Battery life so far and that's with over 3 hours of gaming, 1 hour of podcast listening, 1 hour listening to Google music, 1 hour of YouTube as well as Facebook, Tapatalk, discord ect. I have to say I'm pretty much blown away.

What is your location mode? High Accuracy, batter saving, or device only?

I'm gonna guess battery saving
Battery saver. I only really need it so the weather app works properly.

But this was using no other battery saving techniques. With things like greenify with aggressive doze, lowering resolution to 1080p ect I'm sure I could extend this even more if I really wanted. Not only that but the game I was playing is a 3d MMORPG with graphics set to med/ high.

So far I've only had one real heavy usage day.
I was on a mix of LTE and wifi, browsed with Chrome, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 30 minutes YouTube, 1 hour streaming Google Play Music to Bluetooth headphones, 15 minutes playing Asphalt 8, brightness at 20%, Now Playing on, Google account syncing, Location on high accuracy and battery saving off. At the end of the day I was literally trying to kill the battery but it was getting late and I was tired.
Under the same conditions my Nexus 5X, even when it was brand new, only got like 3 hours screen on time with the same off the charger time.
First phone I've ever had that I can actually say has great battery life. It more than makes up for the blue tint that I only even see if I'm looking for it.
Been at a conference last few days in a row. Historically I bring a charger with me because usually I'm just sitting there on my phone.
Don't have my actual battery performance but started with 100% out of my car. Purposefully left a charger in the car.
Used tons of XDA, Facebook, browser text email etc and had 40-60% remaining after about 7 hours onsight each day.
Great battery for working professionals or any heavy user
Much better lasting than i expected. 3500mah compared to the 3000 mah of Nexus 6, and it lasts 2 days easily on light to moderate use.
EDIT: i meant nexus 6

The Nexus 5 didn't have a 3000mAh battery. It had a 2300mA battery.

Oops, i meant Nexus 6, my bad!
I'm downright impressed with the battery on this phone. I was at the hospital for 3 days with no charger, and it lasted the whole time. Granted, I pretty much don't use any app other than firefox, but at the same time, I never turned on the TV (I honestly don't care for watching TV) and my phone was all I had to entertain myself, so the screen was on a lot.

Yeah even better! Even with a 3220 battery, it barely lasted for almost a day. Granted it was after 3 years of using the phone, so at the time i bought it, it would have lasted maybe 1.5 days. But when i went 3 days without charging the pixel 2xl, that was something else.
Upgraded from a Nexus 6 as well. With he same apps installed, and with everything else as similar as possible (i.e. batter saver disabled, location high-accuracy, same google accounts added, etc.), and with hte N6 rooted and running Pixel Launcher and wallpaper app, *and* with the N6 being a 2nd replacement (having replaced my original purchase due to batterygate in Jan 2015, and then having lost the second device in Jan 2016 and relacing it with the last completely new in a box N6 that I found only) and thus around 1.75 years of actual use (versus a true 3 years), I can say that my N6 will die easily in ~4 hours of intensive video game playing (games like PotC: Tides of War and Lineag 2: Evolution) but the Pixel 2 XL has let me play 7+ hours continuously and still had well over 30%.
Being the holidays, I don't have that much time to dedicate to playing games in one sitting, but I can fire up Lineage 2 and auto hunt for a long time, with the phone sitting off to the side, if anyone requires actual visual proof.
Also, relate to this, even if I am playing either game and connect to my charger, the phone barely gets warm, whereas my N6 would get almost unbearably hot if I charged and played at the same time.
If you aren't fortunate to live on wifi and have bad service, my battery life is dropping. I'm down to 10 hours with 2 hours of SOT. First day was much better. I am using a third party charger. Does that drop battery life?

That's pretty terrible. Never got lower than maybe 4.5 hours SOT and that was out and about at Disney World for 16 hours. Mostly the bad service that's killing your battery because it's searching for stronger signal. Doubtful 3rd party charger would be doing this. Screenshots?
So far today

Screenshots like that's aren't the most helpful. Scroll down and take a screenshot of the app usage too.

Yeah, something is wrong. A few weeks about I had a long day out using mobile data only with signal average to bad browsing, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 45 minutes of Google Maps navigation with the screen always on and playing music over Bluetooth to my car for like 2 hours and even like 15 minutes of Asphalt 8 and I ended the day with like 6 hours SOT and 20 hours off the charger and still had like 10% left. That's the absolute WORST I've ever seen. On wifi all the time with good cell signal just browsing and Facebook I've gotten 9 hours SOT over like 40 hours at best. Average with a mix of usage is about 7 hours SOT with about 32 hours off the charger. Individual results will obviously vary but if you are getting a lot less than what I get, which is pretty typical from all the user experience I've read, something is wrong.
Can anyone tell me what is the screen time you get on a pixel 2 Xl iam getting 4.00 hours with 80% battery used and 20% battery left with full recharge 15:20 hour's ago
With talk time of roughly 1:45 minutes used.
How i'm /my phone is doing.
Read somewhere people are getting 8+hour's of screen time with 10% battery still left.
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 Honor 7X before depleting the battery.

