Battery life so far and that's with over 3 hours of gaming, 1 hour of podcast listening, 1 hour listening to Google music, 1 hour of YouTube as well as Facebook, Tapatalk, discord ect. I have to say I'm pretty much blown away.

What is your location mode? High Accuracy, batter saving, or device only?

I'm gonna guess battery saving
Battery saver. I only really need it so the weather app works properly.

But this was using no other battery saving techniques. With things like greenify with aggressive doze, lowering resolution to 1080p ect I'm sure I could extend this even more if I really wanted. Not only that but the game I was playing is a 3d MMORPG with graphics set to med/ high.

So far I've only had one real heavy usage day.
I was on a mix of LTE and wifi, browsed with Chrome, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 30 minutes YouTube, 1 hour streaming Google Play Music to Bluetooth headphones, 15 minutes playing Asphalt 8, brightness at 20%, Now Playing on, Google account syncing, Location on high accuracy and battery saving off. At the end of the day I was literally trying to kill the battery but it was getting late and I was tired.
Under the same conditions my Nexus 5X, even when it was brand new, only got like 3 hours screen on time with the same off the charger time.
First phone I've ever had that I can actually say has great battery life. It more than makes up for the blue tint that I only even see if I'm looking for it.
Been at a conference last few days in a row. Historically I bring a charger with me because usually I'm just sitting there on my phone.
Don't have my actual battery performance but started with 100% out of my car. Purposefully left a charger in the car.
Used tons of XDA, Facebook, browser text email etc and had 40-60% remaining after about 7 hours onsight each day.
Great battery for working professionals or any heavy user
Much better lasting than i expected. 3500mah compared to the 3000 mah of Nexus 6, and it lasts 2 days easily on light to moderate use.
EDIT: i meant nexus 6

I'm downright impressed with the battery on this phone. I was at the hospital for 3 days with no charger, and it lasted the whole time. Granted, I pretty much don't use any app other than firefox, but at the same time, I never turned on the TV (I honestly don't care for watching TV) and my phone was all I had to entertain myself, so the screen was on a lot.

Yeah even better! Even with a 3220 battery, it barely lasted for almost a day. Granted it was after 3 years of using the phone, so at the time i bought it, it would have lasted maybe 1.5 days. But when i went 3 days without charging the pixel 2xl, that was something else.
Upgraded from a Nexus 6 as well. With he same apps installed, and with everything else as similar as possible (i.e. batter saver disabled, location high-accuracy, same google accounts added, etc.), and with hte N6 rooted and running Pixel Launcher and wallpaper app, *and* with the N6 being a 2nd replacement (having replaced my original purchase due to batterygate in Jan 2015, and then having lost the second device in Jan 2016 and relacing it with the last completely new in a box N6 that I found only) and thus around 1.75 years of actual use (versus a true 3 years), I can say that my N6 will die easily in ~4 hours of intensive video game playing (games like PotC: Tides of War and Lineag 2: Evolution) but the Pixel 2 XL has let me play 7+ hours continuously and still had well over 30%.
Being the holidays, I don't have that much time to dedicate to playing games in one sitting, but I can fire up Lineage 2 and auto hunt for a long time, with the phone sitting off to the side, if anyone requires actual visual proof.
Also, relate to this, even if I am playing either game and connect to my charger, the phone barely gets warm, whereas my N6 would get almost unbearably hot if I charged and played at the same time.
If you aren't fortunate to live on wifi and have bad service, my battery life is dropping. I'm down to 10 hours with 2 hours of SOT. First day was much better. I am using a third party charger. Does that drop battery life?

That's pretty terrible. Never got lower than maybe 4.5 hours SOT and that was out and about at Disney World for 16 hours. Mostly the bad service that's killing your battery because it's searching for stronger signal. Doubtful 3rd party charger would be doing this. Screenshots?
So far today

Yeah, something is wrong. A few weeks about I had a long day out using mobile data only with signal average to bad browsing, Facebook, texting, 30 minutes of calls, 45 minutes of Google Maps navigation with the screen always on and playing music over Bluetooth to my car for like 2 hours and even like 15 minutes of Asphalt 8 and I ended the day with like 6 hours SOT and 20 hours off the charger and still had like 10% left. That's the absolute WORST I've ever seen. On wifi all the time with good cell signal just browsing and Facebook I've gotten 9 hours SOT over like 40 hours at best. Average with a mix of usage is about 7 hours SOT with about 32 hours off the charger. Individual results will obviously vary but if you are getting a lot less than what I get, which is pretty typical from all the user experience I've read, something is wrong.
Can anyone tell me what is the screen time you get on a pixel 2 Xl iam getting 4.00 hours with 80% battery used and 20% battery left with full recharge 15:20 hour's ago
With talk time of roughly 1:45 minutes used.
How i'm /my phone is doing.
Read somewhere people are getting 8+hour's of screen time with 10% battery still left.

