Anyone owning a s20 fe 5g can advise how long does the battery last for a new device for casual users?

Just changed to this model and I feel the battery life of this new phone is even worse than my 2 year old huawei.

A fully charged battery can’t even last > 20 hours with casual usage (no games, no video streaming etc)

New phone, first few days usually bad battery life. Let it learn your usage pattern and it will adjust.
Mine very casual usage can last 1 1/2 day before needing a full quick charge. Casual usage on FB, IG, Youtube, WhatsApp, WeChat. No gaming...yet.
Remember upgrade to 25W quick charge (not the 15W charger that came with the box) so charge faster and don't leave it overnight.
I lose about +-5% battery from overnight...and I can charge in my car(20W), in office(25W), at home(25W), so I don't need to worry.

Will test out when I go to site office and see how the battery usage is like.

BTW, I have the S20 FE 5G Navy color smile.gif

After 1 month of so with S20FE 5G, so far happy with it, camera, screen sharpness all good, no lag so far.
Battery will drop 5-6% overnight, no longer need to charging overnight as have fast charge in office, in car, and at home.
While taking it to site office, experience battery usage significantly because remote area, signal weak, probably phone too busy trying to hook on fastest available mobile signal.
But still managed 1 full day of usage without charging as in 7am - 11pm/12am.

One of the days need to tether on mobile hotspot to get online file transfer and download update files for 1 hr.

Last pic was mainly on travelling between back to KL

Yesterday didn't bother to charge it at night, came to office only start charging after 10am+ by then was down to 29%

Usage wise didn't use much on calls etc, just some light FBing while waiting/killing time in between, some whatsapp reply to customers yesterday.
So with consistent good signal available, battery usage is not noticeable unless you're gaming.
While offsite where signal is at best at 1 bar H+ and E, then battery usage is significant to try to constantly capture the best mobile signal available. By night already down to 20%+-.
I could off the mobile signal while offsite to conserve battery and only on while in area where good signal strength is available.

Mine used to be like that too. Started a few weeks back. Restart and it would work again. Now my screen has this constant horizontal flickering lines when it decides to work.

When the screen is turned off for a period of time, the screen would turn all white with the green horizontal lines and would become totally unusable. I found out the screen would become usable again with the flickering lines when you wait for like 1-2 min lol
S20+ . I thought mine got like this because I dropped my phone from time to time but a lot of people seemed to experienced this so yeah definitely Samsung's hardware fault.
Anyways, the service centre quoted me RM943 for replacement. So yeah. Be careful with your units guys. Mine is the first batch I think since I pre ordered it
