Never imagined the battery to be that bad. 4 hours SOT max, phone last barely 7 hours in total. Have to charge at least twice a day. And this, just normal whatsapp use. Advanced user, no applicable background apps running, dark mode etc.
Seriously Samsung?

I just bought mine from Amazon at discount of £430 from £699, so if you can find a deal lower than 500 I would recommend, otherwise I think your S10 Lite will last for one more year or wait until you find the lower discounts

1. Does Exynos version get hot? I'm not a gamer, but I use mobile data and share it with my laptop. My usage is web browsing, streaming, and taking photos.
2. have you experienced the refresh rate bug? Or any other thing annoying?
3. What's your Screen on time?
thanks

SaintHero, 31 Mar 2022I have the following options, which should I go for? S21 F... moreTry xiaomi 11t pro and Realme GT (considering the low price for 256gb/12gb) both have super fast charging options with chargers in the box that make Samsung look bad. Secondary cameras are better on the Samsung the rest of the specs are similar excluding the UI.

I recently bought this phone . I read a lot of comments about poor battery life but for me its been pretty good i get a full day out of it so and I'm on my phone alot but i geuss other people use it even more than me . Speaker are acceptable, camera is really good in its price point (both selfue and front cameras) , good processor, great screen with good colors and brightness . The bad thing is the back is plastic which doesn't really bother because the s21 was like that and also its going to be in a case most of the time but your mileage may vary . The things that do bother me are these: optical fingerprint sensor instead of a faster , more secure ultrasonic and the second thing is that the phone has the exynos 2100 which is good but not as good as the sd 888. The performance is good enough but what's bad is that most apps and games run better and are optimised for snapdragon chipsets but I do live in the middle East so exynos the only option I have . Hope you found this helpfull

Anonymous, 15 Mar 2022Very disappointed. 2 days old and phone would not charge. T... moreThe problem with the charging could be you are charging from a small charger "1Amp" or any regular charger for the small smartphones. which doesn't have the power to charge that device. I found on a similar problem with my, P30 the phone didn't charge the whole night and the next morning it's low power or flat. Until I used the one that was made for the phone an with an output of 5V/2.5mp 4.5V/5Amp super charge. No problems there after for 2 years and some months. now just recently the cable is an issue and I can't get an fast charging cable anywhere.
So issues could be : not Original cable and or the right size charger.

I got this S21 FE (Snapdragon 888) 2 weeks ago, as an upgrade to the A42 5G midranger (Snapdragon 750). I have since gone back to the A42 5G and here's why.
Battery life is a huge issue on the S21 FE. I'm having to charge it throughout the day, and keep it topped up as it drains just on standby. A problem the A42 5G didn't have. The S21 FE is a powerful smartphone, but what's the point in all that power and the amazing cameras when there's no charge in the phone? I don't want to be carrying around a charger or power bank. I want my phone to last me the day using the battery that's in it!
The S21 FE is a downgrade from the S20 FE, which I've also owned. Sure, the chipset is newer but that only goes against it as it must be a reason for the battery draining so fast. S21 FE also has no memory card slot. I thought I could deal with that but on the 128GB base model it's just not enough for me. May be alright for some, but not for me. S20 FE has a larger screen, memory card slot and much better battery life, all pros compared to the S21 FE. Same cameras, same battery. Basically, everything is the same apart from SD card slot, screen size and battery life, yet S20 FE wins!
Anyway, I'll just continue to use A42 5G with 144 hour endurance rating. Cameras are decent, fast processor, memory card slot, big battery, big screen, etc. It's not a flagship but at least I'll have some power in it by bedtime!
