Screen on time - Huawei Mate 20 Real Life Review

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 Mate 20 before depleting the battery.

No Wi-Fi.. Only Cellular Data. Can hit 7h SOT really impress..

Let's see how long can it maintain excellent battery life.. Sorry for the other post..

Data always on since no wifi. Manage to get 7-8 hours sot.

I think I've got exceptionally good battery life, I'm happy so far!

30h after last charge
+4h SOT
Still +50% left
2x SIM Dual LTE, VoLTE and WIFI Calling on
6x GMAIL, 2x IMAP, over 50 Apps, anything on (Bluetooth, GPS, WIFI..)
Really really good! Sometimes I get over 10h SOT but never under 8h after 2 full days.

Battery life is one of the main reasons I switched from the Pro and X to this. 4000mah, compared to 4200mah and 5000mah of the other two, has however the best battery life. This LCD screen consumes much less battery. I have been using the phone 90% under 4G with auto brightness today, and I'm amazed to see the result. I don't get this SOT on the Pro and X even under WIFI, let alone under 4G.

amazing!
75% on wifi

Fantastic

2 full days
3h SOT
50% left
2x SIM (both 4G)
Bluetooth, GPS and WIFI all the time on
50% WIFI 50% LTE
This phone is sick! It is almost a Redmi Note with powerfull hardware. It's hot here but display is on auto, anything is on, few min. calling, lil bit Spotify, few min. Youtube, a lot WhatsApp...
Anytime I get 6h with no WIFI
With WIFI I get +8h SOT
This is one of the real "working phones". My OP7 can also hit 8h SOT but after 1 day, WIFI and Youtube. Without video and mobile data is hard to get 5h SOT.

Nice, imagine what you'd get if you did some debloating and tweeking.

Hello,
If there is any Mate 20 owner here, two questions:
- did you get EMUI 10.1.x update?
- how is the SOT time after passing to Android 10 ?

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.

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.

My current record is 8 hours and 45 minutes SoT from 100% to 0% battery in one take, this is with screen brightness at 50% at all time.
I don`t like the automatic light change. It`s good for the day but when you go in very dark rooms or it`s just night it goes way too dim for my taste.
My average battery time is about 45 hours with around 5 hours of SoT.
This is with constant 50% screen brightness, mobile data always on;;; wi-fi, location, bluetooth, nfc, always on display turned off. Most of that time I`m actively using internet with calls for average 30 minutes per day.
I use it with 2 sim cards, one for calls, one for 4G internet. I have VoLTE active on one of the cards but it`s the internet one, haha. My main mobile operator have still not turned on this service for us.
So I think the battery performance is very good. I come from my old HTC E9+ which had 2 hours and 40 minutes SoT at best so for me this is extremely big jump in the freedom to do things with the device.
=====
I have managed to bring up my average SoT with disabling some things.
The only thing I still don`t know why the battery stat does not show every program I have used but only the ones with usage over 15 minutes. I would understand it for external apps, but I have used also google maps for at least 10 minutes today and I don`t see it in the list. Or this is just the way Oreo works?
I think I managed to get to peak optimization. Over 2 days of use with 8 hours of screen time.
I love this phone. :good:
The screens are from few days ago but I only got to have time and post them today.
This result is with 50% constant brightness. Yesterday I learned that I can actually train the automatic brightness to my desire so I expect to get even more from the battery life.
If only the camera were not so horrendous this phone would be truly ideal. Oh well, I don`t use it as main source for making photos anyway, heh.
Im getting About 10-11 hours of SoT. Im gonna add some Screenshots soon
I`m more inclined to get the battery to last for more days than SoT, currently this is what I can get with maximum optimizations.
Guys, You are showing some unreal results for me. My battery lasts only for 1 day. In order to rich 3 days of batt life, I have to activate airplane mod and do not use the device.?
Well, if you give as much as I of my time to do optimizations may be you will also be able to feel the pleasure of long lasting battery.
I have disabled over 60 apps and services. I have uninstalled some stuff, I did some things with adb shell. Took me days of tuning and removing all of the bloatware.
Also my worst SoT for now, just little over 5 hours. I guess voice calling (40 min.) and viber calls(over 1 hour) really suck battery juice.
I've made a lot of optimizations and tricks, debloats, have been messing around with governors and kernels, tried greenify in all my previous devices and can tell that 11 hours ToS is impossible for me and most of the users. It should be something like ultra power saving mode with disabled most of the functions. You can share here how to make battary last for eternity , by the way?.

@dennikali It is Jajanken from envy~ (I`m using envJajanken_proper.apk)
Here is how it looks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDJyTI5Xyw
I love it because it manages to make my notifications dark while many other themes can`t do that.
@Belgarionbg
I see you use YT Vanced. Do you have root?
No, I don`t have root.
I have installed XDA Laps app and I have download it from their app store. Everything work normally.
And this is what I have achieved using half my normal SoT (4 hours instead of 8)
This is on one full charge from 0% to 100% battery.
In this 4 days I have not connected the phone to pc nor any other kind of charger just to see how far it would go.
I made a video just in case someone try to accuse me in using photoshop. video in the folder<<
After 2 months of use the only thing I`m not satisfied is the camera, but with such good battery life I really don`t care anymore.
The first day after i buy the phone i lost 1 % overnight
After that the phone loses 5 yo 8% battery overnight although i do nothing. Why
Can you give a link to gcam ?

