Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the LG Nexus 5X'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.

How about the battery life for things like video, or is that what you were doing?

You mean HEAVILY
Heavy usage scenario
Over 3 hours switching between gaming and streaming a live sporting event with Chrome, texting and emails in between. 40% brightness, no settings disabled, everything stock.
I'm impressed how games don't slow down to a crawl on this device even at its maximum throttled point, and the device stays quite cool as well. It has the perfect balance between performance, battery life and heat in these kinds of high load scenarios. In my experience this is a huge improvement over the N5 which was both hot and slow after 15-20 minutes of heavy usage.

Depending on game you can have an average of 4.5 hours of non-stop gaming which is impressive for this kind of performance. My best is 5.5 sot playing wonder tactics (yes it was a lazy lazy day)
From my side, in overall 4 hours of non-stop gaming using hard 3D games with wi-fi enabled and 50% of brightness.
If using web,YouTube and games battery drain fast.
Right now my phone lasts about 3-4 hours with heavy usage. I'm hoping I can get this straightened out. I may have to upgrade to the Nexus 6p or hope they develop a battery case for extended juice.
Heavy use endurance is poor, on a heavy usage day I go through two full charges.

Hi, I'm planning buy a XSP. I found on the internet a few battery test but no with gaming on mobile. I read from one person that gaming on this phone draining battery very quickly. Is it right? Can someone post you experience? For example if you play Real Racing 3 or some other high usage game for an one hour, how much it drain battery? Thanks

battery drain is high during game play
Device does/will get hot while playing after 10-15 minds hence battery drain.....
The device getting hot is OK if you are needing a hand warmer on a cold day.

Thanks . and about hot... I have now LG Optimus 4X HD and I think that this phone from LG is hotter in gaming and others
Yes the phone gets warm when gaming, but not excessive (like my old SGS2).
Battery goes down faster when gaming, but I wouldn't call it a drain. This is usual for all phones.
What I really value with SP here are 2 things:
1) it plays heavy graphical games very smoothly and
2) in standby stamina mode the phone almost doesn't use battery power.
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 Huawei P10 before depleting the battery.

a normal 3 to 5 hours screen on time compared to my prev iP6 plus with at least 5.5 hours sot.
With a minimal of camera usage, it will not last more than 4 hours...
Absolute rubbish. I get only 3-4 hours max on my device. Compare to my Moto G 2015 where I had 5-7hours is just not good enough.
I guess 6-7 hours. Chrome, WhatsApp. I seem to get better battery life using mobile networks. I can't confirm that though.

The same thing happened to me
Aprox 4h SoT. Wifi on, mobile data on, facebook, instagram, facebook messenger lite, whatsapp, internet, game (two dots). Lasts 24 hours without a problem. The relatively short SoT is because TWO DOTS (the game) eats battery pretty well. And from 11PM - 6AM battery consumtion is about 1%-2%.
So I am very happy.
And I am on L29C432B171 ...no root
Got pretty good sot Whit my p10 , some fb ,g+ internet browsing watching movies and ofc xda reading

I'm satisfied with this phone battery life especially after oreo update. I'm getting 4-5hours SOT after using phone for almost 1,5days~ always. Wifi/4g. Music/snapchat/instagram bla bla. Using a lot off apps for a little bit. Phone is almost 5 months olds
Around 6-7 hours. Chrome, WhatsApp, Telegram, a bit YouTube.

Sorry to your 3t SOT jealous. It's stunning from me because that's my own cycle of daily using a phone. Not like someone who can only tell a cycle by 100%--10%
proudly sharing my battery usage statics. During this time I have updated and installed lots of apps with torrents download

Now had my first Cycle. For that big screen it's more than good. In Comparison to Op5 and Nexus 6p you can see the difference Qhd on Nexus to FullHD on Op5 a day FullHD+ on Op5t. For all the people who want more Resolution inxmy opinion FullHD+ is best choice because it needs less battery and I can not see any Pixels on that great Samsung panels
I got 6 and 51 minutes SOT
24hrs later after first charge from yesterday.
6hrs SOT seems easy target from me. I Will try get some game play for heavy duty test in this weekend.
First full day of use, quite impressed!
I request the OP to edit his first post and tell the users to charge phone till 100% and let it discharge under 10% before posting SOTs without charging in between for the most accurate result.
I had the pleasure of using the OP5 before getting the OP5T and i feel OP5 battery drain was lesser as compared to the T. This is not to say that OP5T has a bad battery life but i was able to get 7.5-8 hrs on OP5 on moderate use with 5-8% remaining. On the T i get around 6-6.5 hrs which is decent. Maybe after a few cycles it might improve.
Awesome battery life guys
Typical usage day, 2.5 hours of YouTube and some video calls, chatting etc. OnePlus 3 I got 3 to 3.5 sot max (freedomOS and bluespark). WiFi and 4G.
I like this, never had even near 6 hours in any phone.
Happy but I think a custom rom will get more.

