Phones usually take a while to bed in, for the battery life to steady, but the Note 9 was depleting at a rapid rate. It was worrying. A couple of days later though and things had levelled out. On a lighter, weekend day I went until about 1pm the following day without needing to charge. These are good results, but ones I would expect. Where the Galaxy Note 9 seems to lose lots of battery is during intensive tasks. General browsing, phone calls, messaging are all well handled.
The strong battery-saving modes also help to stretch it out further, if need be. Samsung has also been consistent in rolling out monthly security patches, at least to the flagship smartphones.
It also gives peace of mind where critical vulnerabilities will be fixed. Now, Google has already released the Android 11 Developer Beta with the final version expected in August end or early September. It will be interesting to see if the software upgrades this time will be even faster. Though, the in-box charger comes with 25W capacity. It takes close to minutes to fully charge the smartphone battery. In terms of battery life, I have consistently got a full day worth juice, with some charge still left at the end of the day.
But this will vary based on individual usage. In my case, the Bluetooth is on all the time, as my Galaxy Watch is always connected to it. Also, I listen to music, binge watch, and talk to friends on Discord while gaming , all of which averages out to three hours.
This is the time when the TWS earbuds are connected. Besides, I am highly active on WhatsApp and Twitter, and apps like Feedly scrolling through news and more. With all this usage, the battery can go a full day without any hiccups, giving a screen time of close to five hours. One interesting bit I found in the One UI 2 custom skin is the ability to detect apps that I have not used in a long time and disable them. So even though I have like over apps on the phone, the most used ones do not hog unnecessary battery in the background.
I think this is a nifty addition for battery optimization. I only need Swarm when I go to places so I can check-in. In the case of Licious, I just need it when ordering food, whereas MyJio, I only need to when recharging my phone number. Putting them to sleep means the apps will not wake up until I open it, and so the unwanted notifications will also stay away. Battery optimizations in One UI offers perfect balance between powerful performance and efficiency. Now, while the above parts that I talked about are key indicators to gauge the long-term performance, let me shift focus to other important stuff.
These combine to deliver a fantastic photography experience, and the camera is particularly good in its automatic mode. Another camera feature is called AR Doodle. This enables you to write over the top of moving images. It works in a similar way to filters on Instagram or Snapchat with their augmented reality tech, but this is instead designed so you can create your own images using the S-Pen.
We found this to work well for selfie shots and it gave a satisfactory picture for you to upload to your social media. Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. View all. Variable refresh rate on Auto. The Galaxy Note 20 scored almost exactly the same result as the Note 20 Ultra at 60Hz, which is actually quite good. Especially given the smaller battery. But then again, the screen of the Note 20 is a tad smaller too 6. No smooth Hz browsing experience involved, though.
Samsung phones traditionally are among the best phones when it comes to YouTube video streaming battery life. Interestingly, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra breaks the tradition with a rather uninspiring result.
