Yes if battery life is your main priority,. Don't use Samsung.

Samsung is good just at cameras and display nothing else.

 

[Tristan17]

Eh, the display calibration is pretty bad though

 

[enigmaamit]

I'd switch tonthe iPhone too as my next phone. Im just worried I'll lose out on a lot of functionality that Android provides, and the cost of the apple ecosystem

Man... after all these time and updates the device keeps lagging and the battery drain is horrible, I have to charge it in the middle of the day..I think this is my last Exynos device and samsung, I'll try to give apple a shot since my wife is using 13 pro max and she has 6 SOT at 60% battery which is crazy

I have great battery life on my S21 ultra.
Farawell, hope you are going to love Iphone.

It's just not comparable...Samsung specs are far superior to IP13PROMAX...So if battery life is the only thing that matters and that you can live with S10 specs then iPhone is the way forward

Low light performance is meh..

Well, I think you don't know much about iphone, do you? Spend few minutes and read about iphone multitasking then we can talk.

Expert Raw update came today. It pretty good in low light.

Again, my contention was never on the OS and I never spoke about the OS. I'm fully aware of how optimized the software is as I'm using iPhone 12...Apple has had at least 3 years of headstart from Android. My point was about the hardware specs (except for the SoC)...the most expensive iPhone today is still 2-3 years behind Android....anyways...let's just close this here...this argument will never cease...the mods @Badger50 are sharpening the knives to cut this post down...

Guys, please can you tell me what is your (average) battery percentage used for Google Play Services? I noticed that after CVDD I have seriously low screen on time (3 hours on 4G+ instead of 5 hours before) and Google Play Services around 7% battery consumption. This is when phone is discharged from 100% to 20%. Really appreciate your help. Thanks!

1% over 11 hours from 85% to 56%

Just like I thought. Draining my battery tried restart, clearing cache of the app, wiping phone cache in recovery...no luck.

Keeping reduced blur enabled, restore the original battery life of my S21.

Never had a battery life like that in previous months.

 

[adamlee2012]

I'm testing this now to see if there's an improvement. Mobile data most of the day while I've been out and about, 8 hours since unplugged and 3 hours screen time, 29% remaining

In my case the improvement is really noticeable.

100% to 15% battery over nearly 23 hours GPS drain at 4.1%

I was really hoping this would help me. Tried for 3 days and there wasn't any noticeable difference with it on or off. I get the same 5-6 hours SOT on an average per charge. I'm not saying it doesn't help anyone else, it has obviously helped you. But with my use case, it's not making any difference

 

[olafsand]

For me it helped too
I got back my estimating time 2 days + 2 hours after full charge.

 

[douglasroos]

Well, for me disabling the blur has been a game changer.
