I have the same tablet and I can confirm that the battery life is quite bad. I am flabergasted how any who has done a 'review' on it managed to get almost 10 hours of battery.
I did a few battery rundown test with lowest and maximum brightness and I could not get more than 3-4 hours at best watching YouTube videos.
Note the XC5.0 still holds up very well here even with smaller 18650 or so cells.
I actually like this change. It's telling me the actual battery charge. What I don't like is at least on my S 8 Ultra is it hits 85%, then starts discharging the battery. The battery gets as low as 81% before charging again. Personally I think this charge / discharge cycle is going to be more harmful long term than just charging to 100% and holding there. So I ended up turning it back off.
Mine gets around 4-5 hours of SOT. I do wish the SOT was better. The screen is dim so I have to up it to about 40% screen brightness which is a bummer because my previous tab s7+ was bright enough around 30%. I am satisfied with it but it doesn't meet expectations or the "ultra" name.
I have the S8+ and haven't had any significant battery issues at all. I've even enabled that setting to prolong battery health by having the maximum battery percentage by 85%.
I noticed too, i mean, it's worse but it's not that bad, with the tab s6 I could do from 9 to 10 hours sot, sometimes even 12.
With the tab s7+ I can do 8-9 hours sot, so not that bad
A little. I've had the tablet for a couple of days only, but it seems to be around 7 or 8 hours at most. And that is with dark theme and around 25 or 40 percent brightness.
I did keep the 120hz and it's for mixed use with mostly video playback.
So far it's the worst thing about the tablet, but the rest is excellent.
Was getting similar specs as op when a few days ago it seemed to have just lost its amazing battery life.
Went from 4 days w/o charge to about 1.5 days.
Hey guys, I've had my GS7 Edge for about two weeks now and I'm only averaging a little over 4 hours of screen on time. I think I have waited enough for the phone to settle down.
I thought it was impressive nonetheless. I know a lot of people were very disappointed by the S6 & S6 Edge's battery life last generation. The S7 & S7 Edge seem to be doing exceptional.
