeds the S22U's. I'm still running Pie, no cpu cycle sucking scoped storage. Security is not an issue. My current load is over 2 yo still fast, stable with minimal maintenance and zero malware breaches. Zero display degradation, it looks and runs like it was new (always case protected). Only repair has been one replacement battery on this heavily used Note. Even the original 25w brick and cable (included) still are in use. An excellent build Q all way around.
Projected lifespan, another 2-3+ years. No SD card slot, no sale; I use my 1tb SD card as a data drive. Only apps, the dcim and download folders go on the 500gb internal memory. The cam and spen placement, suck on the S22U. Another Samsung dropped ball...
I also have a N975U1 bought new about 8 months ago* running on Android 10. I prefer the Pie variant. Until Samsung and Google Android get their sorry acts together I'm in a holding pattern for at least another 2 years. That's my plan... and it's pretty painless. The N10+ is still as good as it gets in terms of usability, functionality, form factor and it's just fun to use even after almost 3 years. It's also thinner, 30gms lighter and has a better bezel to displace ratio than the S22U.
* no regrets especially now the S22 line has been brought out into the daylight. Both Samsung and Android fouled out as I had expected. Android 13 is looking fubar as if 12 isn't bad enough.

Yeap... it's a beast that runs like a bat out of hell.
Hey I could be wrong but... I advise you to not upgrade especially to 11 or 12.
There's no roll back from 10 to 9, or from 11 to 10. You can roll back from 12 to 11.
I still consider Android 9 to be the best OS version for this device.
You be warned.
Counterpoint and more reasons to buy one today. However while he's getting 5hrs SOT, I'm getting 10 hrs. Maybe his battery is degraded (mine nearing replacement time, 12 hr SOT is typical), maybe his is not optimized or it's Android 12 working its magic.
CPU cycle sucking scoped storage is fully active on Android 11 and 12.

Thumb nail size only please...
Is this total run time or just SOT? Looks like it was sleeping for a chunk of that time.
In any event this isn't comparing apples to apples... at all.

Good News for Alpha Owners - Bigger Battery !!!

In researching the two weaknesses of the Alpha Vs. Z3 Compact I discovered
this.
http://www.expansys.ie/zoompic.aspx?i=268141
A 2500 Mah Battery and Backplate from Samsung for Alpha .
Same price as a spare Samsung smaller Battery !
Assume the Camera will be more flush to Backplate.
So what would SOT be with 2500 Mah Battery ?
Another good thing is no SD card but all Media can be backed up
and run off a USB Thumb Drive etc. apparently without loading using
USB OTG.
So the gap narrows between Z3 C and Alpha and Alpha feels really
durable, will check Z3C in Sony Store soon but unlocked Bell Canada
Alpha may be more practical for me .
let me know if u get one
I wonder how it will look. I hope they do a better job than their Qi backplate!
I'm really excited about the the bigger (thicker) battery and no more protruding camera
Google it if you want to see the back plate (I can't post any link yet)

Sorry there's only the back cover picture though, but I'm pretty sure it'll make the camera no longer protruding, although not as thick as the (ugly) wireless charging back cover
is that kit available already?
Nice battery kit!!We have any pic with the new battery case?

did anyone order this already?
I was about to order it, but I don't think making the phone bulkier (thus making a lot of phone cases useless) for 700 mah. That's not even a 50% increase...
If it were 2800 mah or 3000 or something, then I might consider it (though I can't imagine how thick(d) it would be since the battery is very skinny (w))
Either way thanks for the post, if this could get the phone to about 48 hours daily use I would consider it (i'd get about 52 hours out of my HTC when it was new but it had a less demanding screen and 2600 mah battery).
Will wait for results, currently as it stands I can barely get 24 hours out of my phone with casual gaming and websurfing. Thank god it charges extremely quickly at least
It's not released yet. But if it has 1/3th more capacity, it's save to say it will give you 1/3 more uptime.
Looking at the backplate it will be about 3 mm thicker than the original one, making the camera flush with the plate, imho it will still look nice and original.
If that is not enough there's still the "zero lemon" which is also coming to this phone.
It will give you approximately 1 hr and 20 mins of screen on time with 40% brightness and moderate use.
So i would say not bad since i'm averaging 4 hrs of screen on time + that extra mah will give me at least 5 hrs+ sot... hope they will release it soon.
I have not decided on Alpha vs Z3 C yet but this makes
one of the weaknesses a bit better on Alpha.
5 to 5.5 hours SOT sounds pretty good.
I hope the back is flush with Camera with this Kit -
Because if it still not flush I will think WTF,
room for a 2800 Mah ? Lol.
oh bee
çabuk bitiyodu pil ,iyi oldu bu batarya.
istanbulda nerden temin edicezz ?
hi m8
I just fiid on aliexpres Alpha replacement battery with 2.500 -2800mAh
are somebody used this battery before,pls shere your expiriance
link1
link2
Beware hensk, because in those implementations (cheap chinese, mass producted),
the nominal mah, is muuuch muuuch different from the...actuall
for example if nominal is 2500mah, i seriously doubt if the actuall is beyond... 2000-2100 max
Thanks for the advice м8

