Khalid,
I have a feeling B511 is equally good if not not slightly better. I really haven't done any extensive testing though. I get close to 48 hrs of moderate usage with 4g on with close to 10 hr SOT with B511. I didn't measure it while I was still on B326. Yes, the shortcuts dragdown menu on LP was so much better than on MM. What else do you think is better with B326.?

I have a MT7-L09 and I get above 9.5 hrs regularly in smart mode and 50% brightness. I'll attach a screen shot once I get to 5%. If you get less than this on B326, you might wanna upgrade.

Some more screen shots attached. 9+ hrs of sot, with 10% charge left.

No data connection, no wi-fi so it's possible.

It's quite possible with data/wifi on as well. I had either one of them on most of the time.

My latest screen shots on B511, with moderate usage, with either 4g or wifi on while I was awake.

How in the world is anyone getting that much SOT with 4g? My maximum ever recorded was 8 hours and that was in the first week fresh out of the box. My Mate 7 gets about 3-4 hours of SOT on the new marshmallow emui 4.0. Software is not the problem, i've got a minimal amount of apps installed and I only use the web based version of facebook.

Maybe it's got something to do with my usage. I did make a concious effort to increase the SOT to see how far it can go with moderate usage. The display brightness was set to below 50%. I'd switch to Ultra power saving before going to bed and whenever I was too busy to be looking at Whatsapp. Additionally I'd kill whatsapp before putting the phone away and would check back for messages once or twice every hour. 4G only at work, and on the way to work, at home it's always wifi. No facebook, I uninstalled the app. No games, or screen mirroring, no more than 30 minutes of video playback. Bulk of the SOT was for Whatsapp and for web browsing. I found APUS browser to be the most power efficient.
Apart from the above I rooted my phone and installed Greenify, and I think it's doing a pretty good job at putting my phone to sleep minutes after I put it down. This feature works only on MM because it makes the inbuilt dose feature work more aggressively.
I admit that killing whatsapp every time I put the phone away is not something I'd be able to sustain, moreover it beats the whole purpose of whatsapp if you are only intermittently online. Whatsapp in indeed power hungry. Once I go back to using the phone normally, I think I'd still get close to 8 hrs of SOT, something I am sure most other folks should also be getting. An upgrade from KK to MM as in your case is not expected to cause reduced battery backup. In my experience both MM and LP have significantly better battery backup compared to KK. You might want to take a closer look at what is consuming the battery using the inbuilt battery management tool within settings.

ok here is my contribution,
updated 2days ago, battery drops 1% each 10 minutes while screen is on, i am not using any power intensive apps only whatsapp & IMO
during standby 1% drops each hour
see screen shots 5 hours with screen on 59% gone

Honor 6x Sleep takes 1% battery

Hello,
I am the new owner of a Honor 6x and the phone is absolutely great but i cannot have a decent sleep. It loses minimum 1% per hour.
This night, from midnight to 6AM, i've went from 54% to 48%, that sounds enormous...
Power saving mode is enable.
Phone has already been resetted.
I also updated last night to nougat.
I am in 3G since 4G is knowing to consume a lot, had this also on my previous phone.
Compsumption Level are Android system 20.85%
Android OS 12.76
Hardware side are Screen 21% and PHone Idle 7%
If i uses the 6x continuesly, i get easily 6SOT i don't know how to avoid loosing so much during sleep.

Thx, i am now performing a new factory reset for Nougat.
Wifi off when screen off is applied
Mobile network have been remained on but i do now change them in 2G.
I close all apps manually before closing screen.
I've tested and lost 1% in one hour with NO data and NO wifi..., the screen has been just very shortly checked 4 times...
I will compare after the reset.
Thanks.

By default, EMUI will kill a lot of background apps during sleep, so you shouldn't experience much battery drain. A factory reset may help you.

You can try apps like Greenify. It will help.

This is all because of the Nougat update.
Nougat update is draining battery faster than MM version.
Moreover officially Nougat has not been released for Honor 6X still.
Try to downgrade to MM for better battery.

