Galaxy Note Phonesneed more data friend.
- What is your usage?
- Phone calls all day? Hotspot on? Music?
- If you look at your battery usage, is one app always ripping your battery up? (Usually a google product)
At the very least, go to battery--power mode, turn on adapative power saving.
Give that a day or so and see what you get for battery life.
But otherwise if you're reaching your return window, initiate the return with Samsung while you test out that above power setting

Galaxy Note PhonesThere is no such phone. PLEASE REMOVE the S from the 20.
The S line and the NOTE line are different devices.
You have ONE of the below:
S20 Ultra
Note20 Ultra
Battery life will level out once your Note20 Ultra (5G) learns your usage habits. Mine did, as I now get home with 40-50% remaining, and the first week (received it on 8/18) I would get home at 20% at best. I am inferring that you have the Note20 Ultra 5G based on the forum you are posting in BTW.

Galaxy Note PhonesEveyone, including myself is complaining about battery draining fast. I switched from Note 10+ to N20U. Have you tested the camera? I took several photos today (default settings) and they don't have the glow of my Note 10+.

Galaxy Note PhonesHere is what I found to be the fix for now. I have watched anything and everything I could find on N20U battery drain/fixes/etc. I have turned off location access for most things, tried to put to sleep most apps that weren't in use, charged the phone last night and unplugged this morning around 4:45 when I woke up. Started using phone at 100% battery power around 5 am. Doing nothing more than browsing, the battery drained 11% in 30 minutes. SO I went into settings, changed my display to the highest resoloution and dropped the refresh rate from ADAPTIVE down to STANDARD 60hz, recharged the phone back to 100%, unplugged it and since then, I've lost 12% battery since 6am and it's almost 11am. So in 5 hours I've lost the same amount of battery at 60hz that I lost this morning at 120hz in 30 minutes.

Galaxy Note Phones
Yes, that Adaptive refresh rate is a big battery drain. I suspect this is why they don't allow it with QHD+ resolution, yet. Yes, people say "give us an option", but here we are, we have an Adaptive option, and everyone wants to use it, and now many complain about bad battery life. If we had an option for full QHD+ with 120Hz we would all turn it on, and then spend our free time on the forums complaining about terrible battery life. All 3 hours of it until our phones die.
Another thing that drains the battery is 5G (useless for most of us), and while some can turn it off, many can't, including myself, but I'm not actually complaining, I'm getting decent battery life here, about the same as I did with Note10+.
