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 HTC 10'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.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I get extremely good battery with light usage.

this is light use?
i get like 5 days with light use lol
On wifi, the battery is in the ruins, no matter you use the phone or not. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562
With wifi off and using data only, I am at 81% after 22 hours of light usage with 1hr15min SOT. If I just extrapolate, I end up with about 5 days of 6hrs SOT of light usage off the charger. But that's not going to happen, I will likely end up with 3 days and 3 hrs of SOT on light usage... I will likely end the experiment (of keeping it off the charger) tomorrow after 48 hours off the charger and see how it went. We shall see.

That's been my experience. This phone just goes and goes and goes with light use. I've found it quite easy to get 36 hours and still have 30%+ remaining, and I live in an area with poor cell coverage.
I concur, if the wifi signal is weak, then the batter will drain rather quickly.

The wifi issue on HTC 10 has got nothing to do with signal strength. Signal strength is fine. It seems to affect certain people or may be most people don't even know it affects them. Have a look at the post I linked to. It has more details and a way to find if you are affected or not.

Hmm. I considered it to be related to the poor wifi signal in the part of the house where I was sleeping. The phone lost nearly 20% in 4 hours last night. Today, at my office, it has lost 4% in 4 hours with strong wifi and cell signals.
I don't know too much about adb, but if I can help, let me know.
I for one experience better standby on Wifi than on 4G (and I assume that is normal). I did a light-use run and I got a little bit over 40 hrs of use with 2 hrs 45 min screen-on time. It actually lasted me a whole two days as HTC brags about. From this perspective, one of the best phones I ever owned. On wifi, over night, the phone would lose maybe 1%... 2%tops

That's how it should be. A good wifi connection should be eating less battery than LTE.
You are the guy/gal we are looking for in that other thread.... Can you please post with your output in that other thread? I will likely have some more questions for you as we diagnose this issue on HTC10. It seems to affect quite a few people. So, your help will be greatly appreciated.

That's about the right rate for a strong wifi connection. So, your wifi is working fine as well.
After 1st charge I got barely 26 hours battery with 20% left. Hope things will improve with next charges

Best result so far with light usage: a little bit over 41 hours. That's more than two full work days... In this time I did play a little and had a few serious sessions of browsing, blinkfeeding and Facebook. But almost no camera, YouTube or music. Most of the time on Wifi, the rest on 4G+. Still, 41 hrs with 2 hr:40 min SOT is good enough for me for this type of usage. Best phone so far as endurance is concerned...
Here is my "light" usage: 2h45m SOT, 54hrs off the charger, 52% used. All the use is over 4G LTE (good 3 bars), no wifi (see my post about wifi drain at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/wifi-constant-suspend-resume-leading-to-t3392562). With 48% remaining, I am projected to reach over 90hrs off charger with more than 5hrs of SOT.
Brightness at 40% with Auto, which is plenty bright for me indoors AND outdoors with Auto boost. Cores locked at 1Ghz (little ones) and 1.6Ghz (big ones), which is plenty of power for me. Note that Power saver mode locks them all at 1.3Ghz. I am not using the Power saver mode (extreme power save mode is different than this) because it ruins the brightness completely, and 1.3Ghz is too slow.
Nearly 4 days off charger with 5hrs SOT is totally unbelievable. This is my typical work days where I don't get to play with the phone a whole lot. HTC 10 just rocks!!

After using the phone for over an hour and half for calls today, I am left with 79 hrs off the charger, 4hrs SOT with 10% remaining. Expected to reach 88hrs (or may be even more when EPS kicks in at 5%..), 4h25m SOT. Not quite 4 days off charger but very very close. This is the light use phone to get!!
BTW, during the calls the screen was dimly lit.... It should turn the screen off to save battery during the call. So, technically that hour and half of calls today probably ate more battery than they should have.
One more light usage screenshot. This time with wifi on most of the time except for when I sleep. 4 days and 1 hrs with 3.5hrs of SOT, with 10% battery still in the tank. HTC 10 is a battery life beast!!

