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.

The Z3 is a nice device, I enjoy the screen, thinness and weight, but the latter two definitely come at the expense of battery life.
Of course the faster CPU also plays a part. I'm just getting 3 hours of on screen time with my usage out of it. On the Z2 I got 4 hours.
I don't even know what these people do who get an insane 10 hours of screen on time out of theirs. Probably different kind of use, but still...
Once again I need to look having an external battery with me.
Disappointed.

Post your battery stats page. Seems odd to me. I have 2.5 hours of on screen time with 10 hours on battery at 78% at the moment.
I noticed that too since I switch from Z2. Its difficult to see from the power management tool indicating how many screen time ect.. the battery life just don't seems to be better then z2, and results and very random.. sometimes better then z2, sometimes worst then z2. Perheps firmware upgrade will help..

I have rolled through 3 Z3s due to defects on my 4th, all had great battery life up to 8.5 hours SOT, lowest is about 5 hrs SOT, before calibration. Give it a few charging cycles, or do a full charge and full discharge then recharge and use. You should then be fine. If that does not work maybe you got some errant apps or lots of them continously syncing. Also go to backup and reset menu and disable data logging.
been averaging a day and a half with over 8 hrs SOT with mine. mix of wifi/lte
I don't know how you guys do it. I always get around 3 hours SOT, no matter what. I wish there was a way to check wakelocks without root.

I think it has something to do with the apps you use.
Facebook, facebook messenger, snapchat, swiftkey and Nova Launcher gave me from 4+ estimated days (in stamina mode) to 1 day and 1 hours.
If I don't play games, I get between 6 and 8 hours SOT at the moment.
Check that google play services aren't burning through battery.
Should never get 2 or 3 or even 4 hours SOT unless you're playing games.
I use screen brightness on about 80% as well.
I'll be posting my power usage screenshots soon.
Off to the top off my head, screen was about 50% of power (with automatic brightness, and the slider set on the 1st third), the most power hungry app took about 25%, with the rest taken up by various other processes and apps.
WiFi off.
Facebook used to be a battery killer, I don't use it, but check on that.
Z3 has an incredible battery life
there's something wrong in the op
For my baterry stay perfectly (often 20% for system 20% standby and 50% screen)
Even if it's Facebook that eats 25% of power that still wouldn't account for the overall bad battery life.
Nope mate, sorry - my battery life is out of this world. It's not the Z3, it's your device - get it tested, re-flashed or inspected if the problem persists.

Oh no I already removed, I do not have any battery issues, I was just giving a tip to OP.
Right, so here are my power usage screen shots.
I don't think these can be called ok in any kind of scenario.
I would like to add that with my Z2 I didn't ever get up to the 6 or 7 hours other people were getting out of it, but with my kind of use I got 4 to 4.5 hours, which is considerably more than I'm getting right now.
I supposed it's kinda obvious, with a faster CPU and a smaller battery. What else could have happened. It just annoys me that Sony tries to tell us that battery life is BETTER than on the Z2. It is not.
Well, reviews uphold/confirm Sony's claims so its probably not the phone itself per say. I get 7-8.5 Hrs SOT easily. Disable autosync when un-needed and location services as well. Then see.
Just as everyone suspected, it's malwarebook causing abysmal battery life. Remove it and watch your phone get tons more battery.
Considering that you're one of the very few, if not only, getting poor battery.....I have no idea what else it could be. The phone get's better battery because of using the 801 SOC instead of the 800, which sips battery like fine wine, leading to the increase in life over the z2.
Malware.... Yeah, whatevs.
Fact remains that with the same usage as before my Z3 performs worse than my Z2, so there.
Now that the masses are receiving their devices and it officially launched at Tmo stores nationwide (well most) how about some battery life experiences?
We all know all too well how battery life can vary and there is NO real way to measure except to give our individual results. Please keep in mind that trying to compare your battery life to another is futile
KISS keep it simple. Give approximates, don't be anal like me (or be specific it's okay)!
Just name your provider and if root/unlock, # of apps installed, WiFi vs Cellular percentage, average cell strength, SOT (screen on time) and whether or not using adaptive brightness and at what %, your typical usage (how you used your phone including GPS usage, talk time, and streaming), and a couple of screenies showing what ya got.
I'll start it off with my first day with the phone. I charged it to 92% and have had it off since ~11:30AM today.
T-Mobile stock no root no unlock
55 apps
WiFi 80% Cellular 20%
105dBm average
SOT is 2hr 55min with 50% battery left. Adaptive brightness ON always @ 50%
Ambient OFF
Syncing all Google apps, I use GNow, 2 push email, and weather every hour. I text and browse web throughout the day and talked on phone ~20min. GPS on battery save
For my first cycle I'm very pleased!
That's about the same as my moto x, so average?
Here's my moto x (2013) battery usage.
Auto brightness, 2-3 bars most of the day on Sprint's network. YouTube, monument valley, reddit, browser, gmail, twitter, bluetooth, locations, google now, and other apps.
On target for 6 hours SOT. It probably wont make it to 6 but 5+ is my bare minimum so it looks like you will make it without any issues. After the kernels and tweaks come I believe we can hit 7 hours or close to it.

