S21 Ultra battery opinion

[JonnyBonz]

Hello I have read many users concerned about their battery life and drain in the S21 Ultra. I have attached a screen shot of mine... is this a good outcome? I understand its a new phone and there will be teething issues and software updates. I currently have AUB6 on version and there is a new one waiting to install.. . Dare I install it?? And can you revert back to the the one once its installed? Thanks 😊

It's the ultra wide band scanner, I think it's mostly linked with Smart Things. It can be linked with things like the Smart Tags Samsung released (although the UWB version is the Pro tag which isn't the free gift one they sent out on offer).

Personally I haven't had any issues with it, nor have I had any before except maybe very low light camera scenarios. I'd recommend updating, but if you're not having any issues at the moment, it may be safer to stay for now.

that's what I've got the free one that come with device. I'll delete smart things

Try using accubattery. Once installed, make sure to grant it app access so it can monitor your other apps usage. it gives a better, more detailed and accurate view of which apps are draining your battery as opposed to the one shown on the phone. Should be easier to help pinpoint what's killing your battery.

that's my screen off drain 🤬🤬🤬

Ouch that really isn't good. If you go down to your discharging list, see which apps are sucking up the most juice.

Side note, interesting to see YouTube doesn't even break into my top list.

it's better now. uninstalled Naptime and galaxy max Hz. not sure which was the culprit.

Nice, good to see you got it sorted

I think my screen off drain is better than yours now 😛
