My biggest boost to battery life was turning off these two location settings: Bluetooth scanning + Wifi scanning (Settings > Location > Improve Accuracy). Before that I lost 1 % in standby after about 15 min. After turning those off I loose 1% after about 40min standby
its a huge disapointment when you have to turn off many good and new features in order to have good battery life... almost feel like why i get this new phone when i cannot enjoy its full feature.
My eyes cannot detect the difference between 120 and 60 hz. I put my Flip 3 on 60 right out of the box. I turned on adaptive brightness, flipped the outer AOD all the way on the lowest light setting and transferred over my regular AOD on/off schedule (6:30am - 10:00pm), put a ton of apps to Deep Sleep, and put all apps except for a handful on optimize battery. I went for a walk this morning , had my Bluetooth buds in listening to Spotify (offline mode) and running Samsung Health to track my trip. My battery went from 100% when I left, down to 93% when I got home. I was out for an hour and 40 minutes and I never opened the phone. I was surprised, I actually expected it to drain more. I will test it out next weekend when I get my bicycle back from the shop. I typically go biking on Saturday mornings and I'm gone for around 3 hours and run Bluetooth, Spotify and my Bike Tracker app. On my Note 10+ I was getting home with only 70% battery. I am somehow expecting 40/50% for the Flip 3, and will be surprised if it does the same or better than the Note 10+. I've had this phone since Thursday and I absolutely love it. I just factory reset and packaged up my Note 10+ to ship back to Samsung for trade-in. The chip performance between the Note 10+ and the Flip 3 is massive. I don't notice the difference in refresh rate, but I DEFINATELY notice the difference in processing speed. It's worth the upgrade. I think some folks who go from newer (past year or less) flagship phones to the Flip 3 will feel disappointed, but for folks like myself who hold on to a phone for 2 years and then switches to the Flip 3, it's like a night and day difference in performance and quality. I'm also so done with massive phones I cant hold one-handed or fit in my pocket. The Flip 3 (lavender version) is so perfect for me personally, in every way. I showed it to my friends and coworkers and they were like "omg- that phone is so you it's not even funny". I'm a satisfied customer with this phone.
So I got my bike back from the shop and had to take it out to try this afternoon. I ran my Galaxy Buds 2 on Bluetooth, Spotify (offline mode), and Bike Tracker app (w/ geolocation). I also keep my texting, calls, and emails running in the background all the time. I was out for about an hour and 10 minutes, my Z Flip 3 was at 100% battery when I went out. It was at 90% when I got home. I had also stopped to answer a couple of texts and take some pictures of wildlife. Honestly, so far it's the same battery life of my Note 10+. We'll see again how it goes for my 3 hour ride on Saturday. At this rate, it should be around 70% when I get home if I calculate 10% battery down per hour of my "bicycle mode" usage.
@@chocolatte8301 Wow! Optimization will be important. I did a combo of manual optimizations and letting the battery learn my habits. Just yesterday, it finally started showing stats and stopped the learning. It tells me based on my optimization and usage, I should get a day and 4 hours of battery (28 hours). I can live with that. Its not the typical 3 days you get on a 4400mA battery, but anything 24 hours or more is not bad for a small battery, compact device.. I forgot to mention that I live in rural FL where I only get 5g in a single 2 mile radius of downtown- I turned the 5g radio off. I may try it again if I venture out to a metro area, but I don't need it.
@@Jademoon25 yeah your usage is quite good imo. Because honestly like other said, I usually have a charger on me and I usually plug 🔌 at night. So battery life is only going to matter on the rare occasion that I don't have a charger handy. ☺️
Owning the phone for about 2 days now, the battery isn't that bad. I've always been used to turning off a lot of things to get the best battery life with every phone I've owned. Push notifications, and apps not running in the background are the biggest things, also most people don't know that just turning off your Bluetooth and WiFi doesn't mean they won't continue to search in the background, go to advanced settings and turn those functions off👀
@@AarushOnAir took me a while to really get all the settings I wanted perfectly, today is gonna be my first full day of usage from 99 percent charged. I'll let you know
@@hth2830 at 5:58 pm, here on the west coast.. took my phone off the charger at around 8 am. My screen time is currently at 4 hours and 3 mins, with 23% percent battery left. Not bad at all! Not to mention 1 hour and 23 mins of gaming on wildrift.
Your absolutely right about the battery getting better by day 2 or 3. I was so disappointed the 1st day. Even after being aware of the short battery life I was still disappointed. Here I am on day 4 and so happy to see the battery life has improved so greatly. I have run into a warm phone every once in awhile.. And I haven't changed any of the settings you've mentioned here. I'm going to try to do some of these tips and see how it goes...