That would be great, plus google can always release more patches.
I'm on pace to hit about 4 hours of SOT. Using WiFi only right now as my local LTE signal is worse on the nexus vs my 6+, which us shocking BC I remember motorola having great radios back when I was an avid android user. I do love both platforms so no bias here at all lol. Love this nexus and where android stands with lollipop. Probably going to stick with my 6+ as my primary for now. I really wish we could see SOT for the 6+ BC it is an absolute BEAST in that area. I can't run the dang thing down unless I try and even then it is exhausting. For you recent android users, what is the typical SOT these days for the phones with such big batteries and high res screens? Is it really the screen that kills the batteries so quickly in comparison to the lower res screen on the iPhone phablet?
My first full charge since I got the phone early this morning and I'm at 2 hours sot at 70%. Brightness is at about 90% with adaptive on. Watched a few utube bids and browsed around all on 4g

When people are posting SOT I would like to also know whether adaptive brightness is being used or not. I'll gladly post some screenshots in the coming days once my battery gets a few cycles on it.

Great point I'll add that thanks :good:
Mine is activated on verizon and i feel like im having excessive battery drain.
My first full discharge had over 3 hours of screen on time and went from early afternoon to the next morning. How are people getting 6 hours?
Today i charged it up when i returned home from work. Only a few hours on the battery and only 48 minutes of screen time so far on this discharge and I'm at 70% as of writing this post through the phone. Adaptive brightness is off and the brightness has been set low (1/4th brightness or less depending on light, with screenfilter on to make it dimmer than normal when needed). Also, data is off and only wifi is on for data. Ok google detection is on though and i noticed recently that its not taking my commands with the screen off even though its set to.
Finally, the thing gets very hot when using it, especially when charging.
Edit: picture of the battery stats the morning after I made this post. It's nice that the battery practically flat lines at night when I also turn off cell data and WiFi. However, something is waking my phone and I don't know what it is, maybe its auto sync. I can't seem to figure out how to turn off auto sync with android 5.0 so I can test that.
I think it is better also to specify how much percentage of the adaptive brightness.
Because you can set it to 100% or lower, like 30%.
That would affect the battery, no?

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 Huawei P30 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.
8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.
I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.
What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?
With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)
I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?
I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..
Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.

11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:
But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?
How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????
Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.
I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.
I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.

10+ hours SoT (12 or so full battery) on 60hz mostly browsing chrome, average brightness. I don't do 120hz, period, only reason I'd use it is if a phone didn't have any lower option. I think 120hz looks weird so there's no reason for me personally to waste the battery for it.
Not sure how 120hz would work out

Hi there. May I ask how you are getting 10+ hours of SoT? Were there some settings you adjusted to achieve such phenomenal SoT? I'm losing a lot of battery even when I don't use it.
I use 60Hz refresh rate as well, browse chrome, and low brightness as well. Heck, I don't have any social media apps refreshing in the background, only mail and messaging apps occasionally giving me notifications.
Thanks.

Well I use 60hz and battery saver is on pretty much all the time. (don't use ultra battery saver though, it basically just breaks your phone and messes up settings)
Don't turn the brightness up higher than you need it. Use wifi whenever possible. Turn location/Bluetooth off when not in use.
Not sure of anything else that helps.

