Just return your phone. There's nothing wrong with it but at least we wouldn't have to read your conspiratorial rants and fantasy expectations.

Could you elaborate more? Have you disabled some apps ?
What about Bixby or another power sawing options?
Only thing disable from phone settings are bloatware i don't use, have brightness at 90%, lots of texting , browsing, use Google Plus a lot, and Telegram and XDA Labs and sometimes some YouTube, mainly hardcore on mms, Telegram and Google Plus, few phone calls nothing else! Here's what i got so far now at 50% Battery life!

See my comment in the battery life thread in the other section. Hoping you can help me get even better than the 7hrs I'm getting now.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
I get between 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 everyday. Depending on what I do. I have never gotten under 5 1/2 of SOT. Best phone I have ever had. Just wish it was 3.0 QC.
Quick update I had to factory reset and man I love this phone now. After reseting battery life has improved a LOT. Before the factory reset I was chaging my phone to 100% unplging it going to sleep when I woke up it was already at 92% that drove me crazy by the time I was getting 2 hours screen on time phone was at less then 50% battery. Now after factory reset re install all my apps. Updated them through playstore. Updated all Samsung apps through Samsung apps store. downloaded bk disabler disable same apps as before. Install a theme through Samsung app store. install subtratum to theme the rest of Google apps. I been browsing internet for a while. Full screen resolution screen brightness between 25 to 50. I'm at 72% now with 2 hours and 20 minutes SOT. A big improvement over before. Oh by the way u have the unlocked version.
UPDATE: iPhone is at 5% Now and i have 6 hours 30 minutes SOT. LOVE this improved battery life after factory reset

There's a post here the said something about the dex app that if it was disable it would make battery worstJesus Christ! This battery sucks i can't even get 24hrs like some ppl with 8hrs of screen on time, i fight so hard to get 8hrs of screen on time, my htc m8 used to get 8hrs easily on FHD+ I'm on fhd+ and can only get 6hrs bro wtf, something is definitely draining my battery i have Wi-Fi completely off all day and it still manages to drain my defective battery.

I'm on U.S. t-mobile note 8, i find know how you guys get 6 or more hours soft, and still have more than 15-18 hours left on the battery. I've had the phone for 2 weeks only. Any suggestions? Should i have it changed to a newer one? Or factory reset?
I have 3 email sync every hour, weather now sync every 1 hour, Facebook every hour(uninstalled trying out metal), hd widgets every hour sync. I play games but usually a total of 3hrs sir. Turned off edge panels/lighting and aod, resolution at wqhd+, brightness at around 55%, Wi-Fi on unless I leave the house, Bluetooth on, location on, iris scanner on but I'm turning it off now. Blue light filter scheduled at night time only. I browse online, eBay app, 3-6 calls, sms a few, mms rarely.

That game is killing you. Even with all that stuff your SOT is not bad at all and you still have 30 something % left? You will get 6 1/2hrs of OST with that.
I rly don't understand how ppl get 1 hour sot and still have 50%. Imo they disable the sh*t out of they phone or got a lucky device ? 6-7 hour sot is max what I get. But everything is on.
I guess I am just a different person but I don't even see the point of screen on times above 5 hours. Nice to have but waaaaay down on the list. Most people sleep 7-8 hours a day. That leaves 16-17 left in the day.
Do you really look at your phone for 33% of your life?!
Also, these are personal, but I would imagine everyone typically has opportunities to charge your phone during the day. For me, I have the drive to work and the drive home from work. If I really wanted to charge both ways, I could start the day at 8AM at 100% and "restart" the day at 5PM at 90ish% from charging on my way home. I can then also charge my phone any time I'm at home. I can charge my phone while I am sleeping. And for those who work at a desk or at home, there are wireless chargers that you don't even have to think about using because it is so simple.
What in the world are people doing to actually NEED 5 hrs of screen on time in a day without charging? haha.

Some people are never happy. The next generation of phones will probably get 10hrs of OST and those same people will be complaining about not getting 15 hours of OST.
