After reading multiple reviews with excellent battery benchmarks, I WAF super excited. It is being compared to tablets.
I am yet to see that sort of battery life and have been fixing wake locks on random applications since I bought the phone. Still trying to figure some out (calendar storage)?
Also, S Health components and other apps are force closing from time to time.
What has your experience been like?

I'm having excellent battery life, and cant wait for better kernels to be available. Was at hour and a half screen on when this was taken, and hours of streaming sirius. Im happy so far
Not at all impressed. Got 3 hours of screen time to 50% before the battery tanked after that. Im guessing I can hit 5 hours of screen time...which is the same as my m7. Very disappointing so far.
Currently right now, off the charger for 57 minutes. A whopping 9 minutes of screen time....already down to 96%. 4.1%/h burn.
Does this phone stop charging once it hits 100%? Cause it sure as hell seems like it.
Compared to the g2 its kind of a disappointment, but it's not horrible. Got 16 hours with 2 and a half screen along with a couple hours of bluetooth music and some YouTube videos. Try turning of location services when not using, because thats a huge battery hog. I really wish google would fix that. Usually when android system is ahead of screen thats because location services.

I'm not sure what kind of battery life you guys are trying to get with this phone. You have a bunch of features and 1080p hd screen that im pretty sure is pulling lots of power and well the battery is 2800mah so of course its really not going to compete much with the G2 3000mah battery.
I have a G flex i decided to yea take a 720p display over a 1080p display because battery was more important to me, i hated taking my charger everywhere with me or carrying 2 extra batteries like really that's not normal and some folks think it is lol. I took a sacrifice on this phone but i love the battery no more taking chargers or extra batteries lol.
Thats with normal usage browsing the web, couple of YouTube videos, about 3 episode of shows on netflix and alot of pandora and music player especially for the gym.

The battery life was terrible. I took the phone back. I'm on my S4 now with extended battery.
Thats my plan... Extended battery and extra one to carry with me... I go trough 4000 minutes a month easily...

Had some pretty decent battery life yesterday at work in my opinion.
Streamed a movie, like 2 ocean docs, 3 animal planet shows all on netflix, and watched an hour of people streaming on twitch. plus synced exchange, gmail, and texting all day as usual. Brightness was at 50% and no power saving options on.
I'm surprised you guys are having such bad luck with the battery. I played Bloons TD5 the other day for 2 hours on LTE connection with about 75% brightness and only went down 15%.
SMH...
I see some of these post and makes me wonder how many truely have the phone...
You guys getting 12 hours on your phone must be living on it. I unplugged it at 7am and messed with it all day (I work from home) getting everything on it and where I wanted it. Checking out Real Racing 3 for an hour and a half. Surfing for 4 hours while watching a movie and basketball game. Went to bed at 11:30 pm and it still had 53%. Not sure what you guys are doing on it?? I'm guessing you need to get a job and watch porn on your tablet or laptop. hahaha This battery is waaaaay better than my S4 and about 30% better than my LG G2. Really happy with it so far.:good:
I seriously have never been able to get above 2.5 hours of on screen time neither on this phone nor my other phones I've had. I don't get it. Service in my area sucks could that be why my battery life is so bad? I'm amazed seeing anyone with above 3 hours of on screen time. I don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

Have been killing my battery today and still have this(new setup again/lots of account syncing etc). It must be service or something. And this is with easily 2 hours + of sirius
Try turning off location services when not using. Usually when android system is above screen that's the reason.

i had horrible battery life and it occurred to pull my sd card.
I did, and now the battery life is as advertised.
Do I have a crappy sd card or is it possibly a bad config? I just backed up all the content, and formatted using the built in utility.
There were a couple of programs that installed to sd, i wonder if having those on internal memory and only using sd for photos and music will make a difference.
I just put the empty card back in, and will post results if it made a difference.

I agree its better but I was expecting better. I download torrents on it, surf, play games, then enable the battery saver and I can get 10-12hrs off it. I agree its better than the S3 or S4 however many were expecting more.
I consistently get around 16 hours with 3-4 hours screen on time and 1-2 hours bt music. Its no g2 but it lasts me all day.

Before purchasing, I was a little concerned about the amount of battery time between charges on the S6. I picked up the phone yesterday and was able to get 4+ hours of Screen On Time (SOT) with my first full charge. I didn't think that was too bad. I think the fact that it is a new device, I tend to "play" with it more in the beginning. I'm hoping it will get better as it settles into my routine. I still am a little concerned though as I didn't even have an hour of talk time to go along with the SOT, didn't stream music, play any games or really use any other apps. It's been quite a while since I've had a smaller sized battery in a phone I've owned so I may be hoping for too much when it comes to battery life. I had the LG G2, Galaxy S5, LG G3 and Note 4 prior to purchasing the the S6. I love the phone and don't plan on switching. I just thought I would get others opinions on it.
Battery life is bad. This is what it predicts for me. I get 15 hours basically with only chat and web browsing. I sleep off the charger and the phone loses 10-12%
Gps and playing music during a drive just gave me 4 hours. I'm trying to break the battery in by bringing it to 5% and recharging, but this is laughable.

