S21 ultra SOT

[GoanGeek]

I seem to be getting a stable SOT of around the 5-6 hours every day now. Which equates to around a days usage.

I am on the latest September update. 

I use light mode 

Adaptive refresh, Bluetooth watch, 5g and wqhd with auto brightness. 

50% brightness while gaming Cod mobile. 

The phone also feels amazingly smooth and buttery. Especially in scrolling apps like twitter X which were janky before. 

I did download the games launcher and games plugin and feel it has helped. 

How are you guys doing for SOT on this almost 3 years to be phone soon?

That is brilliant for that age. My s23 ultra does 10 hours usually however it's only 4 months old and my usage is youtube, texting, members & Internet. I use adaptive refresh WQHD & dark mode comes on at night time.

10 hours SOT is mad. I do have offline find on both Google and Samsung with smart tag as well, so not sure if the battery takes a hit because of that as well.

My Google services is around 3 % - 4% if out and about.

Yea mine is less on 5G but at home on WiFi I get the magic 10

With my S23 Ultra, according to battery usage on OneUI 6.0, I've used 71% battery with 9h 31m SoT. At first, I figured much of the information was unintuitive. However, after reading how it collates the data, it's actually a lot easier to understand the battery effectiveness per charge.

Data is collated each day and only SoT is collected when off charge as well as battery usage. Also unlike previous OneUI, battery stats isn't reset when you charge your device back to 100%. So it's basically calculating pure battery % use (off charge) against SoT each day.

As for my S21 Ultra, I still get great battery life with great performance. I'm just waiting for OneUI 6 so I can do a better comparison.