5hrs SOT time, normal use (instagram 1 hr, yt 1hr, netflix 2 episodes of 1 hour, other 1hr)
3 1/2 hrs SOT time, stress use (1hr calls, instagram, yt, web browsing)
Hope this gives you a little jist.. The battery is pretty good since i use a few battery hogging apps for background.. Easily lasts more than a day for me.. :fingers-crossed:
Very happy with the battery life. I know after 6 or 7 months the battery life will be reduce but its overall a good package.. Sharing some screens here.
This SOT i got with second charging. Charged from 0 to 90% (Not 100%) and used. This SOT result is from 90% . Not from 100%.
Usage:-
======
Whatsapp
YouTube
Chrome and downloads
Some minutes of Cricket game play
Some videos in MX Player
XDA App
Calls and SMS
Some musics
No FB and Messenger
Full time LTE ( JIO voLTE India)
Dual sim all time
Here i just disabled some apps that i never use..
Same here 7:12 Sot. With root and delete all unnecessary apps.
Sorry i forgot the Screenshot.Next time
good enough
Good inmy case without games always on 4g
I've got over 8 hours SOT quite often now, not restricting anything (gaming, calls, wifi, 4g)
I have never had the chance to test battery but standby drain is excellent.
However, for heavy gaming battery life is poor and the device significantly heats up. I can completely finish my battery from 100% to 0% in around 3 hours with a game like Angry Birds 2. However, even on other devices it's known to be hard on the battery and unoptimized.
In the next coming days I'll test battery with regular use and not gaming, general web browsing and some YouTube perhaps.
However, I easily get a full day out the battery, I am impressed.
7 hrs of fuc*ing sot
Ace
7 hours sot
Hey everyone just a quick question. I am currently on OOS 5.1.5 and have pretty good battery life expect when I use google play music. I came from an Iphone where play music barley sipped any battery and talked to a friend that has a Oneplus 5T who also says that he streams 6 plus hours at work and still finishes his shift with 60 to 65 percent.
Just yesterday I was streaming music for about 4 hours and it completely drained my batter from 70 to 0. At 1 percent I looked at battery stats and it said that google play music used 45 percent of my battery.
On a normal day when I listen in the car. A 15 minute drive will make me lose about 3-4 percent. All of my music is downloaded locally.
Anyone have similar issues?

It prevents the phone from going into deep sleep to conserve battery, while also using data to stream the songs.

Do you use an adblocker by any chance? If you do, it's because GPM is coded poorly and keeps pinging googleadservices.com and googletagmanager.com while it's in the background. Whitelist those two sites and you should be good. I went from GPM taking 10% of my battery to 1% of my battery by doing that.

I get about 12 hours sot without gaming. And around 8 hours with gaming
I get over 12 hours of SOT almost all the time watching Facebook live stream over 4G.
12 hours? HOW?
I bought this phone just for the big battery. It's new, all optimised, just a few apps and the battery sucks...not to mention the battery graph. I honestly believe that I don't even reach 5 hours SOT, just by using WhatsApp and Mint Browser. mah!
Now my phone is at 87% with a 1h27 SOT. Google play services is at the top with 11.25% (which is still low, compared to usual values). I have disabled and optimised everything I could, no sync, no backup, nothing...and still, here I am
Depends on usage, but i can get from 10 to 6 hours of sot. If using phone non stop, 10+ hours easily. If a lot of standby, i usually get around 6 hours sot with 48 hour standby.
For me in half brightness it lasted me 11 to 12 hours almost non stop in YouTube and Instagram

Could you please tell me the MIUI version that you have?
Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

Rating: 4/5
Uptime: 53h
SOT: 2h45m
Drain: 84%
Close to my first Cycle with that Phone after testing all the features and Stuff. Time for some Review:
Light usage in my case is:
Always On Screen on for Notifications (the simple analaog clock theme)
GPS / Bluetooth / mobile Data / Wifi on
checking Mails / Teams / Slack
using Messengers (Whatsapp/telegram) for quick replies
a few quick Calls
a handful of snapshots with the cam
some browsing
some 9gag when bored
Corona Warn App and Blokada contantly running in Background
Overall i dropped from 100% to 16% in 53h.
53h uptime / 2h45m SOT.
With that power draw i guess a 3 days / 2 nights cycle should be possible.
/wo Corona Warn app 3 full days should be doable as well.
I rate only 4 of 5 stars since standby drain is a bit too heavy imho with around ~1.5%/h
It's still quite a nice improvement to my mi 8 lite which lasted my around 2 days.