Good day to all the people using the Honor 6 H60-L04,
I currently have a Moto X 2013 and I love almost everything about it. The one thing that really makes me mad about the phone is the battery. I can get 6:30 hours of SoT during normal use, but during Standby / Sleep mode the phone eats a minimum of 2.0% to 3.0% drain per hour. It does not matter if the phone is even in Airplane mode, it drains about the same.
Now, I am looking for a phone that will not need to have everything turned off just to have 1 day of regular use and to have a small drain per hour when the phone is not being used.
Could some users share their average Standby time on their Honor 6? Other than not being splashproof (Why couldn't Huawei follow the steps of the Honor 3?), the Honor 6 is the most attractive option for me right now due to price and performance, just need to know how is the avg drain per hour when screen off is to make a decision.
At night my battery was eat 1%
So in about 8hrs it drops 1%? If you use GSAM Battery Monitor it would say a little more than 0.1%/hour or similar?
Running the latest CM11. I lose maybe 4% every 24 hours in standby. My last battery cycle to 4% was 6 hours screen time, 2 days 14 hours total.
I received the Honor 6 on Friday, very happy with it! Tried this last night, and between 1am and 9 this morning it was only 1%, with wifi on all the time.

Hi,
Question, was it 1% battery drop total from 1AM till 9AM, so for example from 100% to 99% or a 1% battery drop per hour every hour from 1AM till 9AM, so 100% to 92%

Those are some solid numbers. Would you consider yourself a heavy user? How did you use the phone during that period of time?

1% in total. I went from 27 to 26% overnight.
Still very happy with the H60 battery-life, I consider myself as a heavy user (whatsapp, facebook, twitter, etc) and I get around 6h of screen-on time.

Wow,
that is awesome. Too bad I found out that the phone is very weak in the sound department. I saw samples of videos taken in noisy environments (concert) and the sound was awful. Also, some reviews and users report that the sound coming out of the headphone jack is also of very low quality compared to other phones on the same price range.

I'm a medium to heavy user at home, browsing on Chrome, WhatsApp, YouTube. I usually get 6 hours of on screen time on heavy use with WiFi.
But if I am at the office, I will put my phone on 2G GSM just for replying messages and this will make my phone last for 1 day 12 hours at most with probably 3 hours on screen time.
Sound wise, the speakers at the back of the phone is not that great because it is a mono speaker. I am not so much of a music/sound person so that does not bother me as long as the volume is loud enough for me to hear my phone rings.
Earphones/headphones wise, i am happy with the quality of sound and I am only using my cheap CreaTive earphones.
Thanks for the feedback. For the battery, it is odd that it would last so little on 2G considering what was said before that the phone has excellent stand by time battery usage. If I was you, I would check if your phone is going into sleep mode while at the office, it could be something is keeping it awake.
For the sound, I am a heavy music listener and this is a deal breaker. On top of that, the audio during video recording is bad, and you won't notice until that special moment when you want to record a video and then you play it back and the sound is horrible with clipping and distortion (like on my old Galaxy S2).

Yeah like i said, replying messages on office days. So i always check my phone every minute. The culprit is too many incoming WhatsApp Group chats.
I've tried using the protected app feature and kill all background apps. It does make a big difference, i have seen my phone going more than 2 days unplugged with battery life still remaining more than 10%.
So it depends on the user really. Im too lazy to kill apps nowadays, because to me 1full day of battery life with 3G & medium usage is good enough. .
I have bought brand new honor 6, 2 weeks ago..
I have noticed that its draining very fast. 5-6% just 6hours night standby. no Wifi. 0 App is running after screen turned off.
Closed all recent open apps from history.
See two screenshots.
3% drained, for 28 minutes of wifi on (use for just making screenshots)
Ps:I have upgraded on marshmellow
Any solution will appreciated.
Battery is ok,but I dont count every single percent and on latest version of the stock rom screen on time is around 5 hours when you install all your apps and stuff.Phone is good overall,but its not worth upgrading from moto x 2013.Better stick with it and if you care about battery that much,install a custom rom/kernel or get powerbank.

