For instance, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a similar battery capacity as s 21 FE but extremely better endurance. Apple generally has better management of background apps than Samsung. Apple's iOS operating system is designed to be more efficient than Samsung's Android operating system. This means that iOS uses less battery power and RAM, which gives it more resources to manage background apps. Apple has more control over the apps that are available in the App Store. This means that Apple can ensure that all apps are optimized for iOS and that they follow Apple's guidelines for background app activity!

The mentioned is causing battery drainage. Android by itself has a problem because many apps are working in the background, especially when the RAM plus feature is on. Also, there is a pretty bright display... People expect too much of batteries not taking into account those factors and blame poor battery.

        BlinG-BlinG, 01 Nov 2023Funny how people complain how their phone is getting slower... moreHow to do hard* reset,?

          Strange!! My old SD S20FE version still gets prompt updates & it already got October patch update but my SD S21FE version is still on August update in India. Has anyone from India, updated it's Snapdragon(SD) version of S21FE to October patch? If not then it's a problem from Samsung's side.

            AnonD-1090716, 31 Oct 2023Qualcomm issues.makes sense because 888 and e2100 drains and overheats. same goes to 2200 and 8 gen 1. samsung fabrication is just garbage. i guess you must be disappointed after you see the s23 because there are no exystove😏😏

              Funny how people complain how their phone is getting slower after a few years...it is to be expected after hundred of application messing with the system over the years. Just like with a PC. Make a hard reset and you will get a phone as good as new...backup the files, but not the applications that will need to be reinstalled from scratch to have a clean installation.

                  Anonymous, 30 Oct 2023Use %85 battery saver then I'm using the Battery protection feature. The device and battery have aged well. This meets my expectations. It's not snappy now as expected but it does the job well.

                    Anonymous, 30 Oct 2023%50 high I tried … adaptive lowers it so no need eye comfort it becomes too dark for me, so the screen can be brighter with warmer colours. It works for me to ease eye strain for long watching and saves battery. Blue colours have higher energy than warmer colours, so Eye Comfort Shield, which reduces blue lights, has its benefits for battery saving and reducing eye strain. People forget that every high brightness screen of phone, laptop, etc. is causing eye strain. They mostly blame low PWM for eye strain, but only the damaged units will cause visible flickering. Fabric PWM of 240 Hz can not be visible by human eyes.

The only thing I have learnt is acceptance of a device's capabilities and the general wear and tear of components over time. Thanks for sharing your experience though.

A9 and A71 retrospectively. Mid range phones and after close to 4 years the users do not complain :). Especially I control the child's phone. I do not see a problem with the phone's battery, and he plays the games a lot. Also,je is installing and uninstalling games often and no problem with software, even though the phone lost Samsung's support. I am pretty satisfied with Samsung.

Upgraded to S21 FE 5G and the first thing I did out of the box is to create a Modes and Routine shortcut to switch 5G off as I live in an area with very poor network reception. I switch it on or off based on my usage and I haven't seen any issue with Battery backup OR unusual drain. It's very odd to use this and then state comparison with iPhone 14 Pro Max too! I mean this and a true Apple flagship to compare with different OS? I'm not sure if there is actually an Android suited to your usage so Apple will serve you good. No point getting a 15 Pro Max and your 14 Pro Max is good for a lot more years.

Firstly, one should turn off the RAM plus feature. Also, because the display is pretty bright, one should use it at 50 % of brightness level as well as with Eye Comfort Shield not just for battery handling, but also to ease the eye strain because of the brightness for the long watching. By customization, one should put the unused apps in deep sleep mode. These are normal things to do for every Android phone. I have been using this phone for about ten months, and there are no issues with WiFi stability also. Because of the fact that Samsung is giving good value for the money, I choose not the iPhone Pro Max but the Z fold side.

I loved the design and captured my heart to it but I am very skeptical to samsung phones due to issues of battery and WiFi connection stability. I am using iphone 14 Pro and now ipho e 15 Pro and being an Apple user for a decade now I strongly advice you to stick to it if u want a stable performance and battery health for a long period of use. And the support on its software and security is phenomenal. I still have my iphone 4s and my 6s & 6s plus for Moretaine 7 yrs. And I still get the latest software update for the model. Eventhough its expensive but its worth the money you have
