Screen on time - Xiaomi Mi 5 Real Life Review

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Mi 5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Can you tell me how much SOT can u get and your usage as well? Thanks!

I got 3 to 5, 3 mostly on working days, especially when we got a lot of things to do (less touch on the phones). 5 or something on the weekend, especially when we go out somewhere (pictures and videos will dominate battery use, followed by social media for sharing them).

I get around 7 hrs of Sot on miui 8 global stable which is not bad but on miui 7 i could easily reach 9-10 hrs of sot...

I get around 4-5 SOT with only on mobile data, HSPA+ and around 6-7 only on WiFi ( with flightmode on - as I have currently at home no network due to stupid issue with ISP ( broken cable ) and where I use WiFi I have a bad signal - and everyone I know calls with whatsapp or messenger or skype or viber ) . FYI , those screen on times are until 20 procent battery left as I charge if I can never under 20.

Wi-Fi only will get me 7-8 hours SoT, altough sometimes it droppes a little faster and i get 5-6 SoT not sure why.
Running Cyanogenmod 13 20160906. Since i only use 3-4 SoT i have 50+ percent over at the end of the day, so i am satisfied.
Also my first phone with Quickcharge and i like it more than i would have tought.

Running MIUI Global Stable 8.0.1.0, it is about 3h30mins on my average use... Phone heats a lot, sometimes when idle. Maybe that's why battery consumed quickly.
Sometimes phone not sleep, which is maybe bug from MIUI or Google Services (or both).
My usage is mostly playing medium to heavy games and social media. Phone usually at Wi-fi (work and home from Sun to Sat, yay!)
Currently running CM 14, before that: CM 13. Battery life's good. Got screen on time usually 4h40mins to 5h with same usage pattern.

3-5 hours on average, 3 if I rely heavily on LTE. Though my record is 8 hours on 3G in rural Italy ?

Does latest miui 8 global stable (8.1.2.0) have good screen on time? Thanks.
Sorry for bad english

I am asking myself the same question. Right now my phone is with 8.1.2.0 but I cannot reach even 5h SOT. No 4G, No GPS, No NFC, No Hotspot. The only app which is allowed to autostart is Messenger. Everything is turned off. Most of the time I am on Wi-fi. I have great signal but Only 4h SOT...

That is amazing.. Do you use app as greenify ? Have you rooted your phone ?

Hi guys, I'm running on Version: V8.1.4.0.MAAMIDI (MIUI8) Global ROM [ LATEST ] and I get around 4-5 Hours of SOT. I wonder if there any Official MIUI ROM which gives 5+ SOT. Please do reply with the version and a screenshot. Thanks

SOT on MIUI 8 nougat is really bad. I used to get 5 hours on MM, but getting only 3.5 hours on N

Around 6 on LTE all day CM13

why does your battery stats screen look different?
Oh and if I use the phone with light browsing/videos/music it can go for 5 maybe 6 days with the Gingerbread update and Mugen 4500 mAh extended battery. I got 3 days and was still at 68%.
To be completely honest, my battery life hasn't been very good lately. I'll take it off the charger at about 7AM in the morning. It'll be about nearly dead (in the orange or red) at about 6-8PM. Before the update, i'd get a lot more life out of it honestly. Whether I was using it or not.
i'm at 78% after 17hrs right now. but i utilize wifi.

had exact same experience. I've decided it's because while I'm on wifi at work, it's not a strong signal so the phone keeps dis/reconnecting.
I'd say that I generally get around 20 hours with normal weekday usage.
I installed xboarders tweaked with LG cam and nothing else and would get about 10hrs out of the battery. Then I installed the nontweaked version with all bloat and stock camera and when I put it on my charger I was at 30hrs with 28% left.
If you wanna feel good about yourself dl ZDbox ... it always seems to exaggerate my battery life...lol
With heavy use I get about 8 hours.

