Exynos 2400 on Cellular data

[Sabclips]

I have written many times about how awful exynos is on cellular data. However all these times it relates to my use when I am in the house and for some reason I can't use WiFi. For comparison, it has being giving me about 45 mins for every 1% drop (which i believe isnt good for a flagship). And SoT of 3-5 mins for every 1%. The WiFi on the other hand has been giving me 70-75mins standby for every 1% drop and SoT of about 7-9mins per every 1%. Recently though, I spent several hours outside home and decided to take the S24 plus with me, and boy!!! was I shocked. The phone could barely manage 30mins for every 1% drop whiles on standby. I have never seen anything as terrible. Am I being over-dramatic or this another moment of exyno-inferior

Hey @Sabclips 

This situation obviously has stirred your interest and concerns , so no your not being over dramatic. 

Personally with my Samsung Galaxy s²⁴ Ultra I'm happy as long as I get a days usage with some change left in the battery 🔋

I appreciate my phone has the Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC inside. 

There are many help tips on the forum that may help and some also via a Google Search. 

If you perform a forum search you may find existing threads with some further help or guidence within.  

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

Yes ! You are being overdramatic 🤭.

I have has the S21 ultra since preorder and never had issues that most people were moaning about the exynos s2100 at that time.

My current S24 ultra snapdragon gives similar battery life when my S21 ultra was newer.

Maybe a bit better battery life as is newer chip and better optimisation from 4 years ago.

SOT is subjective to apps used.

Why don't you just enjoy the phone you uy instead of trying to measure all these details by %.

Unless you are getting paid to do it 😏

Just chill and enjoy your phone.

@GoanGeek. I am not comparing apples to oranges. I don't see the point about SoT being subjective because my app usage is fairly consistent. It's not like I am comparing my usage with another person. And if you have read any of my posts, I am not saying Exynos is terrible in all regards. I am actually impressed when it's on WiFi. The issue is the night and day difference between the cellular data and WiFi connection. I don't expect it to have the same figures, but to have more than 2x the SoT and standby on WiFi compared to cellular data is rather unusual.

@Sabclips  Experiences may vary but I have not had a real issue with Exynos Devices  and the performance relative to Snapdragon has improved in recent years, abeit not at the same level.

How strong is your |Mobile signal as if it is it weak will drain more Battery, you may to check the location permission for some Apps.  Some other optimisation techniques here though may mnot wish to use all of them for the best experience.  https://www.androidpolice.com/samsung-galaxy-s24-improve-battery-life/ 

you could try Resetting the Network connections,General Management-Reser-Reset Mobile Networks.

If issue still pressing an idea to send an Error Report it can also be advantageous to send an Error Report,, Samsung Members-Support-Send Feedback-Error Reports-Power/Charging/Battery. Include a description of the issue and be sure to include the system logs.

I am not shy to admit that perhaps I was a bit rushed, especially on strong cellular data use on the latest one UI update. Everything i said was true, except that I decided to continue the test. To begin, I was getting 3-5 mins for every 1% drop on cellular prior to the latest one UI 6.1.1.
Below is what happened

1. Charged to 80% and disconnected phone at about 9 am
2. The phone was used for 27 minutes ( SoT) on WiFi only
3. Went out at 2 pm and turned off WiFi, and used only cellular data
4. Got back about 3:30pm. and decided to use the phone exclusively on cellular data

About 24 hours after last charged, this is the stats

Charged to 80%
SoT: 5 hours 23mins
Screen off time: 18 hours 15 minutes
Battery after experiment: 22%

Lesson and observations: Cellular data use (SoT and off-screen time) is almost as efficient as WiFi on a strong network on the latest update

Standby drain while on the move is less than half that on WiFi and cellular data at home (75 min vs 30 mins per 1% drop)
PS: 4G no 5G
