I have also recently bought the S10+ but I'm only getting around 4 hours of battery life, turned off anything that could be causing it WiFi Calling etc.

The latest update on this phone is April apparently and there's no further updates.

Is it a UK version?

Factory reset, almost every guide will tell you that. If that doesn't fix it then you have a faulty battery.

Yes, the Exynos version.

Bit strange you're all the way back in April, was it purchased SIM Free or with a carrier?

Try taking a pic of your battery usage to see what's eating it so badly.

I also have a problem with my S10e battery, condition and capacity is all good and strange thing with mine is that with WiFi it's really good and what you would expect. Once I'm on mobile data is goes to 3 and a half hours SoT, do you have issues when on WiFi as well?

EDIT: Check how much Google Play Services is eating up of your battery, some people have been having trouble with that. If it's a lot, trying clearing the cache.

Purchased from EE through fonehouse.

Doesn't seem to be getting better:

You said 4 hours but that is closer to 24?

neoboy · 22 Aug 2019 at 23:42

He meant Screen on Time which is a general measure. It's more puzzling why the software is on April at the moment, maybe try downloading something like 'Phone Info Samsung' from play store.

CSC Code tab will tell you which country it belongs too and can check firmware while you're there. Resellers normally send you an unlocked phone without branding, I have heard stories of some sending non UK phones, maybe that's the case here?

Android 10 on S10 leaks, I have a feeling Samsung will be quick off mark with Android 10. Treble supported too since they got Treble supported on the S9 with the Pie update.

Haven't kept up, anything overly to be excited about with Android 10?

Phone INFO:

Could it be because of dual sim?, what's everyone else's SoT like with dual sim?

I've been super happy with battery life on my regular S10. Not using dual SIM, Accubattery is saying I'll get 8h 30m screen on time on average from a full charge.

And that's from an Exynos version, apparently Snapdragons are even better?

Certainly sounds like something is amiss if you're getting about half of what I'm getting. Dual SIM doesn't have that much of an effect surely?

Dual or single sim may have an effect as in the screen grab posted by Nemesis I see both mobile signals look weak? Site I work at has weak Vodafone (and EE) signal and every android phone I've had in recent years sees a lot higher battery drain at that site.

I use dual sim, Vodafone and O2, and the house I recently moved into is in a bit of a mobile black spot. I have 1 bar of 4g on both networks. I can't say I noticed any particular drain on my S10e. Is it not more when you have weak signal and your phone is constantly scanning for a closer tower?

I'd have thought so. In truth I don't know for sure. I do know my current phone and previous phones battery drains faster when signal is weak.

Tried 960fps properly for the first time today. Rather impressive.

What's impressive is the amount of free time you have to be bothered to do that in the first place... Though I guess you could be a Samsung employee these days?

I just make the best use of what I have lol

If you really must know, I was listening to music very loudly this morning whilst editing photos and as the sun shone through the blinds and hit one of the speakers, I noticed how much the driver cone was moving. Like all video/photo ideas that happen on the spot in my mind, this was a perfect opportunity to try out slow motion :cool:

Tephnos · 26 Aug 2019 at 17:25

You ever fix the busted one?

BananaDunka · 26 Aug 2019 at 17:28

Busted? Just a couple of dents, that is the one pictured but not yet as it's not a priority as sound isn't affected
