6 hours SOT from under 100% to 20% on first full charge WOW!
Thankfully battery on Oreo seems on par
Can't complain about that. Twice what my HTC 10 would usually manage. :good:
It just keeps getting better and better. Release Oreo already
thanks all for posting the results .. i might get one
Basing off accubattery app in playstore, sot is at 6hr 55m. For a 3090 mha batt, its remarkable already.
I get around 8 hours on 7.1.1, nearly as good as my Moto G5 Plus (which has a slightly smaller battery)
LTE on Location on sync on
Very good performance

Got 7:22 at 20%, this was all on wifi at home but with LTE on. Lots of installing/configuring apps, a bit of GPS/ingress, lots of twitter/web browsing/etc.
I'm getting about 4- 4 1/2 hours on LTE.
WIFI on, but not connected,
Bluetooth connected to hands free.
About 30-45 minutes of calls.
Skype, whatsapp, hangouts running in background.
Playing some games.
Loads of driving, so signal changes all the time.
Edit:it looks like SoT is getting better after few more day.
Now I'm getting over 6 hours in exactly the same conditions.
These are my best numbers. I noticed that phone calls and camera are the most draining apps. Usually I don't play games, sometimes async multiplayer games like Scrabble or similar.
Wifi ON if a network is avaliable
Bluetooth always ON (FitBit)
LTE enabled
Brightness automatically over 25%
Airplane mode and battery saver when I'm sleeping

My partial SoT with WiFi always enabled; active LTE; NFC on; all synchronized; adaptative backlight set on 25%; Glance actived; double tap to wake actived.
Amazing battery life. My old Nexus 5X had an average of 3:30 SoT

I'm getting a maximum of 4 hours SOT with 8.1 beta. Sometimes I get less. However, it doesn't appear to be the display that's the problem. Hopefully 8.1 stable arrives soon and resolves the issue.
This yesterday, after two day. Obviously Android 8.1 beta

Post your battery results and discuss how to make it better :good:
Let's hope Kirin 950 is efficient because with the right setup, Mate 7 does well and I see no reason why Mate 8 should be much different.
See how Mate 8 owners compare, once the phone is in your hands and rooted etc.
I run LeanDroid and Kinscreen, phone is rooted and Google de-bloated.
Here's where my Mate 7 was at this morning.
the biggest worry is as always the modem...they drain a lot battery.
not many people think about it since it is "hidden" statistics

People with extreme long battery stats are usually those who use wifi only..
normal usage include 4G. I use no wifi only 4G.
The best apps for battery life?
Running on lenovo,Huawei mate 8,Note5, S6
Epic battery for me yesterday, first full charge, performance mode on all day, 19 hours up time with 6hrs39mins screen-on and 11% remaining when I turned in for bed. Looks like 7 hours screen-on over a full day should be doable, in a straight line I would think 8hrs+.
Similar again yesterday, 18hrs on battery, 5hrs 20mins screen-on, 23% battery remaining.

Your battery life does not say us anything unless you are using wifi or 3g/4g ?
you would see that in the mate 7 thread people using only wifi would get very superior screen on time while we normal people using 4G
would get more realistic battery life around 4-5 hours.
I hope you do not use wifi since that consume a lot less power as you might understand, and the modem
is a "hidden" battery drainer which is not shown in battery statistics ( I wish it did )
Mostly on WiFi, but if I contrast with other devices we can still make a meaningful comment.
My Note 4, in the same use, would not reach 4 hours of screen-on time. Neither would the 6P that I had. The P8Max would hit around 5 hrs.
So far the battery life here is best I have experienced on Android.

