Hi guys,
Background: I use my phone I'd say medium use. Clash of clans, videos and photos browsing, emails, whatsapp. But i hate to put anything off so 4G location bluetooth everything always on. My note 4 has been amazing with its removable battery allowing me to use a phone in this way amd has revolutionised the enjoyment i get out of it. No more switching on and off bluetooth or gps. No worries in the world. Now i need a new one with a big screen and decent enough cam and the only option with removable battery is the LG V20 which to be fair looks a decent phone. However I also see the Mate 9 and whilst it doesn't have removeable battery it has a sensible screen res and a 4000mah battery meaning it should last a full day no worries. And I prefer the faster Kirin 960 and the bokeh camera setup.
The issue: i was on the verge of ordering it when I came across techzillas 1 month review where basically trashes the battery. Yes he's a heavy user but he's comparing it to other phones which do better with his same use.
I don't understand. Is it his firmware? Has the issue been sorted? Is the battery not that great afterall? Id be buying from wondamobile so id be getting whatever international rom they use. Shall I just play it safe and get the lesser V20 if I'm going to keep all things on?
For me it seams that with the b156 firmware the battery is not as good as before. But still excellent I use my phone a lot and most of the time I manage a full day with out charging. I get around 8 hours screen time. I never play games on my phone but use it mostly for productivity and browsing. Occasionally I watch some movies , YouTube and listen to tidal.
Most of the time I use very low brightness as I prefer this for reading.

Ah.. I'm new to this of concept of SOT. I don't know how it works. I can't imagine anyone sitting there staring at their phone literally for 8 hours! I work in the day and use it every now and then there, then when home when the wife isn't having a spazz at me for daring to go on the phone I use it now and then for using Kodi remote and youtube etc... I don't know how much screen on time that'd equate to.
Do you keep all things like bluetooth and GPS and 4G on or do you have to be careful with it like with all my old phones in order to get a full day? With my Note 4 as I say a breath of fresh air that I could keep everything on and just change battery once I got home.
Everything is on, during the day I mostly use 4G. The reason I get between 6 and 8 hours is because I have to do a lot of emailing and maintaining appointments etc for my work and blackberry hub is so good in emailing (mush better than the outlook my company uses) I use my phone for that instead of my laptop. Also I do lots of reading both work an pleasure related.
If i have slow days I can manage two days on one charge easily. In short the mate 9 has an excellent battery. I'm never thinking about the battery as I did with my old phones it seems to be even better than my old BlackBerry Passport
It's the best battery life of any phone I have used. Mine is on 4g all day with GPS and bluetooth always on.
My previous best phone was the Note 4 that I had to charge every night. I only have to charge the Mate 9 on alternate nights however hard I use it.
I have other issues with the Mate 9, but the battery is certainly not one of them.

Wow ok that's surprising. No idea what this techzilla dude is on about then on youtube. He seems quite an honest and credible chap so I wonder if it's firmware related or perhaps he got a dud.

As above, I'm surprised it's this good after the techzilla trashign of the battery on youtube. You wouldn't know yur firmware would you?
What are your issues with it? I hear low light cam performance isn't excellent but it isn't great with my Note 4 either and I can't imagine it's ever satisfactory with the size of lens you can get on any phone. I'm looking to use the Bokeh effect for nice pics of my daughter, is this bit at least working well?

It certainly seems from what you guys are saying that this beast will live from morning to evening without even needing a charge for my sort of use even with everything on. Sounds really awesome and might have swung be back into getting this over the V20 again.

I'm on L29C432B156. I haven't noticed any loss of battery life after two upgrades.
I think I have to most recent one. All I can think of maybe the guy plays allot of games or has some rogue app on his phone eating all the battery life. In any case most reviews are positive about the battery so if one dude that dislikes it does sound like an isolated incident.

