Now before anybody starts about S24 having being a great phone and amazing performance, …
I own the exynos chip version ( I live in the EU ) and the heating issues and battery draw is disqusting. I have had it for a little over a year and the battery will go from 78% at 1pm when starting afternoon shift to 24% at 10pm after finishing my shift.
It used to last 2-3 days with my usage, nowdays it can’t go over half a day with me not touching it ( I have syncthing running and tasker to disable/enable syncthing depending on conditions. And home assistant to look up automations that I have configured to use the least amount of sensors as possible ).
All I need in a phone is good battery life ( atleast a day with syncthing/tasker and home assistant running in the background ), smaller sized screen with an oled/amoled display ( I tend to read manga and webtoons on my phone ) and possibly a snapdragon chip for occasional pc game emulation ( indie games ) using fex/gamenative.
EDIT: The main problem I have with the phone isn’t the battery life, it’s the overheating issues that made the battery life to degrade rapidly that I have the issue with.
Whenever you get this issue resolved, I would reevaluate your use of background services. Phones tend to keep most of their battery life by not being used constantly.
If you can use it plugged in, I know some Chinese phones are starting to use bypass power, where they run off the charger directly, not touching the battery at all. That means longer battery life.
I also have a tablet, samung one with a snaodragon chio that last me 2-3 weeks with same background tasks ( I use it to sometimes watch anime/read manga ).
I don’t see why a tablet shoukd be able to have that much battery life comoared to my phone.
