S20 FE exynos battery

[Michal S]

Hello, did anyone see improvements to battery life of exynos 990 or have we just been scammed? Can I return this phone in warranty? Its 5 months old. 

I'm still getting 3.5 hours of SOT max with every function like 120hz , always on etc off, I don't use any power draining apps, nor play any games. Set my phone to factory default and still no change.

Anyways, what is the reason to have 120hz, always on display or high performance, when I can never use these functions for battery life? Thats a scam ...

Warranty doesn't mean that you can return the device if you don't like it. The most they can do is replace the motherboard , that's it.

Don't get me wrong I like it, but with the battery its unusable. It's like having a 5 year old phone. Actulally my old S5 with Lineage OS lasts like a week on idle 😄

Well exynos 990 was notorious for its terrible performance and efficiency. Not completely blaming but next time make sure to watch reviews and battery tests before you buy a device. For now you can watch some tutorials on how to reduce battery drain. :)

Dude you're nice :) But I'm an IT guy, and I really barely use the phone, no fb or anything just Whatsapp and teams ... Tutorials won't do any good, wish it was that easy 😄
And yeah the reviews always show like 7 hours SOT vs 8 on snap. It's just a scam
With my redmi note 8 pro I did not need to turn off all apps on background or any functions. So why does Samsung treat theirs consumers worse ? Just weird

Looking at your usage scenario you can consider an iphone. Its a no nonsense platform and you won't have to deal with all these bs. The only thing that matters is whether you'll like ios or not

Good luck returning it 👍

And 3.5 hours of SOT without gaming is too low. I feel for you bro.

It's real sad, I changed from my beloved Xiaomi note 8 Pro which did like 8hours even after 2 years. Now I have barelly usable, twice as expensive phone. I checked like thousand of blogs of weird solutions where none worked.
The last one I see is to break my warranty, root the phone and disable Mongoose M5 cores.
I really start to understand the iPhone users who just don't have to care about this.