Yeah the more I look into it the more I think this is the case.
He seems like a nice decent likable chap who I'm assuming doesn't have a bias either way. But according to his "heavy use", when people say they're getting much better battery than his alleged figures he defines in his comments his heavy use as:
" i stream music from Spotify, watch YouTube, i have 5 email accounts syncing constantly, i get around 1000 emails an hour, 7 to 800 Telegram msgs an hour, fb,twitter, instagram, fb msg, /google Plus, snapchat, youtube studio, surfing the web, a couple of hrs phone calls, text messages, XDA, 500 Whats App msgs per Hour. This is how i test batterty life, and for me the Mate 9 can't deliver more than 6hrs SOT"
All I can say to that is WOW! Who on earth links five emails, gets 1000 emails AN HOUR, 100s of telegrams whatever they are, 500whatsapp messages PER HOUR (I mean that's one every 7.2 seconds!!!!). with loads of other stuff running and TWO HOURS of calls etc etc.. If doing all that with everything on he's getting 6 hours SOT then I can say I'm mightily impressed with it! Even heavy users wouldn't be be using it that much I'm sure. And if he can honestly say he gets the same SOT with iphones and samsungs with more powerful screens and smaller batteries all I can say is at worst I frankly don't believe it, at best he's got a dud Mate 9 or more likely all the aforementioned phones are awesome and we have nothign to worry about as 6 hrs SOT with a whatsapp message every 7.2seconds and an email every 3.6seconds plus all the other **** running is very respectable.
Personal experience over the Note 5. this thing kills battery life expectancies.
The Note 5 with:
BT ON Connected to huawei watch
GPS off
No Autosync
All apps killed
No calls
15 texts per day max
Packages disabled
1-2 hours of screen use tops
I Got maximum 13 hours. I get up every day at 8am and by 7-745 its nearly dead doing next to nothing. Android will not sleep and samsung refuses to accept its their software. My Mate 9, buds Moto Z play both on tmobile never have issues. he gets 8-9 hours screen time i get 8-9 hours screen time charge once every 2-3 days.
My Settings are EXACTLY the same with the exception of:
BT off when not using my Sony M1000x headphones.
300+ textsPer day.
No calls
Checking FB via Metal for FB
Email in Gmail 5-6 times a day
Camaro Forums via chrome browser
Instagram
Spotify + many more apps
And i never have issues. Granted i exchanged it because the B156/157 idk which one ruined battery. i have a B138 fw now and it works flawlessly. Its pathetic samsunbg phones barely make it through the day even when NOT used. Im dropping samsung and sprint very soon.
@applehater00
If your main consideration is battery life I do not think you will be disappointed.
But for what it is worth I will tell you the points I do not like about the Mate 9.
The vibration is very weak.
The notification light is tiny and almost invisible except in the dark.
The GPS is poor and no good for sports use.
There are various problems with notifications and some email apps don't work properly.
All these problems are discussed in this forum.

Strange though because people are saying the B156 one is fine. Opposite to your experience.
Maybe the battery just goes crazy and dies at some point?

The GPS is fine for ordinary driving use, and it gets a fix very quickly. But there are some serious issues that Huawei aren't mending.
Read through this thread for details. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/gps-problems-stats-reports-t3508213
Sorry I can't help you with gmail as I don't use it on this phone.
Right now I have 89% left, 10 hours active, 33 mins SOT. I think I got 7h SOT yesterday and still 50% left.
Compared to my Note 4 which barely lasts 12 hours, and that's idle time.