Here's what I've got for the day
So far I'm not happy with the battery life. I'm coming from a G3, where the phone would stay at 100% for several hours, and by the end of the day would be anywhere from 30-50%. I received my S6 yesterday, got everything set back up and use the same apps as my G3, but within a couple minutes the battery was already at 99%, then 20 minutes later was in the mid 90's.
This is the first full day on a charge, with very light use, and this is what I have so far:
Taken off the charger around 6AM at 100%, and now at 7PM it's at 13%.
13 hours on battery
1h 32m SOT
I installed Greenify and GSAM battery monitor, hopefully that will help.

I think we've been spoiled by the LG batteries and then I went to the Note 4 so that doesn't help my comparison either. Today was better for me then yesterday though. Yesterday I was ready to take it back and tell them to keep it. Right now I've been off the charger for 90 mins. I'm down to 91% with 24 mins of calls and 23 mins of SOT.
So far my battery life is soso. Took off charger at 5:40am Saturday morning Eastern time. Currently at 21% with fairly light usage. Texting, little bit of Web browsing, some reading on Kindle app. I expect with normal usage I'll probably get in the 15-16 hour range. Which is uninspiring. perhaps an update will increase efficiency.
Cell standby is the #1 drain for me, comparible to many of the complaints in the main S6 forum prior to the vzw variant being released.

I think that is pretty good. Over 5 hours SOT and still 16% battery life left. Anything over 5 hours is very....very...good.
Looks to me like if they fix that cell standby bug we'll have a monster of a phone. 5 hours screen on time and its only 10% of the battery drain.... I'm curious to know if this cell standby bug is just a mistake in how battery stats are being reported.

I've seen a big improvement in battery today. No change in use. I have over 2 hours of talk and over 3.5 hours of SOT. Still have 22% and it's been 18.5 hours since the charge. My concerns are starting to go away.
Ok so here's all my info for you guys... I am on Verizon, and turned off the VOLTE calling when I got the phone based on the stuff I'd read. I had high cell standby usage. I turned it back on and it went awY to normal.levels, even with WiFi on all day and crappy signal.
I am using Nova launcher, and no theme. I do use a black background, basically a picture of a clear night sky with tons of stars. The day in the picture was a day of heavy Waze use with screen on, heavy Web surfing and some youtube. As few texts and some bacon reader.
I don't see volte calling anywhere I settings. I see "advanced calling". Is that it?
Verizon GS6

The problem doesn't seem to be SOT, but standby time. When I use the phone for an extended period of time, such as when I'm in bed for an hour, I only loose a few percent. However it seems to drain nearly as fast when it's in my pocket. This is why some get 5 hours of SOT while people like me who dont use it much are lucky to get 2 hours. Standby time seems to max out around 12-14 hours.

My Verizon S6 (64GB black) also has Cell Standby as the number one drain on the battery. It's significant compared to my Note 4, where Cell Standby is much lower on the list, and which loses a lot less battery power when idle compared to the S6. Doing a full factory reset, wiping cache doesn't change this fact on my device. Good to see that others have this issue, though I wonder if Samsung/Verizon will really do anything to address it. I love some aspects of the Galaxy S6, but the battery life is an issue for me.

Yeah, this is exactly what I see. My S6 lost 11% of battery as it idled while I slept, with Cell Standby as the largest user of battery (by far) during that time. It has to be a bug, as my Note 4 (with Lollipop) doesn't have this issue.
So my first two cycles on Friday and Saturday were pretty normal and the phone idled incredibly. Then all of a sudden the last couple of cycles (and this one I'm on now apparently) are being killed by Google Play Services, even while idle. I hate that app (not really). I wish it was more clear what within it was eating up the battery.
My experience: Got a S6 Edge from Verizon Apr 10. I was having data issues where I couldn't load pages even though it said 4G. My Cell Standby was pretty high 30%-40%. I was attributing the poor reception to the Cell Standby. They finally gave me a new phone yesterday. The data issue was fixed but my Cell Standby is still high at 30% (I turned off Advanced Calling). I'm assuming this isn't a hardware issue unless I'm really unlucky.
Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Huawei Nexus 6P's battery performs under heavy use.