Love my flip 3 works great for me put it on data saver battery saver an dark mode my phone been great yes I use it alot watch one piece on screen share when I get low battery I turn on Hotspot an use my music phone cause memory card issue but this is my fav phone an charges fast with regular box still havnt bought the one I need
This not only shows how irresponsible you are but also that you're single with no kids. Lmao I fuckin wish i could.blow my account on toys still !!! Lmao
Things I did to get between 12 and 16 hours of battery in my day: 1) dark mode 2) 60hz because I don't care much about 120! 3) battery saving mode 4) restrict battery on most apps I don't use often. Kept it on for apps like gmail that are constantly syncing 5) put apps I don't use to deep sleep mode.
i haven't upgraded my phone in a few years because i was waiting for this one! i'm glad i did because even tho they aren't the best specs and battery life it is still an upgrade from my old phone. I'm a heavy user on my phone but that being said i always have a big portable charger on me so i dont see that being an issue hopefully. i've been watching all the videos on the phone thank you so much for so much insight i cant wait to receive mine(: even tho i want it right now i'm really happy to hear its a little backed up because so many people are buying it! i hope that means better upgrades in the future years and lots of feedback!
I was told I have to upgrade because I don't have a choice my phone will be useless and unusable at the beginning of 2022 so I just ordered this phone it's on back order but yea deff nervous about the battery life I always travel with a charger myself but after watching alot of vidz on this in the last couple days it just seems like the battery will really be the only issue everyrhing else seems good enough :)
The phone works great it's very adequate the battery life okay but I'm always plugging my phone in no matter how much battery life I have because all of them everyone complains about the batteries but as far as it being a flip phone is great to have a small phone in your pocket that turns out to be a big one especially for guys girls can put their phone in the handbag or whatever when you're a guy you can pop it right in your pocket it doesn't take up mushroom and for that aspect unless you're a guy with a pocketbook that feature Trump's all features
Finally someone that knows how a phone works. The first week is going to be bad with any phone. I though the galaxy watch 4 was horrible for battery life but once it learned my usage after a week it's been great! Good video mate!
After almost a month with the Z Flip 3, my take on the battery life is, it is absolutely adequate. If you are at home or office, near a charger, and you are heavily using the device, you will get 4 hours of screen on time. When you are going out and about, the real life scenario is different and so not taxing to the battery. Most of the time the phone is folded and the main screen is not in use. When in the car, calls are answered either via bluetooth or speaker phone, i dont answer text or anything while driving so the brief message in the cover screen is more than enough. The fact that it folds and dont use the main screen for every call and notification, it got me 13 - 14 hours from 100% which is plenty enough when i'm out and about. The lack of fast charging is what i missed most. If it has fast charging like the S20, it could easily do 100% in 45 minutes.
Adam, I'm finding the battery absolute fine. I charged mine 1 day 15 hours ago , I've a screen on time of 4 hours and 54 percent left. I'm also using the 120hz screen - I think compared to the last flip, it's a major improvement.
As someone who wants a phone to capture moments, the tripod functionality and use of the main nice camera with a viewfinder is amazing. Also I hate a big phone falling out of my pocket or taking up room in a clutch or purse. I think a lot of women will really lile this phone if it hold up.
I have the pine green version of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and it overheats after about six minutes of video use at 1080P & 60FPS. I then tried 1080P 30FPS and the Z Flip3 still overheats and gets up to over 110 F in after about five to seven minutes of video recording inside without any warm studio lights. If Samsung cannot release an update to fix this, yeah, I am sending mine back in 48 hours.
@@PeterHerget I saw other people complaining about their phone over heating when using the camera. That is rediculous. The Google pixel 5a also does that.
A lot of women probably wouldn't because they put it in their big big ass pocketbooks but if you're moving around with it's the perfect thing to have it it pulls up in your pocket you don't have to have it being uncomfortable when you sit down
Don't forget putting unused apps on deep sleep mode and turning off sync. I've noticed a bigger improvement when having sync off since it's not constantly checking for emails or other app notifications. I do it myself..5G is off unless I'm in an area where I know speeds will be fast and I will need them. Other than that, I hate it because it always bounces between 4g and 5g, destroying my battery lol
@@SkanDogVids you can turn it off by going into your settings, connections, mobile networks, and then select your network mode. I have mine set on LTE. I would say it really depends on your carrier. I have TMobile and it's fine. I know someone that has att and they say their network won't let them get their old LTE speeds. Att is forcing them to use their 5G but it's not true 5G lol I guess it's LTE+. Crazy.
Thank you. I do this for most of my android and ios phones since before. Not everyone knows about how much the display takes up the battery life. Unless you're a tech junkie like me. 😬
@@nikkiallaireee Smartphone batteries lose more and more power over their lifetime. While a newly purchased phone can usually be used for a whole day after it has been put into operation, a significant reduction in battery life can be noticed after two to three years at the latest. That's because the battery loses a little bit of power with each charge cycle. Devices that are still connected to the charging cable when the battery is 100 percent full are particularly affected. A modern lithium-ion battery, which is installed in all common smartphones today, loses a little bit of its power in this situation. The effect is negligible - but if you use a phone for years, it will still be noticeable. Tip: Do not fully charge the battery Experts therefore advise not to fully charge the battery, but only to about 85 percent. Likewise, it is recommended not to let the battery run completely empty, but to charge it again at 15 percent at the latest. With some smartphones it is possible to prevent full charging to 100 percent even in the settings. For others, the smartphone has to be manually unplugged each time for this energy-saving method. In addition, if you only use your smartphone for two to three years anyway, the battery-saving effect is usually so small that careful battery management is not worthwhile.
With the settings and tweaks you've suggested to improve battery life, can you please let's know how's the battery been performing and the SoT you're getting.