Thats disappointing. I may wish ti get back into cycling and if it cant track my ride accurately it sounds like a dud. How ridiculous! Just as i was about to buy one another problem pops up.
I wonder if huawei just aren't ready for making phones...!
It's a shame, yes. There are of course many good things about the Mate 9. They just let it down on a few things.
my mate 9 gets 9-10 hours of heavy use - granted i have some mods and tweaks

I got my Nexus 5 on Monday and have been pretty happy with it so far. Today was the first day I actually had to be away from WiFi for the day and the battery life has stunned me with how poor it has been. I haven't seen battery drop so fast since I had my Desire HD. I took it off charge about 9am and at just after 8pm as I type this I'm down to 10% with under 2 hours screen on time. 100% to 10% in around 10 hours with less than 2 hours screen use.
Has anyone else had this poor battery life? I'm going to let it run down completely, install GSam and see if it happens again but from what I've read on a few reviews (The Verge was the main one) this seems to be almost normal. I would be unhappy with battery life this bad after two years, not two days.

The good battery apps like BBS are broken on KitKat.
But your battery life is not normal. Mine is quite good, about what I would expect. For reference, my GS3 would use 0.2-0.4% per hour while idling during the night. I can't get real numbers or monitor wakelocks on this phone yet. But so far, seems at least somewhat similar to that.
Use Greenify.

We can't really answer about your phone without knowing your usage habits. I mean, what you posted doesnt seem bad, especially if you're in a crappy signal area or play games.

A brief summary of my brief usage. I haven't played any games at all since I got the phone and the only usage has been social network apps and very light browsing of around <20 minutes. Oh and I made a call that lasted around 15 seconds. Everything else is stock setup. I have unlocked the bootloader but I did that prior to setting it up due to it wiping everything in the process.
Basically I've used it as much as I'd use my Nexus 4 and that wouldn't see so much as a 30% drain by now. The only thing that I am looking at as a possible cause is that the phone defaults to wanting 4G only. I'm not on a 4G plan or in a 4G area but even with that Mobile Standby is only showing 4% battery use. Suffice to say I switched that to 3G when I saw it just before posting. As I said, I'm going to drain it completely then charge to full and watch it very closely but I wanted to get thoughts while I waited.
I have contacted Google to see if there are any known issues that have popped up but the response I got just suggests turning off practically everything! Why would I opt for a powerful phone just to turn off sync, location services and anything that makes it a smartphone? The baffling one to me is suggesting I switch to AIRPLANE mode if I'm not near WiFi! I didn't buy a WiFi only tablet, I bought a phone!
"If you know you won’t be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane mode"
I have been very pleasantly surprised with the battery life with my Nexus 5, I have noticed however that Google Location service likes to use battery power, more importantly - GPS - way too much..
However, I leave it on and even still it easily lasts me a day of use, with around 30-40% left depending on how much I use it.
What are your highest apps in the battery use screen?
Try turning off Google location services.
I am really pleased with battery life. Around 30-40 % left at end of day.

I saw similar with the Nexus 4 but refused to switch off location services and it seems ok. I've attached screenshots just taken. It seems I was a little off with my browsing estimate which shows 36 minutes in Chrome but still hardly astronomical.
OK so far the general opinion seems to be that it's just me. That helps me eliminate the phone and / or battery just being awful so thanks guys.
I'm at near 11 hours and am at 69%.. with an hour screen time. Not great but it easily gets me through the day. By the time I plug it in tonight it will probably have 20-30% and 3 maybe 4 hours of OST. That's more than enough for me
I should mention I have location off.. and only turn it on if I'm going to use the GPS
I also have Google Now off I don't need those flash cards to tell me how long it's going to take me to get home.. it's useful sometimes but I rarely look at em.
I'm pleased with my battery so far.. for the super heavy user they definitely wouldn't get a day.. but for me I'll get it easily.
its been pretty terrible for me with identical setups as other devices.
it has me seriously contemplating going back to my htc one. overall i do love the phone tho so hopefully I get a better idea when betterbatterystats is updated.
Few things with battery thats annoying me is google services kill this phone worse than any other ive owned. Even with google now disabled and location disabled. Also my daily drive to work I always use waze w/ screen on. With my other phones (htc one / n4 / iphone 5) i generally lose between 10-15% battery. On this phone im easily losing 25%.
I have access to charging so not a huge deal for now. Its a new os update so maybe it will get ironed out.