i read a lot of post before getting Nexus 5 last year during summer about his terrible battery life
when i got the phone i could still run a normal day usage
i was reading this article and i add in "PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark" a nexus 5 and the result is
S6 7:14
Nexus 5 4:50
PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Batt...flagships-stack-up-against-each-other_id70173
not sure if this is realistic or many users has tons of app that drain S6, but if S6 has 25% more battery life that Nexus 5 i would say that is not that bad
Battery Life on the Galaxy S6 is about average at worse... but it is good... right now I have 10h 30m off charger and 2h 38m screen on time and 49% left... people just say that because it has the most powerful processor and best display on the market but the second smallest battery on any flagship... but it is more than numbers you know... and I have to say this thing charges incredibly fast... Dead to 100% in an hour and sometimes even less...
Battery is at most acceptable for daily use.
Acceptable, but not an issue because it goes from 40% to full so darned quick!
I have no idea how folks get such good SOT. I have never gotten more then three hours on any device. Some of that is that I have bad vision and I like it at least halfway to full brightness. I also have a great aversion to turning off any features. I paid to have a full featured smartphone, not a gimp!

the only way to compare battery performance of different phones is to do a maximum screen on time test with a comparable brightness,everything else just compares software wakelock bugs, most caused by 3rd party apps at that
(edit: or do screen off music playback like this test did)

I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.
The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.

Camera! I'm always shooting... I do use bluetooth a lot, but that doesn't appear to drain it much. I also turn my brightness all the way up if I'm shooting outside. I hear that Samsung has research going that could double battery capacity, but it's a little way off. That would be wonderful. Until then, I am happy to be able to recharge so fast...
It's not great but good (enough?) (and perhaps pretty damn good regarding the battery size), and indeed charges hella fast. I came from the Z3 which lasted very long though so I might be spoiled...
I actually achieved 5hr SOT yesterday (and total usage of 2 days) but it depends so much on use. After recharging to 100% and using whatsapp a lot the battery drained a lot faster for example. Now at 35% remaining with 2:10h SOT (and whatsapp and google services being the top spenders).
But yeah
this fast charging is not going to kill the battery really fast?
The battery is ****. Very similar to the Nexus 5, if not a bit worse. I use my phone quite a lot during the day. From full charge at 7am, I get the 15% battery notice at about noon. I charge it using fast charger till it reaches about 45%.. By 5pm I'm getting the low battery notice again.
I had the G4 for a week. Nearly full day of use out of that thing with same usage patterns I have on the S6.
The battery life was designed as either a secondary device or for people with a boring social/work life.

I decided to keep mine because the build quality on the S6 is on par with the iPhone 6. I enjoyed the battery life in the G4 but didn't feel I got my money's worth in quality compared to the S6. The moment a higher capacity battery is released for the S6 is the moment I'll be completely content.

Battery is surely not the best. With email sync using MailDroid, I had to charge the phone twice within the day. I don't use Facebook app, so that's a saviour. I stopped using MailDroid and battery life improved.
My usage is low to moderate, and am always on 4G LTE. Last 3-4 days I'm charging at morning 8 AM to 100%, it comes down to around 45% at 9 PM. I switch off Data at night and battery stays constant (maybe 44%). But again, if I keep screen ON for a while, then the battery is gone!
Battery is about as good as the S4, but worse than the HTC m8. Overall, it's awful considering you cannot swap it out. Unless you don't use the phone much during the day, you will need to charge it overnight and then once more during the day minimum.
This is pretty damn good in my book...
About 30 min of real racing and 10 minutes cs portable... the rest is browsing texting and youtube... half LTE and half Wi-Fi. I also had location services running on high accuracy the whole time sucking up battery life
Is it normal that Google service is always that high?

Lasts a full day of heavy use, but barely. If I am off charger at 7am, by 10pm I have 15-20% left.
On my second day of use, the phone died after 14 hours of mixed to heavy use. Third day is even worse, the phone is draining at about 10% per hour. The endurance on this thing is a step down from my LG G2, enough that I'm thinking of returning it.

Oh dang... I had the G2 and although it had very good battery life, I never found it satisfactory. I have had the Z3 by Sony since release and I have to say, it's the only phone where I am never worried about battery life. It isn't phenomenally better, no. it is just more than enough to give me great confidence in the stamina of the device.
I have the Nexus due in for delivery today so I really hope it doesn't disappoint. Since if it does, I too may return it for the Z5 compact.
First few discharge cycles were disappointing. Then I realized that leaving BT on all the time was preventing deep sleep...I am now getting 20+ hours under heavy to moderate use.
Definitely better than both my OPO and s6 edge

7am - 10pm is FANTASTIC usage! My note 3 could never do that with ANY rom and most modern phones can't, especially with heavy usage. I see users comparing it to the g2 and some older devices and I don't think it a fair comparison. Those older devices have less power hungry components. I'm using a very low spec'd Galaxy Grand Prime and the battery life on it is REALLY good, but that's because of how low spec'd it is. It doesn't even have a 720p screen lol. But the benefits of a 6P are more than just in the battery life dept so I can't complain on that front.

