Guys I have been using the Indian variant of the Note 8 for 1 month now. I never used to get more than 4.5 hrs SOT in a typical day where mostly i work on LTE. Browsing Social Media Youtube and around 1.5hrs of normal voice calls.

I have worked around a few tricks in recent days and i got SOT of over 6 hrs and still 20% left.

1. Uninstalled FB app. Using FB through Sams7ng Internet and have left a short cut to homescreen. The only thing you will miss from FB app is auto play of videos. (Not very important to me). The experience is still great on browser.

2. In device maintenance>Battery>Always Sleeping Apps: I have added all apps that give me unnecessary notifications like Jio Paytm Flipkart etc.

3. Using greenify free version unrooted mode. All the apps in Step 2 are marked here also. All accessibility permissions granted.

4. One of the most important things I never thought it will make so much difference. Manual brightness. It helps a lot. It takes some getting used to adjust manually, but its worth it.

5. Using medium Power saving mode only for the CPU Limiter. My resolution is QHD+ and Aod is off.

6. Developer mode> All animations to 0.5x.

7. Using dark theme also.

Try these above steps report here. for me 6hrs SOT makes a big lot of difference and Im not comprimisng in my user experience also.

Restart your phone once in 2 days.
