I think small phones are for the people,
whose average screen on time won't go more than 3 hours.
who are not in to games.
who mostly use it for call, WhatsApp [nowadays it is almost for work purpose], some social media, few pics and videos, few bank apps, some podcast and few YouTube videos.
who has easy access to charging points.
Don't try anything for first week; let the battery settle. Being an android phone, it will drain some battery even when it is on table sitting idle. Then start trying different methods according to your preferences and then you can extract 1-1.5 hours more screen time.
Protect battery should be on at least for first year and half, so it will serve optimizing the battery at full capacity [you can think like you are using 3120 mAh] . After one and half year [when battery is going to degrade, think that it has degraded around 15 percentages], then forget about protecting battery and charge to full [which again comes to somewhere 3100-3200], so for at least 2.5-3 years you will get almost same screen on time; when you charge the mobile.
And for screen, adaptive brightness should be on during day time and after 7 pm, dim the screen should be on.
I use routines and modes, and during night time / at secure locations like home and office, when you can use Wi-Fi, auto switch off the data; on the Wi-Fi calling, dim the screen brightness, set the location off; and you can prolong the battery time. Everything is automated, anyone can learn from YouTube.
I watch general YouTube videos at HD resolution on mobiles, unless specific videos related to my learning process [which I watch at FHD or QHD]. Movies from last 10-15 years, I watch them on FHD, older movies are mostly at HD resolution. It is of no use to see QHD resolution videos on that tiny screen.
I am not in much favor of reducing the screen refresh rate. Because one should enjoy the phone too.
On a long day when I know I can be outside for some more time, I start my day with 100 % and top up for 20-30 minutes around 2-3 pm when having lunch.
I am long term Samsung user; almost from the era of Note 4 except 2-3 years in between when I have switched to Pixel and iPhone.
so I learned things by trial and error as well as from YouTube videos.
Thanks.

After few days, One UI 6.1 ruined my entire experience!
Until now, it worked perfectly fine and almost 0 bugs.
Now... It's just pure pain, it lags, the animation when trying to open an app simply does not work sometimes and it kicks me out of an app instantly making some weird bug, i can cause this bug at any time on purpose.
I hate the new animations, trying to look like HyperOS and it actually does.
Not to mention that notifications are ruined (especially when using icons), AOD doesn't have manual brightness anymore, fingerprint sometimes does not even work only when i tap it again.
I don't know what Samsung has done but this update took month off and they didn't make it stable enough, i'll simply switch to another brand if this doesn't get fixed soon.

Anonymous, 30 Mar 2024UI 6.1 battery drain fastily.. Alas It drained for me after the first charging cycle. Wipe cache of the most commonly used apps, unless you want to do factory reset. Check your deep sleeping apps, restart the phone - good to go. After this, the phone last me a comfortable two days, again.

I really dislike what they did with one ui 6.1, the blur when closing apps disappeared and looks cheap now. AI thing is not that impressive as they talk about, so far the worst update i had.
Also this version brought new bugs too.
