Just received mine yesterday and got 9hrs SOT. After HEAVY usage. Games, videos, camera, etc.
So far, I am shocked by the battery life.

Maybe this was tested before the mentioned updates which improved battery life
Read some reviews and saw video on youtube, the Mate 10 battery life sucks big time, it loses to S8 and Note 8 which is quite embarrassing, barely better than iphone.
I wonder if the update resolved the issue.

Mrwhotheboss review was done before the rom update was released. And running Antutu several times is not even reliable way of finding battery life.

Yep but it still weird to see the Mate loses like that, i hope Huawei will address it, or they already have.
Soon we will have the official reviews, then we can judge.

It did well on gsmarena battery test:
https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_10-review-1675p3.php
For me phones that have 80h+ on gsmarena battery test are 5-6hours sot phones with the heaviest of usage and with moderate usage they can last couple of days so battery wise everything seems good.
Here’s new review that also mentions sot and shows battery usage. I am sold thats its ok in terms of battery. Dude has 6hours of sot on heavy usage.
https://youtu.be/KLa_0dyIIr4
Well so far I'm getting over an hour SOT every 10% of batter, this is what I hoped. Pic and so on will come. And yes those tube videos really did scare me too
Anyone found a video of the 10 vs 10 pro for battery life? Really want to see how mine is against the pro

I guess it's good, the Mate 9 really set up very high standards , i see the Mate 10 is not an improvement in battery life, at least not directly as it has higher display panel but more efficient CPU.

Notebookcheck battery test results for Mate 10 pro.
Greatest battery life ever
One hour and 30 minutes sot before it got to 90% then slowly to this lever. This is almost all 4g, bluetooth on all the time andI toggle gps as I need it, which wasn't much at all today. No games today either which I hardly play. On mate 9 I'd have 20% work plus 7 hours sot. Withth this I got over 40%
I have the cat 18 high speed setting on too, maybe I'll get more battery disabling this setting. Sitting at 40% left after 7hrs 35 mins sot, Not bad
Really want to see how the mate 10 stacks against mate 10 pro battery life wise

This is the second day of using the phone. I would say I am a heavy user. My result is below. It's good but I was expecting more as Huawei says the 970 is more efficient than the 960.
After 20 hours since full charge this is very good battery life! On course to get over 11 hours sot over such a long period of time.
Hour sot, only used 5% battery
loving the battery
Can you guys put above the screenshot which version of Mate are you using? Thanks

Coming from a Mate 9. You have to give it time to adjust to you to get optimal results. Anyone posting the first week battery results, it's nearly the same as an ordinary phone. Still a good base to go on. The ai still needs time for pattern adjustment to unlock it's true potential.

Probably I will buy this phone anyway just to test the quad core cpu.

Using a fixed brightness is pointless if you want to compare across devices. What is 50% on some devices might be 70% on others.
The only way to truly compare would be to use a brightness meter on a reference image to set brightnesses the same on two devices.
It has already been said that the Optimus 4X is much brighter than most LCDs, and I'd be inclined to agree, it really helps for sunlight legibility.
Low battery life
I experience the same problem. I am a heavy user of the phone so the screen is on often.
My experience is too much comparable with my previous phone, the sony xperia x10 which has a battery issue.
My phone becomes also very hot while charging. I never experienced this with a phone so much as with this one.
I will factory reset the phone and perform a battery test. I will keep you posted.
Have you updated your phone ?
The v10b update is supposed to fix the battery and heat issues.
I am on version v10b and after like 10 charging cycles i must conclude that battery life suks

Update your phone. The battery life is improved with v10d firmware.

have you wiped the device before/after the update, i did booth, wiped before and after the update, will check battery live
after a few full loads, but overnight i lose around 12% with data (GSM) and wifi on (wifi on only when charging or screen on)
in 9 hours...
i think we can only get better results if we get root and custom kernels / roms .....
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 Nexus 5X before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Typically 3-5 hours SoT over 1-2 days with this device.

