I just got the upgrade to 7.0 and I wanted to see how much extra battery I could get if go into 720P. After having it at that for a few days i'm not really sure if there is a difference in battery life between 720P and 1440P. Can anyone confirm if you have personally tried to go down to 1080P or 720P and notice a difference in battery life?

But why would you buy a phone with 1440P and use it on 720? No, I didn't try 720.
Enjoy the phone. If there is a difference, it's probably negligible.

if u want 720p then buy a 720p phone
Since no one is giving You serious answers...
Well. Switching to 720p should make the OS run at lowest GPU speed most of the time. So it should improve battery life. But for average user it won't give a big battery life improvement. If You're a heavy phone gamer then You might notice better battery life as games SHOULD be rendered in 720p instead of 1080p/1440p. So this way Your GPU will run at lower speeds and therefore save more battery. But I haven't done enough research on that, so that's just a theory.
But I'd say it's not worth decreasing Your image quality that much just for those 3-7% more battery. You can tweak Your kernel and get those extra % easily, while keeping 1440p.

Thanks for giving an honest answer. I'm not really going to be tweaking anything with this phone. It already flies on nougat and im not even rooted. I'll probably just leave it on 1080

I don't know about how much of extra battery life i am getting but i saw difference in charging time. I keep the phone on charging while going to work. On WQHD, the phone actually just maintains battery percent or sometimes even loses it when there are a lot of emails and texts coming in. The charging is slightly better on FHD, but on HD, it charges much faster much like the iphone i had previously.

Why would you get any more time reducing the screen when the phone is in standby? The screen isn't on then. This makes no sense.

You will not get much difference unless you play the game. As a consideration of this I give an example in 1080p. Proc and gpu work will be stable at that number and will rise if i change to 1440p. And of course will eat more battery. It could be nicer at 720p (but I do not recommend it).

Increase of battery life implies more increase of standby time than screen on time. Screen on reduces battery much faster than screen off. Makes sense?

Nope.
If the screen is not on, reducing the screen resolution makes no difference. That's what we're talking about here.

Are there any comparisons of the two cpus available on the s4 when it comes to battery life? Thats the only reason for me to try to get an exynos version if its shows to be better in that respect.
Yeah, that's a good question I want to know the answer too, there are many people having testing devices but they are too hungry about testing the damn processor and gpu instead testing properly the battery life. -_-

With wich cpu? Also no comparison to the other version mentioned here.
I'm not convinced, even with S3 you can spend all the battery juice in 3 hours if you want. To do a proper test you need to leave the device doing the same job like an Snapdragon S4 during the same time.

Octa has a longer battery life than SD600.
That's why samsung used 8 cores technology.
And by the way the 5inch HD screen saves power too for both version

Thaty what one hears, yes.
However I would like some actual test reports - for instance how long does the phone last for web browsing, for video playback and on standby?
I would like to see actual numbers.
As for the screen:
It is said to use 25% less power compared to previous amoled display generations. However that 25% value is something we have to trust samsung on I think, at least I have not seen any actual tests on power consuption of the display alone and it's probably not easy to test.
The way they have managed the display to consume less power is to use use phosphorescent instead of fluorescent green diodes, which use way less power. Until now they could not produce the green ones with an acceptable lifetime. The red ones have already been phosphorescent, and the blue one are still fluorescent since they are hardest to produce.

This. This so many times over.
So many people are parroting the "Exynos will have better battery life" thing but this really remains to be seen.
If the better battery life is in exchange for crippled A7 performance at inconvenient moments then it's useless. If better battery life isn't available for when you're using intensive apps then it's also useless.
All of you who are using not rooted stock Nexus 4,how is your battery life?What's the average screen on time that you get?Mine lasts about 3hrs+

that is ok. screen on time will differ for everyone as everyone uses their devices differently, and set up differently. battery life is dependent on how you personally use the device, how you set it up, what apps you use, and very much the quality of your phone/data signal.kernels dont give you extra battery life, no matter how often you read that or how much someone else claims.

I had a Sony Xperia Z3+ and when it was pure stock I would get 3-4 hours but that was with a disadvantage, I had to tailer myself to not game or use it heavily as it had the notorious SD810 and would easily hit 80°c while browsing and playing simple games. When a kernel came out SOT didn't improve much just user ex and heat. So yeah this 3T tops it in all my main areas sound, camera and can use it however I feel. :highfive:

I haven't done anything, using dark theme's where possible but other than that it's just my daily usage but constantly. Today been using it on YouTube, Tidal streaming, browsing and playing pinout. Sitting at 25% 6H 48M SoT. I f**king love this phone. Just wait till I root and get the tweaks back on
Did you even use your phone? I bet you just enabled so the screen doesnt turn off and placed it on desk.. Thats unfair if you did that as the cpu is running on low mhz all the time
Some people get good battery on every device and some people always get bad battery. I always get great battery on all my phones and this one is no exception. I've hit 10, 11, and 12 hours screen on time and have not done anything to save battery.