nice one citymen,
dunno about you guys, but i get the felling that this device
is handling energy with a very efficient way, so, even if it has a small capacity bat. its not noticeable in everyday usage

Battery heating and bulging (bloat)

My Redmi note 3 has developed a battery bloat (Bulge) and the screen has changed its flat to a curve shape. I went through some other forums about batteries and came to know that you are running a video or movie or playing a game while the phone is charging then it leads to a buildup of gas due to over heating. So its suggested that avoid usage of heavy apps on your phone while its charging (like even google maps navigation while charging) .
Can you post some pics of your curved phone....
You got a curved phone in the price of normal phone, you are lucly....
Yes thats the disadvantage of Quick Charge...
The Lipo Battery can not handle the high Charging Juice... It heats up and can blow up...
Look at Samsung etc...
Use a regular Charger... Yes it takes a few hours to Charger but it is much better for your battery, with QC lifetime is half compared to regular Charging... Think about it when buying a Phone with non removable Battery
Sorry for my Bad English
buy a new battery they are like $7 or return it under warranty if you don't want to open it, Lithium battery's are dangerous, don't charge the phone unattended since it can explode or start a fire.
IMO warranty is the choice
yeah I would return it for a replacement, xiaomi should know about this if it's a problem, remember this phone has a 4000mAh battery which is even more then the Samsung Galaxy S7s battery (3500 mAh).
https://www.classaction.com/news/exploding-galaxy-edge-s7-causes-3rd-degree-burns-man/
^ better safe then sorry
RN3P doesn't support quick charge. And what the heck... If I navigate with gmaps o nokia Here I need to charge the phone while driving.
This battery has a malfunction... One out of thousands..
But I would also like to see some pictures of the phone
If you use charger provided with the phone, it is better.
Avoid heavy games and watching HD/youtube videos for longer time while charging for safer side.
Can you please post some pictures? It must be a rare case. Never heard about this. If there is effect on screen, and phone body, as you're saying, you should contact Xiaomi, if they can do something, as battery problems come under warranty.
My redmi note 3 too have this swelling of battery within 6 months of use. I have to literally fight with the service center guys to get it submitted. One said its covered in warranty then a next guy rejected that its not. Its been around 20 days and still no reply from them. Their landline phone is never connected and they never call back. Service combination of Xiaomi and HCL is worst. Xiaomi don't provide the HCL the parts and the guy hired by HCL are worst and ill-mannered.
Day by day the battery size get bigger and bigger. The back panel and screens started getting out from the sides. Here are the images of phone due to swelling of battery.
Looks like images are not allowed for new users

If only gaming on PUBG SOT drop to 4h since the game has a drain of 25%/h
I rarely let the battery drop below 20% and charge more than 80% to limit stress on battery, and it last for a full day.
BLA-L29 156C432
Wifi, data, gps, screen rotation always ON.
Cool! There might be differenciation between the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro in terms of SOT because both the phones have a OLED and LCD Screen. I'm easily achieving 6hr 45min of SOT provided that I charge the battery up to 100 percent and a depletion now lesser than 20 percent.
Gaming vice, yes. PUBG is a CPU / GPU hogging game whereby it sucks the most out of it. Depleting battery with a higher temperature is one of the contributing factor to a sturdy battery. GPU Turbo does indeed help in terms of thermal dissipation but then no much can be done since Mate 10 doesn't have the liquid cooling technology.
Yep, I'm using only black/grey background, it can help a lot since screen is like 60% of the drain in normal use.
I forgot to say it was with auto brightness ON too.
For me the mate 10 pro is really good with this game. Best battery drain of all the coworker team when playing, including iPhone 8+, one plus 5t, mate 9, iPhone5s (that just literaly burn in 20 minutes xD). Temperature are good too, since it's just warm like 35-38°C, with higher settings after 30min of game. But I still don't have GPU turbo, dunno why, I don't have the game center app. It was said activating it drains more battery, so I don't really care, I play on Switch and PC, phone are just for little break and 30FPS are far enought for me.
I think 3-4h SOT on handeld gaming is really great, Switch and 3DS don't do far more on demanding games.
My 950XL with liquid cooling got hotter, but Snapdragon 810 had an infamous hot temper too.
It was great but after October google's security update it doesn't seem well (no idea why this happened) and now im wating for pie maybe it gets a bit better
And I use my phone a lot (3 charges a day from 40 to 80 usually) and never lets it's charge drop below 40%