Why do users have to compromise any part of specs & always worry to use it carefully to save the battery? Note: it also has only a 15W battery. Did the manufacturer not think about it before releasing it. I don't think so,.its just to use the improved battery as a new feature in the next release..Though initially, I liked this phone, the battery & eSIM was a dealbreaker for me
Hi I am due to buy this phone soon and unlike most people with have it open most of the time (unless I’m out and about or it’s in my in my pocket etc) so my question is if you keep it open like a normal candy phone can you not set it to screen off? Thanks
So I have had my Flip for two full days and haven't charged it yet. This is with medium use. Watched a few RUclips videos made a few calls and text messages. Nothing extreme. I must say for such a small battery I'm impressed!! I woke up this morning and the battery is at 34%.
Samsung just delivered me my zflip3 today. I didn't hear about the bad battery until after ordering. hopefully ill have a better time over my crashing note 8
I am a tech designer (40 years) who just got a Z Flip 3. I am having trouble with the nonwifi signal. The T-mobile carrier claims their having trouble with the 5G towers.
Could you do a video and/or rundown on the battery savings you gain from the XDA app called Galaxy Hz Max? If any? It allows you to change the Adaptive rate from 120hz to 96hz, you barely notice the difference and you refresh the screen 24hz a second less. It also allows you to get Adaptive mode while you have Power Savings on.
So what do you suggest.. should I turn on the battery save mode immediately when my phone arrives or should I let my phone be for a couple days. I use the note 20 ultra and almost always have battery save mode on.. Thanks!
Still waiting for mine after a botched delivery. I usually find a good app that can hibernate background apps really helps too. Because everything is running in the background willy nilly.. half of it doesn't need to. Thanks for the tips! EDIT: I'd had to say Samsung now added this ability to hibernate apps so i don't need a third party app now... Finally Samsung 👌. If your phone doesn't have this ability i'd still suggest this method.
@@reellsimon better than when purchased since a lot of apps has gone to sleep. In terms of life its not the best, I had a Note 10 and have felt the difference.
@@TechOdyssey you and yours as well dear Sir. Just hope my key2 can make it until new BlackBerry or I will have to be a lot less selective. Keep up the great work !
I have it too and love it. I do miss my pop socket. However I found a new kind of pop socket that expands to grip the sides of your phone. You can use it with any of your cases. I got a couple cases from Amazon too. This silicone one from Samsung is my favorite so far. Have to have something because this phone is way too slippery.
@@PrinceJes I had to turn off a some others like switching down to 4G from LTE and disabling NFC. Had 100% this morning and as of this reply, only lost 5%. But I'm not a heavy user so it's based on standby mode only.
@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi factually, when a Li-Ion battery makes 1500 cycles when charging up to 100%, it is making the equivalent of 4000 or more cycles when you limit at 85%. It does have a huge effect on battery degradation.
my batt care is on, so it’s max charging is at 85%. start my day usually at 7am. by 9pm, battery is at 30%. im working on 120hz btw and on light mode to boot. and yeah, the phone is smart enough to catch on my habits.
Turning 5G option and turn on battery saving mode helps mine to have battery life from 8am until 2am in the morning + turning off location accuracy too
I just bought the zflip3 and went thru the battery savings suggestions you made. what you think about the "protect battery" and what is the latest guidance on whether to keep the phone on a charger if at home/office??
Does adaptive brightness really help with battery? I get what you're saying but doesn't it take battery usage for the sensors to keep working to check to change the brightness?
It's like buying snapdragon and converting it to exynos 😁 Lot of givings than taking for such a high priced phone. Being so much cautious after spending that hefty amount
The biggest mistake samsung has made with this phone is the SD888 chip. They should have put in a less power hungry chip like the 750G. Let's be honest, nobody's gonna be needing the SD888 chip on this phone. Samsung should have put more emphasis on the average user who uses their phone for daily tasks.
Lol no. They categorise this phone as a flagship and you recommend them to put a mid range chipset in it? I would rather charge my phone twice a day, instead of having a mid range chipset. The screen on time is around 4 - 5 hours, its enough for a day.
@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi They already have a phone for you. It's called the S21 series of phones. This problem is not unique to samsung. Many companies have multiple products that "clash" with one another in terms of their intended customer base. The Z Flip 3 should have targeted people who want a small, stylish phone who want to make it at least through the day without having to charge it. Imagine going out or to a meeting and not having to carry around a huge phone that sticks out of your pants. The Z Flip 3 look way more sleek and sexy.
@@lukazz434 this phone can last a day without any problems. And many reviews point out that SD888 is more efficient at energy consumption. SD750 is pure laggy garbage. You should complain about the battery capacity, not the chipset.
@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi more energy efficient doesn't mean it consumes less energy. It just means you get more performance per watt. The TDP for SD750 is 5W and for the SD888 is 10W. (correct me on the numbers if I'm wrong). I have the A52 5G and the SD750 works just fine. As for the all day battery, I've seen multiple reviewers say they have issues getting through the day or just barely.
Just thought I would pop in and say hey. Was this partially inspired by my comments about power saving mode? Glad to see your channel is popping off my dude.
