Battery SAMSUNG or OEM Subaru
Maybe they’ve finally fixed the Doze mode they promised? Because, from what I can tell, my battery never improved after they released One UI 7. I’ve had this phone for two years, and the battery always dropped quickly - even when it was just sitting idle. But today, for the first time since I got the device, I unplugged it in the morning and still had 50% remaining by midnight.
Of course, you can get a new battery, and I recently had a new battery 80% covered by the dealer, since this is a very well known and documented problem. (My battery was going on 6 years old, so I felt like the discount made it a good time to replace it anyways. The discount was specifically because it is a known issue, and supposedly the new battery is more powerful and “solves” the problem, per the dealer.)
I get the exact same as you with my s9fe and s9, 16h and 11h, equal screen off, 100% usage.
The s9fe's get great screen on battery time much better than s9's in my usage.
Happened to me too, the first day of usage. Weirdly, when i restarted, it dropped from 100 to 92. Then another time from 80 something to 60 something. It was probably some battery reading issue, cuz the overall runtime of 10hrs of screentime was not affected.
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.
A new battery at 10k miles.
Battery died around 50k miles.
My 2020 Outback OEM battery only lasted 3-ish years.
The OEM Subaru battery does not have a lot of reserve power.
