After 3 trials, the average performance of the 5,000 mAh battery on the Galaxy S22 Ultra allows the device to stay on-screen for over 6 and a half hours. Charging the battery three times and using it until drained showcases commendable battery usage. With this figure, the device can meet the full-day usage demands. For lighter usage, such as browsing the web and checking news updates occasionally, one can carry the phone in a bag for an entire week without needing to recharge.

Testing Journey
Will be conducted over three sessions, each involving distinct tasks. After each session, we'll capture the on-screen time of the device. Upon completing the three tests, we'll calculate the average on-screen time for the final result. A quick note that each task will take approximately 30 minutes, repeated continuously until the device runs out of battery.
Session 1: Sequentially perform tasks including playing PUBG Mobile, Arena of Valor, Asphalt 9, using Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, and watching YouTube.
Result: 6 hours 13 minutes
First simulated usage session mimicked a gamer's habits, primarily focused on playing games. With three popular titles, including two online games, graphics set to prioritize smooth performance, I could comfortably play. On average, every half an hour, 1-2 PUBG matches were played, causing a 10% drop in the device's battery. Besides gaming, I interleaved various tasks such as web browsing, Facebook scrolling, and watching YouTube.
Session 2: Sequentially performed tasks including Video Call, Translation (Text typing), Browsing on Facebook, Instagram, Chrome, and watching YouTube.
Results: 7 hours 19 minutes
In the second attempt, I took on the role of a user with a modest server for text typing, while simultaneously maintaining communication with others through video calls. Alongside these tasks, I also performed various other routine activities.
Task 3: Sequentially execute tasks including: Taking photos, Shooting videos, Creating videos, Editing images, Facebook, YouTube.
Outcome: 6 hours 5 minutes
In this third attempt, I employed the camera to capture photos and record videos, followed by using Lightroom software for image editing. Additionally, I utilized the VN app to create short films. These tasks somewhat simulate my daily activities and, to some extent, reflect the habits of fellow photographers or those working in the creative field in general.
After 3 executions, the average on-screen time for the S22 Ultra is 6 hours and 32 minutes. In my opinion, this is an impressive figure and should meet the usage needs of individuals for at least one day.
In terms of charging time, the S22 Ultra supports fast charging at 45W, and I also have a compatible charger to juice up the device. Measurements indicate that in just 30 minutes, the phone's battery gets nearly 70% charged, and within about an hour, the battery reaches full capacity. This rapid charging speed is indeed a noteworthy aspect when discussing the S22 Ultra's battery.
