Samsung introduced flagships to the world about a month ago Galaxy S9 to Galaxy The S9+, which compared to last year's models, boasts several improved features and slightly changed design, for example, the fingerprint reader has been moved to a more acceptable place on the back. Unfortunately, the battery life of the "nineteen" is not very good. According to tests conducted by AnandTech, not all of this year's models have the same battery life.
The South Korean giant released the flagships in two versions. In the United States, China and Japan, they are sold with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 chip, while in the rest of the world with Samsung's Exynos 9810 chip. However, tests have shown that the battery life of smartphones with an Exynos chip is lower than that of smartphones with a Qualcomm chip. Now sit back, even according to AnandTech tests the battery life is 30% worse than u Galaxy S8, which is really alarming.
The problem seems to be in the architecture of the Exynos chip itself. The AnandTech server used one tool to throttle the M3 core to 1 MHz and cut the memory speed in half. With these modifications, the chip was indeed as powerful as the Exynos 469 found in the Galaxy S8.
The problems are therefore hidden in the very design of the Exynos 9810 chip, which is most likely leaking energy. So, after reading these lines, customers will start to consider whether it is even worth upgrading from Galaxy S8 on Galaxy S9.
