How is battery consumption for 1 or 2 or several hours of music listening (in percent) ?
I guess that counts as "light" usage

I personally get excellent battery life. I average 2 days and on occasion will get a 3rd out of it. Im not a heavy user, but I use Tidal on Master audio settings with My cans when I listen to audio for periods at a time and see low drain, im happy. I bought the phone within a month of its official launch on US carriers.

Thank you
Anyone else can share their experience with (local) Music Playback and battery consumption ?
e.g. 3 hours = 5-15 % or so ?
I'm trying to get an experience/knowledge how much battery this consumes with vendor optimized ROMs (such as LG's) on Snapdragon 835

i travel ~1.5 to work each day by train, i listen to music (bluetooth headphones) in this time and check Google maps once or twice. when i arrive at work, my battery is usually still above 95%

A full day's light use consumes only about 15-30% with this V30S.
That's with display adjusted to lowest moderate brightness per given ambient lighting, and turned off whenever not actually being viewed.
However, a mechanical 2.5" USB hard drive running on OTG power drains the battery down much faster. Maybe 20-25% drained in about 10 minutes of hard drive use including file transfers.
This implies that the battery runtime performance of the V30S is largely a result of more efficient SD835 and display, maybe SW optimizations too.

I've been unplugged for 33h and I'm at 50%
battery with 2 short phone calls, 12h Spotify via Bluetooth, 2h news reading (nyt app), handful of photos and videos and 50 WhatsApp messages.
I don't really care about sot because I am a light user, but it seems I can easily get 2-3 days out of the 30+, not sure if others get out more but I'm pretty happy about it.

Well, without an heavy usage, this device's battery life could go down at something like 20% @ day with my light usage (But i do a jump on XDA often if i can )
my kinda usage is like playing coc (minimum 10 attacks) , playing music, atleast while im travelling, (i do travel 3 hours daily to my work/college) minimum od 30 minutes of calls, and a few temple runs , and a bit of subway surfing, quite a bit of yutube , and a lot of playstore,
today i lasted about 5h30m sot with 24% remaining..
i call that an excellent battery performance
Do you guys take money or gift from Huawei? In all this real life threads there are the same guys talking about how great is this phone. That is not so great.
With light browsing, occasional reddit and xda, WhatsApp, downloading and light CoC + a couple other games I get 6.30 houesbof SoT
And on days that I rarely use the phone except tor the occasional calls and WhatsApp + reddit i get around 8 hours SoT . ( I will upload proof in about 12 hours)

They don't have to if the phone is already superb. From my experience the phone can last 2 days easily with light usage.I usually get 6+ hours SOT .
Casual use like texting and chatting can reach 7 hrs or more.
Perform well. On light usage gives upto 10 hrs SOT on regular usage gives around 7-8
It perform well.
Best phone in this budget for light user
I gets one j half day and sometimes manages to 2 days without need to charger having wifi and 4g enabled all the time
Oh yes. At light use, I don't have to worry about charging. :angel:
9 hrs on light usage for me.
Endured 2 days without charging.
You can easily reach two days of life with light usage.

I guess this is more medium use than heavy or light, but coming from a 6p with a dying battery and the shut off issue, I woke up this morning on 100%, unplugged it at 4am when I woke up to close the windows and go back to sleep, with my phone set up from unboxing it yesterday, but not 'de-bloated' or anything. Wifi, BT,Data and Location are on, the auto screen adjustment is taking care of that, and I've been:
Facebook
Messenger
Hangouts
Browsing Forums
Playing a few games
Showing it off to colleagues etc
Currently sat at 81%, which is very impressive, 6p would be on charge by now! Will see what it's like with the same sort of use (which is my usual use tbh) by bedtime.
Coming from the, 1+5 with a smaller battery i did expect more stamina, albeit with a higher resolution screen as well as larger.
But even with the same apps installed and the same routine it just doesnt compare.
Cleared 10 hours SOT with the 1+5 quite easily, the pro barely makes that.
Probably the system or CPU /GPU causing it.
Nothing wrong with the battery but there are definitely better performers out there
I think it's pretty enduring with light usage.
With the last charge, I had 2,5D of standby and 5.5h DOT. Mostly web, emails and Toy Blast because I was stuck in a traffic jam for hours and needed something to play....
how the hell are you guys achieving these numbers? i'm at 26hrs standby, only 1:03 SOT, and i'm at 52 percent. i've optimized the living hell out of the settings and app starts. at least i know what's possible for others
How long have you been using it? I'm currently at 26h standby, 0.4h DOT and 84%. I have already ran a data backup, been on the phone for 40 minutes and did some emailing. BUT let me tell you, it was not like this from the beginning. I also have been optimizing the phone like a maniac because out of the box, I would only get like 30h standby and 2.5h DOT which is ridiculous. But I only recently noticed that the phone got gradually better after around 3 weeks with this device.
With light use, I am getting through two days of use before I have to recharge. Pretty standard.
I was very busy this week and didn't have much time to use my phone and here what happened , my SOT was 3 hours 28 minutes but idle time is interesting
Of course, this is not my usual result, usually i charge my phone every second or third day, and sot can be 10 hours, so i'm happy with battery, definitely