You earned a Subscriber I have watched a few of your Z Flip videos bc im on the edge of buying it. Had my Pixel 2 for four years, battery life is my number one concern. My Pixel 2 when it was bran new wad giving me 5 hours of SOT. I do NOT expect the Z Flip 3 to do it but you have layed out quite a few ways to make it better. I only play Pokemon Go and I didn't know limiting the CPU to 75% was possible I mainly watch RUclips and go on social media so I wouldn't need my CPU going pedal to the metal every second of everyday. If the regular Pixel 6 is too big for me which based on recent rumors/articles I think it will be I will be getting a Z Flip 3 and i want you to know that it will be thanks to you bc of your consistent follow up videos not just one main review. Keep up the good work
Exact same story here: Pixel 6 is looking too big (plus other things...) So im now convinced to go for the z flip 3! Currently texting from my Pixel 2. Its time for an upgrade...
Had this phone for a while and went back to my S21 ultra. I tried to give it a chance I really did but it just wasn't what you pay for. The battery life was absolutely horrible even after a month of it learning my usage patterns and I'm not even a heavy user. I got about 6 and a half to 7 and a half hours before it died. The camera quality isn't bad if it was a $400 phone but it's a $1000 phone. All your paying for is tge wow factor and after a while that wears off and you have a $1000 phone that performs like a $400 phone with minimal features that will have to be charged twice a day before you go to bed. To me it's definitely not worth it.
Had it for a few days, I'm just waiting a few more days to see if it the battery improves after a whole week by tweaking the settings and everything but honestly I'm almost sure I'm returning it before the 14 days testing period, it's awful and I'm coming from a 20FE so not even the Ultra range or Note with crazy performances and it's still better than the flip 3... That's just not acceptable for the price, when you have a phone like this last thing you want is to turn off all the settings that make it a beast 😐
Is it difficult to just click the power button to turn off the display when you're not using it? I never understood the automatic screen timeout option. I always just set it to the longest duration possible so it doesn't interrupt me.
I think cause and not on the flip cause you can flip it off, however on a regular phone like my s20 if i leave that option let's say to auto turn off at 30 min and if I accidentally turn it on in my bag then 30 min of screen time on hurts my battery so it's safe to use it on lower settings just in case you leave ur flip open and then forget to turn off display.
I'm happy there is some one else that does this. I have been doing this for years and never really had a problem. There are times I like to set up the phone on my desk so I can keep looking at it to read something while I do other things and I hate it auto turning off
.... Well I've followed all your instructions on this video pal and from receiving my brand new exclusive Grey coloured Galaxy Z3 I actually managed to get from 1000% fully charged....... 3 days and 1 hour before dying in me that from Thursday afternoon approx 2pm to Sunday afternoon approx 3pm. Yes I have Wi-Fi on all day and use it at home and work and on that very first charge that included data transfer from the very beginning that alone used approx 29% of the battery? I've done a few calls and text messages etc and brow see the web too! Now on my 2 full charge I'm going to put turn the Battery Saver Mode to ON and see if that will make any difference instead of using all your tips and advice?! This was going to be a deal breaker for me I was hoping to get maybe 2 days of run time out of her it now I've just had literally just over 3 days it's Happy Days!! If I had to charge it every day it would of been straight back to Samsung ASAP! Coming from a Samsung M31 with a 6000 mAh battery I knew I would never get the same battery life but getting almost nearly 50% life for a.battery that's almost half the mAh of the M31 I definately just can't moan! Looks like the Galaxy Z3 is going to be my permanent new phone from now on pal!!
.... So.do you think.with me now turning on the battery saver I t will be the same as your hint and tips pal? Cos when you put the Battery Saver on all your hints and tips auto.magically set to off in default mode??
I've had my z flip for three days now and I love it my battery life is 5 hours 9 minutes screen on time and 17 hours 50 screen off time and I'm on 6% now total 23 hours 10 minutes since last charge who thinks this is good or not I mean like I had the iPhone 11 last and I was getting roughly the same screen on time and I'd be roughly around the same battery life
Just got mine 2 days ago and so far so good. The battery is my biggest concern tho. I've been reading about this "96hz apk".. where and how can I download it??
Best Buy. It's the Samsung Cover Case with Ring. It's available on Amazon, Samsung's website, and lots of places. $39. I made a review of it on my channel.
Thank you for this. It's the second day since i got mine and im thinking of returning it bcos the battery is trickling down. Ill wait it out for a few days...
Give it at least a week. It's got to take at least 5 days for the adaptive battery feature to learn anything abouy your usage pattetns and maximize the battery life.
I have been thinking the same. Why so many phones which have 120hz option don't have 90hz option?? Is it intentional? I don't get it. It's not like the phone companies gonna lose out by having the 90hz as well?
Just noticed the "Protect Battery" option. Will definitely be enabling that. Any device of mine that has the option to manually limit charge has it turned on.
When you have adaptive light in it always is using the sensor to look for light conditions. Maybe just set leave it off and find some good middle ground for brightness power?
There's also no sense in having a Snapdragon 888 processor if you're not going to be running it at less than 2.8ghz... 120hz screen is useless if there is no juice left.
@@jimmyhuang7481 I feel you. However I believe that is more than that... they need to do something with the software. The 12promax has 3,687 mAh. A the size is enough for all day battery life.
