TLDR; Your battery will deteriorate FASTER if you always charge overnight than someone who doesn't have the same habit.

That"s Inaccurate. Did you read the article? It says only bad if at 100% for prolonged period.

Trickle charging is perfectly OK. I charge using a 1A charger. Ngam ngam when wake up then 100%. Sometimes a bit less.

I rarely charge over night since I'm using fast charging on my note 8

I always keep the battery percentage usually around 20% to 80%

So far battery still no issue.

It's pointless to argue which charging method is the best.

Just use whatever charger you like, charge whenever you need to. Don't be a slave for your phone.

All you need is a change of habit. Instead of charging overnight. Charge it when you wake up and before leaving the house, which could be 30 to 45 minutes. Plenty of time to charge sufficient battery power.

Of course no fast rule. If you know you will be out of the house for a long time that day, just charge it overnight to 100%.

It does provide some info, true but benchmark result may not really transform into real world performance

In F1 plenty of team managers accused race simulators/wind tunnel result did not produce similar result during race
*
Well, I did not say it transform into real world performance. I just said that you can use the results as an additional knowledge for you to be applied in real world scenarios. Benchmark result can transform into a real world performance if the benchmark itself is flawless and accurate to real world usage, the possibility is there just not there yet on smartphone space. Imagine they put clips of heavy team fights occur in Mobile Legend and it is used as the GPU benchmark, how ironic would that be, definitely can transform into real world performance, sort of. Or maybe Genshin Impact instead, since this game is the talk of the town when it comes to performance testing

It just means that those so call race simulators is far from perfect and requires more tweaking lol.

One simulator that can be fully used and applied on real world would be the Flight Simulator (not the one came with computer program only but I'm talking the one built with proper hardware that can simulate physics and you feel just like the real thing, you know how prepilot take SIM test before becoming a real pilot). Of course I have to put disclaimer here, no simulator can exactly have 100% accuracy to mimic real world scenarios no matter how good it is, you can get close enough as simulator is build when someone experience that in real life, so if one never experience such mishap before, the simulator cannot reproduce such incident as it was not written to produce such result since it did not happen before. The best part is it will improve over time as people discover/learn new information about it.

If that is the case only God can create the perfect simulator rolleyes.gif

Also have you seen this video? The future of Racing Simulators, it is not ready yet but maybe by this year it should.

The current simulator


Damn anybody here can guide me how to properly embed YouTube videos in LYN forum?

I have never said that benchmarking app represent actual usage. Benchmarking app is created to mimic real world usage to test performance but you should never rely too much or put a lot of importance on it. It is just another tool to measure a standard reference point of view of how it compared to another device but never to judge the experience you use on a single device. You already understand that so I don't need to explain further.

I would not say little improvement, it is a massive improvement compared to Exynos 990 in terms of CPU performance and energy efficiency. The only inferior part is the GPU which still uses Mali GPU. You need to know that Exynos is an SoC not just one system component. SoC includes the CPU, GPU, AI, DSP, ISP and also the modem(4G, 5G signal receiver and etc). The only part it cannot keep up to Snapdragon is the GPU part where SD uses Adreno GPU. You need to get this fact right 1st. Wait for next flagship that comes with AMD GPU, then we can start bashing whether Exynos is truly trash or wonderful SoC.

Your statement can be applied on Exynos 990 as it was truly an awful chip. It lose in all aspect to Snapdragon whether in CPU/GPU performance, battery life and picture quality computation by ISP was a massive letdown.
If you still insist this year Exynos has little improvement, then you have a problem with yourself, being blinded by the facts with lots of hatred.

My take on this issue. I see different reviewer will say different thing about the same phone. Some say battery good and some say no good. So for me, I read and I make my own decision.

Take the N20 and N20U as an example.
Some reviewer says both similar battery life. Some reviewer says N20 has 1 extra SOT. My own decision, I believe N20 will last longer because it has lower screen resolution and refresh rate. I could be right or I could be wrong.

Fast charging supposed to kill your battery faster.
Well means over night trickle charge will be even less issus.

There is no proof that fast charging will shorten the lifespan of batteries. However heat would. Your battery will deteriorate after going through certain amount of charges but the general rule of thumb for lithium ion batteries is that it is best kept at between 30% to 80% charge.

Which is why on my previous long post I said that take reviewers review as just a guideline or a standard reference point. You should do your own homework and test it again yourself and see if it matches the reviewers claim. Because there are too many configuration that affects battery life, no single reviewer can test all those aspect.

So you did make a right choice, to digest reviewers info and still make your own decision whether it is worth it or not. If only Samsung allows you to use your phone as trial for at least one week, then at least you can compare yourself between different models before you made the final purchase decision.

Samsung offers free 3-day trial of Galaxy S21
You will also be rewarded with free gifts after the trial period is over. Too bad only in South Korea, I wish Malaysia have this too.

Anyone bought S21 instead of plus and ultra? Does it lose out a lot in term of batt life, screen and camera?

Eye on the S21 or ip12 as now i prefer smaller screen after use note9 for almost 3 years

I have the S21. Based on what I am seeing on reviews and comparisons, S21 is about 90 to 120 minutes less SOT from S21+ and about 60 minutes to 90 mins for the Ultra.

I've tried from a full charge to about 5% battery on my S21, with Power Saver enabled and 120 FPS, SOT is around 7 hours max. Can't make it go any higher than that. Without power saver it is only 30 mins less.

Install Accubattery from the Playstore. Let it run in the background for a couple of days of normal use and charge and it will give you an estimate of your battery health.

Note the word estimate.