I usually get 3.5 hours(4 if I'm REALLY lucky) over maybe 12-14 hours off the charger.
Excellent!
About 3 to 3.5 hours of screen on time under normal use.
less if I'm using it less and phone spent more time on standby / idling.
I get 4h00 pretty consistently. High accuracy. OK Google off. Location History on.

You replied directly to me which would indicate that you're trying to let me know about that, as opposed to a general reply which would be directed at the thread. I'm well aware of the implications of screen time and its inaccuracy as a "be all end all" measurement for battery life.
I provided much more information than just SoT though. I indicated over 1-2 days and also provided detailed screenshots of one of my results. That's about as much battery information that I could possibly provide so I'm not sure what more you were hoping to find. Maybe some official stats from professionally tested battery reviews could be helpful as well. Please do let me know what else we can add here to provide a clearer picture of 5x battery life.

Honestly, you are on wrong thread... this is all about SOT, not battery life or how to mesuare battery life. talk about SOT are simply like
result 1:
while i just usage on my phone, just normal FB, social chat, hang out gps's apps without gaming(50% of my usage are under wifi zone), i manage to get 3.5H(3H 30M) sot in 1 cycle charge.
result 2:
i do play games like CoC and alpha 8(or some sort of heavy games?) and i just manage to get 2.5H SOT, data only(no use of wifi, note that under wifi condition will have lower battery drain in standby).
talking about SOT are just mainly giving idea to reader how this phone last in 1 cycle battery charge. because everyone are using their phone different way, but SOT can giving such similar result over user.
its not about battery life(there is another thread for battery life). But thanks for the info too...
I typically get about 3 hours of SoT. That doesn't include any video which allows you to rack up a ton of screen on time. I try to charge my phone when I go to bed at night but if I don't I can usually get through almost a second day with it. I am still super annoyed they didn't include wireless charging or an easy way to add it in this phone.

Hey all. I just got my s6 active via insurance upgrade about 5 days ago.. I expected more battery from what I read... I unplugged it this morning at 525 and by 625 I was at 92%. Is this normal? The battery screen doesn't add up to the battery % lost. I'm just trying to figure out how everyone is getting this great battery. Is it possible they sent me a referbed with a used battery? Many days/weeks of running the phone will it take in order for the battery to even out?

Seems like your phone doesn't go into deep sleep. There is a rogue app that is probably causing your phone not going into deep sleep. Find the app cure the problem.
Yes it does take many cycles for the battery to reach optimal battery life
Nothing keeping it alive.... Cpu sleep time is the majority of the time. I do use my phone heavily. But i get about the same life as I did with my s5 active..
Same here. I "upgraded" from a 6S on the premise of much better battery life and waterproof without the need of a LifeProof case.
So far I'm getting about the same, maybe less life out of it than my iPhone. I've been out of the Android game for almost 2 years, what can I do to fix this?
Based on battery tests and whatnot, I should be losing around 6-7% per hour, instead of the 10-12% I'm losing now, about on par with an iPhone with half the battery size.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Noob mistake, forgot to mention I'm on the forced 5.1.1 version.

The 5.1.1 version was a battery hog for me too. Before it, i would make it til bedtime with about 30-40% battery of moderate usage. During the 5.1.1 upgrade i was at 40-50% before lunch! Had to charge twice daily. Now with Marshmallow, i'm back up to all day battery. Even lately being a heavy user, it'll generally last all day. I might be at 5% by bedtime, but it'll last all day.

How much SOT do you get?
I lose about 6% per hour if I watch videos on wifi, however I lose 1% every 6-7 minutes if I'm using my phone for anything else.
What system process is killing the battery? There's no reason I shouldn't get over 12 hours of SOT from daily usage.

