Don't knw about g6 but
Aod of lg g5 drains .72 percent per hour and aod of Samsung s7 drains around 0.80 percent per hour ( as it is brighter than g5 ).

Its not the same post which i read before but it will give you some idea about how things are goin on

No it's not, only a small square in the top of the screen is lit, you can actually see it by yourself if you enabled color inversion and turned the screen of while AOD is on.

Anyone tested how much battery AOD uses?

Anyone tested this themselves? Didnt see it mention in any reviews.
I don't know but it must use close to nothing; the thing is to darn dark on this thing, I can't barely see it. It was a lot brighter in my Note 7, it's useless now.

Not dark at all on my screen. I don't seem to see it moving around at all, though which is concerning to me.
From https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Plus-SM-G955F-Smartphone-Review.213438.0.html :
The Always-On display is pretty efficient. The smartphone only consumes 0.13 Watts during standby and 0.23 Watts (on average) with the Always-On display.

Is it moving on your screen? Didn't move on mine in the 40 mins I left it on so I turned it off.

Yesterday it has moved at least two times
On the S7 edge the guys at samsung told me that 1 hour usually takes about 1 percent of battery. Don't know wether the S8 uses the same amount or not. That doesn't sound that much, but at the end of the day this would be something about 10-20 percent.
Gonna get my S8 (hopefully) today - so I can test it.

most of what i read people said it was closer to 1% every 2 hours on the s7.
I've got it on
All day
All night
Battery life, while not amazing, hasn't been affected by aod
I keep it on. Most of the time the phone is in a belt pouch and the AoD shuts off when it is in a pocket like environment. The only time it is really on for an extended period of time is while sitting on the wireless charger.
I keep mine on too. Here's my battery life. That's Bluetooth, location, always on display, and high performance settings on.
2 Gmail accounts that are synced (constant work email), Facebook, messenger, GroupMe, Instagram, Snapchat. A few text messages since most of my chats goes through social media.
It is a shame (as far as i can tell) that the battery usage meter does not separate "screen" with "always on display".
My thinking is that the OLED screen is not back lit so it is only each individual pixel using power and since the screen is mainly black this is not a lot.
When the S8 is in a brightly lit room the always on display is brighter lit so will use more power. In a dark bedroom it will use less.
AoD Informal Testing
The official Samsung line is that AoD uses up about 1% of the battery per hour. In other words, AoD will use up about 24% of your battery in 24 hours. That seems to be close to my personal experience with the S7, but it's hard to say. I believe my phone uses about 2.5% of the battery per hour with AoD off, and about 3.5% / hour with AoD turned on. I'm still getting over 24-hours of battery life per charge with AoD on.
There are some comments here along the lines of "it can't use too much battery, because it's so dim" or "it's in my pocket most of the time, so it's not using power." Keep in mind that some of the battery AoD uses is that it turns the proximity and light sensors on every minute or so to determine what the brightness of the display should be, and whether it should be on at all. AoD mode likely uses slightly more battery even if the phone is face down on a desk and not displaying anything.
Some people have said they don't use AoD because they can't see the pixels moving and they're worried about screen burn. I believe the pixel movement is very subtle, and the image doesn't move all around the screen. It just moves enough so that the same pixels are not always being used. When you unlock the phone, then lock it again, the AoD will appear in a completely different spot on the screen and then shift subtly around that same spot. I've been using AoD on and off for 2 years with my S7 and I can't see any trace of screen burn.

The pixels do most def move I have witnessed it....
I use my aod when its dark normally between like 8 pm and like 1 times im up at night other than that I dont use it
I read some where on the gear watches about aod and the strict limits samsung has in place to prevent burn and battery waste.
As fast as these devices can charge battery should not be an issue for any one any more lol

Newly bought S8 and a 4.5h battery life. Is is normal?

So I got my GS8 yesterday and this is the battery life I get with:
AOD off
No battery saving profile
Wifi on all the time
4G network but no data
Automatic brightness
No gaming, about an hour of video playback
Since I can't share outside links I'll just write the info here: (From 100% to 3%)
Last charged: 10h ago
Screen on time: 4 hours and 30 minutes (812mAh)
Android System: CPU total: 3 hours and 11 minutes (312mAh)
This is not even close to what I expected, do you think this is normal?
Normal. It's happened with both my S8 and my G6. Your battery life will get better in 3-5 days. Android is setting stuff up and optimizing battery life behind the scenes.
You bought it yesterday. Give it time to settle.
Also, turn off automatic Samsung cloud backup, it's on by default.

