I know it's a large battery that's why I'm asking this question. My p9 plus drops from 100-95 relatively quickly just by using whatsapp and instagram. like less than an hour. Is that normal or is it just me?
Sorry but that is bad?
Which mobile are you coming from???

errr..? the huawei p9 plus? Cause some people say they could get more than a day out of this phone with normal usage but I can't seem to do that haha. I could if I keep the screen off like most of the time but definitely not normal usage.
A lot depends on the phone signal, if you move into areas where the signal is poor the phone is constantly looking to better that signal... Using more power. 5% an hour is pretty good by my reconning.. Will give you around 20 hours to zero.
I am coming from samsung A8. Comparing A8 the p9 plus is better in battery back up for me.
Mine is good too. Comparing with Xperia Z1 Compact is much much better. I have 5 to 6 hours of SOT and above average usage. With normal usage usualy I have close to 7 hours and 3 to 5% juice in it.
my battery life is amazing, best I've ever had on a phone, I would install wakelock detector and see whats eating your battery, I recently got over a 100 hrs between charges which is amazing, SOT was 7 hours 26 min, I do have greenify installed though which helps.
2 days and 1 hour here with 22℅ left and 5 hours SOT
This thing is just amazing
For me battery is perfect, mostly 2 days between charge and 6 hours SOT, no root pure stock for now all with normal usage.
Best battery I've ever had on any phone, even the ones with 4000mAh battery can't match this. This thing just rocks! After 3 full charging cycles I am stable on 2 days between charging with most of the time on wi-fi or 4g/3g and gps on when needed and my SOT is 8hrs up. Righ now I have 11%batt remaining and 8hrs 01min SOT.

What do you mean full charge cycle? And 2 days with 6 hours screen on time meaning your battery can last 2 days inclusive of the 6 hours SOT? cause for mine, I plugged it out at 9am and now it's already at 49%. Screen on time probably about 3-4 hours so far.
That is insane amount of screen on time. If this for was 2k screen I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I have to wait for the P10 Plus

i think he means that he load the P9 Plus 3 time from 0 to 100%
Dropping from 100% to 95% after using Whatspp and Instagram for an hour is normal. My P9 Plus can last me more than 1 day with noramal browsing, emails, SMS and Whatsapp. It is way better than my LG V10.
First battery cycle and second cycle
WhatsApp all day
1 hour instagram
1 hour eyeem
2 hours lightning browser
Some photos
Easy 6+ hours SOT
The battery is not as good as I expected. I unplugged it at 6.45am and my usage are as follows:
WhatsApp
Facebook
Clash of Clans
Instagram
WeChat
and a little bit of browsing
My battery was 11% when I got home at 7pm. SOT was around 3 hours. Is this normal? I have to charge my phone everyday unlike what others has said.
everyone have different apps installed and we all use our device differently. Waste of time to compare each others battery life.
I have a lot of **** running in the background and i just charge when i need. Nothing i worry about, always a arm length from an electrical outlet. (home, work, school, train etc.)

Unfortunately all the apps u r running are power-intensive. I suppose if u keep running those apps from 6.45am until 7pm (which is more than 12 hours) and still left some juice on it, this should consider very good battery life already.
The P10 should be a serious contender when it comes out. I am torn between Samsung S8, Sony Zeus and the P10 Plus. I'm really interested to see what the P10 plus and Sony Zeus have to offer.
I just got phone two days now ,At second charge,very satisfied
What SOT you get?
i will soon get the phone from aliexpress i report the times
Enough to not even care about battery usage at all.
Agree. I seem to get over two days of battery, almost three. Somewhere around 9-10h SOT.
I have 2-2,5 days and 9-12 h SOT
Didnt really check. But i can say that it was 10+ for sure.
Edit: okay so i full charged my phone. I still have 46% battery left and SOT already crossed 10 hrs.
Brightness at 50% and wifi in flight mode i get 12-19 sot, bightness at 100% and mobile data (3g) i get 6-8 sot with vpn
On average i get around 5-7 hrs sot with stock kernel depending upon how heavy the usage was.
Currently i am satisfied with the results.
Everyone share your sot.
Mine is 8+ hours.
But it's been just 4 days since I got this amazing mobile.
I had Pixel 3 before this and had to charge it twice daily. Life seemed tense then.
I don't play any games and I've literally found no difference in usage with 3a other than the amazing battery life.
Love it.
Mine is 6+ hours light usage, 4/5 when i play some games heavy usage (a little bit of wifi, much 4g)
Hey,
Finally I bought this beautiful phone and used it for couple of days but I'm not verry impressed with the battery life
I only get 4:45 5 hours of screen on time
Is this normal?
What is your opinion about this?
There is a battery life thread already. Go there and read it. You'll find plenty of opinions.
SOT is a nonsense way to measure IMHO.
As it would really depend on how one uses the phone.
I get anything between 5- 8 hours SOT depending on what I do.
120htz, 5g, Bluetooth and screen brightness on 50%
Rest is all auto or adaptive.
Working days I come home with around 70% battery and them try to deplete it by playing COD and stuff in the evening and still have 40 -30 % left.
I do charge overnight regardless how much battery is left as I like a full battery in the mornings.
So I'm coming from a 3 XL, and I even got the battery replaced April 2021, and I was getting about four hours SoT. My 7 in only two days is blowing my mind. Yesterday I had five hours SoT, and today after a full charge, It went from 100% to 99% in 28 minutes of continuous use. Like browsing Instagram, playing a game of Clash Royale, and just playing on the phone. Usually you need a couple of days for the phone to settle in to see "good" battery life, but this thing is blowing my mind. Any one else?
The 100% to 99% is always a lie... I have the 7 pro and I am highly disappointed. Less than 6 hours SOT with most of the time on wifi is sad.
I understand that, but compared to my 3 XL, battery life is excellent even before the full break-in period. So far today I have 3 and 1/2 SoT with 99% of that playing a game, and I'm at 65% battery. To me that is insane. Again on my 3 XL I'd be around 15%.
Quick update. Just dropped below 30%, and getting over seven hours SoT. I'm loving this battery life.