Well u sound true , OP plz try to enable the option to close the apps automatically when screen off. Wil save much juice

Thanks, i saw everywhere else that closing apps in the background sound a good idea but is in fact asking more juice to the system.
I don't know what to think anymore.
i've did 6h14 SOT with about 55 minutes of gaming, brightness between 15-30 depending if outside or inside.
It seems that making full charging cycles (i've had the phone only since 3 days now ) is helping a bit.
Still, i am very far from getting 10 hours as i have seen in these forums

Well, 6h SOT is very good actually but, if people do get 10h is probably due to light usages!

No one with a 3,000mAh battery ever achieved 10 hrs of SoT. Even with the lightest of usage. 7 hrs and a half at max.

Do the math. Additional 340 only. 8 hrs, maybe even and a half. You can only do that if you take away the core Android processes, take away cell radio, take away touch screen inputs, and there you go. With 3340mAh you might even reach 24 hrs of display time. I don't care if you don't believe me.

39% and 3h30 SOT is good

I have been using various devices . Even redmi note 3 with 4000 mah battery dint saw 10hrs screen on time on any rom i tried . Even i build a kernel and a rom just for saving juice . Still i git approximately 8 and half hrs sot

Well I'm constantly getting 10+ hrs sot on my 6x from full charge to 10% i think with vids,gaming and manga reading alomg with music so the battery optimization on this is superb

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 Xiaomi Mi 5s before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

With LOS you can get 6-7 SOT, and I consider that very good.

On average I get 5 hour sot. I would give 3/5 for battery.

It's indeed about average for its class. But the quick-charging makes up a for a hell lot.

9 hours so far. Not bad I'd say. I'm using the official AICP ROM, battery set to efficiency, not rooted.

The fingerprint scanner is working fine on aicp bro?

With Miui 9? I can't do better than 3h 30m.
I tried beta, stable, RR. Situation is always the same.
With GSam when i call, sot is increase, but in Miui settings sot are less, why?
(sorry, if you don't understand, i try to write better)

MIUI 9.3 by xiaomi.eu 8.2.1 I get usually 6-7 hours SoT (mixed LTE and WiFi, auto brightness), I think it's pretty good

I am using the same rom. Unfortunately, I only get like 2-3 hours of SoT. Do you do a system reset every time you flash? Cause I've been upgrading the phone for a while now. Seems battery life gets worse and worse.

I did a clean flash 3 weeks ago, first flashed China Dev Fastboot, flashed TWRP, then xiaomi eu, wipe everthing without wiping system partition. After this, every update i clean dalvik and cache, that's all. Maybe you need to do similar procedure in your phone or your battery needs replacement, I reccomend Losoncoer's one, my mum is using their battery in Mi5.

Hello to everyone and i'm sorry for necroposting,
I have a problem with my MI 5s, i took with my rom (MIUI Global 8.4.19) and stock kernel only 2 hours of SoT, do you have some suggest for me for have better performance(no problem to change ROM or Kernel)? (when i bought this phone i had 6/7 hours of SoT) , i have already changed my battery with an original one 2 weeks ago.
Thanks.

Install AEX with the latest China beta firmware, Magisk and the app ForceDoze.

Thanks for reply, but I can't install china stable because in that rom there isn't my language (Italian), any other suggest? Those apps work with global too?

Hi,
After one year of usage my Mi5s gets around 3 hours of SoT. Doesn't matter which ROM I am using (RR, Atomic, Viper, LoS, XiaomiEu) plus latest firmware. I think the battery may be depleted. If this is the case this is kind of sad.
Those of you that are getting more than 5h of SoT: How old is your phone?
Does anyone have any recommendation for a new battery from aliexpress?
Thanks

You can test your battery and find out your real battery capacity with AccuBattery. (Get the free version from Google Play.)
I have 89% capacity (~2850Mah) and I have my phone since September 2017.

On AEX 5.5 rom, I get about 4.5 hours of screen on time.

