Friends share what type of battery life you are experiencing ? How much SOT you are getting and how much time does it take to full charge the device ? Just wanted to check whether I'm getting the same or not.
Btw my device took around 1 hr 40 mins to charge from 14-100% with 4g data always On.
Will edit my post when I'll receive my device
Took 70 minutes to reach 100 from 30. Currently up for 23 hours. SOT is 5 hours. 26% still remaining. Wi-Fi on whole time.
Well here's my experience
Full day usage in one charge
SOT over 7 hours and still at 28%
Played some casual games, poor signal reception sometimes due to lack of 3G networks in my area
Using only one sim
Listened to music for some time
I'm pretty much satisfied with the battery plus turbo charger is pretty fast too
First cycle

I charged my device from 8-100% in 1hrs45mins.
My device was at 66% after 1 hr and it took 15-20mins to charge from 90-100%.
And I am getting 4½hrs of SOT
And night fall was 3%(data off).
My device 4G data was always on with hotspot enabled. Please let me know if that is the reason I am getting a bit poor battery life.
With full power usage

Blame hotspot for this.
Guys mine is showing heavy usage by Android OS ,infact it's the top battery hogger ,I'm in a place where the network is sort of bad and the internet is really slow (based off an island ) at present ,any solution to reduce the usage

I have noticed that if you enable the hotspot you tend to drain your battery. With heavy usage i used to get 6hrs SOT but when hotspot enabled I used to get 4½hrs SOT.

Yes the main culprit is hotspot.
You guys are seeing around 7 hours SOT average? How is the battery with gaming?

Believe me I don't think you'll regret bud. One of my friend(OP) getting around 5-6 hrs with some gaming.
Btw here is mine after first charge. I'm not a heavy user. Just surfing on net,Google+,Telegram some music random YouTube videos. But it looks like Moto has done some dope work on kernel. Obviously SD 625 needs some credits here.

Disble Moto display
Moto display is useless on LCD display as it consumes more battery. I got only 4 to 5 hours on screen on time with Moto display enabled. Once I disabled the Moto Display functionality, I am getting 6 to 7 hours of SOT. I am using dual sim and always on 4G mobile data. I will attach the screenshot tomorrow.:good:

You are correct that it consumes battery but with enabled I was getting a better battery.
With heavy usage and 4g enabled 5-6hrs SOT but enabling hotspot 4-4½ hrs battery life
My battery hangs at a %age for an hour of SOT & starts dropping . Using NON Turbo right now as heat was exceeding 40℃ .
Even with turbo it did so . . . . It is anyway problematic ???
6.5 to 7 hours of sot with wifi and night and LTE during the day. Fantastic battery life. My LG g5 was dead after 2 hours sot

Excellent!! Do u think it will last 5 1/2 to 6 hours with 3g on throughout the day? I'll be running social media apps, heavy browsing all the day, maybe an hour of YouTube and occasional gaming.
I'd returned moto g turbo becuz it failed to go through the day with such usage. Do u think moto g4 will be a different case in terms of battery?

With WiFi on most of the time and with normal useage I got close to 6 and half hours of SOT..So with 3g on throughout the day you should get atleat 4 and half to five hours of ..as 3g always takes out more battery life than WiFi.. (Even 10-15 min of continuous gaming will drain battery quite quickly.. If you are a gamer don't buy this device.. But for the price and the promise to get quick updates this phone is the best in the market..)
Kinda heavy use! Always on wifi, with an hour of gaming in it! I am satisfied with it by far.
Again normal use with no gaming, WiFi on throughout and poor cellular network signal...

I got a 5.5 hours SOT with fully connected to Wifi or 3G mobile data(Wifi if home else 3G). Additionally, I also had voice call worth an hour. I havn't tried with gaming. I am no gamer. But it lasts for close to 2 days with one charge.

Yeah..Stand by time is not very impressive but decent enough.. Yesterday I did use it constantly without much standby time and I am very happy with it.. Browsing (most of the time), Tweeting, 30 minutes video , 2 hrs of 3G use, even played piano tiles 2 for 10 odd min even though I am not a gamer at all.[emoji2]

Great!! Battery life just get's more and more impressive after every charge..(Latest result was after my 3rd charge)..The only problem is it gets quite a bit warm even after using cam for 5-10 mins..Hopefully Moto will fix the heating problem in the next few updates..Other than that for 15k price range..I think this device is the best in the market only for the promise of fast updates and stock android..

Hey guys,
how's your battery life going? I'm rather pleased with it so far. This is my first day with the phone on stock with no mods or special battery apps.
Can you guys recommend a battery app to restrict background leeching?

