Yup. I agree with this

The sad truth, this even happens even on the most expensive one. S21U

And yeah. Dual sim does affect the battery life.

I was wondering. Only a tiny part of the screen are lighted up with AOD. So why would it use much power?

Hi guys, may I know any local seller which selling S21 Ultra Snapdragon unit. Plan to buy today. Thanks

even reset FP also can't detect?

any good spigen thin casing for s21+?

Sadly, low light vid recording still crappy as hell. Isnt really worth 5k of premium price we pay for s21u

Hopefully, samsung release faster update to it

Which phone has the best low light video quality?

worth to upgrade from note 20 ultra?

your note 20 ultra got "focus enhancer" after upgraded to oneui 3.1?

Yeah. S21u here too on 2 sim. Was practically pully my hair out due to battery life. so paraniod of running out of juice...plug in 2 or 3 times a day. Home, car and office. Turn off aod and am now resisting the urge to plug in as battery life is much better!
Too bad tho..cuz really liked aod! Haha

basically whole screen is ON.
Only the tiny part with info is ON with bright color.
Just like dark mode.

it is still a phone, cannot compare to camcorder or DSLR.

I think the problem is not dual sim. Or rather Samsung S21 needs more battery to search for the optimum network when you compare to other phone. Samsung assumes our network strength is as good Korea. Unfortunately not the case. I am comparing it with Huawei of course.

I guess because the phone cannot enter deep sleep mode.

Nop, I enable the touch sensitivity and restart my phone also cannot....

iPhone 12 Pro Max maybe? Because of its larger sensor size which can absorb more lights and Apple's strength in videography.

I have a N20 and I would concur. I have been playing around and think Samsung's screen is pretty efficient. For example, it only takes about 5 - 7% battery to get an hour of youtube or surfing. But the standby time is bad and that's likely due to the network reception. The signal bars strength is poor.

Wiping my S21U down just now and realised camera bump had a hairline crack running across periscope lens!

Luckily I had a Spigen TG camera bump protector on.. whew! Money well spent.

Disable 5G on S21 or the phone would constantly search for the 5G signal and drain battery faster.


Been using X-One Liquid Defender + pre-installed screen protector since day one. Hell, the whole phone is a smudge attractor.

I often put my phone with casing on on the table, the back is uneven and it's driving me crazy. But I wish to get a camera lens protector.
Is the Spigen camera protector bump work with casing on?

Yes Spigen camera bump protector works with Samsung cases, UAG and Nilkin Camera Shield case. Worth the money.

Haha finally the sucky telco crack is exposed

We cant blame the weak samsung exynos battery anymore
