sorry buddy, don't get the connection with the photo's? regarding battery life I'm not sure how you ended up with half a days life, might be worth looking at how you optimize settings slightly as mine is awesome.

iPhone 11 pro max = 3969mah battery

S20 Ultra = 5000mah

look at the edge display blue line
my note as only got 4500mah don't last very long

[wardy94lee]

mine is getting super hot 🔥

[Mike_P]

sorry misread but still more than Apple ;-).
the blue line is worrying and I'd consider calling the support team for advice.
Regarding getting hot - open settings and go to Device care. see what background apps are running. that little app is pretty useful.

Hi all.

An iPhone has it's iOS written by Apple and is only available on idevices.

A Samsung phone uses Android which is written for many different phones with Samsung putting its own One Ui Skin on it.

Android is open source so many different variables come into play due to the vast amount of customisation that can be accomplished on the phone.

iOS isn't open source with very little customisation being available on an iPhone unless the iPhone is jailbroken.

Hence due to the severe way Apple sandbox their hardware and software and work pretty much how they want them to work pretty much everything is controlled by Apple. This keeps everything strictly optimised.

Customisation can affect battery life and optimisation so comparing the two phones is night and day imo.

I agree the Exynos version of the N20 Ultra can take a hit with battery.

Battery life is a subjective topic as we all use our phone's differently and customise them differently.

When I had the Exynos version it got me through a day with my personal usage habits.

My N20 Ultra SSnapdragon easily gets me through a day too.

The way Apple want their devices to work is that a person can pick up any iPhone and be familiar it straightaway.

Heck at least Samsung didn't throttle their phones via their software like Apple did so more iPhone's could be updated to the newest iOS update

I'm glad to see your Network is looking after you.

I wish you all the best with this situation.