All the roms in this world... wont save you from yourself"
Since I installed this plain rooted rom my battery has flatlined. All I have installed on it is Beautiful Widgets and enabled wifi calling.
has anyone ever seen anything like this? 15hrs and it was still at 76%.....
My battery was horrible until yesterday. CM7 build 97 helps my battery a lot and then I also use SetCPU with a screen off profile and an in-call profile. Those 2 things left my battery at 7% after exactly 24hours off the charger and light to moderate usage.
Screen off - 312/216
In Call - 1000/216 with priority slider set higher that screen off profile.
Credit goes to 'phburks' for the profile settings.

Dude you didnt even use the phone until the end where it dipped.
Yeah, isn't that what your looking for? I only want my battery to drop when in use. Every other rom I have tried the that slope has been at around a 45° angle.

Longest I've had mine last was about 13 hours

8-9 hours
I've gotten better battery performance on Eagleblood 2.3.5 ver1.6
Overall, still sucks. I've not tested the battery because I accept that having android, I can't expect for more than a day's use. My nokia e72 has great battery performance.
I'll push to see how much I can get, but honestly, I accept it. I'm always near a charger so it doesn't matter. Spent most of my frustration on getting a working ROM with my phone.
Now I can tweak with battery performance. I don't expect anything more than 8 hours. I use my phone alot.
last full charge on my G2x with Faux's rom and UV kernal lasted me 55 hours with normal usage, H+ (3g+) most the time, the true 42mb 4g isnt out here yet
I got 12 hours today. Amazing.

I get about four hours
Yesterday I got around 5 hours with 30% left. Mostly just on forums, Facebook, etc. Nothing too demanding
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
WIth some gaming, music streaming, and about 15 hours of operation time, I get about 4 hours of Screen On Time with maybe 10-20% left.
Same thing as Nexus 6.
Usually 2 hours for me.
I got 6 hrs yesterday which for me is very good considering I stream video and am on the phone frequently. But normally I get around 5hrs 45 mins.
First complete day ended yesterday 27 hours off the charger 5 hour 26 minutes screen on time (Somewhat light user, lots of messing with the phone installing apps customizing and have gReader pulling down about a 1000 articles a day, reading through all the headlines and diving into about a quarter for more. No calls and light texting maybe 40 messages)
This is amusing. I've had the phone for about a week. Not more than 3 hour to 330 on average use. Once I got 4hours+ but that was when I had the phone mainly on WiFi + aeroplane mode since the mobile signal was weak.
I have no idea how someone could get 5h30min screen time on this phone. (Maybe with screen just on while doing nothing on the phone?)
It has a huge battery so I'm all for blaming Google the stupidity of a 2K screen wasting power.. When iphones with HD display looks gorgeous too. I've no other reason to think of.. My brightness is usually at 20% or so but even then... Almost same as my nexus 5 ..marginally better. But I was expecting a lot more.
I've had the phone since Tuesday and have been getting 4+ SOT consistently. Still trying to figure out ways to optimize battery life, but overall I'm happy. Way better than my S6.
5 hrs SOT with about 1 hour of playing asphalt at 60% brightness, mostly on wifi, google now enabled, brightness range from 20% to 60%., 2 emails synced and refreshes constantly (I get about 40 emails per day).
Without playing Asphalt 6-6.5 hrs SOT.
8:55 SOT, wifi only(radios active but Fi service is not activated yet), mostly texting/messing with phone/couple hours of wifi calls, 20-30% brightness on average, very few apps installed. Battery lasted 16 hours total on that charge(was first full charge since I got phone, ran it down to 5%)
When I use it on a mix of Wi-Fi and 3G/4G I get about 4 hours SOT, on Wi-Fi only I get about 6 hours SOT. I always have bluetooth/wear and location on and brightness set at approx 40%. I'm really impressed, especially with doze ?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I was at 6.5 hours with 20% battery left the other night. Probably could have pushed it close to 8.
I'm at 25 hours of up time right now since my last charge. 4 hours of screen time exactly with 15% left