IF you have been using mostly wifi I would be little bit worried about the battery life when using 4G for data.
Also the software is still in early phase ..so big improvements can be made still in most areas.. battery life and camera etc.
battery life also depends on your usage pattern concerning apps. independent from wifi vs 3g/4g ull get far less SOT if u use cpu/gpu intensive apps all the time. so a direct comparison with other devices from the same user with identical usage patterns makes sense

Mind posting more screen shot of battery life of your usage? I am very interested. Battery chart + sot. Thanks.
I'm sure with time and people getting their hands on the phone, battery life will only improve. I avg 1d 4-5 hours with 6-8hr sot on my note 3 with 4g but the phone has been out for a long time
The Note 3 had pretty good battery life, from memory when I moved to Note 4 there was a reasonable regression there.
After a couple of charges and latest firmware update my battery life has been stunning. Yesterday/day before yesterday I went 36hrs on a single charge and had 6.5hrs screen-on. That's totally unprecedented on Android for me. Today I am down to 60% and have had 4.5hrs screen-on. For me at least is a new high bar for Android battery life.

Yesterday's battery report - 18hrs on battery, 7hrs20mins SOT, 17% remaining (another hour and a half or so or SOT for general use I would think). Indoors, WiFi, low screen brightness etc, but nevertheless destroying every other Android I've ever owned. Spent 50mins playing some emulator games towards the end - Wipeout Pure (PPSSPP) and Fire Emblem Path of Radiance (Gamecube game in dev build of Dolphin). They got the phone warm and were, as you would expect, much heavier drains than browsing and so forth (probably more so than higher end native Android games as they stretch the CPU as well). For those interested Path of Radiance played seemingly perfect for the first level proper of gameplay, overclock set to 0.2.
wait, ure able to overclock the cpu already? nice

No, sorry if that was unclear, that's a change in Dolphin itself. I'm a bit in shock at how well Fire Emblem is running on a phone.

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.

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.

Pretty much the same as with my Huawei P9, it lasts a day, maybe a day and a half. And on average the screen on time is about 4 hours... Wifi is on when I'm home, and mobile data is on when i'm out. Screen brightness always on auto.

About the same here. Battery life is decent, not great.
5-6 hours SoT here
I get an average of 4hours. Cpu is more power hungry than a snaodragon 835 with a 3000mah battery having the same usage pattern.
4 hours screen on time with 5% left on the end of a day
LTE always on, wi-fi always on, nfc always on
battery not great but phone should last to the end of a day. hope huawei is now adding better batteries than it did in nexus 6p where batteries were destroyed after a one year of usage.
Weird. I'm getting a regular 6 hours SOT. Turn off auto brightness, i watched a review saying it consumes a lot of power.

Yeah, I kind of expected better SOT, but I can get by with the around 4h I currently get. Wouldn't mind having 6h, though. I'll switch auto brightness OFF and see how that affects things.
Between 7-8 hours sot plus about 2 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth with screen off for me with over 2 days usage. One of the best phones I ever had. Bluetooth on and connected to Garmin. WiFi and data always on. Automatic screen brightness activated. Few settings adjustments in order to increase sot but nothing really aggressive. I'm on B120 C782 model.

Google play store turned off automatic updates. I just check every few days if updates are available. Turned off remotely find my device under Google settings/ security. This causing a lot off wakelocks. This is completely useless option. In the case of device being stolen, bypass frp lock and flash new software is so easy just now so I think it's really pointless to keep it on. Google chrome/ data saver on. ....and under developers options all animations, windows transitions are off. Theme changed for theme from mate 10 Porsche edition. IThat's it. The rest is completely stock. Facebook and messenger apps installed. .... I don't play any games if that's makes any difference.
I get just around 5 or 6 SOT. I was hoping for more. It was the first discharge from 100%. Do you guys think is gonna improve or should I give it a factory reset?
By the way. I managed to get up to 47C cpu temp while playing games
5hrs SOT on avg. have had it for less than a week so going to monitor some more before I conclude on its efficiency.
Can anyone Pls report about screen on time? The device got updates, is it possible to get an average time of about 5-6 hours? Some reviews says the battery is bad, some say the battery is excellence...
Thanks and regards
Nobody any experience about average screen one time?
3-6h SOT on stock b164, rooted, depending on usage.
I get about 4 hours sot. Was hoping for more...im a little bit disappointed. Should I do a factory reset after updating to newest firmware 164? I'm not sure if since updating to 164 battery life has been getting more worse.