Ha, now that you've resurected my post, I can give an update... In June, on WiFi, it usually sucked about 1-2% overnight, but now, after more than four months, it goes down up to 10% overnight... I think a system refresh is in order
Mines pretty bad, light use would be it sitting in my drawer a lot.
My work iPhone does the same (i don't pay for it, it's just for email, don't judge me)
Anyway, this iPhone 6, nothing special, has three emails running, wifi always on, occasionally make a call, but thats it.
One charge, 165hrs about 3.5 hours SOT, so yea very little use.
But i just couldn't do that with the HTC, maybe in airplane mode but for me it dies pretty quick, a day maybe more, but thats it.
Reason i mentioned the crapple phone was that i was shocked to see the stamina of it, crazy, but if i was using it normally, it'd be dead in 6 hours lol i wouldn't swap my htc.

Why not design a bigger physical frame and slap in a bigger battery to accommodate the higher end specs? I'm sure a lot of Nexus 5 users can agree.

I don't know, but I'll say this. I get as good, if not better, battery life than I did with the Galaxy S4 using a ZeroLemon 3000mah battery.
I have no qualms about the battery - it does more than enough for me and I can get a days use with around 40% left at night
Problem is what's good for one is crap for another - you can't win!
I think those who are good with the battery must be using an HSPA network
I dont need a bigger battery and if they had to make the phone larger to accommodate it I would stick with what I have now.

This. My battery life is definitely better than it was with my S4, which has a bigger battery. I'm a happy camper. If Google had stuck a bigger battery in the N5, we'd have 472 threads complaining that the phone is too thick.

Possibly, as I'm only on 3G until next year, but my colleague on 4G with a Nexus 5 has no issues with battery either - and he uses his phone a LOT more than I do!
The issue here is all down to an individuals usage patterns and apps in use. I literally only use Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, G+, Hangouts (for the odd SMS), BT Sport/Sky Go for the Football and the phone itself - that's it! I don't play games and rarely watch video bar the odd YouTube moment when on the toilet!
While I'm happy with my N5 and regularly make it through 2 days on a charge due to excellent standby time, the screen on time is slightly disappointing. My G'Nex saw 5½ hours SOT regularly when new, whereas the N5 is usually 4-4½. I know the N5 is a more powerful phone all around with a slightly larger screen, but the battery is also considerably larger capacity and you kind of expect 2 year newer technology to be better in EVERY respect, not worse in battery life.
With that said by the time I got my N5 my G'Nex was only averaging 2½ hours SOT a charge (don't know if the battery was just wearing out or newer android versions just drained more and more), so the 5 does feel like a good increase. Overall though 4 hours SOT and only charging every other day is perfectly acceptable to me.

Nexus5 has a similar sized battery as the HTC One(my last phone), and this far surpasses the One in battery life.
1) Greatly reduced idle power consumption
2) LTE envelope tracking
3) Improved power efficiency of the Snapdragon 800-series chips
Once you stop all the poorly written software you have on your device from keeping the device awake, hogging CPU and/or keeping GPS active, the N5 has amazing battery life.
I have 3 google accounts + facebook + google voice + linkedin + google plus, on AT&T LTE, and my idle consumption is <1%/hr, for over 100 hours standby time.
1 hour of screen on time / day = 75-80% remaining when I go to bed, assuming I haven't plugged the device in at all, and didn't use GPS.
I get better battery life on LTE networks -- less awake time waiting on background data, envelope tracking and better coverage (AT&T has done a great job with 700mhz LTE in Austin)
Beats all my previous droids by a large margin.
The Nexus 5 battery gets me through the day without any issues. Even then, I have wireless chargers on my office desk, my home desk, and my nightstand, so keeping it powered is not an issue.
When I do need more juice, I have an 11,000 mAh battery pack.
The thing with a larger phone for battery life is that you always have to take that with you, no matter how much juice you will be using. With the Nexus 5, I have a battery that meets my daily usage patterns and I can carry extra power when I need it.