you are forgetting you are having a full HD and quad core phone now.
Ahh you got that google services bug eh.. that will kill any battery
Despite not wanting to I did a factory reset and installed a handful of apps, nothing that should cause issues anyway. When I got to Twitter though just after installing I noticed two warning notifications crop up that I remember just dismissing without thinking last time.
com.google.android.gsf.login
com.google.android.calendar
Both state they need installation of Google Play Services. I've ignored them for now so it'll be interesting to see if they have anything to do with it. I know the screen is going to be using more battery than I'm used to when it's on and notice that in battery use it's just everything else.
Friday will be the ultimate test of sorts. I've disabled WiFi, I'm charging it up and have disabled a few location things I don't care about. If it goes down hard again then it's going back.

I don't think what you're getting is that out of the ordinary. Between screen time and cell reception (the largest contributors to battery life) you could easily be seeing 'normal' battery life.
Don't expect more than 3.5 hrs of screen time, especially if you have reception issues when not on WIFI. And I'm talking 'normal' computer/dev/IT guy usage (e.g. using the phone as it's intended aka using google now, using one or two emails with push sync, using music services occasionally and sparingly during a day, NOT running in airplane mode, not disabling a crapload of smartphone features).
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. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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.

This is exactly my biggest terror. I have a 6S+ and the battery is AMAZING (yes I had to capitalize it)
I miss being on Android and thought about getting a 6P but worried the battery life wont be good enough.
anyone have any rom/mods that makes the battery life last all day ?

This. Google Play Music destroys my battery more than Google Maps or any other app. Even when I am playing local file and not streaming it is horrendous. Google really needs to improve this, it is terrible for an app that is native to the device.

The days I don't use Play Music for more than two hours. I easily get through the day. Otherwise, it is a struggle.
Man that is depressing.. I was on my way to bestbuy to buy a nexus 6P but I guess not. Ill stick to my 6S Plus, it literally last ALL DAY, why can't Google get it right.
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.

This isn't just a Nexus thing. Every Android phone I've had Google Music drains it like their is no tomorrow.

I've never had Facebook or Snapchat on my phone so I guess that's why that hasn't been an issue for me.
I know its too early to tell yet, but id be really interested to hear how the battery is fairing up, I have the S10+ atm and really like the smaller Notes form factor, seems the perfect size for me. Ive compared my phone to the Note and it does feel like a downgrade in a few area's, but yeh really interested in the battery really. Thanks.

Battery life is mediocre at most, maybe 1 full day with medium use, nothing exceptional.
Yea I bought it. Was expecting a little more from it battery. I knew this would be an issue going into it but did t realize it would be so bare minimum.
I purchased the regular Note 10. I'm only on day 3. I'm happy with the battery life. The 1st day I used it I got between 5.5-6 hours SOT and that was mostly WiFi. I charged it and took it off the charger at 2am to see how it drained overnight. I woke up and it was at 95% after being idle for 7 hours. I went to work with the phone and my stats from yesterday was 4.5 SOT with almost 24 hours being off the charger.
I think I use the phone pretty regular. Most of my user is from YouTube and Netflix. With yesterday's use I watched the 1st half of the Jets vs Saints.
So far I think its a little better then Pixel 3. Thanks to my recent increased use and Pixel 3 I started freaking out and plugging in charger all the time, need to go back to normal use where you unplug in the morning and plug back in before bedtime.
Here are some screen shots of my user of the regular Note 10. I'm at almost 16 hours off the charger. It's 9:20pm here. The battery life is better than my S10. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, depending how the photos are for me trip will determine if this phone is a keeper. So far I'm happy.
Thanks for everyone's replies, I'll wait a bit until I bite the bullet and thats if I do. I'm happy with the s10+ battery, obviously it won't be as good as that but I'll wait to hear more info on it. Cheers.