Easy answer: smaller Screen means less power consumption. Amoled 5.5 inch vs 6
Wait for updates they will improve bugs for more battery life I think.
First full charge and then this, transferred and installed lot of applications,watched a lot of videos.This is pretty amazing,love it
Loving the battery life. This is my first discharge cycle and it's double the sot as my old nexus 5x.
Amazing battery life
After my first charge to 100% this has been my battery life
Hello guys,
I heard a lot, and have seen many videos about this device's battery, and it's incredible. But they were draining it very hard , macimum brightness, and heavy games , full hd videos.
I need to know how long the battery should last with moderate usage and a screen brightness of 40% maximum on average?
Lasts Very Long Indeed

On average usage (Little Talking, Browsing, Navigating), mine lasts about 2.5 days.

On a daily usage of Calls, Social Media, etc you'll get 10hrs SOT easily and even more than that.
So what kind of battery is everyone getting. First day was getting horrible battery life and then this morning I remembered I never turned off WiFi and Bluetooth scanning. Once I did that battery had seemed to stabilize and seems much better.
When posting battery life please let us know whether your using 1080 P or 2K, and the refresh rate your running at. I'll update at the end of the day with my battery life.
Finally someone opened a separate thread for that d, not getting mine till early next week, looking forward to see others usage
Still at around 50% and about 3 hours SOT.
Light browsing, youtube, bunch of speed tests/emails etc.
Does as well, if not even better (after updates) than my 6T did. 90hz on and all.
First battery run, bot too shabby

After downloading 4 torrent files(2gb each), streaming 2 movies back to back on Netflix, playing Asphalt 9 for about an hour, clicking a few pictures. I think it's pretty good, almost as good as my Redmi Note 5 pro...
P.S - Screen resolution is 1080p though & 90hhz
People are getting pretty high times. Someone got over 10 hours of SOT
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/bqhlg8/oneplus_7_pro_first_day/
Here's my sot. Wanted to get it lower but I need to get the sack.
Pretty Good
Surprisingly, I am getting better battery life on a White Theme + Hyperion Launcher than I got on Dark Theme + Nova Launcher.
The Dark + Nova was my first setup after unboxing the phone. I factory reset the device and then let the theme be default, and installed Hyperion instead of nova.
Refresh Rate : 90Hz
Resolution : Auto Switch
Brightness : Auto
One additional change from when I had the dark theme is that I disabled Ambient Display showing when phone is picked (It only shows when a new notification comes in)
Enabled Double tap to wake.
Not entirely true

It is pretty easy to get numbers like the ones shown on the reddit thread.
I am pretty sure the person with the 10 Hours SOT did s quick top up at a around 40 or 50 % (And let the phone charge up to around 60 or 70)
That does not count as a full charge. And voila you get those impossible SOT numbers.
If someone with that kind of SOT does not also post a picture of the battery drain graph, dont believe them.

The person who's posted about the 10 hours sot did post screenshots and did not top off at all. Looked at the screenshots myself.
Not great, but here's mine with some moderate use

Ah, well if that is the case I am happy to be wrong about this.
Any ideas on how to get that kind of SOT while using the phone normally (Telegram, Whatsapp and other Social Media + Some youtube and games) ?
Thanks.
Got the phone today. I charged it to full, then started configuring everything. Heavy web browsing, set up about 30 apps, took 20 some odd photos, played around with every system setting I could find, and played 2 games for about an hour total. Oh, I use a persistent VPN 24/7, which tends to add to the data and battery drain as well.
Clearly, the battery is horrible.

Hey guys,
This is what I'm getting on Day 2 after I set everything up yesterday and it had several hours to settle in.
I'm at home on WiFi, it's pretty dull here today so low screen brightness and I'm not a heavy user (in terms of not playing games or demanding apps).
I dark mode everything and used root to optimise everything I can too so that will have helped.
Need a little more time to figure out how Idle drain will perform but right now for my usage pattern, this is the same / or better than what my OP6 would give me in similar circumstances.

Don't understand bad reputation of OP7pro battery life...
Mine is way better than my OP6
Last firmware 9.5.4, charged it yesterday morning at 100%, dropped at 49% (3h50 SOT) when i went to sleep, moderate use, gps, bt, no games, all default settings, brightness at 50%
So it's a good 2 days battery for me

He wasn't talking about me, he was talking about someone that posted I think on Reddit that claimed to get 10+ hours sot with this phone. He apparently didn't see that they did post pictures as proof.
I'm on my first cycle and pretty satisfied with battery life.
These are the stats but keep in mind that I started with 90 %.
Always on 90 Hz, auto resolution, two SIM cards, only mobile internet. Brightness is on auto, I texted a lot, surfed, had some calls, instagram, Facebook etc.
I'll keep an eye on this but so far I can't complain!