Coming from an iPhone 5, I'm more than happy with the battery life of my nexus 5. Haven't even done any battery saving tweaks yet, even have auto brightness on. This sucker rocks! I'm sure I'll eventually get into saving the battery usage, but just saying that for now, it still beats my iPhone 5 in everything so far.
Recently I wanted to transfer a few files between the two, and had everything turned off on the iPhone except for WiFi, and my nexus just like normal (Bluetooth on, WiFi, cell, etc). I was impressed to see the nexus 5 STILL last longer than my iPhone 5.

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 LG V10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I'll leave this here..
Edit. Auto brightness under Florida Sun. Facebook, ebay and reading posting on xda.
Details: Not rooted, bootloader locked, wifi off, sync auto on, 2nd screen stock, location on, LTE on T-mobile, vibration strength stick, vibration with sound, vibration type rapid, vibrate on tap, sound effects dialpad sounds rest off, wifi calling on
Brightness set at 20%, no Auto brightness, 2nd screen on the whole time, Verizon 4G LTE the entire time (no wifi)
Screen on time is a failed meter for battery life.. I can run navigation on all day and have the screen off. I will show less screen time no matter what.. Same goes if you're listening to music while the screen sleeps.. Anyway the avg Lg phone with this battery gets you about 2.5-4.5 hrs of screen time depending on your usage. Same as G3 and 4.. Lg has excellent standby time, but horrible screen time. If you actually use your phone, these will be your results.. I go into different lighting every few minutes so I have to adjust my brightness. No way you can keep it on one setting all day unless you're not going anywhere..ever..

thats my analysis. I thought going from the g3 to LG v10 would give that galaxy note 5 or s6 edge life...nope. still averaging about 2.5 to 3.5 total use is around 7-9.

do you have GPS, Auto-Sync, Location on or off, and the second screen. That would help us determine what's best

I'm getting 3.25 to 4.0 SOT with about 10-11hrs battery usage. GPS off, Screen on auto, location off, sync off and I turn sync on once a hour. I'm rooted
:silly:
I forgot to screenshot it but I got 20hrs +3hrs SOT bluetooth,location,sync and autobrightness on yesterday. VERY impressed coming from the Note 4, was rooted and bloat free.
Stock barely 3 days old
Results seem good, at least matching the Note 5's. But honestly the G2 still smokes all of these results. I got 19h of use with 1h45m of SOT yesterday... and 74% remaining. Not even kidding. And not even rooted, 5.0.2 stock.
3 hours SOT
I have BT on, wifi on, location on and auto brightness on. Volte is off. I have 2 sim cards installed. My phone is not rooted.
I will get about 3 hours SOT and about 15 hours battery life per day.
I needed to install Greenify to get these results. Before Greenify I was barely getting 8 hours, which was a little depressing.
I do carry a spare battery though, but I would expect a little more than 8 hours from a 3000mah battery.
Right now battery life is mostly on par with my previous Note4. I didn't use need to use Greenify on the Note4 though. I had the same features turned on with the N4 as I have with the V10.
I feel that the N4 had better standby time. Perhaps the 2nd screen on the LG is drawing extra power, but I actually find it useful so am happy to keep this on.
This current setup is working ok for me. I'm not frugal with the use of the phone. Firstly because I really enjoy using this phone and secondly, having a removable battery is the lightest and easiest solution for not worrying too much about running out of power. Tethering to an external power brick is most annoying.
Having said that, it's still an interesting challenge to eke the best out a smartphone battery.
I can see others here are getting 5 hours SOT out of their phones.
I suspect a lot of the features I have turned on have reduced my SOT, but if some of you have a similar setup to mine and have better SOT I would love to know of other useful tweaks that I could try.
5-6 hours, depending on what I'm doing. Unfortunately I treat it like it has a big battery, and usually by the end of the day I'm getting pretty low.
I'm glad that it comes with such a fast charger, and I'm looking forward to getting my spare battery.
I'm lucky to get 3 hours off a full charge.

