    edit:Ok since i'm the OP for this thread i'm gonna change things up


    If you are wondering what the battery life is on the Note 10+ with its 4300 mAh beast of a battery?
    ......well it's been great. Battery life is incredible. Been power using tweaking things here, tweaking things there a lot.....i mean.....A LOT!!!!!!

    i mean playing with the settings, checking out some cool new apps that come included (there is one that use's the camera's depth perception feature.....i'll post a comment on it later). i have even watched movies and youtube on it. not to mention reading and writing emails and answering phone calls and text messages.......all of this at the end of my day i'm still at 20% or so.

    It's runs fast and smooth.... much faster then the note 8. Haven't really played around with the camera just yet. I did take some photos when I took my dog to the dog beach. I'll post those later.

    Want to check out the ar features as well.

    Can't complain so far.

    I'm not a power users but I do need solid battery life for at least 12 hours a day. When you say great life... what are we talking? (looking forward to your pics)
    well this is from today:
    Screenshot_20190827-205537_Settings.jpg

    so as you can see it has held up today nicely......that slight uptick you see in the graph is from being in the car charger for 30 min.

    41% screen time is not bad for the battery life i got out of it.

    ok so i need to figure out a way to scale down my photos....i'm having issue uploading them here.

    i'll post them as soon as i can figure out a faster way to do this here.

    hands down for me its kicking my note 8's butt. by the time i get home my battery is about 15%. it does stay like that until i go to bed as i usually just hop onto my pixelbook to go online. but as of right now i'm at 40%!!!!!!!!!!

    Moved the discussion about battery life from this thread:

    https://androidforums.com/threads/countdown-till-the-note-10-is-in-my-hands.1310549/page-3

    To here in its own...
    ok well since you made me the OP, i decided to change the title a bit and added some more comments to my op.

    I just bought this Note 10+. Years ago, I had a tacfone that had a 5000 mAh battery. That phone lasted a week between charges. A few months ago, I got the moto g7 power which also had a 5000 mAh battery, but for some reason it only holded a little over a day charge. I returned that phone because the 32 GB storage was driving me crazy. I now have the Samsung Note 10+ which has a 4170 mAh battery. Most days if I don't use the phone much, it still has a decent charge at the end of the day. But if I use the phone a lot, sometimes I can't make a full day. Any ideas how I can improve the battery life?

    Just want to point out that whenever comparing older devices with newer ones, there's a lot of trade-offs involved -- newer gadgets will hopefully be more optimized and efficient but conversely things like larger, higher resolution displays and faster, multi-core CPUs and GPUs will tax any battery a lot harder. But not knowing just what kind of phone a 'Taccone' is, it's hard to compare its specs with a Note 10 Plus. If that Taccone did have similar capabilities and hardware specs as your Note 10 Plus, than yes doing a direct battery life comparison between the two applies. If it's instead something similar to just an old flip-phone, than such direct comparisons involve two very different categories of devices -- they may both be 'phones' but the former has a limited feature-set by design (requires little battery power), the latter has a constantly growing feature-set on top of faster, bigger hardware (requires much more power).

    The Tracfone was an Android phone.