1h 25m
Granted that's not a lot of time, but I've used all my phones this same way during a work day. None of them have been at 76% after 7 hours.
The Nougat doze works incredibly well. last night from 11pm to 6:30 am the phone only lost 2% power. So when the phone is left alone, the standby is insane. Note that this is with the second screen on all night as well.
67% battery left on 51 minutes of screen on time over 12 hours and 8 minutes. Not bad for the first day. I expect it'll get better as the battery "finds itself."
I really didn't get into the screen until about lunchtime today. Using the phone for Poweramp it knocked about 10% off of full before lunch.
I don't have screenshots as I charged my phone before I saw this thread.
Today was a very busy day for me. I got roughly 4.5 hours of talk time, and 4 hours of SOT for about 9 hours with 20 something % battery life. My Note 7 wouldn't give me that much when I did have it, and my HTC 10 could never give me anything close to that.
Disabled a few apps and using ForceDoze app, battery is amazing so far!
Great battery life. Almost better than my note 7????
I lost almost 15% overnight Went to bed around 12:30, woke up about 9:45a. Didn't touch the phone at all.
Anyone know how to shrink the graph to show more time?
I went to bed with 74% and woke up with 74% . Not time to do the screenshot since im waiting for the phone to get to 0% to charge it up to a 100% again then do my testing of how long would it take for the phone to turn off while watching a video in 1440p (im going to use any 8 hour videos that has constantly moving images and see how it does.)
Im really hoping i get decent battery life, my note 7 was amazing i would average around 8 hours sot and squeezed out 9 a few times, so far 1st day with the v20 im at 47% with 3.5 hours sot. Id be happy with 7 hours sot

What were you doing to get that SOT? Seems unlikely using many GPU heavy apps. YouTube web and books?
I got 5 hours with Note 7, but SOT is relative to the user. My Note 4 with the new MM update, reset to stock and new battery gets the same.

Here's the last screen shot i saved of the note 7, 7.5 hours SOT and still had 20% battery left. I honestly wasn't doing anything special just disabled alot of useless apps, SOT was mainly web browsing and youtube
I see you have your screes brightness set to 28%. I'm sure that helped you achieve that stat. But congrats none the less. 7.5 hours of SOT is fantastic!

Screen was not at 28% it was around half way up, the 28% is how much battery the screen killed
Tell me what you think
I went from 100% to 5% in 2 hours 57 minutes. It would have lasted up to 3 hours 5 minutes. Hey, i think it is great!!!! Lol do not think im a fool. Read below....
I was watching several videos, not on 720p nor 1080p, but on 1440p , full brightness, no autobrightness, wifi on and with 22 out of 35 apps constantly synchronizing . Also, speakers as loud as they could get. Ah, and recording the screen with an screen recorder app (sooo that is also added to my result). I was about to upload the video but... According to the app the file got corrupted because it has to be recorded with only one orientation and i used both orientations... Sooo, the video is gone lol. I will be doing a 1080p to see how long it last.
My 1st day with a full charge and i managed 5 hours 20 minutes SOT, hope it gets a little better once it settles in
way better than note 7 all day a bunch of emails many pictures at work and and it:good: end at 78%.

Batterylife stats

So I can't believe there is no thread for this already haha.

This is my first day, mainly wi-fi, should be 18hrs 30m sot for a full charge.
Been out and about today, so wi-fi and mobile data and battery life should work out about 13 hours sot time.

Great phone
Truly amazing stats! Beats the crap out of my "battery monster" Oukitel K6000 Pro who can only reach ~9h SOT on a daily basis. (100% to 15%)
so far best battery life phone I had
Almost 6 days on a smartphone is just ridiculous ?
Mine lasts about 2-3 days but my SOT time is about 14-18 hours over that time.

^This is much even for P2 bro...Do you read ebooks all the time? Not gaming or downloading stuff via 4G? The average SOT for P2 is ~9-10h.

I would say average is more like 15 hours based on own usage. Over several days. 9-10 only and we have problems in my opinion. Some kind of drain.