Sot im getting right now
I dont know about you guys but im getting outstanding battery life. I'm going to do a test later today. Im going to charge my phone upto 100 (after it reaches 0 today) and then when 5 minutes after it says is 100, i will unplug it and i will put a 1440p video that last more than 8 hours and see how long it last with full brightness and wifi on. Then im going to post Very specific details about how everything went. Oh , aslo it will have speaker at its maximum
oh and just have in mind, i have 35 user apps installed, and some of them constantly sync (so it means more battery consumption)
Just over 3hrs. I dont think my phone has started optimizing apps or putting them in Doze.
My sot had been nothing short of spectacular.. I'm getting 5hr average... nexus 6 would barely reach 3... my g4 not even 3 also..I always wondered how people were getting above 4hrs.. Ive gotten 6+.....I jus miss stock Android
I get 4 hours with medium usage and leave everything on. Wifi, BT etc. Brightness is on Auto but it shows at 50% to 70% most of the time at work. It's my bright office...LOL

Same as I got yesterday... I don't do anything to try and extend battery life though (brightness always on auto, and I usually turn it up a little bit). Today will be my 2nd full day with the phone, and after 2 hours off the charger I had 99% left (only 5 minutes screen on time), but then I used the phone for about 15 minutes and it dropped quick to 94%)... Time shall tell, hopefully it is till just optimizing like you said...
I'm on my 2nd charge and like you guys above, I'm getting abysmal battery life.
I'll give the phone another week or so to optimise, and if it doesn't - it'll be sent back to T-Mobile with a piss poor rating in terms of battery life. What a shame if that's the case..
2 hr 17 minutes screen on time. 68% left, second screen turned on while sleep. Loving it! Restored all my app backup from Google, so its not a plain phone.
This is after my first full charge it's only gonna get better as I rarely install new apps.
Auto brightness at times, manual on others, as the brightness of this phone doesnt compare at all to my note 4.
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
First full day at work with the phone, and actually pretty light usage day and gotta say the battery is a bit of a let down so far. My shorter days at work over the weekend gave me some concerns, but today I'm at 2% left with 13h 28m standby and 2h 17m screen time. No calls, no videos. Maybe a dozen messages, web browsing, 20mins of spotify for commute. Frankly it "feels" like it lasts the same as my 2 year old m8.
10hours 45Minutes
I don't have a sim in mine so all my use is just on Wi-Fi. Indoor use with 30-40% brightness, 49 apps and services disabled. The day after this I did 1080p 60fps video streaming while plugged into my Bose speakers using the Hi-Fi DAC for a little over 5Hours and got about 6.5Hours total SOT. But so far 10hours 45 minutes is my record. Another time I did get right at 10 hours so it wasn't a fluke.
I'm not activating mine either so that's pretty sweet.