People do a lot of stuff here just to get likes xD
I get 7-8 hours sot, using my 3T as any other phone.
I used to get aswell 7-8h on the Oneplus One, constantly on WiFi (with LTE it was worse, 5h SoT). Mainly using chrome, tapatalk, flipboard. (no games).
Now on the 3T its pretty the same (7-8h SoT on WiFi).
ofc games will drain it alot more. its depending on usage.
you also get different results when ure on Enterprise WiFis (high dtim interval, authentication system, etc.), then your WiFi could consume much(!) more battery.
at my work, even 4G takes less power than WiFi. While at home, wifi takes nearly nothing (8h idle on wifi = 1-2% max. drain)

You should check your deep sleep percentagebif you are having a battery problems. Cause most of the time the s10 exynos does enter into deep sleep even while idle.
I easily get 10h+ Sot at 1440p.
I remember reading that running at fullhd+ will only give you about 30 min of extra battery life a day, I think the health of your eyes is more important, higher definition reduces eye strain and it definitely looks way better when gaming.
10 hours?
How do you manage that? I thought I was doing good with 7 or so. I have it WQHD with brightness set to just below the warning mark.
Anyways, the way I see it, if the resolution is there, I'm gonna use it. No point in having it not to use it. As long as my battery gets me through the day, which it has done easily since I got, with heavy use as well, then I'm happy.

I have very strict app management habits and whenever anything goes out of order it gets uninstalled forever.
The "worst" screenshot was taken at 17%, half the time on LTE and max brightness, the best was during a more relaxing day and ended at 3%
I'm going another full battery run today, 2h Sot and still at 88% battery so far, this time I uninstalled Nova and Sesame to see how OneUI Home stands against them.

There's negligable battery difference between FHD and WQHD+. But there is definitely a difference in visual quality.You should definitely use WQHD+.
As for those who are saying they get x hours SOT. You can't compare with others. It's different for everyone. It depends on a massive number of factors. How good a cell reception you get, brightness, what you have enabled (wifi, bluetooth, NFC etc), AOD, what apps are running, what apps you use, what you use the phone for during the day, was the phone used for long period or intermittent use.
It's silly to ry to compare or match others. Just be happy with your own use, otherwise you'll spend more time trying to get more SOT, than you will just actually using and enjoying the phone.

I guess that depends on the quality of your connection. If your reception is not very good at home your radio might be really busy getting a proper signal.

Is Bad battery...
Can't say I'm very impressed so far, I switched from a snapdragon s10 plus. Stand by battery drain was never a problem on the s10. I would finish the day with at least 50% battery left. Less than 3 hours screen time and I'm at 40%. And that's running at 60 fps, 1080p. Snapdragon was so much more efficient for me.

So far, not too impressed either, getting 5.5 hours of screen on time, with no video watching or gaming. Literally bit of instagram, whatsapp, messenger, camera and spotify. This is at 120hz FHD+.
This will honestly be my my ''normal usage'' but still having removed it from charge at 9.30am and after 12 hours on 20% is a bit sad to some point, specially after those youtube videos with 6.5 hours of screen on time playing games and and filming videos and what not... Hopefully they will get a fix for it, this is UK version with the (not so lovely) Exynos...
Coming from an LG G6 lets say battery wise Im having same performance
For me 6 hours with 120hz, that literally destroys the battery, switching back to 60hz you get 1 - 2 hours more....watching youtube is no issue, but as soon as you get to any scrolling or
multitasking it all goes away.. especially with that 120hz, also it's not very efficient in standby, you can go to sleep with 100 percent and wake up with 93 or something like that..
Hopefully they'll get an update
Not awesome battery life, if I wasn't careful I need to charge twice a day
50% left, 2h33 min screen on. I disconnected charger at 12am, woke up at 7am. Lost 5% during the night with 4g on. I was playing a lot today. Screen at 120hz
It's so unbelievable bad... Damn :/
I'm glad i.ordered the Snapdragon version
This is always the case when buying Samsung flagships early. An update comes out a few months after to address the issue.
Hmm, I have to agree with you. Upon further use, I don't think stand by drain is the issue. It seems to be more app optimisation. Have to give it some time for developers to optimise their apps for this processor.

Don't get me wrong I totally agree with you. There is even speculation that exynos doesn't get the same Sony sensors for the camera. Instead we get Samsung made one's. Totally not cool for sure. I imported a snapdragon s10 last year and it was amazing for battery life profomance. But honestly, I can fully charge this phone in just over an hour. So to say that the shorter battery life is a major problem is just not true imo.

I understand, but I haven't come even close to needing to charge the phone during the day yet. I'd say I'm losing about 10 to 15% more battery then I did on the s10 so all good for now.

In Australia. Had the china s10 I believe. Everything worked just fine. Although I believe things are a little more complicated when it comes to 5g.

Samsung Pay, VoLTE, Wi-Fi calling, Google pay... what all in these worked? - doubtful..

Yes, "usage pattern". I'm charging twice a day with the +, something that I did years back..
This is the only complaint i have so far, battery life. It is not disturbingly awful, but I usually have to charge it in the late afternoon, so I dont run out of juice in the evening (I am getting 3.5 - 4 hours of screen time). Situation is even less annoying since It charges really fast. I am running optimised battery plan, bluetooth, wifi, data on. Other than that it is a beast, I am fully enjoying android freedom over my iphone X. Battery will probably improve with updates though.
First and first full charge, 120hz all time. Let's see next days.