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Xiaomi Mi 8's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Sharing my very heavy usage experience:
Job:
Field technician (driving a car from customer to customer all day, and working while there),
Climate:
Mediterranean (hot and humid, always, everywhere),
Always on:
4G, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, Truecaller, Pango (parking app), sync to personal Google account, sync to exchange work account, Google photos cloud backup,
While driving from one customer to another:
GPS navigation, full brightness, Bluetooth, Spotify, phone calls.
While at customers:
Phone calls, WhatsApp, camera, Pango (parking app)
Results:
Leaving home in the morning with 100% (after charging overnight)
Returning late in the evening with 5-15% (depends mostly on navigation usage).
...all without charging at all during the day!
I love this device...
(Came from Sony Xperia Z5 Compact - which was awful in every way except it's size...)
Sent from my LGL722DL using XDA Labs
Not that much of a heavy user, but mostly browsing on Social Media and Reddit (2-3h bc of lab work and lots of spare time in between)
listening about 6h music daily (BT always on)
Navigation 1h in total with max brightness
sometimes watching YT (30 mins max)
After almost 2 years of this kind of usage my battery life dropped to roughly 75% if not less (according to AccuBattery) and have to charge it 2-3 times a day. In the beginning I could get as much as 6-8h DOT easily, now I struggle to get more than 3 hours.
Right now I'm looking for a authentic Mi8 battery, but I heard it's way too hard to find one. (at this point: Please, if somebody has a link to a supplier in Europe or Asia, post it here or PM me <3)
I love the phone and the performance is still superb, would be great to keep it for another year or two, since Im not ready with spending 600€ or more for a decent successor, if the Mi8 is still doing great beside the battery life.

After 2 to 3 charging cycles, it doesn't really feel like a 6k mah battery. More or less same battery life as the 4k mah k20pro. No gaming, no streaming. Both sims on 4g with dual volte.
All apps except whatsapp on battery restricted mode. No gps. No sync. On 90Hz.
On this aggressive saving settings, k20pro would have 40% left by end of day.
6.000 mah battery with screen on 25%, 60hz refresh rate, deactivated google apps and sevices, no android services opened and disabled, example: Lift phone to ear to answer calls, everything stock twinkered and like i said disabled or opened, battery lasts 2 days with minimum usage, youtube / facebook / some calls / 2-3 hours total usage per day, this is a fake battery marketing, i had years ago lenovo p2 that has 5000 mah battery and lasted longer.

10 hours screen on time+ 2 days of light use
3 days or about 10 hours of screen on time. mainly it depends on screen brightness and things you are doing e.g. gaming and stuff.
I've got a solid 2 days with a single charge and I always do a 80% battery MAX for recharging.
Most of the time when I plug in I am still over 20% in the 20-30% zone.
On days when I used the phone more I may occasionally end up around 15% but never bellow that is my bottom min for plugging in wall charger (NO FAST CHARGE).
I mostly type messages (text, mails, telegram...) and I have scripts running to enhance powersaving.
For example in low light environment (75lux) my screen brightness is set to static value of 7%. Rest of the time in is in Auto. My BT is set to turn off automatically if no devices are connected and my Wifi turns off automatically if no known network have been seen around for a while.
All my messaging app, or apps I want to receive notifications from are running from start without any battery restriction.
Battery saver is set to turn on everyday past 9PM to 7AM, and phone powers off at 11PM every day.
However MIUI optimization is turned down completely. It was giving me too many errors upon xapk installations and I am still to see any benefits from running it. At least I have no battery gain from having it on or off.
Ah oh yeah I am on stock A9 and not willing to go to A10 either stock or custom, at the moment I do not consider it stable enough. I just wish there would be someone willing to port LOS 16... (A9).
I know the phone would do 2 days easy without those, but it is more of me willing to be energy efficient, even if that's only for 3-5 extra battery % in the end, that's exactly those extra % you need when you have to make that call when you are bellow 15%
Great phone.
Hope this helps.