@@balmoremaza5245 At the same time the iPhone 12 Max, like all the 12 variants are only 60hz screens. Don't forget they're also not folding phones. The hinge has forced the Flip 3 to split the battery in half as well as taking up some space for a higher capacity single battery. That is the compromise that has to be made with a folding screen. For people who are willing to accept that compromise, Samsung gives the users numerous options to maximize their battery life; i.e. the 60hz and Adaptive settings to name 2. I feel that has been the major defining line between iPhone and Android users, people who like to tweak to their specifications and people who just want their phone to work without having to do anything. Neither way is better, one tends to lean to a more customized experience and the other less frustration. Android OS is hardware agnostic. iPhone OS only has to optimize for their own custom chips. Can't really compare software stacks until we can run Android on Apple hardware or vice versa. True, the Android OS can be more efficient but some of it is hamstrung by the necessity to be compatible on numerous chipsets.
@@jimmyhuang7481 I understand, and I'm with you. However we can not be blind about it. Either way 120hz or 60hz, if you have the option to go with 120hz you need to go for it. Honestly maybe it's not a big deal for some people, but to me it is. I just can not back to 60hz anymore. I really can notice the difference. I use My s21Ultra 2k 120hz sc resolution. And my battery life It's fine. I know the cost. However I'm not buying a $1200 phone for use 60hz sc, saver mode & medium screen resolution. I love the flip3 and I'm excited about it and I pre-ordered knowing the battery size, however I'm not blind. And I really hope that with the new OneUi update the battery can recibe some improvements.
I've had mine for a week and have used it properly for about 3 days and I'm kinda bummed out about it. I'm finding it is ready to die just as I finish my shift at work which is all good and well saying well that's enough but I'm just not use to it I'm really really unhappy with it.
Does anyone know how to shut 5g off on the Verizon version of this phone? I live in a rural area and we are lucky to have any bars of Lte. There are times I literally can't make a call but have service.
which model can be opened more smoothly and easily with one hand? Razr 5G or flip 3 5G ? What about the closing sound ? Please make a short video about!
My biggest boost to battery life was turning off these two location settings: Bluetooth scanning + Wifi scanning (Settings > Location > Improve Accuracy). Before that I lost 1 % in standby after about 15 min. After turning those off I loose 1% after about 40min standby
thank you so much. i just turned them off.
THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you I'll try that I was losing 4% per hour so that falls into the 1% per 15 mins

its a huge disapointment when you have to turn off many good and new features in order to have good battery life... almost feel like why i get this new phone when i cannot enjoy its full feature.
Yup, it's a very annoying trade off, if you want such a cool phone you gotta disable everything to keep it running lol
Finally one comment that makes sense
My eyes cannot detect the difference between 120 and 60 hz. I put my Flip 3 on 60 right out of the box. I turned on adaptive brightness, flipped the outer AOD all the way on the lowest light setting and transferred over my regular AOD on/off schedule (6:30am - 10:00pm), put a ton of apps to Deep Sleep, and put all apps except for a handful on optimize battery.
I went for a walk this morning , had my Bluetooth buds in listening to Spotify (offline mode) and running Samsung Health to track my trip. My battery went from 100% when I left, down to 93% when I got home. I was out for an hour and 40 minutes and I never opened the phone. I was surprised, I actually expected it to drain more. I will test it out next weekend when I get my bicycle back from the shop. I typically go biking on Saturday mornings and I'm gone for around 3 hours and run Bluetooth, Spotify and my Bike Tracker app. On my Note 10+ I was getting home with only 70% battery. I am somehow expecting 40/50% for the Flip 3, and will be surprised if it does the same or better than the Note 10+.
I've had this phone since Thursday and I absolutely love it. I just factory reset and packaged up my Note 10+ to ship back to Samsung for trade-in.
The chip performance between the Note 10+ and the Flip 3 is massive. I don't notice the difference in refresh rate, but I DEFINATELY notice the difference in processing speed. It's worth the upgrade. I think some folks who go from newer (past year or less) flagship phones to the Flip 3 will feel disappointed, but for folks like myself who hold on to a phone for 2 years and then switches to the Flip 3, it's like a night and day difference in performance and quality. I'm also so done with massive phones I cant hold one-handed or fit in my pocket. The Flip 3 (lavender version) is so perfect for me personally, in every way. I showed it to my friends and coworkers and they were like "omg- that phone is so you it's not even funny". I'm a satisfied customer with this phone.
Thank you for this comment!
So I got my bike back from the shop and had to take it out to try this afternoon. I ran my Galaxy Buds 2 on Bluetooth, Spotify (offline mode), and Bike Tracker app (w/ geolocation). I also keep my texting, calls, and emails running in the background all the time. I was out for about an hour and 10 minutes, my Z Flip 3 was at 100% battery when I went out. It was at 90% when I got home. I had also stopped to answer a couple of texts and take some pictures of wildlife. Honestly, so far it's the same battery life of my Note 10+. We'll see again how it goes for my 3 hour ride on Saturday. At this rate, it should be around 70% when I get home if I calculate 10% battery down per hour of my "bicycle mode" usage.
