was thinking to trade my htc one x for this phone but I wanted to know how is battery life?
Battery will drain out quickly when you do lots of things and specially when playing games.
Take 5 hours for a fully change.
If you leave only gsm can keep for 5 days open.
If you play with it can last only hours of a single day.
Depence on your needs.

Hi there, i did a review of this phone a few weeks back here: http://initekuk.wordpress.com/2013/04/03/review-of-the-windows-phone-8x-by-htc/
i found the only problems to be no expandable storage and the power button placement. In my opinion it would be better placed on the side as it was sometimes a reach to press it; i got used to this though, just my opinion.
the phone is good. the battery life is very good as long as you aren't doing anything like bluetooth/wifi/gps on all the time...it will keep for days without a charge and even while playing pandora, you get hours out of it.
the only bad thing I found with it was the expandable storage, there isn't any....really nothing else....lack of cases I guess, most of them will come from the U.K....the nice ones anyways.
HTC series not bad

HTC series not bad, But the battery life isn't so great, here some info about htc-one-x you can compare to: goo.gl/ZZb9tl
Guys, before buying, just wanted to know how is it going with such battery? Is it enough for 1-2 days of not heavy use?

No smartphone can last longer than a full day with heavy use, not even the Note 3 bro. Just charge it at night when you sleep so its 100% when you get up.

Key words in your post are "not heavy use" and in that case yes it should be good for at least 1 day of use and probably even 2 days for truly light use.
You might want to wait awhile before asking that question. If you take what people say about battery life on a device they have only had for less than a day, you will be pretty disappointed with the results. Android takes time to 'settle' in.

First of all. I truly hate the battery drain threads, as I never had issues with it before.
I've had all pixels xl, and most of the nexus phones.
With the pixel line, I had never been so happy with battery, specially pixel 2 xl. Battery would last 1.5 to 2 days for me (I am very conservative in usage)
However, with the 3 xl, at the end of the day yesterday, I had 39%> This was a day I did not use the phone except for 10 sms, quick stock checks, 2 emails, no phone calls, 15 minutes of music with bt headphones in the metro.
Last night, I put it in safe mode, charged it. TODAY, I took away from the charger at 6am, checked emails, back in the pocket. At 8 am, I had 90%.
Removed from safe mode at 8 am. Checked some messages, spoke for 10 minutes over the phone, checked emails and stocks. It is now 9:20am and my battery is at 80%
Not good. I am really disappointed.
Could I have a defective unit? Am I spoiled with my excellent pixel 2 xl? I did see one youtuber complaining about his battery.
I am afraid mine is defective. If not, I want to go back to the pixel 2 xl.
If you have yours, and had a pixel 2 xl, please let me know how you feel about it please!
Thanks
UPDATE 12/17/18: Nothing really changed much. Pixel 3 XL is horrible with the battery when compared to Pixel 2 XL. What a disappointment in this phone, all over the place. Battery, Buggy, Notch, Audio Recording, Video Recording, Face Unlock, Gestures, etc. What a waste of hard earned money. Of all Pixels and Nexus, this is together with the Nexus 6, the most I have been disappointed.
I truly love these phones, what they represent and all, but after years with the 'google phones', it might be time to try something else.... seriously.... with this phone, the fact that I still did not receive a $50 credit from google, and all these $300 discounts, with free pixel wireless charger and pixel earphones, after 2 months from launch, it makes me extremely disappointed of being an early adopter. Next year I am definitely waiting until January, after reading all reviews and trying it out first before I buy, or just getting a different brand phone.
I am very disappointed this time around.
Hmm I haven't noticed that yet on mine. So far the standby drain has been pretty solid. I haven't had a lot of time to test it obviously, but so far it isn't standing out as an issue for me yet.

Hopefully I will have more responses like yours. If I do I will just exchange the phone with a new one. My unit is really draining fast. From my original post to now, with standby and NO USE of the phone, I am down 2% to 78% (I am using a desktop with the forum).
Thank you.

Before you exchange it, you might try conditioning the battery. Use it until it dies, fully charge it, use it again until it dies, and then one more cycle. If you .are still observing issues after that, then definitely return it.
I only suggest this as conditioning the battery is likely easier than an RMA.

I just spoke to customer service. They told me to factory reset and try again. When I mentioned that it got ward when setting up the phone, they even offered a device replacement, but I told them I am willing to try the factory re-set. I will try this and then your suggestion, kill 2 birds with the same shot.
I am so disappointed, really am... but alright, let's try this again!!!

Sounds defective to me. 2nd day of having it I got 8 hours screen on time and it went 18 hours before needing a charge. Good luck though...I'm honestly super impressed with this phone and want everyone to have the same experience!

Battery saver automatically came on at 15%. I was actually shocked that I got that much SO time with it. Haven't gotten quite that again but close.

Thanks. I did recycle the battery, did the factory reset, etc, still having issues. Google is shipping me a new phone Hopefully that will help.
I did see some videos on youtube of people complaining about the battery life, also notice an article that shows that Pixel 2 XL lasts about 1:20 hours more than the 3 XL. Pretty disappointing...
https://www.phonearena.com/news/Google-Pixel-3-vs-Pixel-3-XL-battery-life_id110162
But still, mine is performing way worse than that. Let's see what the new phone will give me... Thank you!
Restricting Pixel Ambient Service from running in the background helped a little for me and I haven't noticed it interfering with anything yet. Ambient Display seems like it uses more battery on the 3 XL than on my old 2 XL. I didn't even know you could restrict the Pixel Ambient Service but you can. I also don't use Adaptive Battery because it doesn't make a difference in battery for me.

I will try that.
I had a definitive test today, while I wait for my new phone.
From 9 AM, and fully charged phones, I got the following after 4 hours and 30 minutes:
PIXEL 2 XL: 96%
PIXEL 3 XL: 73%
VERY disappointing... Thumbs down to my new phone...

Exactly my point... the new phone should really have better battery life...
If my replacement behaves the same way, I will have to wait with my 2 XL for another year...

This almost sounds like an Adaptive Battery issue. After a week of playing with this device, it has picked up on my habits and the battery performance started getting better over time.
Im getting 0.8%/hr standby and 10%/hr screen on. Is that OK?

The great kernel developer known as Flar2 once told me that if your active drain is under 12% and your idle drain is under 1%....your doing good. :good:

My active drain is 11.8 and my standby is 1.8. The AOD is definitely using more battery on the 3 XL than it did on the 2 XL. I wish I still had my 2 XL so I could test them side by side.

Normally somewhere around 7-8 hours for me. Close to 9 at some occasions. Not a gamer though. Mobile data always enabled, display on 90hz, resolution at1080 . First smartphone ever that I do not have to charge every day!

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

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 ...
