S21 ultra Battery life QHD@120hz [EXYNOS]

[_Jonno]

I want to know what battery capacity shows up in settings and what charge counter shows up on AIDA64 when fully charged. 

If anybody is interested in helping me find out what capacity your S21 utra, I want to know if my phone's battery is faulty. 

I don't think Aida is entirely accurate on showing current charge of the battery in mah but my device reports 4512mah when fully charged which is a decent amount off compared to the designed capacity and minimum design battery capacity (settings shows 4885mah min) Anybody would like to attach screenshots like the ones attached for comparison? 

Id like to ask what your battery life is like on the S21 ultra with QHD@120HZ When using the phone normally I loose 7 from 100 in about 20 mins Im not a power user I only use it for social media and content consumption. 

On my way to work which is an hour or so, music play back screen off I go from 100 to 85 in an hour of me getting to work from home. Using the galaxy buds pro. My s10e would have the same drain on the same journey so is tht bad? 

My S21 ultra last around the same time as my s10e if not slightly better, People are getting 10 Hours screen on time I'm only getting a fraction is my device faulty. Brightness always 1/4 bright, Bluetooth off NFC off data off when not in use. Etc

Not really a heavy gamer so I don't have too much battery drain from gaming, couple hours of medium to light games maybe. Most power is used on watching media, YouTube, streaming etc.

It's been investigated over at Anandtech and just like the Note 20 series, the power savings and adaptive refresh only kick in when your ambient brightness levels are over 40LUX.

what is your screen on time usually!

This was mine yesterday, decided to take a screenshot so I could check after the latest update!
Usually around 7 hours on a full charge though, charging every 2nd day.

Interesting I only just noticed that it's showing chrome using 10% of my battery... I don't even use chrome! 🤣

in a whole day of Minimal to moderate use I get 3/4 hours havent kept the phone for 24 hours as by 16 hours it's already 29 percent I don't know if I have a faulty phone I end up loosing 1% percent battery every 3 mins from full then it settles but I don't get more than half hour every 10% when asleep the phone takes up 3-4 percent in 7/8 hours of being asleep but with data and WiFi enabled. but I don't think mobile data drains any battery while WiFi is connected

[Mightyblues78]

Sounds like you've either got something running in the background or a duff battery. I have my AoD set to turn off from 11pm until 8am but I only lose maybe 5% max over the entire night, which is pretty good really.

sleep battery usage is fine imo 3/4 percent per 7 hours but it's just the appalling battery life with 4 hours screen on time on a 14 hour ish day and it's already down to 20 which sucks

if I use my phone non stop I can get 8/9 hours screen in time but I don't want to be doing that to see if my battery is any good

 this is the battery life I get after a full charge, should I be satisfied with this? Or is this still disappointing?