Here is a comparison with mixed usage on both Notes https://youtu.be/IrX0rp_Bnbw
Iam feeling the same way. I have pulled the trigger on the plus model mainly because i got it at a good price, and for the bigger battery plus i kinda feel that it's the real note 10 and the smaller version just seems like a downgrade.
Iam having some regrets now though after handling both in person. I just much prefer the size of the smaller note 10 and iam telling myself that the battery should be good enough to last a full day which is all we need really. Expandable storage isn't an issue as 256gb is more then enough for most users (certainly for me)
Iam now tempted to return my plus model when it arrives even though deep down i love that on paper it's technically the superior device. I wish the smaller note had a bigger battery, quad HD screen and the depth sensing camera.
If they had of just made one model somewhere in the middle in terms of size with maybe a 6.5 screen it would have been perfect but oh well.
It's ironic too that most ppl love the idea of a bigger screen but how many of us actually take advantage of that and make use of it. Most of us use our phones to communicate with each other so why do we even need bigger screens? Nice to look at but that's kinda it or am i wrong?

Ehh media consumption? Many people play games too.
Well I couldn't wait any longer and have the regular Note 10 coming tomorrow. I still have my S10+. I just hope the battery doesn't spoil it for me. With my S10+ I never worry about the battery because its never let me down. But I love the size of the Note 10. Like alot of people have said its just a shame they had to strip it down so much compared to the Note 10 plus. Anyway I have 14 days to compare. I'm really excited to see how i get on, hope its not a let down. If it is then I'll wait on the S11 or even the next huawei phone. I had the Huawei Mate 20 pro just before the S10+ and it was great phone. I think I just like to try new things.
Best I've got yet
Image didn't show but it was
6hrs 21min SOT
14hr 8min on battery
That's not too shabby

What i mean is that there are a lot of people that crave a bigger screen but dont even take advantage of it when they have it! Some people dont need a bigger screen but want it anyway imo!

I don't have an image to post but I have gotten similar SOT and standby battery life as you have. I've been able to nearly squeeze 6.5 hours of SOT and got over 24 hours of standby time. I would get better if I didn't keep locations services on full blast all the time plus I have a few survey apps running at all times which also use location/data services so that dings my battery. If you aren't using those things it'll likely be even better. I am totally fine with this battery life.

Wow that's great. I keep Bluetooth active for my gear s3 but not location. What kind of settings are you using?
I have an exynos standard note and like the S10/S10+ before it I would describe battery as acceptable but IMO below par. What bugs me is that it drops at quite a steady rate just sitting there doing nothing, goes from 100 to 99% within a few minutes of coming off charge and continues on from there.
Overall on my Note 10 exynos, the battery is really good. You have to put apps you dont want running in the background to sleep.
AOD I set to tap to show + aodNotify app to wake it up with incoming notifications + edge lighting. Power savings mode when at 50%. Mostly on wifi, no gaming and some light youtube usage.
Hi, everyone!
I've been using Google''s cellphones since Nexus 4. For me, Nexus and Pixels are what a "real" Android phone should be. Until I bought the Pixel 3 XL.
The camera is great, the notch does not bother me at all. The body of the thing is nice. But there's is something that simply drive me mad and makes me fell like I will smash it on the floor any of these days.
The battery. The FREAKING BATTERY!
After almost a year since I bought the phone, the battery is the thing that I HATE SINCE DAY ONE! It's literaly garbage. As a normal user (don't have any kind of social network, except Whatsapp), I use the phone just for check e-mails, make some calls, some videos at YouTube, etc., and the phone barely holds until the end of the day WITH 4 HOURS OF SCREEN TIME, and look, IT TAKES ALMOST 2 HOURS TO CHARGE!
Updates came and go, and always the same [email protected]#$%% I have no other word to describe it besides this one. CRA!#$%%!#$
I've tried EVERYTHING, every tip on XDA and every relevant video on YouTube and NOTHING! Google's adaptative battery is HUGE lie. Digital Wellbeing as well. Finally, I tried to turn off the data and let only the wi-fi on and a miracle occurs. The phone sudenlly stops to drain 3/4% per hour in indle and pass to 0.5/1% per hour. The phone holds 52 hours with +/-4 hours os screen time with few minutes with data on (I live in a small town and everyplace that I go have Wi-Fi, only use data when I don't have).
This miracle lasted for a short time (12 days +/-). The drain stars again WITH THE DATA TURNED OFF.
To conclude, theres no tip, no tweak, no kernel, no custom ROM, no witchcraft, NOTHING THAT MAKES THIS INFERNAL BATTERY HAVE A DECENT LIFE! It's a crap! Googles sell us a crap with a crappy tecnology named as "adaptive battery".
Save yourselfs for a head ache. Do not spend mental health looking for solutions where there are none.
Sorry for all of these caps, but I really need to vent with someone.
Thank you for your time and let the ban hammer smash's my face!