Hey, can you share any settings you may have altered to receive such SoT. I'll be lucky if I get 4. I used to get 6-7 hours on the Note 7 I had.
Yeah the battery life sucks, and I like everything else about the phone except ****ty LED screen (I know why they didn't use AMOLED, not cost, but because with no physical home button, the buttons would burn images in AMOLED, LED won't). In any case the true test of a battery is Pokemongo at 100% brightness (which you need with this screen at all times to look half way decent). Note 7 5 hrs, Note 4 4 hours, V20 3 hours, all at 100% and same resolution/settings. So yeah, the battery life sucks, end of discussion. And my phone is a week old, no bloat and settled. Another quirk is sometimes Antutu gets 147k excellent score and sometimes it gets half that, for no reason at all, as well as 3dMark being horrible as well for some reason, half of what it should be.
This is my third LG phone (Had the V10 and G5 before), and the battery performance appears very strong on this. On my first full, non-setup charge, and using my normal work activities (lots of emails, texts, calls, and periodic social media), here's what I got
Total time on battery: 54 hrs 52 min
Total call time: 3hrs 2 min
Total SOT 2hrs 44min
That's great life a regular business user. Also, the screen is way brighter than the V10 and G5.
I've been getting phenomenal standby time on this phone, thanks to the new and improved Doze, better than any other phone I've ever had actually. I'm just not getting great SOT, like many others out there and I can't figure out why. I've had the phone for about a week now and all of the apps should've been optimized by now, I think. Anyone else having similar issues?

Dmarco, a factory reset could be the solution
Guys it is simple. It is the same Snapdragon 820 in about 10 other devices with similiar battery sizes. But the V20 will get A LOT less screen on time, my estimation is 25-50% less depending on how bright the screen is. I need the screen at 100% and low comfort blue filter to make the screen even kinda decent, like a Samsung at 70% brightness. Anyways the LCD screen on the V20 eats A LOT of battery power, it can't compete with an AMOLED. That said, the only benefit is that in 2 years your screen won't have any burn in and be worthless.
Third day with mine and battery is killer. I'm at 14 hours plus overall and 5 hours plus of SOT. Still have 42% percent left. Unlocked S10+ on VZW.
WOW!!

I can't complain, I've taken about 100 photos on top of all the messing around and I'm at 43%. Same phone and carrier as you.

Not entirely impressed. I have the S10e Exynos version and at about 10-15 percent left I've only had between 3½ to 5 hours SOT which isn't terrible, but I definitely thought it would be better with a 1080p screen.
My battery on my S10e (Snapdragon Version) drains very quickly. When I charge my phone to 100% then disconnect the charger from the phone. I notice that my battery percentage drops 2 to 3% within 1 or 2 minutes from a full charge after disconnecting. Does this mean that battery itself is defective?
S10e only has 3100mAh, doesn't seem like it will last all day. S10+ is almost 35% more.

Battery life for my s10+ is amazing. Came home with like 40% still with like 5 hours screen time. My average battery with my note 9 was like 4-5 hours max with like 5-10% left. Main uses: social media apps (snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, hangouts, groupme), Netflix, YouTube, crunchyroll, Google maps, xda, Amazon, chrome, camera, spotify.

my S10+ exynos do the same as you man, but it is just the first day for me with the phone , must give it some time i think and check , even the battery button in device care is saying Learning to optimize battery or something like that
Battery life ok for me. I have s10 exynos and i am getting 7hrs SOT. I am all the time on Wi-Fi. LTE will give less results.

Battery is good on my Exynos version on T-Mobile. First few days were very rough but I've disabled always on display, bluetooth/wifi scanning, mobile data always active, etc. in order to get acceptable battery life. It sucks that I can't use core features that I really enjoy but it is what it is. Hoping once the Exynos version gets root and custom kernels, I'll be able to squeeze a lot of battery. Attached was my battery life mid-day.
I'm going to try to enable the always on display and what not to see if the battery just needed a few more days to optimise.
I have owned a lot of phones and I've never had good battery life out of the box. It usually takes a few charging cycles for the battery to settle in.
AOD type of apps also get counted in SOT, such as Always On Edge.
First full charge cycle. Not bad considering I've been on it setting the phone up how I want and that One UI's battery gets better as it learns your usage patterns. This is at full resolution.