I am 45% with 4 hours SOT. But I have days like yours with 4 hours SOT at end of day... It depends on how you use it.
Also depends if you debloat it or not (no root required)

What did you expect from a 3000mah battery? It all depends how you use the phone, i can empty the battery in an hour if I want.
4.5h is more than respectable, if you want more lower the brightness and use a black theme.

I expected the sot other users (like people from this forum) get. This battery life I got is bkarely better than that of my 3-year-old Xperia Z1!
-----------------------------------
Another question guys. Is a 6% drain over 7 hours of being idle normal? Wifi on and AOD off.

It pretty much. Also depend on how many apps you installed. If you dont want it run much, add it to smart manager sleep list. My idle about 3hrs/1% man. This is my battery current round and apps list. About 10% wasted battery because I did clear davikcache a few times
This should be normal. with AOD on, my phone takes about 2% per hour, but when browsing webpages, every 1.5 hours costs about 10% of power, watching videos should take more. also, the 1080p and 2k resolution have notable differences. so it seems that the white-background screen cuts down most of battery life, i think.

hmm, i turned my phone as power-saving as possible - brightness is less than half of the bar, suspended all background apps, and FHD resolution. also, after some days of usage, the system should be able to auto balance the power consumption by sleeping some unused apps and some Samsung's system services maybe. so i don't think this is an issue.

Dont believe every sot someone posts here, i've seen a few 8 or 9 hour sot's but i'll bet the brightness was as dim as can be and they used a black theme. Or they were probably reading a book on the phone which uses no cpu at all or using the battery saving feature.
Your z1 also had a 3000mah battery, yet it had a smaller/dimmer screen, lower resolution, less ram, much slower cpu/gpu. How can you be complaining?

yeah, you're right, the AMOLED screen with high brightness and white color is the real battery killer. also BTW, does the 'sot' mean 'screen-on time'? sorry for my bad English...
Yup screen on time
4.5h is more than enough ! I am coming from a S6E+ it used to give me 2h SOT MAX ! Hated my life with it.
Do you plat Pokemon Go? I find a lot of people I see complaining about battery do, that game is very poorly optimized for battery consumption.

LG G6 vs OP5 Battery. Updated with normal usage tests.

