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%.

Screen on time

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 Huawei Nexus 6P before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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 ?

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

Where is the obligatory battery thread? So far, day one. Just under 2 hours sot and 53% left. Not great. Android OS showing 350mah usage which is horrible so I'm hoping it was just syncing and stuff

Yeah, that's probably all it was. After I synced everything and set up my phone,I recharged it. Now I'm sitting at 50% with 3hrs SOT and I was playing Eternium: Mage and Minions for about 1:15hrs of that. Pretty impressed, personally, compared to my N5X.

Coming from 2013 Nexus 5 as my daily driver where 2hrs of Screen time meant battery is at 4%.
I should be fine when my Pixel arrives tomorrow.
Felt spoiled with Note 7 , although that affair didn't last long.*

Off the charger 3 hours, Android OS at 200mah. Grr
Not particularly impressed with battery here - 37 minutes of SOT on 6 hours off charge and I'm at 71%. WhatsApp Web is running but I haven't done anything intensive.
I'm hoping the battery life picks up on mine over the next few days. 5 hours off charge with a bit of app setup (just configuration, the installs were already done) and about half an hour of photography left the phone at 50%.
I'll give it a little bit more time to settle before I panic and return it for a Pixel XL

This is a very important thread and please all report truthfully. It doesn't do anyone any good when there rouge posts come in with 6 hrs SOT with 20% left. I am on the fence between the Pixel and the XL I was pretty sure the battery life would be suspect with the regular Pixel. Pretty much the same thing that happened with the Nexus 5X and the 6P. 6P was much better. Keep the posts coming please.

I would like to see some screen shots of battery life after a week of use. One day doesn't make the battery life. The battery life is what will be the deciding factor for me. I have the S7 and I'm happy but I'm also a phone hore and I always want the latest and greatest. I ordered the phone from Google and it's not expected until Thanksgiving, but if I hear great things over the next few weeks, I made get it on my Verizon account.

What is a good SOT? I am getting 5-6 hours and that's way better than my 6P (3-4 hours) but people here are implying thats not very good? I am very impressed with my battery, I am an extremely heavy user and would never have expected 5.32 hours on this last charge with wifi on, and also location and Bluetooth on always.

Is that straight through, or over a day? I can get 6 hours SOT if I'm going straight through like on Netflix.
That's over a day, I plugged in with 5℅ left and I didn't charge it overnight but used it heavy last night and this morning...only dropped 1℅ overnight

Maybe has to do with syncing? See if there are any syncing errors in Settings>Accounts. In any case, try a reboot.

I am at 140 mah after 4hrs since near full charge. So lining up to be ~500 mah after 12-14 hours.
My screen on time is 2.5hrs at 383 mah so far.
Sitting at 68 % battery level.

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!

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.

Pretty solid screen on time binge watching stranger things season 2. Honestly I think I could get another hr or more still with 22% left.

Any other Exynos users getting much below the average quoted SOT?

I'm on day 2 of using my UK Note 20 Ultra and the battery life is leaving a lot to be desired. Today I'm currently sitting at 49% battery with 1 hour 30 minutes screen on time. I'm using it very lightly as I'm mostly desk based while working.
I know the phone is still "Learning usage patterns" but this seems very little usage to be sitting below 50%. Is anyone else seeing similar?

similar scenario for me unfortunately, i got 3 hours SOT which bought it down to 14% before i charged. Will give a week or so to see if it improves before deciding to return it or not.
Yeah you need to give it time and completely discharge the battery before charging again
Same Uk Model, its been absolutely appaling.. the things also getting too hot all the time doing basic stuff but forcing the dim screen. I'm really not too happy with this so far.. just had an update so maybe this will improve things... though as above gonna give it a week or so to see if things settle down.

