Haha. Very hard to compare without getting to Android vs iOS.
To me the XR is definitely out. The display alone is far behind, to charge such a price.

The best is to keep the charge at 40% and store it in the freezer. It will minimize the depletion.

On LTE or WiFi?

All single-cam image output is a 2D output. Basically, all face recognition using the same tech has the same issue.

Not sure you guys are aware or not. The S10/+ fingerprint scanner makes the phone to wake up (to show the fingerprint logo) when we touch the screen even though we turn off AOD and double tap to wake. The issue is, I suspect it's waking up we put the phone inside pocket. The pocket is thin and the screen is touching the leg. Each time I took out without touching the screen, it is showing the fingerprint logo. That's a wakelock disaster when we walk a lot.

Found it. Thanks!

I still have lol. What's the average price there?

BTW today full office day with dual SIM, one weak signal...the battery performance sucks. S10 here. Charged to 92%. 2K resolution. Adaptive power saving.


FYI a common day like this, P20 Pro still have 66% left.

P20 Pro has 20% more battery but way older chipset. Even if I included the 20% extra, the P20 pro still has way better battery management.

Another thing I noticed is how the P20 pro battery is consistent. It never made me think which app or setting breaking the power consumption.

That article is a lie!
Up till now, WhatsApp in Android doesn't restore backup from iOS server and vice versa. You need transfer the decrypted backup from iOS to a local database and copy it to the Android. That's why need third party backup software.

It doesn't work that way. Read above.

Not sure when did they last updated the site. From my experience, the earlier EMUI (P10 era) and MIUI were too aggressive and crap in handling intended backup tasks. But EMUi had improved tremendously. I didn't have background tasks issues with the P20 Pro. It had other issues but not really the reason why the battery life is strong.

What kind of SOT r u getting?

Not bad at all man. Can last a day with heavy usage. Do u use FHD+ or QHD resolution? Did u setup the Bixby?

That's the point. Their reason is to amplify the acoustic wave transferred via solid material.

They said Samsung will contact us.

10 tabs? My desktop has at least 40 tabs. What's the issue?

That's why I don't understand why people like clear case or shinny surface case. It's not grippy at all.
I prefer silicone case. Dust magnet but our phone is rated IP68. I just simply use water to clear the dust.

Mostly WiFi or LTE?

Mine is opposite lol. Stopped learning, and battery consumption gone south.
Now I just put most of the apps I don't use to "restrict background usage". See what happen next.

My S10 with flight mode on but with WiFi on. Drained 8% for 8 hours of sleep.

Did you sign in Samsung acc and setup Bixby?

Nah. Have to investigate. lol

WiFi?

What you mean you need small keyboard? The keyboard size can be changed.

I just uninstalled Samsung Pay, set one SIM to Edge (due to weak LTE signal) and set to FHD+. It seems to improve my standby drain. Not sure which setting though, although I suspect is not the resolution because the phone was sleeping.



Not slippery? Clear case.

I don't have M20 Pro. But I have P20 Pro, Sony XZ2, and OP5T. All could last longer than S10 easily lol.

Better get rid of that. I actually dropped my phone twice d. Once from waist height. But luckily nothing happened. Not even a single scratch.
It's slippery as soap.

There are two possibilities:
1) A reboot without clearing the cache might have fixed your battery draining issue. Have you tried it before clearing the cache?
2) Or clearing the cache really did solve your issue. In that case, it will be reflected immediately. No need to wait for the next charge cycle.

I already received but missed the phone call from Samsung.

Which model u order?

I had tested P20 Pro and S10 night mode side by side. The difference is stark. :/

Go to developer option and change the smallest width to slightly larger value. Becareful though, it will change every rendered item size. After reboot it will reset back to default value you set in display.

S10.

I see.

But then, in Pro mode, f/1.5 and slow shutter speed, low light output is not bad at all. It's just that it's not high dynamic range like image-stacking night mode. I haven't do a proper comparison but I think S10's OIS seems to be better. It's just that I don't see how it can get same DxOmark score as P20 pro lol.

Location off? Including WiFi scanning?

Earlier, I had similar battery consumption (~9% drop) during 8-hour sleep. My settings are: Aeroplane mode but with WiFi turned on.

After a brief test, I have managed to get lesser sleep consumption. It only dropped 5% overnight. And I got much better WiFi SOT after doing the following yesterday:
1) Location OFF
2) Uninstalled Samsung Pay (this read this
3) Switch to FHD+

I will observe more today.

Did you have Samsung Pay set up? And Location ON?

For me, I'm very curious what is the issue that causing it to drain so much. I will find that task...and then I will kill it.

A bug: We can't switch to the previous app by swipe right if we disable the gesture hints.

This is weird. Probably is because of scaling? I don't have S8 beside me but I don't remember my S10 looks worse in any app.

Impossible for S10E to last that long I guess. With WiFi maybe it's possible.

Wow. Not sure what's his settings. Mostly ok WiFi though.

P20 Pro was launched at RM3299 with weak free gifts but a lot of people took advantage of vouchers. This round not so much vouchers anymore. So it's interesting what price they going to put.

3100mAh.
BTW my ex-XZ2 had similar battery capacity. It could last 8 hours of SOT easily with WiFi lol.

OK. So today with the settings above, the battery draining seems to have improved significantly. I didn't play PUBG for 30 mins like that day but I have 28% more battery capacity than that day.
That day's battery:



Today's battery:


Tomorrow will clear cache and see if it improves!

Actually I noticed the main issue with the finger print scanner is the size of the sensor is too small. Had it been 10% wider, it would have solve a lot of issues. Now I'm comfortable with it. Memory muscles have kicked in.

So now you want to stop all of us to discuss about battery? Is that the rule imposed here?

I'm fine if you guys declared it. But it just reflects your mentality.