I don't know how to say this without sounding condescending, i don't mean to, but you're insane if you think you should get anywhere near 12 hours SOT. Let alone "no reason I shouldn't get over 12 hours of SOT". I doubt I could get 12 hours SOT with 2 batteries.
I average 5-6 hours SOT which i think is actually pretty awesome, (And that's with the dark theme). I honestly don't count battery percentages and compare videos to surfing/browsing. I just know that i can use my phone all day and I don't have to charge it until bedtime.

Their web browsing test is a more realistic expectation, which is why I said 12. They got 16 hours, which I don't doubt, but this phone draining comparably to a 4+ year old HTC? Not at all impressed.
I have screenshots where I tested their results vs actual daily usage and they were very close for every phone.
But no worries, I'm glad you're satisfied with your phone's performance.

A few new phones have come out with massive batteries, but still not 12 hours SOT. One guy with a 10Ah zerolemon on his note 4 was able to get 16 hours (unverified), but that's the best i've ever heard.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-active-battery-life-test/
The One X, S3, LG G2, and iPhone 6 & 6S web browsing results were great representations of what I could expect as far as smartphone battery goes. I've had more phones than I can count, but those were the ones I kept the longest and remember the results off the top of my head.
I can find my old One X SOT screenshots to further prove my point.

This makes no sense to me. In their test, the battery lasted longer playing videos, than web surfing? Something is off here. I've never seen a phone have more than 6 hours SOT, ever (with the exception of extended batteries). Maybe if the phone was in extreme battery saver mode and the screen was at the lowest setting possible, and it was only on 3g, it might be possible to get 6 hours. I'm not calling you a liar, or the article you posted a lie, i just have to believe something else is going on. If i was to get 12+ hours of SOT, for me, that would be equivlent to the phone lasting me all work week.
I hope you get your battery life figured out, but i have to believe we're on different pages here about something. There was an update pushed out this morning, maybe it will help a little.
Not getting this "awesome" battery life??
Yes, this is due to less CPU usage and videos/movies are not almost entirely white.
I looped a couple of YouTube movies and left the S6 Active running all night at 50% brightness with only wifi on. I woke up, 8 or so hours of SOT, and the battery has 59% left. This leads me to believe it's a system app, more than likely a Samsung one, since all of my other Android phones don't have this issue.
I'll post up actual pictures when I get home, I'm back on my iPhone.
You haven't been here long, which is fine, but trust me when I say that there's something draining the battery. A G2 with a 3000mAh battery lasted over 9 hours consistently with data on, the S6A should have no problem matching that.

Hello I have recently purchased an used S6 active gsm unlockrd with android 5.1. This is my first day with it I still don't know about the battery stats anyway I would like to know if I will get improvement in marshmallow. What are the advantages. Also since at the s6 and s6 edge the marshmallow update improved the camera speed. I would like to know if it will improve also the camera speed. Thanks

Hmmm, maybe i'm just considering real world use instead of ideal conditions. Kinda like how i'm supposed to get 35 mpg in my car, but actually only get about 26-27.
When i was on 5.1.1 and had insane battery drainage, all of my research and testing said it was kernel related. I just stuck it out and waited for marshmallow, and now my battery is back to acceptable to me.
Keep us updated if you figure it out, even though i'm relatively happy with my battery life, i'm always happy to get more.
P.S. I've actually been here longer than you, so i'm not sure if that was directed at me. You are way more active and most likely way more software savvy than i am, but i've been here a long time.

Yeah he gained 9% battery by leaving his phone on all night, lol. I kid, maybe i'm just reading it wrong.
"left running all night at 50% battery life....... I woke up, and the battery has 59% left"

I meant brightness, too many ideas at once haha. I'm posting actual pictures in a second, and will keep the phone running while I'm at work.
It has to do with a Samsung "feature", I've turned off most of them from settings. Next will be disabling packages.
It sucks that we don't have root, it seems like an AOSP Rom would net us the battery life that we should get.

Is there anyone with the Exynos version of the Note 9 that can comment on the battery life they are getting?
I really want to get the Note 9 but after the problems with S9/S9+ battery life I am reluctant at the moment.
I am loving it. I use the exynos version, I get about 8-9 hours screen time and 24 hours screen off time.

