Improve Your Galaxy Z Flip 3 Battery Life INSTANTLY! Tips & Tricks

[@ThisMarv]

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

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.

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.

[@chocolatte8301]

Thank you for this comment!

[@Jademoon25]

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]

You give me hope. I unplugged at 7am and I'm down to 26% at 4:45

[@Jademoon25]

@@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.

[@Alantris]

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.

[@nikkiallaireee]

How does that help I tried doing it it says it will only charge up to 85%, I would love more information about this

[@idum01]

@@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.

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.

[@Arithekiller]

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

[@humanhuman2620]

What's your opinion on the protect battery 85% setting? Do you care for potential faster battery degradation over time charging it to 100%?

[@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi]

not worth it. You still need to change the battery after 2 years, in case you still use the phone as your daily driver.

[@TechOdyssey]

I think it is a good option especially if you only have to charge overnight

[@gspam154]

@@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi Agree, I upgrade phones every year, so would rather get a full charge than extend long term life.

[@PrinceJes]

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

[@jeanbaptistelabelle]

@@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.

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 KZbin 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.

Thankyou so much with these tips and tricks. I'm selling my iPhone 13 Pro Max & getting a Samsung Flip 3. This video was really insightful.

[@lukazz434]

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.

[@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi]

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.

[@lukazz434]

@@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.

[@BC-hc5dq]

Why? They will continue to improve on the Flip everytime a new one comes out. So they will build everything else around the processor

[@KhanhNguyen-lg2qi]

@@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.

[@lukazz434]

@@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.

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 🧡

[@jimmyhuang7481]

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.

[@balmoremaza5245]

@@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.

[@jimmyhuang7481]

@@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.

[@balmoremaza5245]

@@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.

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!
