SAMSUNG LAUNCHER or NOVA LAUNCHER?

I personally feel Nova Launcher is more effective, useful, customizable, easy to use, and makes me feel good. Take a look at the screen shots below.

Nova launcher is highly customisable.

What are you thoughts about this?

It's good I have been using it since so many years, however, it drains battery on my s23 so I had to uninstall it. 🫣

Premium segment phones from any brand will never have a great battery capacity. It's mostly below 5000Mah

It's not about battery life it's specific issue with Nova/Microsoft launchers. Usually I am getting 7+ hrs of SOT and I am good WRT battery performance. It's about launcher draining excessive battery. So after almost 5 years I had to uninstall it sadly, moreover, I have bought premium Nova but now of no use. Let's see if it becomes better with next android version then I may switch back to it. 🤞

Yes, that's the point! I have a secondary phone, a Samsung Galaxy M51, which has a 7,000mAh battery. That phone never dies. In fact, any mid-range or budget phone will have the best battery capacity. But for a premium segment phone, the limit has always been up to 5,000mAh. But there is a huge difference between Samsung/Apple and other Android brands, where they provide superfast charging, while Samsung and Apple are limited to 40W and below. Any launcher available on the app store is 99% battery effective. Even without a launcher, a premium phone will never last more than four to five hours of screen-on time if we are heavy users.

You are right but that's not I am referring to. I am getting good backup with small battery even sometimes around 8 hrs SOT. What I meant is Nova launcher isn't efficient with s23 somehow. I have used it with Xiaomi mi A1 then OnePlus 7T and it was working fine with those phones. But with s23 it drains battery unusually high for me so I removed it.

Have you used Microsoft launcher?

[nikihboy]

Yes, I have used many launchers, and I was satisfied only with Nova Launcher. That's because it offers more efficient features, no promotion, and it basically has every feature that we need.

I have used both nove launcher prime & microsoft launcher, but animations on one ui launcher are much smoother than both of them