Very first 1 day, 6 hours of usage after my initial 100% full charge and I'm down to 10% with 7h 12m screen on time so far. And this during a time where I have setup the phone and played extensively around with every function here and there. So far I find it amazing.
Screen on time has been great so far, especially coming from S9+. I got 2 days of usage with 6.5h SOT and 20% battery left while also off screen downloading around 40GB of Tidal data, so SOT could be even higher. The biggest improvement compared to Sammy seems to be cellular data usage. Every Samsung I had, had crazy battery consumption on either 3G or 4G - stand by and SOT drain was 2-3 times higher compared to Wi-Fi. P30 doesn't seem to care whether on Wi-Fi or data and consumes around the same. Oh, and 20 minutes of Asphalt 9 ate 5% and 20 minutes of Wi-Fi Netflix drained 2%. Both on 50% brightness. So far so good.
Not happy with the battery life so far. Screen on time less than 8hours before I need to charge, brightness <50%, saving mode activated and phone only used for Web browsing and whatsapp. Is that normal?

Awesome battery life from this little one.
Android 10 emui 10 is better than the 9.1.
With Google Photos setup to work only when I open the be app, location history and background scanning off everything is better them my last phone OnePlus 6T.
I am amazed whit the stability of Emui, even after update without clearing cache. The visual is far better on Android 10. I am very satisfied coming to Huawei from OnePlus.
anyone move to the P30 from P30 Pro? I am thinking of moving to the P30 from my P30 Pro, but I want to make sure it has the same great battery life.
Just got the phone from a friend. First day use and have found it has amazing battery life. Much much better than the oneplus devices which I previously used. Including the 8 pro.
All settings as standard, both WiFi and data on always. No adjustments to battery settings.
8 hr 30 min SOT 9%
Phone age: Between 1 year-2 years
Usage: Browsing, youtube, messenger, medium gaming

I had a Oneplus 3 since october 2016 and I did not realised how bad the battery was. During the last 2 years I had 2h30 of sot MAX, mosty 2h.
With the Oneplus Nord, after the first charge I got 4h30 of sot (36 hours of usage) and still 21% battery left.
I don't game, mostly web browsing.

This has me a bit worried. I have had a Huawei mate 20 and a Xiaomi mij 9t pro that got me 6 to 7 hours easily... And those had 4000 mAh.
This proves everything is relative. It is more than enough for me.
Don't forget It was only the first cycle so I cannot conclude anything yet.
Not to bad after 4 day's actually. 5.5 hours SOT and 33% left. Most of the time spend on WiFi though.
9h
Just web browsing. Little youtube , 30 minutes or so. Wifi. Brightness auto.
Update
Well , there it is.
Battery is great. Period.
Battery is great. Usually I get 7-8 of sot. Also the charging is ridiculously fast for me as I switched from a 4 year old phone with just a 5 watt charger.

Nice how are your settings and how much standby time ?
Check on lte or 5g only and show the graphs .
Battery drainage is not just a nord domain.

I only charged twice so far, but both times I barely got over 6 hours SOT. Using 60hz, on WiFi, mostly just browsing web, no gaming.

Well maybe it is so high because I did not used the phone that much then and it was new , not so many apps instaled .
Now a get max 8 hours .
So , it just hapend I guess.
One HIT wonder like. ?
I am barely getting 4-5 hours of SoT. Is there something that I need to do to boost up my battery life?
When I first got the phone battery life was just ok 4 hrs sot. After 5 days its improved by quite a bit including the latest September update.
Am on 90hz all the time. Blocked all Facebook. So far its ok. Would have been great if it had a slightly bigger battery.
I will get an 6 or 7 hrs screen on time on 90hz,
In this picture iam using continues hotspot thats why its low