XZ1 or Moto X4?

Hello all,
I am currently looking for a small phone with a headphone jack at around $200-250. The XZ1 is really tempting for $240 with flagship features but my only gripe is the battery capacity and how difficult it is to replace it later on. The moto X4 on the other hand, can be had for $200 which is around the same dimensions as the Sony and easier to have the battery replaced with some mid range specs. What in your opinion is a better value in 2019? How is your xz1 holding up so far?
Bro, to be honest I would have clearly gone again and again with the xz1. Here is their difference in detail : https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8804&idPhone2=8634#diff-*,*,*
.
Battery is always important but you get twice performance from the xz1
Also, Chipset, CPU and GPU clearly greater which is the biggest effects on the performance
For the Camera you wont regret it believe me
Battery it is 300mAh less but is clearly the winner (check the link above : Battery life XZ1= 82h endurance rating Moto X4= 64h endurance rating)
for which I can tell you without any root or any Stamina I am seeing 6 hours of screen time and it rocks from the performance.
Moreover, Xz1 was the high end phone of that period when it came out.
The above ones were the details, and I just believe that it is a decent phone for that money, no need to go with another midrange phone since their support is also good. But this is my opinion.
I picked up a brand new XZ1 about two weeks ago from amazon, and I'm floored at how fluid it is, certainly compared to the XZ I was using previously. It's running Android Pie without any obvious issues, and battery life is one and a half days easily, with seven and a half hours screen on time minimum. I paid £199.00 on Amazon, the design is stunning, and it's arguably one of the last great xperias. The only points I would flag are that the camera is competent but not exceptional, and android support will end towards September 2019, although the value for money is tremendous and criticism in the main focuses upon the bezels, which is slightly ridiculous as you can clearly see what you're buying before you commit. It's shockingly good at it's current price......

Thank you for the responses. Did you guys update to Pie? If so, how is the battery life now? I've read some user complaints about xz1c that new updates causing battery drain.
I updated to Pie immediately, so it's all I've known on this handset. At the time of writing, I've used about one third of the battery, which has delivered almost three hours' screen on time. Battery drain overnight is almost a flatline (XZ1 handset, UK firmware, February security patch)......

Question Asus Zenfone 8 Flip battery sucks

I am using my new Asus Zenfone 8 Flip the second day. I am disappointed. I use it normally as all my other phones, a bit of videos, a bit of photos, browsing youtube. Half a day battery is flat. The screen was 60 Hz. Battery settings: Optical/Dynamic. Double checked if there is any draining app - nothing found.
All my other phones would work at least three-four times longer (and I had very good phones!). I am disappointed. It is not worth the price.
Battery is fine for me, not worse than op7 before. Although I charge only up to 90%.
But in total, I'm not that happy either - the fingerprint sensor kills it off for me.

After using Xiaomi Mi Max 1, then Mi Max 2 and Mi Max 3 with their unkillable batteries that can work 2 or even 3 days in a row, I wonder how even people pay that money for phones that hardly survive by the end of the day.
Fingerprint sensor sucks too. Indeed.
Has anyone noticed that if you listen music from Spotify or youtube in background with an adapter and you open a game (not an app, only game) the music quality Will lower extremely? It Is really annoying
it shouldn't... powerusage seems quite average.

Why don't you just take a Bugreport and upload it here: https://bathist.ef.lc/
Then you would know why battery life sucks

You may press a bit when setup but to unlock you just need to put/touch a little and sensor will scan your fingertips. Easy to unlock

Cannot Check again, I swapped back to op7.
Now, half a year later I am on op9pro ;-)
I just got the 8 Flip and I was also expecting it could last over 24h on my non gaming use.
I installed GSam, Naptime and Greenify to try to save some battery, but I'm still struggling to save battery.
Disable 5G? Just got the phone. first thing I did.. I don't give a f... about 5g..