I also leave it on all the time, maybe it is a bug with the 6p and bluetooth? I've never turned bluetooth on and off with any phone as I use bluetooth audio frequently. In any event, I'm going to try keeping it turned off for a day or two.
Three nights in a row, I left it on overnight (Wi-Fi on, BT on, everything syncing) and drained 3% in 9 hours. That's impressive. I average 3-4 hours of screen on time per day with medium to heavy usage and easily make it all day. A few days ago, I did a "light usage test" and didn't use it for gaming (still had everything except GPS on and syncing) and I made it 2.5 days (59.5 hours) with 2.5 hours of screen on time. Battery is impressive on this thing. I am rooted stock and have no issues, except when gaming. Mine drains really fast and gets very, very, very hot when gaming for extended times, but when not gaming, it lasts crazy long.
Waze and any music app will absolutely DEMOLISH the battery. Very disappointed vs my iphone 6+. Use a car charger!
I am averaging around 2h45m to 3 hours screen on time, with a total run-time of 13-15 hours (7 AM to 10 pm) - 100% to 1% with medium to heavy usage.

This is exactly my biggest terror. I have a 6S+ and the battery is AMAZING (yes I had to capitalize it)
I miss being on Android and thought about getting a 6P but worried the battery life wont be good enough.
anyone have any rom/mods that makes the battery life last all day ?

Waze and any music app will absolutely DEMOLISH the battery. Very disappointed vs my iphone 6+. Use a car charger!

This. Google Play Music destroys my battery more than Google Maps or any other app. Even when I am playing local file and not streaming it is horrendous. Google really needs to improve this, it is terrible for an app that is native to the device.

The days I don't use Play Music for more than two hours. I easily get through the day. Otherwise, it is a struggle.
Man that is depressing.. I was on my way to bestbuy to buy a nexus 6P but I guess not. Ill stick to my 6S Plus, it literally last ALL DAY, why can't Google get it right.
We shouldnt have to root a device,install roms, ect just to get by a whole day or normal phone usage. Its one of the major reasons why im using an iPhone as my daily.

Just FYI... I ran stock for 3 weeks and got absolutely absurd battery life with pretty moderate to heavy usage. I ride a train to and from work every day for about 45 minutes each way. Listen to music at work, on the way to train, on the way home, while I'm at home both in the morning and after work. In about 20+ days of usage running stock, non-rooted I got 20+ hours with ease. Don't be fooled by what a few people say, however, it also depends on many many variables.

This isn't just a Nexus thing. Every Android phone I've had Google Music drains it like their is no tomorrow.

I've never had Facebook or Snapchat on my phone so I guess that's why that hasn't been an issue for me.
Every smartphone has this thread so I thought I might start one!
This devices is famous for having below average battery life, let's find out if this got better with MM since reviews were made with LL?
Please use BBS or GSAM battery to show uptime, screen on time, wifi or mobile data (really important). Also describe your app usage.
Thanks!:good:
I've never found battery life to be all that bad. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, I find it quite good most of the time.
Personally, I find these claims you read about all the time, where people claim to get a full day (or two!), and have 4-6 hours of screen on time, very hard to believe, and I call b.s. most of the time on those claims.
As far as GSam goes, I've used it on and off throughout the years, since my OG Droid in 2010, and I found that the information in GSam differed, or contradicted the information in the stock Android battery stats, and I questioned its accuracy, so I ended up uninstalling it LOL.
In general, though, I'd say my battery life is pretty good. Here's a typical day for my X Pure, and you all can tell me if you agree or disagree:
My phone comes off the charger at around 7 AM, just before my 40 minute train ride in to the city. During my train ride, I send a few texts, then I tether my X Pure to my Nexus 9 so I can get online with the N9 during my commute. Tethering lasts about 30 minutes. After the initial train ride comes the subway ride where I use the phone for reading articles on Google Play Newsstand and checking work emails for about 10 minutes. Once at work, I leave it off the charger, and throughout the day, check emails (work and personal), send/receive texts throughout the day, miscellaneous other usage, etc. By around 4:00, I usually have to put in on the quick charger. At that time, my screen-on time is on average between 1 to 1.5 hours, with 9 hours off the charger. Usually 35-40% battery left by that time.
Now, 9 hours off the charger, 1.5 hours of SOT, 30-40 minutes of tethering, and moderate usage throughout the 9-hours off the charger, I say that's pretty damn good! Weekends I can go 15-17 hours off the charger. Thoughts?

