Honor 8 on Nougat battery life without rooting, custom roms and tweaks?

I've asked this question before but I'm having a hard time choosing between Honor 8, Honor 9 and iphone SE (yeah I know ) so please help me out. Many reports of bad battery life on Nougat so I'm worried before making the jump.
How is your battery life with latest update on Nougat? I mean without rooting, greenify or other tweaks. How's standby time with wifi on and background data always on?
Thanks a lot!
I would not go for the iPhone. The iPhone has an awful display and is not too fast. The Honors are both pretty good. Honor 9 is better than Honor 8, but Honor 8 is still pretty amazing. I haven't had any battery issues myself, so idk what is all this fuss about.
OnePlus 5T. Everything is better, except SD card support and IR.

Honor phones are realy good, I have before both Honor 8 and 9. Im selling both and buy P10 plus. Because, I want better camera. Honor 8 is amazing device and receive Oreo but we ned wait. Honor 9 have already Oreo. Camera quality is same H8 and H9. H9 have just 20Mpx (I dont see any different betwen H8 and H9 quality. I was realy sad for this. In 5. december will launch new Honor phone I think will be Honor 9 pro.
So Honor 8 (except procesor) is same like 9 but maybe cheaper. I suggest u buy Honor 8 or Honor 8 pro or wait for Honor 9 pro. I dont recommend to buy Honor 9, from my experience I cant
edit: battery life on Nougat is depend which model u want buy EU and US model have good battery

Sorry but 12 hours is still too low, unless you are eating up the battery playing games and using GPS all the time. Powerful processors should also be power-efficient. I don't think the processor in Honor 8 is inefficient because by all accounts battery life was fine on Marshmallow, so either Huawei messed something up in Nougat or the quality of the batteries in some units is so bad that they degrade a lot within the one-year mark, which coincides with the time of the Nougat update. Looks are irrelevant to a discussion of battery life.

Well maybe not that bad then, if you are a heavy user. Anyway if you are happy with your device congratulations. Oh and Samsung is crap. HTC sadly is rapidly spiralling down to nonexistence.

note8 to op6?

want to change my note 8 with op6 but I'm scared because people on xda is telling it has a huge overnight battery drain.. it's almost like 10-15% ..
look my Samsung galaxy note 8 is full of bloat and I want to taste a stock alike phone...but i lose only 2-3% overnight with this bloated phone...but op6 is almost stock..then what's causing this drain? i saw Reddit and op forum almost every one is facing this problem..i used 5t and it had same issue like this... that's whyvi returned.. please suggest me...
hope i didn't show any attitude or disrespect anybody... ?
I have come from Note 8 to OP6 two days back. Battery is way way better than note 8. I have been on Note 8 since 7-8months and battery is very awful.
I'm on note 8 too, and the oneplus 6. Been doing some testings, OP 6 is far better in battery and optimize .
And in a few weeks our so, there will be down-clockable and up clockable kernels out there to improve voltage usage and much more.
Oneplus 6, is far better when it comes down to battery.
I have a note 8 and a 5t. I rarely used the note 8 over the 5t because of the battery and lag. The OnePlus 6 has been performing the same as the 5t to me so far. The other day I was able to get almost 10 hours without charging at 60% battery left on the OnePlus 6. So my note 8 will continue to be unused.
When I sleep, I just turn WiFi and Mobile data off...
And the drain is hardly 1-2%, if that.

No, and depends what you want. Op6 feels like a $2-300 phone. Speaker, camera etc are honor 7x territory. Updates can help but hardware is hardware.
Updates and oem support OnePlus wins vs any Samsung.
I'm getting close to 6hrs of sot valid note with 4-5hrs sot. I personally could give 2 craps, as I have access to chargers and such. Both gets me through the workday. This is op6 without tweaks vs note 8 with qhd resolution and everything left on. Trade off is minimal. Everybody has fast charging.
I miss my note 8. Op6 is smooth. It will be a slight downgrade overall besides speed and battery life. It's a 1080p panel with stock Android.

I've used all OnePlus devices including OnePlus one..that was one of my most favourite devices
OnePlus 6 - Speed, Battery, Quick updates, Stupid fast charging, Stock android
Note 8 - HD Screen, amazing camera, waterproofing, wireless charging, feature overload
I've love watching videos and media on the OnePlus 6. The battery just freaking last. I've gotten 7-8 hours SOT between Youtube, Youtube TV, Netflix, Prime Video and other general use(my table is getting cold as I haven't touched it since the phone arrived). It took a few charges to get the max out of the battery but Dang I have NEVER had a phone like this(at first it wasn't as impressive but it did change). I am coming from the S8 btw. Which wouldn't last half the time as this phone with SOT. And it is a beastttttt. Nothing slows it down.

That is not accurate. They did not pay for the certification so all we can assume is it will survive splashes. In fact another YouTube put it in his pool where IP67 would survive and it filled up with water and bricked his phone. Watch it here

Hi,
I just got a Pixel3 from a p10, which was not a bad device. The fact is that security updates and os versions are pushed with some significant delay.
So far, I'm totally satisfied with the P3.
Hope this helps...

Depends on what's your normal use... Fist week, with battery optimizer on, battery might seem weak... After a couple of days, it seems to stand longer... Full day of use fir me... Couple of sms a day, Spotify 5-6 hours, not much gaming and news reading... I'll check SOT and give you feedback later...

Yes, for me it is. I came from a 3 years old HTC10, with a battery that had only ~70% capacity left, where I had 2.5-3hours of SOT. I had to charge the damn thing twice per day...

For me as a heavy social media user (Whatsapp, snapchat, Instagram, etc) the battery is normally between 4 and 5 hours sot. So if you don't use those battery heavy apps I could imagine 7 hours.
I'm on 90hz and 1440p.
Battery has been very good with normal usage and not a concern of mine.
Lol battery you shouldn't be worrying about at all

Is it normal for the phone to heat?

Hello, I just purchased my Xperia 5 II but I'm having some issues, such as battery drain and overheating. If I'm using my phone for an hour let's say with the 120hz mode on, the phone will heat at 40 degrees, and I don't know if it's normal or not...Also, in order to fix the battery drain, I need to disable 5G
yes it's normal specially if your phone has glass back cover since glass is not good heat conductor ...
