It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S10e before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Exynos S10E, Nova launcher, bixby off, dark theme, stupid apps disabled/uninstalled, looking about 6-7 hours SOT!

Playing movies and stuff will get a lot more out as well, screen is a battery sipper. CPU is a bit intense so turn on the "Medium power savings" option to down the cpu to 70%, you'll get SD845 performance which is still good, and a solid bit more battery too!

Is it very slight? I'm trying to go slowly from lowest to highest brightness and can't see it, maybe a sliiiight purple but mostly white..It stays white.. I'm comparing to an iPhone and the screen is a bit different in color temperature but not extremely purple or anything.

Its very slight only and as soon as u let slider go, screen comes to normalcy.
Its like flickering effect. Happens for friction of second whike increasin brughtness slowly.

Very poor battery life

Samsung Galaxy S10E is javing very very poor battery life.
I got this device two days back. I charged it to 100% and started listening songs on Gaana.
Battery drained from 94% to 4% in 6 hours.
Gaan used 69% of battery in this time period. I diddo anything else other than listening to songs. I had LG G7 Thinq earlier. That phone used go drain max 30-40% durinf this period despite having lesser battery.

I am utterly disappointed with battery life.
Also, can anybody guide me on how to add screenshot here?

I have the SD version. My first full day of use (noting that it will take time to "settle") was pretty good! It was off the charger 3am-10pm. I plugged it back in when it hit 6%. Managed to reach 5H10M SOT, which wasn't bad - it also included 1.5 hours of gaming (Langrisser, which drains battery), Chrome, Reddit, Hangouts, etc.

Since then I have enabled Medium power savings mode and am hoping for slightly improved battery life and SOT as a result today. I already use dark theme and keep brightness around 30%. I also installed Naptime today which I hope will help further improve battery.

5 hours SOT at 15%-20%, but I have to turn on power saving when I'm at 30%-40%, battery life is not impressive it's just ok.

I feel standby time sucks a little bit, yesterday I was losing like 1% every 30 min with power saving on.

P.s.: I have one UI without any launcher and just time/temperature, notes and google calwndar widget in my home screen.

2nd p.s.: I have noticed that the s10e handles well with apps that are power consuming like Maps, Waze or Youtube.

Battery life is a joke on mine, maximum SOT I would get is 3 hours and my use is not even heavy, mostly on instagram and snapchat.

Night mode on
Nova
Goodlock
Bixby off
Google assistant hot word is off as well, I thought it has a hit on battery but it doesn't.

Battery usage is useless as well, it does not show what drains the battery, well it shows "Android system" as the second one after "Screen".

wich settings you set to get this battery stats? did you set performance or saving mode?
Everything default. (Feb software)
I have updated to the latest software update(March) yesterday.
Will post results soon, but early results suggest the processor is very fast, and battery consumption is a tad higher.
We will see.
