Briefly. But standby drain is already horrendous on exynos. This makes it twice as bad.
They patched the battery whereas it was 20% worse than SN in general - they just need to patch for standby drain and we are good to go!
Can you give an example? Battery was my biggest complaint coming from my XS Max
I've been loving mine, and it gets all sorts of usage. The battery drain really hasn't been an issue.
Me and my partner both have S10+ and get 2+ days out of them easily. Mine is mixed usage - light gaming, FB & Messenger, IG, web browsing, music in the gym and lots of YouTube. Hers is basically the same and she probably has a little less usage and more standby.

Couldn't easily link the picture directly or I'm being thick, but 1Day 15hrs since last charge, 5+hrs screen time and 14hrs remaining at 33% battery.
We're also both using the Always On Edge for notifications around the punch hole, love it! Not quite holey as asked above but both have this and works great, minimal battery usage.

I would have to agree, I was regularly reaching for the charger before the end of the day with my S10 and now making it through the day with a bit to spare.

I’m getting 2 days out of the battery on the S10. I’m down to 18% now but that’s after 2 days off work so more usage. I also got some Jabra Elite 65t’s today and very impressed.
How?! Honestly it's 1 day top for me

hmm, I would try Samsung's launcher first. Nova was ok back in the TW days but I'm liking Samsung's software recently.
I use Gboard too rather than Swiftkey.
Yeah certainly no more than 1 day. The main problem for me is that the signal is borderline at work and I guess the radio drains the battery trying to keep a lock. At home with full signal the standby drain is a lot less. As said though, the new update has improved it a lot. Used to be down to 15-20% by the time I got home, now it's closer to 40% so I can use it the rest of the evening without having to put it on charge just to make it til bed time.

You just use the phone less as it's no longer a new toy tbh
I never get much longer than a day either.
Nah I use it the same every day pretty much, it's not been a new toy for a good while now.
I'm glad the battery life is improved now because tbh one of the main reasons behind buying it was because the battery on my s7 was becoming irritatingly poor, and it turned out the s10 was even worse. At least now it's on par or slightly better.

You've definitely seen the same as me since the update then. Last night I was at 15% before I went on charge after being out for a bit with notoriously bad reception at the football. I'm glad it's improved as it was only slightly better than the P3 in that regard which was extremely poor in that regard.

For me it's the drain when using data instead of wifi. Absolutely eats through it!
I've got the Snapdragon model of the S10. I was hoping that with the larger battery and more power-efficient SOC, it'd do about the same as my OP6 for endurance. However, the battery life is unfortunately worse than the OP6 so far. I can get 6 hours SOT at a push on mostly wifi, but think 4 hours with mixed use (cell and wifi). Disappointing, but I guess I've only had it for five days, so things might improve.
Thinking of grabbing an S10+ since the battery is so much larger, but it'd probably be an Exynos model which is a shame. Wish I'd got the bigger one when I was in HK!
