Heavy use endurance

Heavy use endurance - Galaxy Note5 Real Life Review

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note5'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.

Playing hard while using less power is what the Note 5 is capable of. Although it's kinda odd the idle power consumption is kinda higher than a heavy gameplay.

I'm getting 30-35% per hour in heavy use mode. Moderate brightness gaming at FullHD. Less than 3 hours of play - not even close to enough. One-way trip to the center of my town in rush hour takes 1.5 hours of time and more than 50% of battery. Can't hold it alive even till the midday without charging... Waiting for my battery case to arrive but overall it is disappointing. I had more battery life on my note 2.

22 hours straight???

Light use endurance

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 LG Nexus 5X'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.

Lasts me all day with lots left. Sitting around 89% after a full day. If it drains to 80% by 12 that means it lasts a full 4 days just receiving phone calls that last 10 minutes and playing an intensive game for 1 minute

Doze means the device can idle for days and barely lose any battery.

Much better than my N5, although in general I've probably been using it even less lately.

I only just get through a day, It was fine a month ago not so much now.

Even with fairly light usage, it just doesn't get me through a day.

Light usage endurance has been great. I can go 36+ hrs with Pure Nexus, EX kernel and some governor tweaks.

1 to 3 hours of phone use a day.
30 to 50 emails a day.
5 to 200 texts a day.
1 to 3 hours on Google, Web-Sites, Forums, etc.
Location Services and WiFi always ON.
Random Bluetooth use (driving only - connected to Hand Free in car)
I shut the apps down after using them.
This is a "normal" day ... and I get 10 to 12 hours with no problems. It's better than my previous phones!

Can this phone do heavy performances? heavy games??? Without any lag??
In benchmarks its level isnt so high but what in reality????

Nope. I play Simcity Buildit pretty often and this phon lags worse than my M8 HK and Nexus 7 (2013 wifi). There is a setting in the battery settings that modifies game frame rates to improve battery life. Didn't notice a difference in performance with or without this feature activated.
Honestly, if you visit a website with more than 1 or 2 ads (eg XDA as I'm typing right now) you'll experience lag. But the biggest issue is the battery life. I go through about 1% per minute playing Simcity. I feel like I'm playing on my 10 year old G1. At least back then having horrific battery performance was kind of expected. I'm returning this phone ASAP.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.5 hours of screen time
No emails
No texts
1 hour of web use
Location services and wifi on all day
Bluetooth off and no Bluetooth use
No shutting down apps (this is better for battery life on lollipop than killing them, and why not have multitasking capabilities? This is 2016 with a $700 phone)
The phone limps into 12 hours but only after consciously trying not to use it after %30 because I still had 5 hours left in my day.
My useage is normally double or triple this.
I get 16-20 hours easily with my normal useage on my HTC M8 HK with battery saver on (yes it's a little slower, but not problematically so).
TLDR: My nearly 2 year old phone outperforms a phone released 5 months ago. I'm returning the LG ASAP.