I don't get it. I am not specifically referring to you, but to the continued obsession with battery numbers. I get that back in the day the batteries would swell, the chargers sucked and you expected to get at least 3 years out of a phone. I obsessed over battery stats for years, never let it go under 20% or over 80% and did every power saving trick ever to massage the numbers. Now, I unplug it in the morning after a reboot and full charge and plug it in before I fall asleep typically with between 30 and 50 percent after a normal pretty hard day of use (while limiting the things that are wasting my time with alerts). Once on and once off every day. I don't remember the last time I had to charge mid day.

It's not about the numbers. It does not get in my head the fact that a person who don't use social networks, don't use much data, don't play games at phone have a poor battery life like mine. I mean, the adaptative battery suppose to learn how I use my phone and spend life time according to my use. I'm not a heavy user, BY FAR! It's not ask too much for better life time. I mean, the phones suppose to evolve not to involute. This battery is the worst of the whole line. Since galaxy nexus until now. I'm very disappointed. Really. The point of my post is only to talk a a little with you guys, and, makes me fell better. I'm not searching for a solution, because it does not exists and I have to live with that.

I just don't see it getting better. The phones are expected to look, sound and feel so much better than they used to. The apps are garbage childish code for the most part, and the core code isn't much better. I just make the best of it now.
I consistently get 4-5 hours SOT with 20-24 hours standby and use social media apps and lots of data. Sounds like you need to fine tune your settings and check wake locks, my device is just as old

Prints or never happened. Don't think bad of me, but I simply can't trust you without proofs. Pixel made me a skeptic.
Like I said, I don't use social medias, don't play games. And what wakelocks/settings I suppose to check?
I can get 3 and a halfs days standby if i just unplug and leave it, not touching it at all. With moderate use , downloading and updating apps, twitter constantly tweeting, facebook constantly facebooking, periscope instagram, windows phone app for notifications on my pc from phone, batterlife flips between 2days 5 hours and 2 days 9 hours. If i was to make phone calls for 30 mins it would drop to 1 day 23 hours but soon goes back up. Just to note, when i first got the phone, i would loose 1to2% every few mins, resulting in 18 hours standby, did some research and my own diagnosis, i stopped it from doing it.
I wake up at 8am. I plug my phone into Android auto on the way to work, and I'm at work at 9am with a full charge.
I play Spotify on the shop radio until about 12:30 religiously every morning via wired cord.
I go-to lunch and browse social, watch some videos, and play a game or two (asphalt or td5).
Get back to work and turn on YouTube music or pandora for the rest of the work day while occasionally using camera and social.
I get off work and usually hop on the bike with my BT on. I usually get home around 10-11 after getting food/socializing/stunting with 15ish percent
I average probably about 4.5 hours SOT.
Settings report "full charge last about 23 hours, 15 minutes.
I recently used my Nexus for a bit, and left my pixel on the counter with no sim, only wifi connection. Phone went on 3 days standby.
My battery is nothing to complain about. You may just be a victim of the old "silicon lottery".
Im 99% sure after alot of diagnosis, it down to device health services not doing its job, it literally freezes why phone in stanby and starts to make the phone produce heat, you can tell straight away if your device is affected, by the heat after leaving it in stand-by.

