7+ SOT! Pretty crazy...
Here is mine from yesterday... Not really a heavy user.
Just curious - are all of using battery saving location mode?

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!
Why can't I post pics? Says I don't have permission to post.

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.

I'm def a heavy user so I usually get between 12-14hrs out of my battery
Maybe the better pole would be screen time? I get at least 4 hours of on screen time.
I am on the stock ROM. Most of the time i can manage 1 - 3 hours of screen time and 8-12 hours of battery life. Its not terrible but my 2 year old iPhone 3GS seemed to manage better when playing music. I use my phone at work and listen to music for about 6 hours a day with power amp. I also live in a heavy LTE area so most of the time I am on LTE and no wifi which just kills the battery. No power saving either.

I'm a pretty HEAVY user. I typically use is in WiFi, but I'm browsing and messaging a LOT and still constantly messing around with customizations since its brand new for me, and I can get about 20 hours out of it.
Not rooted. Apex Launcher Pro. No data-grubbing widgets.
I can't complain about this battery at all. This is some light to moderate use.
Sent from my Galaxy SIII using Tapatalk 2
Light to moderate use yielded this!
im running the blazer rom v1.6 , im getting 14-16hrs of heavy use and usually have about 20% left at the end of the day before putting back on the charger and going to bed. wifi and bluetooth on all day also.
This was with moderate use for me...even with heavy use I get well over 14 hours and that's in an area with pair signal
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Moderate use 14 to 16 hours. I usually kill it while in bed playing with it.
Having said that I find heavy camera usage will kill it quite fast and I will have to recharge mid day. It feels abnormally fast but hard to say for sure.
Wow... how are some of the moderate users getting more than 14 hrs? When I don't use it much I get 24 hrs easy, using JuiceDefender and FreeGS ROM.. If I use it moderately it gets ~12, if I stream music from Pandora for around 4 hours it lasts <10

Guys, I saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777226
And yes, I take the subway (to get to work) everyday and notice my battery drains quite rapidely afterwards (7h am to 16h pm without any usage, mainly standby). On weekends, my battery seems to do much better (15-20h moderate usage).
Today I was at 60% at 12h32pm and then 46% at 13h42 without any usage (lte and wifi on, stand by). I rebooted my SG3 at 13h55 while I was at 43%, since then much better, I'm at 40% at 15h12pm.
Anybody experiencing something similar ??

One time I got 7 hours 30 min of screen on time on stock battery. I was mostly using an app to browse Reddit and it had a black background. Plus, my brightness was 1%. I would post it but I don't have a screenshot of it.

Best battery life on any of my Samsung phones.
Light use, been out with friends. But did a bit of navagation with maps, some forum browsing and quite a bit of texting. But I have to say, much better battery life than the SGS2.:thumbup:
Best battery life of all my Samsung phones so far.
Lasts all day, even with leaving data and WiFi on.
Have to say I am pretty impressed, given battery life of the SGS2 and SGS1.
I am very impressed with the battery life on the phone! I work in an area with little to no service so my phone searches for signal all day. I usually spend about 10 hours at work a day and with moderate use I have enough battery to last all day. If I turn WiFi on phone stops searching and get even better battery life. This is the best phone I have had for battery life. I'm on t-mobile.

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.

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.

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?

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

Mine lasts about 2-3 days but my SOT time is about 14-18 hours over that time.

Or just an hour or two of gaming. The average for me is 12h SOT, from 100℅ to 15℅ with 2h gaming for over 3 days on a single charge.
just curious at which value you ALL people....setted the luminosity.
i think you set it at leadt at 35/40/50% or it's a non sense to let us know a GREAT sot.... but with a such dim display almost unusable by 80% of people.....
however i'm very envious of your sot... i recently bought a RN3P and it's ok..... but i was undecided between it and p2, but p2 hassomething i really hate.... buttons on display
if lenovo had done the p2 with classic 3 capacitive buttons....... it would be my actual phone.
however i'm really temped to sell my phone and get this.... i themed mine with substratum .. all BLACK..... i know amoled display like p2 would save A LOT of power..... mmmm

the P2 is not without it`s glitches (as most phones) but the battery is a big advantage,I go out with the battery at 50% all day knowing the phone will not run out of charge (on previous phones I always carried a powerbank)
This phone is IMO excellent value for the price.

After nougat update many bugs are solved. Battery remains great
70% auto brightness, wifi and data on all the time, about 60% of time wifi was my main connection
15h is easily achievable with lower brightness, good network connection and no intensive/background apps. The people getting 18h+ who don't show power drain profile i question. Also, I've noticed my stats don't reset if i do a brief charge. Or i could plug in a low current trickle charge from a computer usb. Would look like very slow power drain but i could post u some crazy stats! The most important stat really is the minimum SoT. If you run full brightness as I have been, with a bit of everything, you will get minimum of 11-12h SoT. Still going through a charge now, so will post final stats tomorrow. But 2d+ use, and 12h SoT with maxed settings doing whatever i like is epic from a fast smart phone!!!
8 days on a battery! Epic.
Rom S062_170117_ROW
11h45m SOT! From 95% to 10%.
No gaming, lots of browsing, youtube, downloading stuff.
WiFi only, brightness on auto.
I'm pretty heavy user, no gaming though. Apart from regular calling and messaging, I browse a lot, lot of music, every imaginable form of social media and hours of music, I get an average of 14-16 hours of SOT.
The only problem is with Hike messenger (most probably the app's fault), the SOT reduces by almost half. With below average Hike usage, the SOT I can squeeze out 8-9 hours barely.
Edit: WiFi or Jio 4G always on 24 hours a day. Brightness is manual.
Could probably push 20h SOT with only wifi, 2G, auto sync, gps etc. disabled.
My second full charge stats for those interested.

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.
