Yes I'm on day 2 off owning it , and right out the gate the battery feels improved over the z fold 3 , hopefully it continues as it learns my usage patterns .
Phone is impressive but it's ridiculous that even in power saving mode the battery drains when you're just listening to music with all background apps closed and the phone is burning your leg.
My concern is how the battery health will be after about a year with the device. My s8+ was great and consistent, though my Note 20 Ultra.. not so much. I would get 6-7 hours SOT for the first few months, then it decreased to 4-5.
Same thing here lol. Initially thought it was because I installed a bunch of apps on my phone but even after a full factory reset it was only averaging 5-ish hrs after a few months of usage.
I have the note 20 ultra & I use it all day I've had sense day one it came out & still in new condition love my phone scared to go to another phone.. I've been looking at fold 4 for awhile now just waitin see what the fold 5 does .. I'm always on my phone emails ..games.. and other apps.. (waiting for hubby's phone to give out so I get another phone 😅) he gets my old ones cause I keep mine in great case always new condition when he gets them.
Thanks for the battery life report. I've been impressed with my Fold 4 battery life so far. That said remember that screen-on time is not an accurate way to rate battery life. I guarantee you that I can get more screen-on time if I set my screen refresh low & dim brightness to low & just display a black image, versus locking refresh to 120hz & full brightness on a bright image.
power saving mode is the true way to make your battery last. Just see how much battery you lose overnight when youre not using the phone with power saving on vs power saving off !
Thank you or another informative video :) However in fairness a test like this on any given Samsung flagship phone will give different results for everyone as the battery depletion is based on so many other factors besides turning power saving mode off, it comes down to how the phone has initially been set up to suit ones own individual needs and personalisation and preferences as well as how knowledgeable one is in doing such. There's so many other intricate options one could enable/disable as well as how the device is used and what applications one has on there phone and which ones were used during the said period as well which ones are allowed to run in the background so as not to restrict any notifications for chosen apps etc and the implementation of wether 4G or 5G is being used or data over Wi-Fi can all significantly have an effect on everyone's own personal experiences, I could go into more detail but those in the know will get what I'm saying... have a beautiful day/night further to everyone reading this 💕
So you definitely see a difference in the battery life because for me this is the only deciding factor, I really like my fold 3 but for a better battery I would go to the 4
I have an iPhone and the battery life is incredible until I use mobile data in which the battery drains so fast. Is it the same on the fold? Because 6-7 hours or screen on time with heavy usage is almost the same as the pro max iphones but only connected to wifi, not mobile data.
I've had mine for a week now and have never ended the day under 40%. Of course I don't keep my face buried in my phone all day, that's just normal use mainly on the big screen.
Good reveiw and Try don't charge full because it isn't good for battery for long time such as after year ( you can use Bixby routines and programe to not be charge more than 97).
@@big55trucking51 that's how the battery is across all Samsung phones. Fanboys always lie and go to extreme lengths to prove otherwise. Z fold 4 has better battery than fold 3 but it's still horrible, cannot last more than 4 hours of heavy use, impossible. Same with s22 ultra. If you just use your phone for watching videos or browsing web, of course it will last longer but that's not real world use for many people like us
It's much improved from the 3. I still wouldn't want any less than what the 4 has. I haven't tried the 5, but I'd imagine the SDg2 much improves the batt life again.
I can get about 6 hours of SOT with the inner screen, mainly for videos and web browsing. Games will drain the battery very fast, I get about 3.5 hours SOT with light gaming.
@1:48 I can tell you treat your phone carefully by the way you fold that screen with thumbs pressing the frame, this is how I close my Z fold 3 too. Mine is still rocking solid
I'm not sure how you get almost 7 hours of screen on time. I can barely get 4 even with my phone in light profile mode. Can you share your settings that get you that 7 hrs of screen on time?
I came here cause I have this issue too. The b3 really sucks. Started my morning with a 100% and had to charge it from 35% by 1pm to a 100%. I think it takes more than 20% imo in just one hr.
Spot on, I always have power saving mode on and wifi/gps turned off and while I'm at work I play music in the background and the battery drains at least 20%, oh and the phone is roasting your leg while it's sitting in your pocket.

Hey, I just want to ask if anyone use this phone with WhatsApp as the main messenger app. I’m reaching 5.5hrs of SoT until around 25-28%, with intense use of WhatsApp and few other apps daily, no gaming, and also 70% is on the front screen. Is this normal? Or WhatsApp is just really draining battery no matter what phone you use?
