Don't think so. I tried adaptive with and without power saver, the SOT I get is almost identical.
But if you turn on power saver without the adaptive refresh rate then yeah it does save a bit of battery. I get about an additional hour of SOT.
Edit: I should add since I don't play games, I don't think I'm pushing the CPU/GPU to the limit so the most power drain I am getting is from the screen itself. Thats probably why I don't notice any difference.
Yea.... Question ... How to test if "Power Saver Mode" really cut off the CPU hit max?

I guess you can enable GPU watch in the developers options.
Then play a heavy game with power saver on and off and see if your FPS is the same in the first 5 mins when the phone is at a cooled state. With power saver enabled, you should be seeing lower performance.

Thanks.. I tested out playing a game. The CPU % and GPU % .. No different. I even installed "CPU Throttling Test" to check CPU Max Mhz... No different as well. I would say "Power Saving Mode" on s21 Ultra is cacat. Not working.
Are you referring to the bluetooth function of Note's S Pen like waving the pen to control the camera? If yes, I read the pen for S21 doesn't have that function. So there is no charging. Correct me if i am wrong
Haven't charge my phone since yesterday morning...😄 Light use, just waze abit, FB abit, WA abit and IG abit.. Oh, I have my Galaxy Watch connected for the past days as well...

Hi all this is just my limited experience, I have been playing around the phone with wireless charging and wired charging. I feel the battery is stronger at least from 100% to 90% after a wired charge vs wireless charge. Last longer for the first 10% at least for wired charging.
Seems like the crackling sound is coming out from my top earpiece. Can anyone of you with S21U (maybe other variants also can try) open this youtube and listen at higher volume (no need max) and let me know if you hear any hissing or crackling voice when he explained things? p/s Dolby atmos on with auto mode.
Not sure how and where I can get a replacement if my earpiece is really broken, can i just go to the service center at 1 Utama?

Definitely an issue with your earpiece speaker. I have encountered a similar issue as yours with sound crackling at high volume after I request for screen replacement for my S10. The earpiece speaker was working fine before replacement. After they have changed the screen, I noticed the sound crackling when it play certain bass notes at high volume. The earpiece speaker was not changed because I noticed there is still dust accumulation from my previous usage, so I assume they fiddled and mess up the internal wiring that drive the speaker unit. I send it back to service center to let them check. They did the replacement again FOC this time due to the fact they configure it wrongly. So in the end I get a brand new screen replacement with the earpiece speaker change as well.
