Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Google Pixel 2 XL'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.

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.

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 Honor 7X before depleting the battery.

I wanted to post the very good results I get from my battery after all my good settings.
So I usually have way more than 24 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy usage. And I can go over 8 hours of screen on time, with wifi, 4g, and a bit of gaming not restricting anything. What are your results?

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

No small charges in between?

Phones get better mileage at/between different percentages so it doesn't mean much if your not showing a near full discharge...

Here's my experience:
Had it charged to 100% at 9pm.
The 68% screenshot was taken at 8am.
22% at 1:33pm
9% at 3:09pm

Wow, that launcher drains more than Play services

I'd say it's faring pretty dang well. Over 7.5 hours SOT with almost 2 days of usage on a single charge? This, to me, is absolutely astounding. OPO did a phenomenal job on optimizing this device. Coming from my GS9 which is barely over 4.5 hours SOT on a good day, and the Pixel 3 XL which is... unremarkable at best.
Edit: Oh and of note, Battery saver has only been on since about 10-11%. Was simply wanting to make sure it made it until I went to bed!

Mostly browsing with Chrome, but also Viber and Google Voice for messages, YouTube and YouTube TV. I'll be posting new screenshots which will include the usage details.

First day battery test was a near full discharge. NO BATTERY SAVER USED. Moderate usage few videos, pictures taken, music, settings being configured to personal preference and got 7+ hours of SOT with 32hours till 10%. Got down to 5% at the 39 hours mark with 8+ SOT. Does anyone have advise on a healthy charging habit to keep battery accurate and healthy, to prolong the life charge. Would be great for battery health advice. Thanks. Enjoy

OnePlus 6T providing amazing battery life. The screen on time is more than 8 hours. Surprised by the battery life as i coming from galaxy note 5.

Impressive battery
????

I'm consistently getting over 10 hours of SOT over a period of 24 - 30 hours which is insane.
This is mostly with streaming through Netflix and YouTube.
I have turned off the battery optimisations as well.

Nice going, op6t!
Started with 100% in the PM.

OOS 9.0.5, Completely stock.
With the latest update i feel like the oneplus team has definitely made screen unlock a few milliseconds quicker, and after installing the latest arnova gcam (with night sight), i feel like i don't have anything left to complain about this phone. On top of that it gives great battery life.
11+ hours over 2 days, although i admit i don't game at all.

I tried the Gcam 6.1 Port from pixel on OOS 9.0.3 but it drains the battery a lot. SOT down to 5 hrs from 8+ hours. Approx 10 minutes usage of Gcam reduces around 15% of the battery.

I don't really do all that much, some clash royale, reddit, random websites, and mostly youtube browsing, oh and for today I used GPS for the 3hr drive to and from a meeting (brightness at 70% the first hour and 25% the rest), and i was also able to pull off 10hrs SOT over 20hr period. Pretty great considering the same type of usage would barely get me 4hrs on my 3T.
Although im almost certain this is from the colder weather and darker skies. That 10hrs is probably more like 6hrs in the summer day. Im not even sure this is good by any means, since im so used to garbage battery lol
Shoot I forgot the screenshot [web link]

Battery discharge from initial bootup. Battery started at 54%.
4+ hours SoT
A lot of FB, Chrome and installing apps/initial configuration stuff.
Installed 9.0.5 update.
Still have 9% left and hour of estimated usage.
Loving the 6t and this amazing battery life. Came from a Moto Z Force.

T-Mobile variant
First charge
Off charger at 7am
Mix usage, call, games, YouTube, reading, browsing interwebs
Not bad.

Last day I went on a trip. The phone was mostly on max. Brightness and camera was also used extensively. The SOT was a bit less than 6 hours.
I don't have screenshots to share.

Heres mine on an average day

Here's mine.

After the first full charge I got 7 1/2 hours of Screen on Time of mixed usage (WiFi/MobileData).
Really nice!

Installed GSam battery monitor n Accu battery app
The discharging speed while screen off was 2.6 percnt which is quite high.. dont know if these two app were the culprit which were running with notifications in the notifications centre ..

Andriod 10 SOT + Standby Drain.

Is it just me or has battery life improved drastically since the android 10 update? Im regularly getting SOT north of 11 hours now!