Lasts a full day of heavy use, but barely. If I am off charger at 7am, by 10pm I have 15-20% left.
On my second day of use, the phone died after 14 hours of mixed to heavy use. Third day is even worse, the phone is draining at about 10% per hour. The endurance on this thing is a step down from my LG G2, enough that I'm thinking of returning it.

Oh dang... I had the G2 and although it had very good battery life, I never found it satisfactory. I have had the Z3 by Sony since release and I have to say, it's the only phone where I am never worried about battery life. It isn't phenomenally better, no. it is just more than enough to give me great confidence in the stamina of the device.
I have the Nexus due in for delivery today so I really hope it doesn't disappoint. Since if it does, I too may return it for the Z5 compact.
First few discharge cycles were disappointing. Then I realized that leaving BT on all the time was preventing deep sleep...I am now getting 20+ hours under heavy to moderate use.
Definitely better than both my OPO and s6 edge

7am - 10pm is FANTASTIC usage! My note 3 could never do that with ANY rom and most modern phones can't, especially with heavy usage. I see users comparing it to the g2 and some older devices and I don't think it a fair comparison. Those older devices have less power hungry components. I'm using a very low spec'd Galaxy Grand Prime and the battery life on it is REALLY good, but that's because of how low spec'd it is. It doesn't even have a 720p screen lol. But the benefits of a 6P are more than just in the battery life dept so I can't complain on that front.

I also leave it on all the time, maybe it is a bug with the 6p and bluetooth? I've never turned bluetooth on and off with any phone as I use bluetooth audio frequently. In any event, I'm going to try keeping it turned off for a day or two.
Three nights in a row, I left it on overnight (Wi-Fi on, BT on, everything syncing) and drained 3% in 9 hours. That's impressive. I average 3-4 hours of screen on time per day with medium to heavy usage and easily make it all day. A few days ago, I did a "light usage test" and didn't use it for gaming (still had everything except GPS on and syncing) and I made it 2.5 days (59.5 hours) with 2.5 hours of screen on time. Battery is impressive on this thing. I am rooted stock and have no issues, except when gaming. Mine drains really fast and gets very, very, very hot when gaming for extended times, but when not gaming, it lasts crazy long.
Waze and any music app will absolutely DEMOLISH the battery. Very disappointed vs my iphone 6+. Use a car charger!
I am averaging around 2h45m to 3 hours screen on time, with a total run-time of 13-15 hours (7 AM to 10 pm) - 100% to 1% with medium to heavy usage.

We shouldnt have to root a device,install roms, ect just to get by a whole day or normal phone usage. Its one of the major reasons why im using an iPhone as my daily.

Just FYI... I ran stock for 3 weeks and got absolutely absurd battery life with pretty moderate to heavy usage. I ride a train to and from work every day for about 45 minutes each way. Listen to music at work, on the way to train, on the way home, while I'm at home both in the morning and after work. In about 20+ days of usage running stock, non-rooted I got 20+ hours with ease. Don't be fooled by what a few people say, however, it also depends on many many variables.

Would like to know what battery life you guys are getting. A relative bought one and his battery life is really quite impressive, much better than his previous phone, the LG G2, which by all accounts has solid endurance.
I've only had the Z3 (ZE552KL model) for a few days but the battery life is absolutely stunning so far. I am *so* pleased with this phone.
Amazing battery life
The battery life is a thousand times better then my previous phone s6
Very Good so far. Only been 3 days
Quite pleased with the battery life so far and the phone overall except for a few nit picks on the annoying Asus software and bright settings screen. Was hoping that with USB-C it would have a quick charge type of thing going but I find it seems to take about the same time as my Nexus 5.
Probably not as good as the iPhone 6s and above but close in my opinion. Excellent phone so far. Does not compare to the Oukitel K6000 Pro with a 6000mah, that phone is a beast though and unfortunately useless for most carriers. Hopefully this battery lasts as well as my Nexus 5 has for almost 3 years.
I directly upgraded my ze520kl to nougat when buying and it's still have quite impressive battery life. I could get 4 to 5 hours of SoT including playing games for around 1 hour.
I'm so pleased with this phone battery life. Receive many updates too (at least 4 from the day i bough it). It's better after updating.
I think battery life has been decreasing since the first days. So I start to look for tips on this and others forums.
So I find this: Just disable everything you can from Mobile Manager and make Dozer from Android make their job.
Now I have incredible standby performance, very close to 0% for hour.

Whitout games I could take more than 9 hours. But happens only that time. I had something between 6-7 hours SoT in a casual day.

