Amazing sot with 4g data on max time.

SOT was taken before I plugged the phone in at 3%

Outstanding battery life! In really impressed. Screenshot taken with 4% battery left.

Guys, my cell standby eats 1000 Mah in one day, my maximum SoT is 5 + hours, also i cannot see how much power my WiFi eats up, it's not on the battery usage list, maybe it's merged with cell standby? Also my wifi is on all day and my signal is not bad at all, i have 0% time without signal with -100 dbm average. Help pls

My sot time

Mostly WiFi. Oddly enough my phone just shows "4g" not 4g LTE
Yesterday I got 5 hrs SOT with over 1 hr of Pokémon Go and still 24% left. Display was on full brightness in auto mode because the sun was shining like crazy. That alone used around 30%. After that I set up my Android Wear watch and did some downloading of games etc.
I think when simply browsing on WiFi/4G way more is possible. Will post if I have some figures.
These 3 pictures are from today. Mostly wifi, 1 hr commute, 40 mins Pokémon Go, a lot of twitch and Reddit.
Gotta say, I am very impressed.
I don't have screenshots, but on first cycle I got 5h45 min SOT( setting up the phone, social media, youtube, phone calls etc.) and 35% battery left when I left to sleep. First impressions are great, and I'm really liking this phone so far.
From 95 to 25.
Wifi and LTE casual browsing, lots of instagram, some streaming to chromecast.
Battery is fine.

It is purely wifi right?
7hr 15 min of SOT in 16hr 5 min of usage. 4G on whole time except the 7hr at night during which the battery dropped 6 percent.
Will update about how long it can go.

It's absolutely bonkers.
My result - heavy usage with navigation, taking pictures, changing countries and only via LTE, 3G, 2G
I am having massive battery drain. The launcher, phone app and voice calls are the main culprits. I have just charged my phone so I will be posting my stats when it drains below 20%
I am mostly on lte and a medium user. I am getting only 4.30 to 5 hrs of sot when the phone hits 15%.
10 mins of calls takes 4% of phone and voice calls. Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

Not bad, my old device Xperia z2 would go down to 35% for similar usage.
My screen on time is 5 hours. And battery drains to 27%. It isn't bad, but it isn't half as good as what others are getting.
I'm getting terrible battery level life. See attached screenshots. The phone is also very warm and still discharges when plugged in via USB. Do I have a faulty unit? Any tips gladly received. I've reset it, formatted the SD Card (from my old phone). I'm at a loss.
My battery life on 1st full charge with dual sim usage on 4G: I am pretty impressed with it.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Huawei P20's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

It is old discussion but I have lot of phone and 1year ago i had Motorola G5. P20 everything off -8% per 8 hours / G5 1-2% per 8hours ..
Battery are the same 3300 vs 3000mAh. Where is the problem ? With ultra saving mode with P20 drain is 0-1% per 8 hour.. Optimalisation of standart mode is not good, even if agresively close apps. This is problem for me which I hope it will be solved..but still nothing then it is normal i think.. Next phone will be with clear android like G5 :/ ..EMUI have good things but....
Battery drain is visible, it's 14.37 and with 1 hour or so of screen on time, Whatsapp(web version so phone is theoretically standby) and 5 minutes of Facebook battery is at 56%.
I don't know why but i would've expected more from this phone, i come from a Meizu M1 note which with the same usage gave me similar results but it's a phone from January 2015 and not a top of the range smartphone.
I wonder if there are settings to prevent this because it seems that battery drains fast even in standby, it's my first Huawei so any help with EMUI settings is appreciated, as well as help with activating stereo speaker mode.
I am using a Huawei P20
No battery drain for me, very good standby battery IMO. 24h+ with 3h+ SOT avg usage.
Battery life is pretty good IMO. I have owned this device for a few weeks now and overall I am pretty satisfied with the autonomy. I can easily last a full day with a bit of YouTube, some calls, messenger, photos and end up my day with approximately 30%.
Extremely satisfied with the off screen battery save which is the main advantage!
My P20 Pro takes about 1% per hour at night. Had hoped for less. Have no problem manage a full day on a full charge
Mine also.
With the WiFi off and no data connection it drops 1% /hour.
Excellent battery in my opinion. Only 1-3% drop of battery across the night (~8 hours).
Doing Great with mine
My battery doesn't drop too much either , like 58% of my usage is hardware and come from the screen brightness and I think in ultra power save mode the battery can drop 1% per 4-6 hours that so amazing from huawei and in normal standby I lose 1-3% in 2-3 hours

I use my phone for email(work and gmail) , whatsapp , Youtube and reddit with the odd web search here and there. With a mix of lte and wifi and adaptive brightness off (I adjust brightness from 50% to 100% manualy) I get around 5 to 6 hours Screen on time with the most ive ever gotten being 6hours and 30 minutes. Will try naptime with adb commands and see if I can get better results.
the battery is poor, with my z2 and z3 i got most than 12h without a charge, this poop i got 5 or 6 hours ?? i think is because lcd screen. i regret to downgrade from my z3
Battery is poor due bloatware , I disable all and my phone last up to 2 days with a moderate use . Also , GPS , Wireless , Data and Bluetooth are used only on purpose , all those are OFF . So in my opinion battery is great or at least is trendy...
With naptime the most I got was 7 hours SOT. The phone still lasts a full day before needing a charge and I charge my phone when it reaches 20%.
Generally if I use 4g a lot I get around 5 to 6 hours SOT.

after 3 weeks of using i have very different SOT, all r WIFI/LTE with 79 apps and with thos who drians battery even in background like Facebook and ultra drain like Tik Tok, im still happy with 9H SOT and im using phone non stop, still strange forst month i got 12h sot no max 10 with same apps

16 hours with 60% battery DOD(depth of discharge). Spread over 3 days and 3 hours. Web browsing and social media mostly, with some selfies and stuff. Phone connected to towers all the time. No flight mode. Bluetooth, GPS, etc whenever required. Battery saver on (good to reduce standby drain )
You can get another 10 hours with 100% DOD, if you don't want to maximise battery health.
Full day of screen on time!
The CPU is super efficient and Moto has done a great job in optimising it further. Battery feels nuclear.
Samsung M51 can't compete even with a 7000mAh battery. That one lasts longer only in watching porn coz it's Amoled.
Edit: Grammar and emojis
Got my MG9P on 27th. Battery seems to be incredible so far - at 67% current SOT 5H 31 min. Phone was charged 23 h ago - first charge to 100%.
Phone suprised me in how responsive it is ^^
Heavy use, phonecalls, messaging, some music, bluetooth on, wifi on, looking really good after 2 days
The battery life of this is truly amazing. Depending on your use, this will last a long, long time. During normal use, watching videos and the like, the battery drops at a rate of about 3% per hour, which is good, and if it is idle, it drops at 1% every hour.
Easily lasts for 2 days from 100 to 0, and on less use, will last even more.
I charge from 20 to 80 to maximise the longevity of the battery, even still, it lasts me 2 days.
Excellent battery.

everybody get 10+ sot and u have only 6h with 6000mah battery? something is wronk dude
Just bought the G9 to test it's battery-life,
This is my first 100% usage with it, 12h SOT over 1 day++ with 4h of them playing Gc. Guess I could get 15h SOT over 2 days+ with light usage.

			
				
Update on last post. Very good battery-life Beats my Asus ROG phone that has the same batterycapacity
