S24 Ultra's 5000 mAh Battery Can't Compete With Rivals Offering 7000 mAh in Smaller Phones

June 13 8:57 PM

I've been using the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra since 2024. I've owned Samsung phones before, but this particular model has me seriously reconsidering ever buying Samsung again. Despite the phone's large form factor, I feel that the battery capacity and screen-on time fall short of what a device this size should deliver.
In day-to-day use — social media, browsing, basic apps, and general tasks — I'm getting around 4 hours of screen-on time on average. No matter what I'm doing with the device, the battery drains very quickly. I've noticed that other brands on the market are now offering battery capacities of 6,000–7,000 mAh in phones that are actually smaller, while Samsung stuck with 5,000 mAh on this model. As a user, that's been a genuine disappointment.
I don't have any specific demand or expectation from Samsung on this — I recognize it's a deliberate design choice. I'm writing this complaint specifically so that people considering the S24 Ultra or similar Samsung models can get an honest picture of real-world screen-on time and battery performance before they buy.