Same here this thing gets super hot, just light browsing socials the screen gets warm. Just typing this out had lost me 1%. Have you got bad standby drain also? Mines terrible with absolutely nothing running. Samsung are theives not upgrading the chipset in this phone but giving the US brand spanking new Snapdragons?
Today was my 1st day using the note 20 ultra at work and I also had below par battery life, got around 2.5 hours sot during a 12 hour shift at the end of which the battery was below 10%, phone was on medium/low brightness using lte with low reception and my phone also got warm to the touch when browsing.
It takes about a week or more to settle for sure but these early reports are looking really bad @ the Exynos especially in terms of batterylife and unusual heating.
I ended today on 13% battery with 2hrs52mins SOT. Also find the phone gets extremely hot when doing basically anything for an extended period. Can't see me keeping this past the end of the first week, there's so much ground it would have to make up.
should i pull the trigger ? i can save mad money on the exynos version
i mean roms will be amazing for it
which can help it
Overnight about 8h now use battery dropped 12%
I'm not an exynos fan but getting 4:30 SOT and no heat at all. I haven't opened any games yet though just installed them
Just done a rolling video test with the Note 8 and Note 20 ultra. Both on full brightness playing the same set of files.
The Note 8 display is brighter and more colourful. After 3 hours or so the Note 20 ultra has 82% left and the Note 8 has 76%
If you look at the difference in battery capacity (4500 vs 3300) and the difference in screen size then I would say the Note 8 performs better even with the brighter display.
Im currently on snapdragon, but my s10+ was exynos and I never had this drain you guys are experiencing. This is unacceptable. I hope you guys can figure it out.
Remember the battery takes a couple of days to "learn your usage"
I never trust those marketing gimmick said it will learn your usage and batt life will improves... Just put all apps you did not use into deep sleep and frequent use into sleep. That give me 6 to 7 hours SOT 120hz with 10% left
4th day in Exynos. Phone has been on for 3 hours, 45 mins SOT consisting of browsing socials, no apps running in background 75% battery remaining ? This is terrible, can't see it getting better....
This is mine...
I'm getting about the same as my Note 10+. Moderate use all day and still have 30 to 40% left. So I'm happy.

Johnny... please show us some new stats. Will it work around 15 hours with normal/medium usage? I'm afraid this battery... just battery ;/
Hi,
Normal/medium usage is different for everyone.
All I can say, is I was worried about be the battery size, but it has got me through the day just fine.
Depending on what apps I'm using and light gaming, I've been getting around 3.5 to 4.25 hours of screen on time.
I've averaged 16-22 hours of use even with my smart watched connected for around 6 hours a day.
We have to remember though, this is an early software version, so may improve over time.
For now battery life is very disappointing for me. Came from pixel 5 when I could leave the house with half the battery left and not worry. However, I am sure this can be improved but need some suggestions based on the below. I have google play services and carrier services that are draining quite a lot. Any idea how to pin those down/improve?
EDIT: clearly me being stupid after too much work. that's usage over the last 7 days and not 24 hours.... still battery life for me leaves something to be desired for now. I do lots of calls for work. after taking off the charge at 7am, I had to plug the phone back in at 6pm. will report towards end of the week to see if anything improves
Any news after few days of using?
Horrendous for me still after clearing caches and even turning off location. Google play services is at the top.
I need to charge twice a day. Comparing to Note 20 Ultra it's very disappointing. I am thinking about returning my Flip.

Yea. Mine lives on the charger. I get better life from my Galaxy Book. I'm assuming this will be fixed. I've seen a couple cases where people said they had better life on the Fold than note.
Had the Flip 3 for just over a week now.
Battery for me was acceptable yesterday, fair amount of camera use (mainly on 4G), and today so far is decent (mainly WiFi). At 80%, with 50mins SOT.
the only thing that did it for me was turning off 120hz refresh rate. sticking with 60hz visually hurts but it improves battery life a lot. it is now capable of getting me through the whole day easily and lasting around 24hrs. SOT is around 3 hours.

Wow. Are you heavy user?
Latest after going for a walk to get some beer, and I know it's sad . Did some Pokémon Go on the way.

No, more a moderate user. A couple of short WhatsApp video calls, 20 text message, some light gaming, 20-30 photos, and maybe 30-60 mins on Chrome.
I have 2 accounts for Google/Gmail syncing.

Not terrible for me . It's not the best, but good enough for me. Gets me through the day, even when on the mobile network.
I have some back ground Sammy apps disabled like Bixby.
It has definitely improved over the last couple of days.
screenshot attached now. again, this is with 60hz only.

Could try the app in the mods section, set it to 96 refresh rate.
I'm going to give it a go, and try setting it up with 96Hz, and 48Hz idle.

thanks, I will give it a go in about a week. just want to see a little more how it deals with my regular working week when I am always on the phone. will post later once i've checked that.
why 96 though and not 90?

90 not available, 48, 60, 96 and 120 are the options
Am I the only one losing 30 percent after an hour of SOT? Not even using the big screen? Almost all apps are asleep too. Absolutely nuts. I'm gonna have to carry a battery with me if I ever take this on vacation. It can't last a work day. I hit 30 percent before 11am from 85.