I thought USA have the snapdragon version of s10. I'll post my first cycle once I hit 15%
quite happy with the battery life of my S10e (exynos)
So the day after I post that I'm not impressed with the battery, I've been getting this battery life today. A bit over an hour of gaming and half an hour of YouTube, 3 and a half hours total screen on time at 50%. I'm happy with that, on the Exynos S10e.
Ok so here's what I got after the first full charge. Got my device yesterday in UK galaxy s10 exynos 128/8 gb model. Overall not hugely impressed with battery life although it too early to come up with a final verdict. I wasn't expecting to be blown away with battery life due to the fact that exynos model is 8nm compare to the SD model 7nm so efficiency wise exynos behind than SD model. So i went ahead tuned off auto brightness, AOD kept my brightness around 35-50% during my usage. Had adaptive power saving turned on. Night mode. Purchased package disabler and disabled few packages like Facebook, LinkedIn bixby etc. And had background data and activities disabled for bunch of my apps that I do not require push notifications. Its still too early to say anything but I was only using my phone for social media, WhatsApp some YouTube and streamed for a bit. Hopefully after few cycles I'll get around 5+ SOT (because I'm spoiled with pocophones 4000 mah with 8 hours of SOT)
Coming from my note 8 to this snapdragon s10, I wasnt expecting much of a difference (3300 vs 3400mah), but boy the difference is night and day. I have to say this s10 has truly surprised me with battery life. I would recommend going through all the settings menus and enabling certain battery features, such as the automatic power mode. I have easily surpassed 8 hours screen on time and my standby is fantastic as well, as high as 18 hours so far. I literally can go a full day with this device (have owned it 3 days), which is a first for me with any android/Samsung product. Very surprising as I am a very heavy user. To put it in perspective, I am charging this device nearly as often as my iPad Pro 10.5, which is shocking to me.
Currently at 17 hours on battery with 4 hours on screen at 42%. Screen is always on WQHD+ and I am running AOD. Again, very pleased. Was a bit concerned about not getting the s10+ due to battery size, but I couldn't stand the dual camera on the front. After using the note 8, I have no regrets as this battery life is about 3x better than my note, even after a fresh restore.
Got my S10 yesterday, it's a exynos model. On the moment not very pleased with it's battery life. It came out of the box 40% so i've used it till around 17% and did a charge to 100%
On the moment it's at 83% with 45min screen time and it's 2 hours ago that i've unplugged it. It's not bad but it aint very good either. But must say my galaxy watch is always contected, and i've made a 20 min call. I'll check it out in a few days when it had some full charge cycles under it's belt.
i don't know why the phone drops from 100% to 98% very fast , just after i unplug it from charger and start using it , then the rate of decrease becomes normal and according to usage ?
the trend nowadays is that the phones stays long time on 100% than it should then starts dropping like the iphones do , but on the s10+ it is totally the opposite !
also i had very good standby drain the first day of use , then yesterday which is the 2nd day of use the battery dropped about 5% in just 4 or 5 Hours sleep and the phone is in airplane mode ! but anyway the phone states that it is still learning the usage patters of me to adjust to it & to optimize the apps.

This is not true
Post your capacity readings from Accubattery app here.
I am getting about 3200mAh, which is concerning to say at least since it is a brand new device.
Share your experience.

Jusr for info, after watching a teardown video I realized he battery is actually 3835mah not 4000 !
Accubattery is not that accurate.
So when I charge my phone 20-80% it shows 2900mAh is the battery capacity. And when I charge it 0-100% it shows 3900
I don't think it is about accubattery not doing its job. I think it is because our phones don't show us the true values of percentages - and that is what the app is using to approximate battery capacity.
It's like from 0 to 20 percent it can hold charge as it would (if measured accurately) from 0 to 30 and from 50 to 65 as it would from 50 to 65 - using numbers just 4 example..
Anyways, its good too see some data shared so we can compare.

with just 2 readings over 40% reloading accubattery readings are pretty much worthless, you need several 80%+ charges (even better 100%) charges to get the a somewhat accurate reading.