Or just an hour or two of gaming. The average for me is 12h SOT, from 100℅ to 15℅ with 2h gaming for over 3 days on a single charge.
just curious at which value you ALL people....setted the luminosity.
i think you set it at leadt at 35/40/50% or it's a non sense to let us know a GREAT sot.... but with a such dim display almost unusable by 80% of people.....
however i'm very envious of your sot... i recently bought a RN3P and it's ok..... but i was undecided between it and p2, but p2 hassomething i really hate.... buttons on display
if lenovo had done the p2 with classic 3 capacitive buttons....... it would be my actual phone.
however i'm really temped to sell my phone and get this.... i themed mine with substratum .. all BLACK..... i know amoled display like p2 would save A LOT of power..... mmmm

the P2 is not without it`s glitches (as most phones) but the battery is a big advantage,I go out with the battery at 50% all day knowing the phone will not run out of charge (on previous phones I always carried a powerbank)
This phone is IMO excellent value for the price.

After nougat update many bugs are solved. Battery remains great
70% auto brightness, wifi and data on all the time, about 60% of time wifi was my main connection
15h is easily achievable with lower brightness, good network connection and no intensive/background apps. The people getting 18h+ who don't show power drain profile i question. Also, I've noticed my stats don't reset if i do a brief charge. Or i could plug in a low current trickle charge from a computer usb. Would look like very slow power drain but i could post u some crazy stats! The most important stat really is the minimum SoT. If you run full brightness as I have been, with a bit of everything, you will get minimum of 11-12h SoT. Still going through a charge now, so will post final stats tomorrow. But 2d+ use, and 12h SoT with maxed settings doing whatever i like is epic from a fast smart phone!!!
8 days on a battery! Epic.
Rom S062_170117_ROW
11h45m SOT! From 95% to 10%.
No gaming, lots of browsing, youtube, downloading stuff.
WiFi only, brightness on auto.
I'm pretty heavy user, no gaming though. Apart from regular calling and messaging, I browse a lot, lot of music, every imaginable form of social media and hours of music, I get an average of 14-16 hours of SOT.
The only problem is with Hike messenger (most probably the app's fault), the SOT reduces by almost half. With below average Hike usage, the SOT I can squeeze out 8-9 hours barely.
Edit: WiFi or Jio 4G always on 24 hours a day. Brightness is manual.
Could probably push 20h SOT with only wifi, 2G, auto sync, gps etc. disabled.

I'm not either. High accuracy mode was on the whole time
Out (on LTE only, no Wifi) and about regular usage (web, news, maps/navigation) - 13%/hour ~7.6 hours SOT
Camera (because the camera is THAT great) + Google photos editing and uploading - 17-25%/hour ~ 4-6 hours SOT
At home on Wifi regular usage- 6-7%/hour ~ 15 hours SOT
So was doing some testing for battery life. Used it till it shut off just a few minutes ago. I had taken a screen shot at 1% about 5min before it powered down figuring it was close. I took the phone off the charger yesterday at about 6:30am. I am not sure why wifi shows as 0% but I have been on wifi most of the day. I really liked the old Android battery screens better that showed wifi and cellular signal strength data as well.
From my experience the SOT is not even the problem. How is the standby battery consumption? The thing is I get 10 hours SOT on my Moto Z Play if I do a lot. BUT if I use the phone only lightly I'll still don't get more than 2 days battery life even though you would expect much more.

Ambient features, how often your weather / email ect sync, how strong your cell signal is, how often your connected to WiFi instead of 3g/4g, and location services all affect stand by time.

Yeah I know but the thing is: compared to standby times of my iPhone 7 Plus the Pixel XL 1 standby was a joke.
I have installed basically the same apps on both devices. So I just hope that Android will finally catch up with Android 8, because up to now all Google initiatives to have better battery life were pretty bad.
That's why I would be interested to hear how this is going on the XL2.
This is going for 9+ hours sot!
Why can't I post pics? Says I don't have permission to post.

Mind sharing your settings/apps? I'm at the same percentage as you but barely getting 2hours sot :/ I don't think I have any battery draining apps installed besides instagram and snapchat. Maybe its standby drain? I lost almost 10% overnight (6 hours) and I'm not sure if this is normal.

You also have 10 hours more off the charger. I think that could easily result in the 1 hour difference in screen on time.
