Any S21+ or owners got any feedback on battery life? I changed from my S9 to iPhone 11 mainly due to the Amazing battery life compared to my S9. (6-8 hours Sot ) it trounces my wife’s S20 and her daughters Note 20 Ultra.
Can’t decide between a 12pro max or S21+ or Ultra. The only thing stopping me going back is battery life concerns.

I currently have both the S21U and the iPhone 12PM and the battery life are the same. Samsung have really stepped it up in the battery department.

Have you had your gaming unleashed txt yet to claim the gaming controller and your 12 months Xbox ultimate gaming pass

Interesting results with the exynos chip pegging Snapdragon even in GPU benchmarks.

Has there been updates?

7ish hours SoT with 20-30% left at the end of the day, battery life is mega.

It's the second I've had since getting mine last Tuesday direct from Samsung. Turned on and updated and then this one.

Just had my Samsung recycle pack arrive

ntemples1 · 8 Feb 2021 at 12:57

This is really interesting SD vs Exynos

ntemples1 · 8 Feb 2021 at 12:57

also on a side note i've just updated my phone with the latest update and it seems a lot smoother and faster to me

Yeah, the downside of having contract phones I guess. The slow release of updates!

Nope my contract doesnt have the "smart benefits". Didnt see the point in paying more for something i wont use.
