General How's your batterylife experience with S22 Ultra coming straight from S21 Ultra?

[Virgo_Guy]

If you used the S21 Ultra as primary driver and then upgraded to the S22 Ultra, how's your experience with the S22 Ultra purely in terms of batterylife? Do share your thoughts. Thank you.

my experience, bad. In reviews, they claim that there is a 5-10% reduction, but in my opinion, it is at least 20% worse

Coming from a note 20 ultra. It has been worse. Battery drain while not using phone is ridiculous. Snapdragon 512gb. Hope a firmware fix is on its way.

Update to fix standby drain is a possibility. But what about battery drain when using?

This is my usage.....60 hz refresh rate...insta..WhatsApp...browsing...and 3 Google's accounts and one outlook in sync. I would say it's the same as s21. No real increase in battery life.

Keeping in 60Hz you used to get similar endurance with the S21U? If I'm not mistaken you got rid of S21U shortly after buying?

That is correct. I used to get similar endurance on S21 ultra. I sold it after 3 months as I wasn't happy with the camera and pro mode. Granted last year..there wasnt great smartphone cameras that were made..except 13 pro Max

it started off worse for me on the s22 ultra but has improved, i believe its slightly better now than the s21 ultra, battery life for me is like a rollercoater, some days i come out of a 10hr shift in work and ive only lost 15% and other days i lose nearly 45% so i cant explain what happens on certain days

 

[termdj]

I had the s21u and in the beginning it was the same or a bit worse on some days...Had the phone now for almost 2 weeks and compared to the s21u it's much improved. With my day to day use I could get 24 hours max on a charge with about 4 hours sot. With s22u I get with the same usage patterns at least 36 hours on a charge with 6 hours sot....There are some days of heave use with camera/video recording that it would last at the most 24 hours...This includes +- 6 hours when I sleep of idling of the phone

With such a huge difference, probably the usage pattern wasn't similar at all with the S21U or it was configured differently in settings or battery in the S21U depleted a lot I would say.

 

[termdj]

Actually the usage and setup was basically the same....for some reason my battery life was mediocre on the s21u....there were days when I got better battery life, but that didn't happen that often

 

[JazonX]

Terrible compared to the S21U

 

[Mariuszuzd]

This is my S22 ultra. My pixel 4a was better. Any recomendations what to do ? I have performed the factory reset yesterday and again google services are draining the battery.

Debloat LISTS - S22 Ultra Series

Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones. I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary...

forum.xda-developers.com

With this Combination you get at least 30% more Battery Life or even double or more.
Just don't be a Victim Noob of preinstalled Software. lol.

 

[Sen2012]

I am getting similar battery life when Im not using my Galaxy Watch4. Syncing with the watch seemed to have been killing my battery much faster. Of course I havent reconnected the watch yet for like a week already because of that. It is possible it is a coincidence that the battery life improved at the same time I got tired of wearing the watch all the time.

 

[Virgo_Guy]

So far the poll suggested that S21U had better batterylife.

 

[Virgo_Guy]

Some web reports suggest that after installing the GOS disabling update("AVC9" build) the batterylife has improved. This is not mentioned in the changelog. Take it with a pinch of salt, install the update and observe if it's actually true..

 

[Spicy Pringle]

Mine isn't bad. The pic shows 5h50m SOT with 37% battery remaining. My brightness slider is at around 33%. I've debloated a bunch of system apps with ADB and also I've used deep sleep on all apps I don't need notifications from #exynos

Could you use the phone only over 4G (No Wi-Fi) for a day and update the SOT and total runtime screenshot here (on 100 to 1% drain)? Thanks.
