Has anyone else had issues with the battery life with the S21? I've had the phone less than a week and found myself needing to charge it twice a day when compared to the A70/A71 battery, which only needed to be charged once every 1-2 days
It's started showing how long until the battery dies but originally said Learning Usage Patterns. I thought after this period had ended, the battery would return to normal but hasn't.
Normally I charge it at night and it's less than 20% and during the afternoon when it gets to around 15%.
I find when it gets to 7%, it says it has over an hour left but really lasts less than half an hour
I do use YouTube quite a bit during the day but I'm using it the same way as I did with the A70 and A71 and that never needed charging during the middle of the day. I was wondering if the battery for S21 was worse than the A70/A71 although I was under the impression that the S Series is supposed to be better
Typically I spend a lot of the day playing YouTube videos on and off in the background but I used to do this with the A70 and A71 and didn't have these issues. In fact I briefly had the A12 and used it the same way and despite that phone's shortcomings, the battery was never an issue. I also find just scrolling Twitter the morning with this phone, I lose about 5% in 15 mins
I have, turned off adaptive brightness and put it to a low setting. Tbh I'm starting to think the S21 is a joke of a phone with its awful battery life and my partner put it face down on a table and the screen as a couple of very noticeable scratches on it!