Well tethering does use a lot of power but 1.5h of SOT is pretty bad IMHO.

Normally I would agree, but I factor in the time off the charger as well. If it was within a few hours, definitely. But over 9 hours--with moderate to heavy usage, I'm happy with that. I also forgot to mention I probably have a lot of crap going on in the background. I have 3 different weather apps right now (I'm a weather geek), one of which is a lightning strike detector that alerts when lightning is nearby. We are expecting thunderstorms later so it may keep the phone awake. Once I get through today (hopefully I will remember lol), I will post screen shots of battery usage. But overall I am happy with what I get. Over the years, I've had the OG Droid, HTC Rezound, 2013 Moto X, and now the X Pure. The Droid and Rezound's battery life was pretty bad, but has been much better with both the 2013 X and the X Pure. Maybe my standards are lower due to having 2 prior phones with notoriously bad battery life.

Yes one's impression depends a lot on what you're coming from also. You should check how much the phone is kept awake in standby

It is kept awake more than you would think, but I blame the on apps, and that's unfortunately the chance you take if you want those apps. I will post a few screen shots later this evening if I can remember.

This topic is already adequately covered HERE.
Please avoid creating duplicate threads.
Closed.
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 OnePlus 6T before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
First day and this is incredible

No small charges in between?
Phones get better mileage at/between different percentages so it doesn't mean much if your not showing a near full discharge...
Here's my experience:
Had it charged to 100% at 9pm.
The 68% screenshot was taken at 8am.
22% at 1:33pm
9% at 3:09pm

What apps were you using mostly?

Wow, that launcher drains more than Play services
I'd say it's faring pretty dang well. Over 7.5 hours SOT with almost 2 days of usage on a single charge? This, to me, is absolutely astounding. OPO did a phenomenal job on optimizing this device. Coming from my GS9 which is barely over 4.5 hours SOT on a good day, and the Pixel 3 XL which is... unremarkable at best.
Edit: Oh and of note, Battery saver has only been on since about 10-11%. Was simply wanting to make sure it made it until I went to bed!

Mostly browsing with Chrome, but also Viber and Google Voice for messages, YouTube and YouTube TV. I'll be posting new screenshots which will include the usage details.
First day battery test was a near full discharge. NO BATTERY SAVER USED. Moderate usage few videos, pictures taken, music, settings being configured to personal preference and got 7+ hours of SOT with 32hours till 10%. Got down to 5% at the 39 hours mark with 8+ SOT. Does anyone have advise on a healthy charging habit to keep battery accurate and healthy, to prolong the life charge. Would be great for battery health advice. Thanks. Enjoy

OnePlus 6T providing amazing battery life. The screen on time is more than 8 hours. Surprised by the battery life as i coming from galaxy note 5.
Impressive battery
????
I'm consistently getting over 10 hours of SOT over a period of 24 - 30 hours which is insane.
This is mostly with streaming through Netflix and YouTube.
I have turned off the battery optimisations as well.
Nice going, op6t!
Started with 100% in the PM.
OOS 9.0.5, Completely stock.
With the latest update i feel like the oneplus team has definitely made screen unlock a few milliseconds quicker, and after installing the latest arnova gcam (with night sight), i feel like i don't have anything left to complain about this phone. On top of that it gives great battery life.
11+ hours over 2 days, although i admit i don't game at all.

I tried the Gcam 6.1 Port from pixel on OOS 9.0.3 but it drains the battery a lot. SOT down to 5 hrs from 8+ hours. Approx 10 minutes usage of Gcam reduces around 15% of the battery.
I don't really do all that much, some clash royale, reddit, random websites, and mostly youtube browsing, oh and for today I used GPS for the 3hr drive to and from a meeting (brightness at 70% the first hour and 25% the rest), and i was also able to pull off 10hrs SOT over 20hr period. Pretty great considering the same type of usage would barely get me 4hrs on my 3T.
Although im almost certain this is from the colder weather and darker skies. That 10hrs is probably more like 6hrs in the summer day. Im not even sure this is good by any means, since im so used to garbage battery lol
Shoot I forgot the screenshot [web link]
Battery discharge from initial bootup. Battery started at 54%.
4+ hours SoT
A lot of FB, Chrome and installing apps/initial configuration stuff.
Installed 9.0.5 update.
Still have 9% left and hour of estimated usage.
Loving the 6t and this amazing battery life. Came from a Moto Z Force.
T-Mobile variant
First charge
Off charger at 7am
Mix usage, call, games, YouTube, reading, browsing interwebs
Not bad.