You give me hope. I unplugged at 7am and I'm down to 26% at 4:45
@@chocolatte8301 Wow! Optimization will be important. I did a combo of manual optimizations and letting the battery learn my habits. Just yesterday, it finally started showing stats and stopped the learning. It tells me based on my optimization and usage, I should get a day and 4 hours of battery (28 hours). I can live with that. Its not the typical 3 days you get on a 4400mA battery, but anything 24 hours or more is not bad for a small battery, compact device.. I forgot to mention that I live in rural FL where I only get 5g in a single 2 mile radius of downtown- I turned the 5g radio off. I may try it again if I venture out to a metro area, but I don't need it.
@@Jademoon25 yeah your usage is quite good imo. Because honestly like other said, I usually have a charger on me and I usually plug 🔌 at night. So battery life is only going to matter on the rare occasion that I don't have a charger handy. ☺️
Owning the phone for about 2 days now, the battery isn't that bad. I've always been used to turning off a lot of things to get the best battery life with every phone I've owned. Push notifications, and apps not running in the background are the biggest things, also most people don't know that just turning off your Bluetooth and WiFi doesn't mean they won't continue to search in the background, go to advanced settings and turn those functions off👀

5) put apps I don't use to deep sleep mode.
i haven't upgraded my phone in a few years because i was waiting for this one! i'm glad i did because even tho they aren't the best specs and battery life it is still an upgrade from my old phone. I'm a heavy user on my phone but that being said i always have a big portable charger on me so i dont see that being an issue hopefully. i've been watching all the videos on the phone thank you so much for so much insight i cant wait to receive mine(: even tho i want it right now i'm really happy to hear its a little backed up because so many people are buying it! i hope that means better upgrades in the future years and lots of feedback!
I was told I have to upgrade because I don't have a choice my phone will be useless and unusable at the beginning of 2022 so I just ordered this phone it's on back order but yea deff nervous about the battery life I always travel with a charger myself but after watching alot of vidz on this in the last couple days it just seems like the battery will really be the only issue everyrhing else seems good enough :)
@@Church6six6 How is it going right now?
The phone works great it's very adequate the battery life okay but I'm always plugging my phone in no matter how much battery life I have because all of them everyone complains about the batteries but as far as it being a flip phone is great to have a small phone in your pocket that turns out to be a big one especially for guys girls can put their phone in the handbag or whatever when you're a guy you can pop it right in your pocket it doesn't take up mushroom and for that aspect unless you're a guy with a pocketbook that feature Trump's all features

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
After almost a month with the Z Flip 3, my take on the battery life is, it is absolutely adequate. If you are at home or office, near a charger, and you are heavily using the device, you will get 4 hours of screen on time. When you are going out and about, the real life scenario is different and so not taxing to the battery. Most of the time the phone is folded and the main screen is not in use. When in the car, calls are answered either via bluetooth or speaker phone, i dont answer text or anything while driving so the brief message in the cover screen is more than enough. The fact that it folds and dont use the main screen for every call and notification, it got me 13 - 14 hours from 100% which is plenty enough when i'm out and about. The lack of fast charging is what i missed most. If it has fast charging like the S20, it could easily do 100% in 45 minutes.
my zflip 3 lasts about 5-6 hours when im at home, but when im outside and its cold it only lasts 2 hours
@@ekteg1804 2 hours? You got issues with your z flip, are you referring to 2 hours SoT or 2 hours of total use?
Adam, I'm finding the battery absolute fine. I charged mine 1 day 15 hours ago , I've a screen on time of 4 hours and 54 percent left. I'm also using the 120hz screen - I think compared to the last flip, it's a major improvement.

As someone who wants a phone to capture moments, the tripod functionality and use of the main nice camera with a viewfinder is amazing. Also I hate a big phone falling out of my pocket or taking up room in a clutch or purse. I think a lot of women will really lile this phone if it hold up.
I have the pine green version of the Galaxy Z Flip3 and it overheats after about six minutes of video use at 1080P & 60FPS. I then tried 1080P 30FPS and the Z Flip3 still overheats and gets up to over 110 F in after about five to seven minutes of video recording inside without any warm studio lights.

Adaptive brightness actually uses more battery being turned on as its constantly making your screen the right brightness to see, keep it turned off
Thanks for the tips and tricks. Just ordered me a Z flip 3 5G
Don't forget to turn on "Protect Battery" under "More Battery Settings". This will greatly extend the life of your battery.
How does that help I tried doing it it says it will only charge up to 85%, I would love more information about this
@@nikkiallaireee Smartphone batteries lose more and more power over their lifetime. While a newly purchased phone can usually be used for a whole day after it has been put into operation, a significant reduction in battery life can be noticed after two to three years at the latest.
That's because the battery loses a little bit of power with each charge cycle. Devices that are still connected to the charging cable when the battery is 100 percent full are particularly affected. A modern lithium-ion battery, which is installed in all common smartphones today, loses a little bit of its power in this situation. The effect is negligible - but if you use a phone for years, it will still be noticeable.
Tip: Do not fully charge the battery
Experts therefore advise not to fully charge the battery, but only to about 85 percent. Likewise, it is recommended not to let the battery run completely empty, but to charge it again at 15 percent at the latest.