1 year and a few months later. Now Replaced the Battery.
1 year and a few months later. Now I just replaced the Battery. I replaced it with a new one because battery is depleted Accubattery estimation is 1,880mah from 3,100mah. I get 2hrs-3hrs 30min of Screen on Time with the old battery. I will update this reply once I get what my battery SoT is with the new one. I am using LineageOS nightly(latest).

So, how did it went?

MIUI 10 and SOT under 6h?

Somebody reach 6h SOT with MIUI 10?

Easily

Definitely possible. At 76% battery now and 1½ hour screen on time. That's with some Spotify streaming with screen off as well as being outside for a bit in the bright sun with maximum brightness mixed with inside usage.

Maybe u can use Treble ROM like pixel experience...that have better battery life.

Why the hell? People are getting 6-8 hours, easily.

I hardly get 5h. Maybe people use their phone without 4G or Wifi enabled ?
I never got more than 5h SOT on any Android phone ( I had a OnePlus 3, ZUK Z2 Pro, LG G5

Pixel 5" Battery's life

I've been using my pixel with everything stock (not bootloader unlocked, android stock, no root) and i was able to get 3(heavy usage)-4 hours of screen, after the june patch im just getting around 2-3:30 hours, what can i do? Ive been reading about to try the Android Q beta 4, should i try to go there for better performance? Or downgrade to May patch? Or maybe should i start doing root, kernels and those things if yes, in your experience, how can i get the best perfomance?

I used to be in same situation while using android pie......i tried for many solutions like a custom kernel and custom rom, still i used to get a screen on time of less than 3 hours......finally when i shifted to Android Q beta, my Battery life increased to good level around 3.30 hrs to 4 hours.......Even in beta 4 also i am getting similar battery life, so i suggest you to shift to android Q beta 4

Keep in mind that unlocking the bootloader will wipe everything, so be prepared. If you're willing to do so, I suggest at least unlocking the bootloader, even if you don't plan on rooting. This will give you more flexibility down the line.

I am getting poor battery after June 2019 update as well.
It's says that Outlook app (from Microsoft) is one of the apps taking up the most battery but I don't think it is.
The playstore app constantly crashes and I think this is the root of the issue.

For my everything was ok, but battery was draining too fast, im on Q4 and its way better

Something change recently and battery life back to normal(not greatest but ok). I think it could be play store/ play services. My playstore app was updated to 15.3.14. I remember it was 15.2.xxx a few days ago.

Yesterday I updated my OG pixel to Android Q (June patch QPP4.190502.019), thinking that the battery would improve, but it has not been like this
In A. Oreo 8.1 the battery had a useful life of approximately 13 - 14 hours
In A. Pie 9.0 it had a useful life of 8 - 9 hours
and Now in A. Q 1.0 it has 7 to 8 hours of useful life.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

Time has passed since then. Check the health of your battery before coming to a conclusion about the OS's efficiency (or you could flash 8.1 and see how many hours you get).

No way of checking. Usually after 250 cycles the battery will be 10 or 20 % less than when it was new. Just the normal course of daily use.

Nice expectations for Q on this device!
Although I am on June patch, rooted with Magisk 19.3 and using ElementalX kernel and I have around 5h of SOT everyday, even with location and mobile data turned on...
On the other hand, I do use Bluetooth very little and I use PitchBlack substratum theme which certainly helps.
Gaming on this is a rare thing, I only do it at home, on WiFi, streaming from the PC using Parsec (burns 40% of battery in about 30 minutes straight...)

You are WRONG! Modern smartphone batteries start to degrade after 500-600 cycles. If you won't let them down to <25-30% It will last 500-600 cycles. Then it will start to degrade, but not by 10-20% LOL % by %, Slowly. It will last about 800-900 cycles before you will need to replace it to get back good SOT. I still have nexus 4 with battery that i put in it 4 years ago. Until then it had it's original battery. It still works great. Well great for being nexus 4 getting around 2.5-3 SOT every day. But i am not using mobile data and i am not playing heavy games. Light gaming, low brightness, good ROM + Kernel, WiFi ONLY.
Today i got the original Google pixel 5". I will get my hands on it tommorow when i'll take it from office. I hope it's battery will be in good condition. Seller said it's in Good condition overall.