You should RMA with Google. I recently have because I was having an early shutdown issue with my battery, but if you can prove it is your battery that is worse than others then Google can be understanding and send you a new one. Just fyi, I went through chat in the settings on my p3xl and only texted them. They were very accommodating and the RMA process was simple. Also my phone never takes longer than an hour to fully charge even from a low % with the cord that was shipped with the phone. Battery issues are a problem with Google phones.

The problem is that I live in Brazil.
It's too expensive RMA it. The taxes here in my country is too high. Waiting for the Pixel 4.
Ive already been using this phone since the first day you could buy it in Spain and yes, I know you can charge it in 40~ minutes, actually if you are at home there is no problem, all cool, but ive been leaving home two days in a row at 9:00, I put it in 60hz FHD and at 15:30 my battery already ran off... Yes, I use it, I use bluetooth, youtube, soundcloud, camera, etc... But I come from a One Plus 7 Pro and with 90hz config I could easily leave home at 9:00 and still have battery life at 23:00 or even 00:00 with a similar use. I really love all the other aspects of the phone, but this one screws my whole experience. Im really thinking about buying one plus 8T pro or iphone 12/12 pro when it comes out and sell this phone, I realised battery life is way too important for me, and I know I could use a portable battery to charge it in the street, but come on... Not gonna carry that in the pocket all the time. I'd like to know your impressions about this topic guys, thank you so much.

Mmm using it? Or in the pocket and looking it barely 3 or 4 times, man, i dont want to doubt it but sounds strange to me... Ive been looking for people screen times and no one gets that many screen time hours at 120hz QHD+... You have brightness at the minimum maybe? What firmware version you got? Thank you
Battery life is not good I would be honest. Never lasted me a day if I play games now even a half day.
Oppo have done amazing working tuning the display, far more superior than the OnePlus 8 Pro, I leave my house at 10am & return at 6-7pm, consistently with 20%+ left, on QHD, 120hz, using social media apps, banking, NFC, Bluetooth, music & 5G on at all times (other than when WiFi is available)...
In short battery life is amazing for me, Oppo nailed the optimization :good:
Awful battery life
Oppo needs to improve the battery life of Oppo find X2 pro ASAP !!!!
Max 4 hours of SOT is really bad !
I reported this problem to the German oppo customer service one week ago but still no response !
The battery life of OnePlus 8 pro after the latest update has improved the battery life (6-8 hours of SOT).
Oppo just do something you're selling a smartphone that is more expensive than iPhone pro max !!!!
I'm a super heavy user that plays many games, even heavy 3D games like Mortal Kombat Mobile for many hours, while playing videos over YouTube Vanced picture in picture sometimes, too.
No matter what I do, even when I brainlessly put the brightness as high as Mt. Everest, where it would burn every vampire to death and constantly playing Mortal Kombat Mobile over 5ghz WLAN, the phone keeps its accu power. 4:14h of constant playing MK (99% SOT) was the worst one losing 71% accu and that was with death ray burning brightness instead of normal or low brightness (which is actually 'normal' brightness on this display).
The longest run with heavy usage (37% SOT) was 18:05h where it lost 97% accu and the longest run with normal usage (24% SOT) was 18:29h where it lost 55% accu... That's with Global latest version (2025.11A24), standard settings, dark mode, location on, always-on-display, bluetooth+NFC off, energy saving @20%, 120hz+3k, Microsoft SwiftKey with black theme and using accu killers like Facebook, graphic-heavy games, YouTube and stuff...
So whatever you do, you are doing it wrong or something you installed is keeping your phone awake, when your phone can't handle a few hours without using it... Maybe you are simply 'think' you handle it right, but using it in an extreme way like graphic-heavy gaming with full brightness on top of that and think that's normal use. Normal use is sometimes phone someone, write a few messages every hour, look on the clock, play a game for maybe 30 minutes or searching for something special and reading a few news - that's 'normal usage' that doesn't really puts the battery in stress. Even when you are a long runner that writes 12 hours in one action (like I do), your display won't mess up the battery and you have enough battery to get over the day...
What you should do:
>Lower the display brightness (somewhere around the sun in the bar is 'normal' brightness and it really gets dark first around 5% brightness in the night)
>use dark mode for all apps
>put Facebook and Instacrap in normal state - especially Facebook is well known for killing battery life, while not using it (apps>facebook>don't start automatically + don't allow in background). These apps getting worse and worse from year to year.
>no automatic updates in Google Play (developers are just making frequent updates to stay in the top list of Google Play, that's why it doesn't make sense to have it on auto-update, because it kills your battery, overstresses electric facilities and never touch a running system if it ain't getting faster or better. Only update when something is 'not' working!)
>always charge your battery between 20-70% if you want it to live 'always' like Bon Jovi and Erasure, only make a full charge when you 'really' need it and never charge over night. Better: install an app like 'AccuBattery' that helps you with that (since the phone has 2 accus its normal max mah will be around 2055mah, but will function normal like it has the double).
>take off Bluetooth and NFC - they are accu killers and you don't need it anyway, while an open NFC is the best way to let you pay everyones bills, when you are in the city and hold their device near your phone. Just use NFC when you are temporarily need it.
get 4 hours SOT at least an hour gaming. And after 14 hours of the day i still have 40% left. I reckon it's one of your apps causing the problem. Install GSAM and use ADB to grant it access and find out what the problem is.
How can I grant permission via adb? It doesn't seem to work with the app's commands. Adb Devices indicates that it is connected, but the commands result in an error message. Must I be special activate in the developer settings, except usb debugging?