Update: Just wanted to provide an update to this. I ran some very basic tests on both phones at the same time such as browsing, checking emails, a little gaming, etc. And what I noticed was that the G6 actually performed slightly better than the OP5 for normal use, and of course this is more important than a constant video playback test. And based on what others posted below it makes complete sense now why the OP5 seemed to be better in this. (Assuming the numbers were even accurate). But in normal day to day use I am seeing the G6 having excellent battery life. Anyway just wanted to update this so it doesnt cause someone to think I am saying the G6's battery is bad. Original post below.
Hello XDA. I just got a T-Mobile LG G6 and LOVE IT, except for one issue. Battery life. AOD is off, and always has been. My other phone Ive been using before this is a Oneplus 5. Ive been trying to decide which phone is going to be my permanent phone and love the G6 over the OP5 in almost every way except for battery life. I ran some basic tests just to get an idea of how they compare. Now I know that the G6 has a 2K LCD display and the OP5 has a 1080p Amoled. But I didnt think there would be that much of a difference since a lot of people said that the difference as far as battery life wouldnt be that much.
So I went into the tests expecting the OP5 to a bit better. But I didnt expect the results I got. The short result is that the OP5 had 20% more battery after running the below Netflix test for 2 hours. I ran the test again the next day, this time for 5 hours and the OP5 had 55% more battery left than the G6. The average percentage loss for the G6 running Netflix was 10% every 30 minutes, while the OP5 only loss an average of 3.25% every 30 minutes. When checking the battery usage to see what is draining the battery the most it is definitely the screen. On the G6 it accounted for 34% of the total loss, and on the OP5 it was only 13% of the loss. So maybe the 2K vs 1080p screen is the culprit after all. Like I said I expected it to be a factor, just not a 21% difference in the total usage between the G6 and OP5.
I also know that my OP5 is running 7.1.1 and the G6 7.0, but as far as I know the main difference between the 2 versions is Doze, and I have Doze off on the OP5 due to a Gmail sync issue. And I also know that a simple Netflix test doesnt really represent what kind of battery life I can expect from normal day to day use. Anyway basically what I want to know is does this seem normal, and when the G6 gets 7.1, or 7.1.1 will that improve the battery life enough to hopefully be better than this?
Like I said I REALLY like the G6 in every way, except the battery life. And Im not giving up on it. So if there is some hope that the battery life will improve that will definitely make me lean more towards keeping the G6 over the OP5. Anyway thanks for any input. Below is some more details on the test results I got. And Ive attached a screenshot of the battery usage with it at 11%, down 8% since the Netflix test ended.
LG G6 vs Oneplus 5 (2nd Netflix drain test)
Netflix Streaming Test at 100% Brightness, no other apps running. No Sim card in either. Both had same settings toggles on also:
LG G6:
Started at 100%
After 30 mins 92% Lost 8
After 60 mins 83% Lost 17
After 90 mins 72% Lost 28
After 2 Hours 61% Lost 39
After 2:30 mins 52% Lost 48
After 4 Hours at 40% Lost 60%
After 5 Hours at 19% Lost 81% (55% more drain than OP5)
Average of 10% loss every 30 minutes (About 6% more loss per minute)
Oneplus 5:
Started at 100%
After 30 mins 97% Lost 3
After 60 mins 94% Lost 6
After 90 mins 90% Lost 10
After 2 Hours 87% Lost 13
After 2:30 mins 84% Lost 16
After 4 Hours at 80% Lost 20%
After 5 Hours at 74% Lost 26% (55% less drain than G6)
Average of 3.25% Lost every 30 minutes (About 6% less loss per minute)
Just wanted to add an update. I decided since the main drain from the G6 was the screen that I would try the test again, but this time adjust the screen brightness on both devices so they look as close as possible. When I had both set to 100% before the OP5 was quite a bit brighter. So this time I had them looking as much the same as I could. The test results were much different.
Oneplus 5 after 4 hours of Netflix had 65% left.
LG G6 after 4 hours had 46% left.
Although its still 19% less than before, its a lot better than the 40% difference from the previous test. So Im hoping by leaving the G6 at a lower brightness will help improve the battery life. And of course hoping that 7.1 also helps. Anyway just wanted to update this. Thanks
Anyway, i think that is not a fair comparisson... OP5 has 1920x1080 screen and G6 1440 x 2880, at least for me, 5 hours of screen is totally awesome, but if LG do something to extend the battery efficience would be great
The OP5 has an AMOLED display. The pixels in these displays actually create their own light. They consume no power when they are black, low power when dim, and quite a bit of power when displaying bright or white content.
LCD displays like the G6 use a backlight with a panel in front that blocks the light from getting to your eyes, creating an image. They have consistent power consumption that is completely determined by the backlight level, the image itself is irrelevant.
TV shows and movies tend to have pretty low white level, so AMOLED displays use very little power most of the time. Switch test to browsing where there are tons of white backgrounds and you would probably see the LG catch up or take the lead.
Edit: Also have to mention that the OP5 is using a pentile subpixel layout. This means that instead of each pixel being made of red green blue sub-pixels like the G6, it only displaying either a red green or a blue green for each pixel. So not only is the OP5 displaying less than half the pixels that the G6 is, it's only showing 2/3 of each pixel.

I'm not sure how you achieved these numbers, but i suppose it's not accurate, specially those on #1 post.
Assuming OP5 has 3,25% drain every 30 min is like saying it has a screen-on time of 15+ hours. No phone could ever get this with actual tech.
Great battery phones, with heavily modded kernels and roms, helped by wakelock limiting apps, could achieve about 8-9 hours max with screen turned on.
So, my guess is that it could be some kind of battery trick on OP5 side (not showing accurate percentage, for example).
Your second test is more feasible, but i really think it's still too much for both phones (about 7,4h SOT for G6 and 11,4h for OP5).
Please don't take it as a criticism on your tests. I'm just saying here that your battery is lasting as expected for today standards.
G6 does poorly/average in these constant playback tests but overall in normal use it manages to do well. Whatever case, in my kind of use, it does really well
Does the G6 have wifi scanning turned on?
OFFTOP: How OP5 and LG G6 screen compare? OP5's AMOLED is PenTile so not really fullHD. Is the G6 much sharper when displaying small text etc? I dunno which one to consider buying
About differences in battery -> remember G6 has older, more power hungry SOC. And it has to much more work thanks to bigger resolution. I would say difference is actually quite small having that in mind and LG did great job of optimising its software.