Screen-on time? I got on my first charge 30hrs. off the charger and 5,5 hrs. SOT with 7% left.
From 92% to 10%, with hardcore installing, making nearly 100 photos and some videos, and gaming, running tests, im get more than 4 hour SoT.
Stock OS, no mods.

60% left, 3.2h sot, only wifi (no sim card), location on
First full cycle. Im pretty pleased with the battery. Stock rom and kernel. Magisk as root and no battery saving apps. Didnt even use battery saver once it hit 15%.
7hr sot with moderate usage. A little bit on clash of clans. quite a bit of web browsing on chrome. Used facebook, messenger, tandem and other apps quite a bit. Also used wifi 90% of the time and LTE the other

Naw, normal day, mix (wifi and 4g).
It's about the same like 3T but I will sell it.
Very impressed with battery backup.
First charge (full) since I received the device, everything stock.
Medium to high usage over 36-38 hours, setting up, installing apps, gaming a little, videos, browsing. Mostly on WiFi, maybe a couple of hours on 4G:
15% battery remaining
After today's oxygen update my battery has gotten significantly better. It may also be a case of the battery settling in after a few days. I went from losing 30% in 2 hours idle in my pocket yesterday to losing 30% in 9 hours using it throughout work today. Color me impressed. And this is coming from the Moto Z play. A battery beast!!!

Hi all,
I tried all the possible solutions Greenify, Format etc. but my battery still drains more than 3% per hour.
Should I go and change the device from service center? I am wondering they will not take this as a replacement.
Do you disable GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not using?
The standby drain will persist depending on the 4G signal strength. If you are in a strong coverage area, it should not be more than 1.5%-2%/hr. Also are you on WQHD or FHD? Disabling AOD and being on FHD helps.
Also seeing strong standby drain after the last update, not sure why?

Download 'Network Cell Info" from playstore and check your signal strength. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfo&hl=en). Also here is a ready reference to evaluate 4G LTE signal parameters: http://blog.industrialnetworking.com/2014/04/making-sense-of-signal-strengthsignal.html
Hope this helps!

This. For some reason, the signal at my house is just horrible. Maybe it has to do with the tall trees surrounding the area? I get much worst standby time compare to when I'm at my vacation home.
Yeah this is only the negative I have right now with this phone. I get impressive 6 to 7 hours SOTs before needing recharge but standby times are bad despite no using AOD and keeping all apps at always sleep in settings but I am not rooted yet.
My rooted S5 LTE-A with RR gets impressive 2 and sometimes up to 3 days standby with 3G/LTE but thats with greenify and adaway.
Anyone here with rooted S8 with greenify get more standby time?

How do you get 6-7 hrs SOT when your standby is bad?. My standby is about 2%/hr and I get 4-5 hrs SOT mixed wifi and 4G LTE.

That scenario would be charging the phone to 100%, LTE/3G at full bars, watching youtube podcast videos @ 480p for total of 4+ hours, reading ebook for an hour and some web browsing for remaining time till 5%.
Problem is when I charge 100% and just leave the phone for about 6 hours no use whatsoever, i get 85 - 80 after checking again. That is with good signal as well.

The SOT needs to be ignored. What matters is standby time. If we dont use the phone for a couple of hours and you see the battery drop considerably then something is wrong with your apps/signal. BBS/GSM helps point out the wakelocks for apps, but a bad signal has limited options. Its high time, Google & OEMs should try and address the standby drain issues. This is one area where iOS excels, due to a closed and nuclear approach towards apps.
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 Asus Zenfone 5V before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
It goes OK for now. I guess I will use it for 2 more hours. AI boost off, gps off, wifi and cellular data on, Bluetooth off, auto brightness.
Wifi always on.
forgot to write: I listened music so much from spotify but not stream, I've downloaded them before.

Is the battery life still good? And on that note, how good is the standby drain (asking here because no one seems to have posted on that topic).
I'm worried about battery life because I'm seriously thinking about getting this over the OP6, but there aren't many reviews out there.

After 12 June update, sot has decreased. Now I get about 6~7 hrs BUT my brother (he uses this phone too) still gets 8 hrs. I'm on 20 June update but there's 22 June update (I didn't understand why ASUS gave this update very early. Also it is 410MB but the others were about 200~300 MB so I'm hopeful about this update) So I can't talk about the latest update (I didn't update)
About standby drain: When I was on 1 June update, only 4% gone whole night (11pm~7am) but I can't say anything about the other updates.
I will test sot and standby drain when I update.
Oh btw I want to write today's sot:
Last full (and last) charge: 16hrs 45 mins ago
Sot: 6 hrs 46 mins
5% left
Edit: I didn't see that my battery is 4% on screenshot. I'm sorry
Edit 2: I updated and not changed much. I got 7h25min max (used till 2%). I still couldn't test standby drain but if you want to know something, I can share my latest battery stats. 5h4min sot 15h23min total (so about 10 hrs idle) and 29% left. I guess I will get 2 more hours sot. According to me standby drain is good enough.

