Hello people I'm kinda planning to buy a new phone for around 45k, S24 seems nearly perfect, I really like it's compactness and the software experience, but my only concern with the phone is it's battery backup, my current phone gives me a SOT of 3 hours from 100 to 20%, my usecase is 12 hours in mobile data and 3 hours of Bluetooth + travel, what SOT can I expect for 100 to 20% in snapdragon variant of s24?

Regardless of location, I have been using my S24 Ultra for nearly two years. I can still get through most days without charging it, although it's easy to pack either a super-fast charger and cable, or a power bank, in case I need to top it off. If you need even more battery life, you can adjust the power saving mode to further extend the uptime.

One only really needs to tuck a charging cable away, since it seems like you can plug into a USB port everywhere these days to top off. Even slot machines have charging ports.

And juice jacking is a thing, so ... not recommended.

 I know that, but it's rarer than it is common.

I'm still not plugging my devices into random USB ports.

I won't do it at airports - the most common place for that to happen. or any place where it's clear they don't maintain the ports.  Just try tampering with a slot machine.  I still usually carry a power bank with me, and I rarely have to charge on the go.

Dangerous practice though. Remember that you're still using a cable that can pass data through. There has been reports in the past where phones had been infected with malware from public USB charging kiosks. Also been talks of the possibility for data to be stolen at such kiosks.

I didn't say I made a habit of it. My phone is well protected, my passwords are encrypted snd there's no real data on my phone. If and when I choose to use a public port, I'm careful where I do it. I have never been jacked or hacked. All my personal business is done on my computer. My phone is for utility and amusement., and I don't have to justify my practices.

It's nothing about your own practice. It's you shouldn't casually toss out a comment about charging at any USB port (considering the known risks), especially without mentioning caveats.
