How long should my Samsung phone battery last?
The battery life of your phone depends on several factors, like how often you use and charge your device. On average, your Samsung Galaxy S10 battery life expectancy is about 2–3 years, or 300 to 500 charge cycles—whichever comes first. You measure one charge cycle from the time your phone's lithium-ion battery is fully charged, completely drained, then charged up again.

Signs your Galaxy S10 may need a new battery
Smart phone batteries typically don't quit without warning. There'll be clues. Here's how to know when your Samsung battery needs replacing:
Your Galaxy S10 won't hold a charge
If your phone's battery dies quickly after you charge it—especially if the phone is also overheating—you should probably replace your battery.
Your Galaxy S10 won't charge when it's plugged in
Is your phone not charging at all when it's plugged in? It may be time to get a new battery. Try another charging cable and charging block first, but if the results remain the same, you should get help from an expert.
Your phone is sluggish
Do apps take longer to launch than they used to? If your Galaxy S10 is responding slowly to prompts, you may need a new battery.
Your Galaxy S10 looks swollen
If the exterior of your phone shows damage, you'll likely need a battery replacement.
- Check the back of the phone for warping or bubbling.
- Check the sides of your phone and the screen for any separation from the body of your device.
A swollen battery can be dangerous, so if you notice any of these signs, bring your device to a local repair shop as soon as possible.
Your phone randomly shuts down or restarts
If your Galaxy S10 abruptly shuts down or reboots without prompting, you may have malware. If you suspect this is the case, check out our guide on how to secure your phone from hackers. You may need a new battery or even a new device.
