Anonymous, 28 Oct 2023There is no issue with the battery on this or other Samsung... moreFor curiosity, I did what you have said and tested my battery of this phone.
Here are the numbers:
Screen on time: 4h and 10 min.
Screen off time: 16h and 22 min.
Complete endurance from 100% to 5% of battery capacity is 20h and 32min.
The WiFi was always on, and mostly during the day the mobile data. Face recognition and fingerprint unlock were also on. I played the game Asphalt 8 @ high frame rate and @ best visual quality for 1h and 20 min during the day. The phone is 10 months old. Charging always to 100%. Overall I am satisfied.

Anonymous, 01 Nov 2023By battery endurance, one can see one of the reasons why Ap... moreYes. Specific problem with S21 fe is also when you choose 120Hz refresh rate, it plays videos at 120Hz screen refresh rate, so it discharges battery faster.
"We usually carry out our video test at 60Hz, as most phones, no matter the chosen refresh rate, stream/play videos at 60Hz. It's not the case on the Galaxy S21 FE, though. If you have opted for 120Hz, videos are always shown at a 120Hz refresh rate. We carried our video test again at 120Hz, and it dropped by 2 and a half hours. This brought the final endurance rating down to 88 hours."
Samsung's fault.

Kaarbhaari, 06 Nov 2023Strictly for light users: I have been using this phone (... moreCheck if it was labelled "Samsung Certified Re-Newed" because Samsung does sell refurbished phones on their website. If it was not the case, you should complain to Samsung. The battery endurance is just too low.

Strictly for light users:
I have been using this phone (S21 FE) since last 20 days. Bought Snapdragon version directly from Samsung website instead Flipkart. Got 256 GB version for 32K-INR($385/EUR 360).
The phone without battery saver mode, gives close to 2.5 hours of screen on time for just web browsing, Insta, Twitter, WhatsApp, occasional YouTube etc.
I have tried most ways mentioned at various forums to improve battery life.
Added most apps to Sleep mode/Deep sleep mode, yet it gives close to just 3 hours of screen on time. But then what's the point of having such beautiful screen with 120 Hz locked at 60 Hz, CPU locked at 80% and Mobile network restricted to only 4G in power saving mode.
Never faced such battery drain issue at this extent with other brands earlier.
The Samsung power adapter (25W) takes close to 50 mins to charge from 15% to 85% which I would say is average.
Not sure if battery life would improve with coming updates. (Still on Aug security patch)
Kinda disappointed with phone.
