S23 battery life estimation limit 4d 4h?

[ruuvvi]

I'm starting to think that there is a fixed limit on battery life estimation of S23 Ultra. The limit is 4d 4h. Not once it has gone over it during last months. Anybody else has got any higher estimation?

It really depends on usage and what you have installed.
Vampire apps can eat batteries, looking for WiFi and bt signals can also have an impact on the battery.
Dark mode and extra dim helps as well as turning off the adaptive brightness and set it to a level that suits.
4 days is very impressive battery life.

As above. If you have flight mode on and barely use the screen, it'll be longer. If you play lots of games, stream on data, take lots of photos and get lots of notifications, it'll be less.

The estimate will get better as the phone works out how you use your phone. I guess it's similar to an ETA when using a Maps app. ETA is based on an average speed, but it'll go up or down depending on your driving.

I know that 4d 4h is a good battery life. My point here is that is there some fixed limit of 4d 4h on battery life estimation algorithm or is somebody getting bigger numbers on estimation?

It's for sure not fixed and it's likely someone does have slightly higher.

@ruuvvi  as other have mentioned Battery Life will depend on usage/habits and optimisation techniques.  However your Battery life seems impressive, do you use your Device regularly?   of course users have different needs but personally I would not think it would be worthwhile to own such a Device if it was not being utilised much.

I'd say it is fixed, my tab s7 used to always say 2 days 2 hours, since a recent update it now says 4 days 4 hours.

I have a Samsung Galaxy A14 and currently an A12.

Even if it is mentioned differently in the user manual, in my experience the battery life is not estimated anywhere near correctly and always seems to refer to the fictitious 4 days.

Example:

-A12 battery was loaded to 100% >6 days ago, battery level 50%, remaining 2 days?
-A14 Battery loses 1-2% per Day, 100%, remaining 4 days remaining?
-A14 Battery loses 8-10 % per Day, 100%, remaining 4 days remaining?

In my observation, the calculation/estimation absolutely doesn't work. I actually get >10 days battery life, depending on the situation 40 days. This is actually possible, although another problem makes achieving these runtimes very difficult.
