How does the battery life compare between the S24 and S24 Ultra

Battery Capacity

- Galaxy S24: 4,900mAh
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: 5,000mAh

Despite the S24 Ultra having a slightly larger battery, the S24 has been reported to outperform it in terms of battery life efficiency.

Performance Insights

1. General Usage:
- The Galaxy S24 Plus (which shares the same battery as the S24) has shown impressive endurance, lasting over a day and a half with moderate use. In contrast, the S24 Ultra recorded approximately 30 minutes less battery life in similar tests[1][3].

2. Screen-On Time:
- Users have reported around 6 to 7 hours of screen-on time for the S24 and 7 to 8 hours for the S24 Ultra. However, the difference is not substantial enough to be a deciding factor for most users[2][3].

3. Efficiency:
- The S24 Plus has been noted for its better efficiency in web browsing, 3D gaming, and video playback compared to the S24 Ultra, despite having a smaller battery. This suggests that the S24 Plus may be better optimized for battery performance[3][6].

4. Charging:
- Both models support similar charging capabilities, maxing out at 45W wired charging and 15W wireless charging, with full charges taking around an hour for both devices[1][6].

Overall, while the S24 Ultra boasts a marginally larger battery, the Galaxy S24 (and S24 Plus) tends to deliver better battery life in practical use cases, making it a more efficient choice for users concerned about longevity on a single charge.