I'd like to see the apps you use and the battery graph. If you can screen shot them it will be great. Also I believe that 8 to 9 hours of screen on time isn't intensive apps.
Also it may not be the case after some usage
8-9 SOT would require a lowered down brightness to 40% I think.
4-5hrs of SOT during the day and 15% battery charge remaining at the end of the day.
I think I'll be that guy who will dream (as always btw) about 5+hrs of SOT

What was your previous phone and how does the note 9 compare under same usage? Does it feel warmer?

I feel like you would have to not use any calling features. That's the only way I've ever been able to get over 5 hours on any device in the past.

Note 4.
Whatever I did (disable everything, custom roms, greenify) - always 3hrs max with extremely rare exceptions.
Note 9 is not warmer at all.

Same here.
4+hrs: always on strong wifi (basically all day at home), web browsing, email, no games or heavy apps.
But this is not the way phones are used At least by xda crowd

4 Hours is major disappointment. Can't believe this is a 4k battery.
My Note 8 can get this easily. Perhaps the Exynos chip is faulty.

Its not faulty, its the way its scheduler and dvfs configurations are set up. Been covered extensively on the s9, remains to be seen if sammy has adjusted it on the Note 9.
See here:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/12615/improving-exynos-9810-galaxy-s9-part-1
That said the battery life on my exynos S9 plus has been fine, no complaints and I routinely see 5hrs + SOT.

Yeah it seems to be an exynos chip issue.
But its not all that bad. Propably software updates ruin the kernel preformence.

are there any custom roms that fix the battery issue?
Battery backup on my Note 9 (exynos, 512/8) is fine. I am getting 6.5+ hours screen on time and about 1.5 days of standby time on moderate use with 4g LTE on all the time, chrome browsing, some youtube, music over bluetooth, whatsapp, gmail, paytm, voice calls, texts, camera use etc on all stock (default) Samsung firmware. A few apps like Facebook disabled. Auto brightness on, qhd+ screen resolution, location on, auto sync disabled and default white theme.

I could only manage 5 hours screen on time and 1 days standby on my note 8 on similar (4g data only) usage.
got mine yesterday, so far it's very nice.
Mine's 4.5 hrs sot. Mostly browsing and gaming, Auto brightness on.
Previous phone was axon 7 and i only get 2-3 hrs with that.

Just take a pinch of salt of that ridiculous 8/9 sot. Other users been reporting 4-5 hours. I have a 4+hours sot.
Max 4h of SoT with usage pattern of social media (no Facebook app installed), Spotify, browsing internet. Major disappointment for a 4000 mAh battery. My iPhone X was able to easily get at least 5h (even 6h sometimes)
I am going to repost this from another forum, can't be @$$'d to retype it lol....
Ok so I have tested the Exynos battery this weekend by doing my normal day to day usage, of course there will be more intensive days but this is my basic usage which would be a bit of Facebook, YouTube, mostly browsing the internet, around 30 mins of calls, texts etc but no intensive stuff.
Now for around one day I used the mid power saving that's because the first day I was using a mix of max power and optimized usage.
I would have let it run further but I need my phone for later.
So,
Here it is........

Now I did do a test on my Note 8 battery in the early days last year also which can be found on this thread....https://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ml#post6186172
But this was tested using the mid power setting all of the time.
Really disappointed of the battery life. Wasn't the 888 supposed to be more battery efficient than the 865?
Light usage, not even 6h of SOT with 13% left. With indoor use (low brightness, wifi) , 120hz FHD+.
Compared to my OnePlus 8T, i can get slightly more than 7h of SOT...
What's your battery life ?