Looks decent. Could've been better, but I guess it's because of that IPS screen. Wish the battery could've been a bit bigger than the standard Zenfone 5.
I'm getting around 5:30 hours (on a Zenfone 5, not 5z), how do you manage to get 7:25?
UPDATE:
6:25 of mostly youtube and chrome browsing, bluetooth is always on paired to my smartwatch, as well as wifi and 4G.
(Zenfone 5 SD636). Overall im happy with that, think i can squeeze even more, i have APKpure taking 5% for some unknown reason.

How about your cellular signal, brightness, gps, Bluetooth and firmware?
About cellular signal: Do you get less than 5? Less signal causes phone to use SO MUCH battery and heat.

Actually the other day i was doing 6:25 SOT, which I'm quite happy with. 4G and WIFI are on all the time, and my phone is constantly connected by BT to my Amazfit Bip watch.
location is also always on, and I'm on the latest firmware (.19).
I am deeply impressed by the battery life of this phone. In first recharge I got close to 7h 43 min SOT, later in second recharge it went up to 8'36". Both cycles took considerable usage of roaming, bluetooth on for at least 4-5 hours, some streaming over bluetooth, wifi was used partially maybe not more than a couple of hours, google maps was used and finally the second recharge includes live streaming WC Final Match too. Both SIMs were occupied with primary on VoLTE and always data on.
Brightness was kept on comfortable 30-40% level except for while watching match, when it was close to 55%.

Learn how to use mobile manager.
There stop apps from auto starting.
Close apps from recents menu when you go to sleep.
WiFi/data off.
Check WiFi settings where it does not keep looking for signals.
My standby drain over 8 hours is 1%, sometimes barely touching 2...

Check if your area has constantly signal fluctuation. I remember my friend constantly had signals switching between 3G & 4G on his 3T and his battery drain was worse, but only at his home. Otherwise it was good.
If signal strength is good, it might be something else.

Thanks. Last night I kept it in 2G after taking care of above steps and lost 3% in 7 hrs, which is reasonable. However, on 4G still losing around 7-8%. Not sure if AI is consuming battery.

Around 4.5 hour with 30 minutes of pubg and switching between social media apps
Hope it gets improved in pue update
Initially got 3h43m sot with dual sim in 4G. Switched it to 2G/3G mode and sot increased to 5h45. So guess it was the constant fluctuations from 4G to 3G that was causing the low sot. But the last update a few weeks back and my sot has dropped to 5h, no change in my daily usage. Still in 2G/3G mode. Don’t know why the loss in almost an hour of sot
Hoping for good optimizations on pie.
So far how do you think about the battery life on the phone is with heavy usage considering the fact that phone Comes with 5000mAh of battery?
As for me I think the phone can do better than what it's doing right now.

So far how do you think about the battery life on the phone is with heavy usage considering the fact that phone Comes with 5000mAh of battery?

With light usage i get around 11 n half hours SOT.
With moderate usage it's around 10 to 11 hrs.
During extensive use i get from 8 to 10 hrs SOT
Pretty good. It will last throughout the day. No doubt.
On moderate or light use cases it will last more than that. You just have to charge on alternate days. Its the best thing i noticed about this phone, you don't have to carry a charger or search for a charger in the middle of a movie. :good:
With custom roms theoretically it should do better as we can opt out of all these google services constantly running in the background.

After new update, it's holding up well and good!

I had actually called Asus hotline and they asked me to 1.)Turnoff the Zenmotion in gestures.
2.) Use the phone in safe mode for 3-4 hrs
3.) And always charge the battery to 100% and drain it till 20-30% (or even less if possible) instead of charging intermittently.
Now I donno y they asked me to this...but im giving it a shot. Moreover I have also installed Greenify app as stated above & one point to be noted is that a lot of Youtube techies have mentioned that low network coverage in your area affects battery usage to almost 40-50%.
Now maybe that can be the reason too..but im not convinved for such low SOT coz people above who posted screen shots also show low network coverage.
LETS SEE! How it goes

Yes it does. And 4G means more battery drain.

Poor LTE network does drain the battery like anything. I get more battery drain at office because LTE network is poor. At home its good so battery drain is very less. What i do is switch to 3G instead of LTE. That helps a lot.