Thanks for the tips.
I used to have battery saver on, but it seems like it bogs down notifications, or maybe it was because I didn't set permissions for every app. I have discussed this in another thread, but anyway, I should use power saver again now that I have all the permissions and data settings out of the way.
Brightness is always as low as possible. I work in an office or at home, and with the virus still hanging around, I haven't been outside for recreation using the camera/GPS, etc.
At least I know you didn't have to work something complicated out. Thanks again.
Wait, your SoT is in one day, right?

Oh ok. I'm a bit different because I use my phone maybe about three hours tops everyday.
Interesting because I observed my phone for the past two nights and it's been draining about 6% overnight, around 6 hours sleep time. This is the biggest battery I've ever had on a phone, so losing 6% makes me wonder if I haven't set something up correctly.

It might just be the different apps we use. Different apps will use more power during different use scenarios, 6% overnight isn't TOO bad but it could be lower. Do you have the option on that turns off power draining features when it detects you're asleep? It's somewhere deep in battery saver settings.

Yeah, different apps for sure. I don't use anything like Instagram/Snapchat, or whatever people use nowadays. My Mate 10 Pro I've upgraded from stays at the same battery level overnight as when it was taken off the charger when new. Two/three years down the line with some battery degradation, it only drains 2-3% every night, so that's why I was so confused.
I think I know what you're talking about. The sleep detection feature doesn't make a difference. The only difference it has is it doesn't refresh notifications while draining the same amount of battery. I think I might need to dig into the settings a bit more or just take it. The drain isn't all that bad, but may take some time to get used to. I should probably try and do a factory reset or something.
Have you disabled and uninstalled all of the unnecessary junk apps using that Xiaomi adb tool?
I'm using Mi 10 Ultra @ 120Hz and getting 7 hrs SoT + 12 hrs Standby and left with 1%. 6hrs SoT + 10:51 Standby @ 20% left. Heavy use of Facebook and Messenger. Light use of Chrome, Youtube, etc. Google Photos backup turned on. Overnight drain is usually around 5% for me.
Active
5 hrs 41 mins
Standby
4 hrs 12 mins
With 18% left
Does this look any good?
I'm not blown away by the battery life but I guess it's better than what my s20 or even the note 20 ultra was
60 hz vs 120 hz.
Only WiFi, auto brightness, social media apps, few pictures.
Generally it's a decent battery for 120 hz, csn make a hole day without worries.
Battery saver seems to give me an extra 20-30% SoT without noticeably impacting my experience beyond the fact that it disables Gmail sync. 8-10 hours without it, 10-14 with.
Do you guys debloat stuff?
i have no luck with Xiaomi and always have poor battery.
Greenify helps. I don't need to charge every day as my phone turns off at midnight and on at 7am.
It's two batteries not one and they are coated in graphene so I expect longevity!
Early signs are good but when this is rooted with lspeed and Greenify it'll be superb.

I've come from a Mi9 which when rooted with a custom kernel and ROM lasted a couple days of moderate use.
Xiaomi bloat is annoying but the hardware is brilliant. You really should explore unlocking that true potential if you don't...
They're not really coated in graphene, they use a graphene electrode. The benefits of graphene electrodes aren't super clear beyond the fact that they're 1000x more conductive than the typical electrode material used in lithium ion batteries. That means less heat when charging and discharging but it's hard to say what else. Supposedly 800+ cycles for minor capacity degradation to set in, instead of the 300-500 for typical batteries, but that's a claim made by xiaomi not necessarily one that's been scientifically proven on this battery or other phones yet. I'm sure it's better than normal batteries but how much better and in what ways isn't clear yet.

Greenify helps. I don't need to charge every day as my phone turns off at midnight and on at 7am.
It's two batteries not one and they are coated in graphene so I expect longevity!
Early signs are good but when this is rooted with lspeed and Greenify it'll be superb.

So what's your next step?
My battery life has gotten much worse lately and I'm not sure why exactly. Down to 6-7 hours SoT from 10+ easily before. It happened around the same time I installed accubattery, but I uninstalled it a few hours later so I doubt it's that unless it somehow changed a system setting.
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

can you check in https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.andr7e.deviceinfohw.pro&hl=pl whats your screen manufacturer
'
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.