Yes it supposed to be more battery efficient than the 865 but it isn't , at least for now. maybe they will tweak it in next few months. we will see. But you can do some tweaks also and you should get improvement. I see some people complaining about chrome using a lot of battery so I would uninstall it for the start and use some other browser , I can recommend kiwi with built in ad blocker and dark theme and is super light. But there's many other. Also today I was experimenting with dynamic wallpapers and I saw significant battery drain which was very noticeable so I just put black background. I never went to battery to follow what's going on , my device easily go through the day with normal use. I would say from 7 to 23 my battery goes from 100% to 10 - 30% depending on the use. For me I am very satisfied with the battery life.
For me only 2h max screen on ... I hâte this phone lol. My Poco F1 is better for batteur life

How is that possible? 2h is just crazy.
From 100% to 9% with over 7h SoT without any charging. Sorry for screenshot without graph :/
@Asnamus your screenshots are not really helpful and funny, cuz you charge your phone @zacer I don't know what you try to do but why you can't provide screenshots? I will tell you why.
With stock global rom and also with beta 12.5 the battery life on Mi11 is really bad.
Staying home, almost only wifi and things like whatsapp, firefox, etc. without gaming or camera you will get about 6h SOT with 15h standby. If you are not home and use mobile data it's the worst battery life ever. It's like a Galaxy S6.
They will never fix this because the device is already +3 months old.

Today I will do the test and post , I am also interested what will be the result. My screen shot yesterday is a honest screen shot at that moment. It was more about how much Kiwi consump battery comparing to Crome and Themes (dynamic wallpapers)
@Linuxkek I didn't charge you can believe me or not. I just made that screenshot for my friend, sent him, and connected to charger(so the stats has been reset) . After that I saw this thread on forum and I pasted my result.
Like I sad you need to tweak a bit your device. I got 8h of SOT today with whole day abuse of the phone on maxed settings. 120hz 2k resolution and all ai turned on.
For me, not so far than 8h SOT with WQHD+, 120 Hz and AI activated all time for the first full charge.
Facebook app is causing random heating and battery drain.
Yesterday I had this issue and discovered that facebook app caused it. So I uninstalled it and I use Maki Plus for facebook. Great app. I must say that I got around 6h sot yesterday with this problem.
The word that describes my experience with this phone battery life is disappointment.
I am using it at FHD+ and 120Hz and I get 3,30-4 h of SOT. I does not matter if I use dark mode or not and I have already debloated the device.
I don´t think this is a hardware issue anyways so I hope it gets some kind of solution.
I will return it, really too bad. Miui is full of bugs, even with lot of compromises in my usage (dark mode, kiwi browser with night mode, black wallpaper...) Still get bad battery life.
Only 9h with 6h of SOT, whereas for a very similar usage, on my OnePlus 8T, i can get 24h with 8h of SOT.
According to Anandtech, they confirm that there is definitly something wrong about battery life, but they can't tell if it's hardware or software issue.

It's definitely this "other". I don't know what a construction is this, the weirdest thing is that you can't find any information about, I never saw it on any other phone, and it sucks your battery off. I don't use games, any social, no demanding graphic, and I can't imagine what could be possibly hidden inside. Besides it waste the battery it looks shady.
for me first charge , 5h45 SOT , debloated, 1h45 calls , 24 h standby. disapointed
i am not sure why but with my mi11 i get a much higher SOT as with my Op8 Pro
the main difference
my Op8 Pro i restored from an oldbackup
my Mi11 i completely installed new every app, every setting
also i searched a little MIUI 12 Battery saving guide, applied some of the things which did not bother me too much and voila, i end up with 7+h SOT a day incl some walks with GPS, listen podcasts via bluetooth
FHD and 120Hz settings
i am satisfied with that, my OP8 Pro which i used the same only got me like 4,5h on a good day
Do you think 230 mah for "other" is normal?
I was on the latest cn rom waiting for the bootloader unlocking. Battery life was great. Averaging 10-9 hours of intense use.
After flashing eu 21.3.11 rom, the state of battery has deteriorated quite alot. I need to charge it at least twice to last for a whole day.
Is there a possibility to downgrade the rom to the previous version as I have seen people complaining after updating, or should I just for a fix in the upcoming update?