Im not sure how I got those numbers either. I just wrote down and noted what I saw. The fact that they looked to good to be true, and that there was such a discrepancy between the 2 was why I ran the test again. And it wouldnt surprise me if Oneplus had done something to inflate the numbers. I dont know if you read about it, but they were caught again "cheating" benchmarks by forcing the phones to run at maximum when they detected a benchmark app running.

I decided to do another basic test and just started playing around in apps, games, browsing, etc. at the same time on both phones. And the G6 not only kept up with the OP5 but beat it slightly, and the G6 had my Sim card in at the time, and the OP5 didnt. So what I am noticing is that in normal use the G6 has been great, and even slightly better than the OP5.

Another thing I noticed is that overnight when both phones werent being used that the G6 had just slightly more battery in the morning. So Ill update my post above so people dont think Im just trashing the G6. After more testing, and normal use it seems to have excellent battery. So Im not sure why there was such a difference in the video playback tests. Anyway thanks for all the responses!

This makes complete sense. Especially after my recent tests where I turned the brightness down on the G6 to match the OP5, and when I ran normal tests that I explained in my other posts. The G6 actually performed slightly better in normal use such as browsing, checking emails, etc.
Abnormally high screen on times are not uncommon in video playback tests while on WIFI. This is due to the lower brightness required (low average white level), lower processor utilization (due to hardware decoding), and no interaction with the screen (due to the processor not jumping to max frequency on screen touch).

Aod battery timing

How much aod consumes battery for whole night.Mine takes 10% approx.is it ok? Time to replace?

I've read several places that AOD is only supposed to consume around .5% per hour, which is about what I get. You might want to check if you have anything running in the background that shouldn't.

Screen on time

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 Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
the battery of the phone is garbage... imho
5000 mah and the screen time is 5-6 hours.
trhe problem is the display that drain all the charge. i see the battery information right now 6 hours of screen , 92% of display battery usage, all the rest are applications and system. hope that xiaomi and poco will fix something.
That's really disappointing. I had a oneplus one with a similar display and similar on screen time. But with a much smaller battery. I expected at least 8 hours of screen time for poco x3.
Guys yesterday I achieved 4.15 hours of sot with 50% battery left. 50/50 WiFi and 4g, heavy usage. With 120hz.

yea, exactly... on pocophone f1 i pushed around 9 10 hours.. easily .. i gues more optimisation is needed, i dont believe that 845 ifs more efficient than 732g .. cmon its 5000mah battery this thing should last at least 11-12 h sot

i get now 81 % and 1:30 sot on wifi auto brightness 120 hz its not bad but battery its 5k check it in accu and it show 5160 so its not the battery maybe its that 120hz
But some ppl are reporting really nice sot around 10h is there any chance to check our screen manufacturer maybe Xiaomi use few different panels in poco 3 in check hw info app form gp and service menu but i can't find this info.
Usual for me is 6-7 hrs sot with 50% left
120hz activated
So the battery is awesome
According to AccuBattery I got about 12h SOT, thats about what I expected.
Medium usage, 120hz activated, energy saving off.
I guess the adaptive refreshrate helps a lot to save energy, e.g. it quite instantly drops to 30hz if watching a normal Youtube video.
It's strange this problem, 90% of display battery usage, it's a bug ? a global problem ?
After the update I have better battery endurance, 51% left with 5 hours SOT and just a tiny charging time during the day.
If someone has a battery issue you can try what i just did yesterday. Go to about the phone and update click in the right upper corner and click download newest update or something like that it will download full 2.4 gb rom and after that just do the update, maybee that 240 mb was quack
Now i have pretty decent sot i think but its only the begining
Battery for now seems really good
Played some light games, wifi always ON
edit:
120hz OFF
sync OFF
MIUI optimizations OFF on dev settings
I was indoors alot so brightness was probably low
I'll post again with 5-10% battery

'
after kernel info in this case it is nvt
i'm getting about 6-7% battery per hour of SOT on 60hz screen.. i will test 120hz the next full charge, but i suspect its about 10% per hour of SOT..

Hi. What kind of usage?
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------
I'm a little disappointed for the battery life of this Poco X3. At least for me: with normal usage, under wifi, social and messaging apps, with 60hz refresh rate I get maximum 6/7hrs SoT. I hope it will be optimize in next updates.
