This is true.

Anyway, does anyway have bad battery problems?
As soon as I got the phone off from full charge, it drops to 99% in few secs.

And the fast battery drain starts. We paid top notch dollar to get the best and still not get the Ultra feeling,

SOT of the battery is bad. 4-5 hours SOT, my previous Pixel 5 can reach 8-9 SOT no problem. Really 5000mah?

I ain't experiencing Ultra feeling with this phone. It's already 6 days in, and ain't seeing any battery optimization or adapative battery kicking in.

I'm on the latest updates.

Something is hitting the battery hard. I'm seeing many get outstanding battery life on Reddit some 1 day plus until next charge, with QHD + 120hz , mine need to charge twice a day.

If need to step down to 60hz refresh rate - turn off this and that, that's not the reason to buy an 'Ultra' phone. Better just go for the A series.

Wonder if we can return this phone, bought at Samsung Ioi city mall

Really jelly with your SOT, I still can't point where the problem lies, rogue apps? Faulty battery?

What's your configuration, All maxed out perhaps?

I'm on
QHD + 120hz
5g turned off(4g/3g/2g mode)
uninstalled smart things
Pixel AOSP theme with Hex app(to look more like Pixel)
Nova launcher prime with Google feed (left swipe)

you mean like pause? yeap if that's what you meant, seems like there's a 2nd layer of invisible screen need to tap or swipe twice to go to the "real screen"

Edited :
Anyway update on my s21 Ultra SOT seems a bit better, but i expect more. Am i asking too much for the price i pay?

5000mAh battery peeps



This battery use is yesterday, did a lot of restarts for the phone lol, testing out of disabling Facebook service(not did it brings any effect towards the battery life)

This one


and result like this

Nova Launcher


Swipe down menu :


The system menu of One UI 3, pixel like icon lol(can't get away from Pixel language design) :

Personally i cant do One UI, i cant bear the icons
For the time being,
ill try to dig in what seemed to be a problem with Nova Launcher and try to solve it

You mean the Samsung one? I did, got the brown leather one when bought together with the S21Ultra at ioi city mall,

first casing I've used, kinda nice but don't like the camera protuding metal thing, so I went with a Nillkin black woven casing

if they release the N21ultra next year, sure gonna disturb both the sales of next s22Ultra and n21ultra .

Abandon N21 ultra seems logical from business perspective.

Hope that Pixel 6XL is decent enough.

alternate fingerscanned it when setup, say, your left and right thumb

sure or not, not seeing a difference on my 21 Ultra meh

Does it somehow improves on the battery performance? I expect more
