I’ve checked my usage on my S23 Ultra and it’s mostly the same for both days the only difference is that I’m in my parents house for the weekend and I’ve been on wifi the whole time today. yesterday I was at work mostly and I was using Cellular data the whole time.
Apparently I can’t upload images here so here are the differences
Today 77% battery usage for 8h 35m SoT
Yesterday 87% battery usage for 6h 24m SoT
Does it really affect battery performance this much?

Depends if you have a good reception. If not, the phone seems to work harder. It’s not just Samsung phones.
Yes. Cellular takes more energy to use. You can look up youtube videos explaining the technology.
Yes. Even more so if you have low signal.
Sure does. Our mobile signal is pretty well non existent, and the wifi is so bad that it takes ¼ of an hour to watch a five minute video. My s20fe lasts about 6 hours before it’s flat but will last 9 - 10 somewhere where there’s a reasonable signal.
Using the cellular network takes much more battery (especially when the signal is low and if you are using 5G) than using Wi-Fi only.
Same as other phones I’ve had… lower the signal, the worse it is…
When outside, on the go, on mobile data I am getting half of SoT in comparison to inside, stationary, wifi.
You are receiving/sending data on much larger distances, it makes sense.
For the best energy efficiency, use Wifi when possible.
Yes, especially if you have a weak signal…
No 💩!
Yeah.
5G is a power hungry beast.
Even without 5G its bad
Yup cellular data is a chugging phone battery beast. And beware of the low signal monster. You better turn it off if you are in a low signal area, just turn airplane mode until you get to a place you know has good signal 🤷🏻♂️
6h on mobile data is pretty good, on s22+, I only get like 3-4h of sot
Yep, it’s true. 5G SUCKS Battery power and so does a weak signal.
Good to know! My Samsung s23 ultra still has a very good battery, haven’t noticed any difference with mobile date yet. But, I will definitely start checking the percentage now.