Disable permission monitoring in developers settings.
I get this error message, despite new adb drivers
Now the ad is like that?!
A restart fixed the problem, thx

Oppo needs to improve the battery life of Oppo find X2 pro ASAP !!!!
Max 4 hours of SOT is really bad !
I reported this problem to the German oppo customer service one week ago but still no response !
The battery life of OnePlus 8 pro after the latest update has improved the battery life (6-8 hours of SOT).
Oppo just do something you're selling a smartphone that is more expensive than iPhone pro max !!!!

I have already contacted oppo I have to send the phone to the service it will take around 2 weeks to be repaired. A replacement would be the best but oppo isn't apple !
Another issue with the phone is that under the sun the fingerprint sensor is unusable.
I think I'll go back to OnePlus 8 pro or even to iPhone pro max. Its battery is amazing!!!

I just uninstalled facebook, who cares, no one uses facebook nowadays lul, I never use it, only instagram, thank you all.
Personally I get between 6.5 and 8hrs SOT (6.5 if gaming and 8 if not)
I use FHD, 120Hz, Auto Brightness.
I have fine tuned settings, turned off wifi and bluetooth scanning, have location off if not used, same with BT and Data.
As for the fingerprint reader, it's pretty good but as like all Oneplus phones with the same scanner, it's hit or miss sometimes.
Therefore I use face unlock which works with Google pay and works 100% of the time even with my face mask on.
Now if only I could get a decent Gcam and June security patch.

Coming from a Xiaomi Mi 10 with its 4700mah battery and 1080p 90hz screen, the battery life on the oppo has been abysmal.
I use auto brightness and I'm indoors 90% of the time so my brightness is really low.
The same usage on the Mi 10 would give me 10 hours SOT but the Oppo barely gives 5 hours SOT. This usage is mainly Google play books, social media, and Google Chrome.

Sounds like a rogue app or faulty device, I'd recommend getting in touch with Oppo for a replacement
