Why Does The Note 8 Have A Smaller Battery?

Why the heck is an Umi Digi?

Not familiar with them either...but I guess these would be them.

Looks nice, the new one says it will have a 5100mah battery! I'd buy that.

Shoot, that's sweeeet! Wonder if available in the states and what carriers it would work on.

I'm guessing it's not VZW certified yet

 

[PereDroid]

Of course not. I don't even wonder about that anymore. "off brand or little known brand" not VZW ready. Thank you, Verizon, for saving me so much money. I would have bought at least 3 more phones if they worked on VZW.

Welcome to DroidForums, jay.brooks.73307 and welcome to the world of Android! Enjoy your note 8! It's a great phone. I can't wait to get mine. Trying to be patient, hoping the price might drop a little before I order mine but it's not easy.

yep, the note 8 battery is great. Mine has been off the charger for 9 hours with moderate usage and it shows 82 percent left. It is the best of all the notes I have owned over the years.

turning down the resolution and brightness works also what helps is making sure all apps are closed when not in use.

Android and Google have both pretty much said publicly that "background apps" do not really impact battery life at all. They aren't truly running.

I know what they say but I have seen what happens with my phone when I leave some apps open - especially those with a lot of ads or refreshes a lot.

What are some good battery saving tips besides screen brightness?

I feel like they have to be running to an extent... Every now and again, my phone starts getting very laggy when scrolling around, and when I go to my apps and "Clear All", my phone is smooth again. I mean, they're doing enough to make an impact on the performance of my device anyways.

I notice on the note 8 when you leave alot of apps running and then close them you lose battery life

Turn off BT and Wifi when not in use.
Set location to Device Only
Minimal savings but savings none the less.
