Dunno.
Maybe can ask Samsung about that.
But that A8 Star does look like an iPhone X from the back.
Damn ugly weh.

So after all the fuss, we still need charge battery 2 times a day =.=

Metallic Copper here signing in

I also noticed the battery performance not that different from my Note 8. Very similar, quite weird as the battery difference 3300 vs 4000.

Now thinking if I should reformat & start again from scratch...

Yep.
So cannot expect much from here huh?
Anyway will upload the battery stats later.
Ald charged my phone to full.

That is what I noticed also.
It seems the new Exynos proc is quite a battery guzzler on mobile data when compared with my old Note8.
My Note8 on full mobile data can last till night around 8 pm with less than 15% battery life.

wow impressive. what kind of sync you have there?

my Note 8 only 12 hours with 5 hours SOT

but after uninstalled facebook twitter instagram

i got 15-18 hours with email sync but no more social apps

No SNS app == no life!

i read somewhere that you can use facebook ot twitter mobile but no sync la

so your battery lihe will be great

they said facebook the biggest culprit draining battery fast

my without all those sync and i most of the time wifi only, cause i hardly use this phone.

a single sim always impressive...mine is dual sime..SOT roughly 5.5 hrs

anyone getting the galaxy smart watch soon ????

Actually all my sync options are on all the time (that's the main purpose of having SMART phone 😉)
Here is most used apps for today +30 min call on WhatsApp
P. S: when I took this screenshot, SOT is around 7 hours and 13%of battery remained

I also using other brand UV Glue TG 5D but after few day , corner of the TG slowly "open", dont know how to explain, changed 2nd pcs already
Do you have any idea why like that ？

Probably ur glue quality not good or the TG glass is not curved exactly to the phone screen edge curvature hence the glass slowly lifting over time

Hows ur pubg bro? Hows ur setting? Went phone gets hot, frames rate started to drop lol

very very very sensitive
let it dry for a while ...

Yeah, I agree. In terms of standby drain, the Note 9 seems pretty similar to the S9+ and Note 8 in terms of battery drain rate although it has a bigger capacity battery. In usage I'm sure it can achieve a higher SOT if you're constantly using it or watching a video. Either the processor or the UI is sucking up juice during standby, and that's a bit disappointing.