You are confusing typical and rated.
Typical is the "physical" capacity of the battery from 100 to 0% at 3.87V.
Rated is according to what the manufacture expects it to be the operating conditions, that includes discharge rate (C), actual voltage it needs to supply, temperature etc.
So this battery has 4000mAh, but inside this phone under conditions deemed normal operation range it will deliver ~3800mAh.
For some reason , the battery health is 94%. First time I've seen health scores below 100%.
Same here, I get around 3300mah for charges between 40—60%
As you can see below the results are quite good. Got 34h runtime with over 4h SOT.
The battery is still showed as small.
I did install the latest update, set preferred 3g (i have wifi almost everywhere and for background sync 3g is more than enough), and switched on battery saver in developer options (no idea if that helps).
I think the accubattery estimations are wrong because it shows the wrong charging current. The phone has 30W and Accu shows 4,8A and 3,9V which is around 20W.
This is very poor battery life.
1 day 10 hours idle is ok.
But 4hours screen time to 1% is extremely weak. 6-8 hours minimum expected in 2021
i was hoping to buy this phone as it's the only compact 5.9" phone but the CPU is just too high.
They need a weaker, less power using CPU version like snapdragon 760 midranger or even a lower spec 8 series snap.

This is not a good summary. 34h idle eats up around 60% so the SOT of 4h was only on 40% which is very good. When I use the phone more intensively I have around 14h use with 6h SOT. If you'd just use it purely with screen on you'd get over 7h SOT continuously.
For me the phone is enough - I get whole day off normal usage. There aren't any flagship specced phones that will get me through 2 days.
But you're right about the SOC - I would be happy with a 780 or 870 instead as I have no idea where I can use the power! But but 5.2, possibility of 5G, quicker photo processing have to stay.

Thanka.can you advise did you try the magisk module to modify the power profiles??
I'm curious what battery life you can get on the durable / ultra durable setting the developer made which limits cpu

No, I didn't play with any modding.
I have enabled power save in dev options. And I have auto ultra durable after 10pm. I just say that I can't see any difference in performance between this and dynamic. I have it still on 90hz as i changed the defaults.
From my experience the two things that kill the battery are AOD and location, but that's based on old firmware so maybe it's improved

I'd be happy if they use 870 instead of 888 but need to swap the main camera sensor from IMX686 with IMX766 to compensate with lower spec ISP..but that is just me =)
I got the ZF8 on Thursday afternoon and returned it on Saturday morning.
Something must be messed up with the way the phone is charging, or the battery is crap or a lot lower capacity than advertised.
I've been using the app for quite some years now, and never has it ever shown such a big difference in capacity after the first couple of charges.
I have reinstalled OOS on my 2 years old now OP7, and after first charge it reports 3300mAh out of 3800mAh originally, which is consistent with what I was getting on a few months installation of PE.
I installed it a few months back on my wife's S20FE and it was bang on with the reported capacity on the first charge.
I installed it on ZF8, and for a 20-100% charge it was saying 3087mAh out of 4000mAh. So 77% after the first charge, and it remained like that after the second. Too much of a difference to think nothing is wrong.
I'm sorry, I liked the phone and the size so much, but the battery lasted more or less about 75% of what my 2 year old OP7 lasts.
I am getting 3250 mAh in AccuBattery but I am using the special battery technology provided by Asus which charges the last 20 % very slowly. I think this crashes AccuBattery.
After 20 days of usage I get around 6,5 hours of screen time (fully charged) and I get through the day (from morning to morning) without any issues.
I've used the Galaxy s10e which provided lousy 3,5 h SOT which lead me to charging it 3 to 4 times a day.
Coming from bull**** to the Zenfone 8, I am quite happy - Especially since all the updates must have increased SOT dramatically.
This is what I've found too, that capping the battery charge at 80% makes accubattery think that the phone only has 80% of its health.
Same here, when I Drained the phone to 0 and charged to 100, accubattery showed 3950mAh, and when I Limit the charge to 80% it sits around 3000 mAh