With some smartphones it is possible to prevent full charging to 100 percent even in the settings. For others, the smartphone has to be manually unplugged each time for this energy-saving method.
In addition, if you only use your smartphone for two to three years anyway, the battery-saving effect is usually so small that careful battery management is not worthwhile.
With the settings and tweaks you've suggested to improve battery life, can you please let's know how's the battery been performing and the SoT you're getting.
Having a battery pack surrounded helps keep the phone alive. I know it would be burdensome for many but it helps a lot when you're not home.
Why do users have to compromise any part of specs & always worry to use it carefully to save the battery? Note: it also has only a 15W battery. Did the manufacturer not think about it before releasing it. I don't think so,.its just to use the improved battery as a new feature in the next release..Though initially, I liked this phone, the battery & eSIM was a dealbreaker for me
Your intro always makes me feel nostalgic for some reason, thanks Adam!
Good tips on battery. I don't like the adaptive brightness because sometimes it's too dim when it automatically adjusts.
Yeah same for me. It’s always too low. I don’t like it. And thank you!
Hi I am due to buy this phone soon and unlike most people with have it open most of the time (unless I’m out and about or it’s in my in my pocket etc) so my question is if you keep it open like a normal candy phone can you not set it to screen off? Thanks

I am a tech designer (40 years) who just got a Z Flip 3.
I am having trouble with the nonwifi signal. The T-mobile carrier claims their having trouble with the 5G towers.
Could you do a video and/or rundown on the battery savings you gain from the XDA app called Galaxy Hz Max? If any? It allows you to change the Adaptive rate from 120hz to 96hz, you barely notice the difference and you refresh the screen 24hz a second less. It also allows you to get Adaptive mode while you have Power Savings on.
About 7-12%, even running at 1hz it's about only a 40% battery savings, which is a lot but not as much as you would expect unfortunately
Better than nothing with such a small battery I'd wager
So what do you suggest.. should I turn on the battery save mode immediately when my phone arrives or should I let my phone be for a couple days. I use the note 20 ultra and almost always have battery save mode on.. Thanks!
Still waiting for mine after a botched delivery. I usually find a good app that can hibernate background apps really helps too. Because everything is running in the background willy nilly.. half of it doesn't need to. Thanks for the tips!
EDIT: I'd had to say Samsung now added this ability to hibernate apps so i don't need a third party app now... Finally Samsung 👌. If your phone doesn't have this ability i'd still suggest this method.

@@gspam154 Oh well that's you so that makes sense, I only charge my phone to about 80% now

TO how has your flip 3held up now what 7 months old?Yesterday I picked one again hope to keep this one.Take care great videos.
The biggest mistake samsung has made with this phone is the SD888 chip. They should have put in a less power hungry chip like the 750G. Let's be honest, nobody's gonna be needing the SD888 chip on this phone. Samsung should have put more emphasis on the average user who uses their phone for daily tasks.
Lol no. They categorise this phone as a flagship and you recommend them to put a mid range chipset in it? I would rather charge my phone twice a day, instead of having a mid range chipset. The screen on time is around 4 - 5 hours, its enough for a day.
@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi They already have a phone for you. It's called the S21 series of phones. This problem is not unique to samsung. Many companies have multiple products that "clash" with one another in terms of their intended customer base. The Z Flip 3 should have targeted people who want a small, stylish phone who want to make it at least through the day without having to charge it. Imagine going out or to a meeting and not having to carry around a huge phone that sticks out of your pants. The Z Flip 3 look way more sleek and sexy.
Why? They will continue to improve on the Flip everytime a new one comes out. So they will build everything else around the processor
@@lukazz434 this phone can last a day without any problems. And many reviews point out that SD888 is more efficient at energy consumption. SD750 is pure laggy garbage.
You should complain about the battery capacity, not the chipset.
@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi more energy efficient doesn't mean it consumes less energy. It just means you get more performance per watt. The TDP for SD750 is 5W and for the SD888 is 10W. (correct me on the numbers if I'm wrong). I have the A52 5G and the SD750 works just fine.
As for the all day battery, I've seen multiple reviewers say they have issues getting through the day or just barely.

@Cade Pixel 6 in a month
Had this phone for a while and went back to my S21 ultra. I tried to give it a chance I really did but it just wasn't what you pay for. The battery life was absolutely horrible even after a month of it learning my usage patterns and I'm not even a heavy user. I got about 6 and a half to 7 and a half hours before it died. The camera quality isn't bad if it was a $400 phone but it's a $1000 phone. All your paying for is tge wow factor and after a while that wears off and you have a $1000 phone that performs like a $400 phone with minimal features that will have to be charged twice a day before you go to bed. To me it's definitely not worth it.
Had it for a few days, I'm just waiting a few more days to see if it the battery improves after a whole week by tweaking the settings and everything but honestly I'm almost sure I'm returning it before the 14 days testing period, it's awful and I'm coming from a 20FE so not even the Ultra range or Note with crazy performances and it's still better than the flip 3... That's just not acceptable for the price, when you have a phone like this last thing you want is to turn off all the settings that make it a beast 😐
Don't use your phone so much
Is it possible to answer the call without oppening the flip? Via button and just hold the box as it is, without unfolding?