But this was using no other battery saving techniques. With things like greenify with aggressive doze, lowering resolution to 1080p ect I'm sure I could extend this even more if I really wanted. Not only that but the game I was playing is a 3d MMORPG with graphics set to med/ high.

So far I've only had one real heavy usage day.
I was on a mix of LTE and wifi, browsed with Chrome, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 30 minutes YouTube, 1 hour streaming Google Play Music to Bluetooth headphones, 15 minutes playing Asphalt 8, brightness at 20%, Now Playing on, Google account syncing, Location on high accuracy and battery saving off. At the end of the day I was literally trying to kill the battery but it was getting late and I was tired.
Under the same conditions my Nexus 5X, even when it was brand new, only got like 3 hours screen on time with the same off the charger time.
First phone I've ever had that I can actually say has great battery life. It more than makes up for the blue tint that I only even see if I'm looking for it.
Been at a conference last few days in a row. Historically I bring a charger with me because usually I'm just sitting there on my phone.
Don't have my actual battery performance but started with 100% out of my car. Purposefully left a charger in the car.
Used tons of XDA, Facebook, browser text email etc and had 40-60% remaining after about 7 hours onsight each day.
Great battery for working professionals or any heavy user
Much better lasting than i expected. 3500mah compared to the 3000 mah of Nexus 6, and it lasts 2 days easily on light to moderate use.
EDIT: i meant nexus 6

The Nexus 5 didn't have a 3000mAh battery. It had a 2300mA battery.

Oops, i meant Nexus 6, my bad!
I'm downright impressed with the battery on this phone. I was at the hospital for 3 days with no charger, and it lasted the whole time. Granted, I pretty much don't use any app other than firefox, but at the same time, I never turned on the TV (I honestly don't care for watching TV) and my phone was all I had to entertain myself, so the screen was on a lot.

Yeah even better! Even with a 3220 battery, it barely lasted for almost a day. Granted it was after 3 years of using the phone, so at the time i bought it, it would have lasted maybe 1.5 days. But when i went 3 days without charging the pixel 2xl, that was something else.
Upgraded from a Nexus 6 as well. With he same apps installed, and with everything else as similar as possible (i.e. batter saver disabled, location high-accuracy, same google accounts added, etc.), and with hte N6 rooted and running Pixel Launcher and wallpaper app, *and* with the N6 being a 2nd replacement (having replaced my original purchase due to batterygate in Jan 2015, and then having lost the second device in Jan 2016 and relacing it with the last completely new in a box N6 that I found only) and thus around 1.75 years of actual use (versus a true 3 years), I can say that my N6 will die easily in ~4 hours of intensive video game playing (games like PotC: Tides of War and Lineag 2: Evolution) but the Pixel 2 XL has let me play 7+ hours continuously and still had well over 30%.
Being the holidays, I don't have that much time to dedicate to playing games in one sitting, but I can fire up Lineage 2 and auto hunt for a long time, with the phone sitting off to the side, if anyone requires actual visual proof.
Also, relate to this, even if I am playing either game and connect to my charger, the phone barely gets warm, whereas my N6 would get almost unbearably hot if I charged and played at the same time.
If you aren't fortunate to live on wifi and have bad service, my battery life is dropping. I'm down to 10 hours with 2 hours of SOT. First day was much better. I am using a third party charger. Does that drop battery life?

That's pretty terrible. Never got lower than maybe 4.5 hours SOT and that was out and about at Disney World for 16 hours. Mostly the bad service that's killing your battery because it's searching for stronger signal. Doubtful 3rd party charger would be doing this. Screenshots?
So far today

Screenshots like that's aren't the most helpful. Scroll down and take a screenshot of the app usage too.

Yeah, something is wrong. A few weeks about I had a long day out using mobile data only with signal average to bad browsing, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 45 minutes of Google Maps navigation with the screen always on and playing music over Bluetooth to my car for like 2 hours and even like 15 minutes of Asphalt 8 and I ended the day with like 6 hours SOT and 20 hours off the charger and still had like 10% left. That's the absolute WORST I've ever seen. On wifi all the time with good cell signal just browsing and Facebook I've gotten 9 hours SOT over like 40 hours at best. Average with a mix of usage is about 7 hours SOT with about 32 hours off the charger. Individual results will obviously vary but if you are getting a lot less than what I get, which is pretty typical from all the user experience I've read, something is wrong.
Can anyone tell me what is the screen time you get on a pixel 2 Xl iam getting 4.00 hours with 80% battery used and 20% battery left with full recharge 15:20 hour's ago
With talk time of roughly 1:45 minutes used.
How i'm /my phone is doing.
Read somewhere people are getting 8+hour's of screen time with 10% battery still left.
