Battery drain help

[Rich29583]

Hi everyone I just recently purchased a new Samsung galaxy s23 ultra after much reading online as it just looked to big but after having it for 3 days I must say I'm loving the phone my only concern I was reading loads of reviews about how great the battery was on this phone with snapdragon gen 2 etc people was reporting 7-8 hours screen on time but I'm only getting between 4-5 have wqhd on and adaptive battery can anyone suggest if this is OK or have I got a faulty phone? Many thanks 😊

I've the S23 Ultra and I also have my display set to WQHD+. Plus, I don't use WiFi but have 2 SIM cards (3 and EE) inserted for my network connections. My previous full charge got me, 9hrs and 28mins screen on time. Lasting me 1 day and 18 hours with 5% battery remaining. I put my phone on the Samsung 3 in 1 wireless charger, by the side of my bed for overnight charging. I've turned off fast charging so it's a slow charge over night.
I should point out that I only have apps installed. That are used on a regular basis. I'm not currently, on any of the social media sites. Apart from YouTube and this community.

Here's my stats

SOT depends on apps used.

Also you need to check permissions for always ON locations and background data usage.

Also if you just got the phone it might still be syncing your stuff.

Had the phone 4 days it did say learning battery patterns or usage? But that went today

[Rich29583]

Wow that's good and still 37% left 👏

This is my SOT for today. s21 ultra.
As you can see.
1 hour of gaming Vs 2 hours of streaming for similar 10% battery drain.

Seeing better results today but that's cos did some disney plus watching films I'm starting to understand a bit better now how people are getting 8 to 9 hours sot as watching films isn't as heavy as browsing Facebook all time for some reason? I still got over 30% left with nearly 7 hours sot yesterday I had just touched 7 hours and battery went completely

Also I have just turned adaptive display off today should I leave it on? I got it set about half way brightness as some time in house screen gets a little to dark for me like it a bit brighter or should I leave it on

You can leave it between 40% and 50% gives better battery life. If using indoors.
Outsides better to leave adaptive or whe. Driving.