Yup. Just swipe to accept the phone call from the outside screen and it accepts the call in speakerphone, or earbuds if you're using those.

Is it difficult to just click the power button to turn off the display when you're not using it? I never understood the automatic screen timeout option. I always just set it to the longest duration possible so it doesn't interrupt me.
I think cause and not on the flip cause you can flip it off, however on a regular phone like my s20 if i leave that option let's say to auto turn off at 30 min and if I accidentally turn it on in my bag then 30 min of screen time on hurts my battery so it's safe to use it on lower settings just in case you leave ur flip open and then forget to turn off display.
I'm happy there is some one else that does this. I have been doing this for years and never really had a problem. There are times I like to set up the phone on my desk so I can keep looking at it to read something while I do other things and I hate it auto turning off

Thank you for this. It's the second day since i got mine and im thinking of returning it bcos the battery is trickling down. Ill wait it out for a few days...
Give it at least a week. It's got to take at least 5 days for the adaptive battery feature to learn anything abouy your usage pattetns and maximize the battery life.
Very informative and constructive. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
they should have just put in 60, 90, 120 and let us choose. They knew the battery was small but decided it's either off or balls deep.
90 would have been a fairn compromise too. Or at least an option
I have been thinking the same. Why so many phones which have 120hz option don't have 90hz option?? Is it intentional? I don't get it. It's not like the phone companies gonna lose out by having the 90hz as well?
Watch this vid to get a 96hz mode from the S20 which works on the Flip ruclips.net/video/2CO3HwT5yS0/видео.html
@@rss5969 There is a 96hz option
@@TechOdyssey You should add this on one of your videos ruclips.net/video/2CO3HwT5yS0/видео.html
Just noticed the "Protect Battery" option. Will definitely be enabling that. Any device of mine that has the option to manually limit charge has it turned on.
Yup. Not a bad option especially with this phone!
@@TechOdyssey But with Battery protect you can just until 85 % charging
@@denyo777 that keeps you from overcharging the battery. It’s a give snd take. I won’t be using it. Just turn off fast charging.
@@TechOdyssey this is smart,thank you,Greetings from Munich
This just protects battery degradation over time. It shouldn't be a problem unless you plan on keeping your phone for 3 years or more.
To people have phone how many time or hours the battery stay with you ???
When you have adaptive light in it always is using the sensor to look for light conditions. Maybe just set leave it off and find some good middle ground for brightness power?
I feel you! However no sense have a 120 display and be using it on 60.
Thanks for your videos though. 😁
I really enjoy your love for the Zflip3 🧡
There's also no sense in having a Snapdragon 888 processor if you're not going to be running it at less than 2.8ghz...
120hz screen is useless if there is no juice left.
@@jimmyhuang7481 I feel you. However I believe that is more than that... they need to do something with the software. The 12promax has 3,687 mAh. A the size is enough for all day battery life.
@@balmoremaza5245 At the same time the iPhone 12 Max, like all the 12 variants are only 60hz screens. Don't forget they're also not folding phones. The hinge has forced the Flip 3 to split the battery in half as well as taking up some space for a higher capacity single battery. That is the compromise that has to be made with a folding screen. For people who are willing to accept that compromise, Samsung gives the users numerous options to maximize their battery life; i.e. the 60hz and Adaptive settings to name 2. I feel that has been the major defining line between iPhone and Android users, people who like to tweak to their specifications and people who just want their phone to work without having to do anything. Neither way is better, one tends to lean to a more customized experience and the other less frustration.
Android OS is hardware agnostic. iPhone OS only has to optimize for their own custom chips. Can't really compare software stacks until we can run Android on Apple hardware or vice versa. True, the Android OS can be more efficient but some of it is hamstrung by the necessity to be compatible on numerous chipsets.
@@jimmyhuang7481 I understand, and I'm with you. However we can not be blind about it. Either way 120hz or 60hz, if you have the option to go with 120hz you need to go for it. Honestly maybe it's not a big deal for some people, but to me it is. I just can not back to 60hz anymore. I really can notice the difference. I use My s21Ultra 2k 120hz sc resolution. And my battery life It's fine. I know the cost. However I'm not buying a $1200 phone for use 60hz sc, saver mode & medium screen resolution.
I love the flip3 and I'm excited about it and I pre-ordered knowing the battery size, however I'm not blind. And I really hope that with the new OneUi update the battery can recibe some improvements.
I've had mine for a week and have used it properly for about 3 days and I'm kinda bummed out about it. I'm finding it is ready to die just as I finish my shift at work which is all good and well saying well that's enough but I'm just not use to it I'm really really unhappy with it.
Does anyone know how to shut 5g off on the Verizon version of this phone? I live in a rural area and we are lucky to have any bars of Lte. There are times I literally can't make a call but have service.
Turning down/off the vibration too, that helps I find.
Anything that limits or turns down features will help in some way
Hi,
Anyone knows how to activate the standalone google navigation in the lte version?
Thank you
Thanks for this video, but I'd like to get your final feedback, is it worth to buy this phone or not?
Watch my full review video.
which model can be opened more smoothly and easily with one hand? Razr 5G or flip 3 5G ? What about the closing sound ? Please make a short video about!
Cheers for the tips! 👍