So, my average of SoT with almost 2 full days of use is about 5 hours, can get it to 6.5 hours sometimes if use youtube for a while for listening music while away from PC.
Here is one of screencaps from yesterday, friend asked for SoT and I got it.
Screen is on Auto, WiFi, Mobile, Location, NFC, AoD are always on and lately connect phone to BT Speaker while listening music, so this is for me pretty much good SoT (after P9 Lite which had sometimes abominable SoT with less then 2 hours).

That's nice! You're getting a great battery life.
Unfortunately I'm in Oreo but I've still had a good battery life and it surprises me compared to my old devices. Definitely the best battery life I've had!

I already received Android Pie two days ago and I'm getting better battery life!
Amazing battery life with Android Pie (9.0) on my SM-A750G. Still dont believing how can i get those results with a short battery capacity in 2019, 3300 mAh. Beautifully amazing!

-Location: Off
-Brightness: Adaptive (40, 45, 55% <---> 60% as much)
-Screen resolution: Default FHD+ (1080x2220 (i'd like to find an option to change it lower or higher without root))
That's all. Almost every cell phone i've had has had good battery life because of the custom settings i add.

Hy guys! I have never had such an amazing phone with a such a great battery! My last phone was a Mi Max 3 and was very hard for me to let it go because of the humongous battery of 5500mAh. I am using this Redmi Note 9S for two days and still have juice in it. Remember that it was charged just once and all the installation, backup, and the new start was made during this cycle. 80% i was only in Wifi but in my area the gsm signal is not that great and i choose the 2G network. The drain over night is maximum 1% with 2G and wifi off. Good luck guys!
Great results for me also. I'm getting at least 10 hours SOT per charge and I use a TON of social media like Snapchat/Instagram, etc.
Hi all, this battery is amazing for me I played around 3 hr or more, then FB like 2 hr, IG about 30 min. Sent whatsapp messages and messenger too. Calling about 2 hours with speakerphone. Searched for a case in amazon and other things like 1 hr or more and some browser time too.
By 4 am had like 13 hrs SOT, this time before put it to charge gonna take a screenshot and post it.
Cheers.
Hi, heres my SOT and have 14% left

Dear Senior Member, sorry for calling me stupid but i use Xiaomi phones for several years and i flashed hundreds of custom roms. Is it possible not to know how much my phone uses the battery? Do you really want to change my phone's system language just to clear this situation? Is so hard for you to understand from that picture? Let me explain...i charged the phone to 100% and then i used it normally( calls, sms, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc) and that is my score. I didn't charge the phone at all during this cycle. Conprende?
Monster Battery!!!

With sot is round about 5 hrs 30 mint
While all that my Bluetooth and location is on for mi band 4.

Hard Reset?
What do you think of this percentage taking into account that I have used it in airplane mode, with minimum brightness and saving mode?
is a Hard reset recommended?
Yesterday I got about 7h43m of SoT (100% - 20%) for the whole day. Most of the time I used Facebook/Messenger, web browsing; about 2 hrs of 3D gaming (LLAS, Mirishita) at maximum graphic settings. I turned 4G on all the time, 60 - 100% of brightness.
This morning (4:30 AM to 11:10 AM) I got about 57m of SoT (100% - 91%).
Is my battery life normal? Should I return the phone and exchange for another one?
I'm on MIUI Global 11.0.8 stable.

I have not unlock my BL yet. Flashing via Miflash doesn't work at all. So what should I do to flash the update package manually? I'm used to using TWRP and AOSP before on my Redmi 5+ so I'm not much familiar with MIUI stuffs.
And today after using wifi for the whole day (social media, gaming, etc.), I got about 11h37m of SoT with 14% left. Is this normal?
My phone is a secondhand one so I do really care about its battery.

Sent from my S20 FE 5G
I have same consumption as with my Mi10. Wifi, BT, Gps and 120Hz.
Screen bright in auto, and about 90% time working with 4g (not wifi).
My model is FE 5G (snapdragon).
Almost 7 h of on screen time, and It let about 30% battery.View attachment 5115057

60 Hz no?
Tragedy.... Exynos.... Barely 4 hours of SoT
I'll chime in here. USA unlocked version, so Snapdragon. Everything running stock, except I've switched off 5G. Running at 120hz refresh. I average 6-7 hours of SOT per day. I don't game at all.
Hmm...i got about 7 hrs with some ( not heavy ) games. 120Hz and no 5G ( no chance where i live ).

SnapDragon,
Getting about 5 hours SOT maybe 5.5, standby is pretty great though.
Much better than my s9+ that was about 3 hours SOT and horrible stand by

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 Samsung Galaxy S20 FE before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

S20 FE Exynos
Easy 6. 5 to 7 hours SOT
80% on wifi / 20% on 4G,
120 HZ Always,
35% Brightness,Auto brightness off,
Dark mode, Always on display (always active),
GPS always on,
BT on only when needed occasionally,
moderate to heavy use ( no gaming though) with lots of youtube, whatsapp, FB and callings......
Extremely satisfied .....
Just not satisfied with charging though via out of the box 15w slow charger so got a 25w charger and bingo, issue resolved...
Snapdragon model here...
I'm averaging around 8-9hrs SoT with the following set-up:
Optimized Power Mode
120hz on
40% brightness
Auto Brightness off
Dark Mode always
AoD off
80-90% on WiFi / 10-20% on 4G
5G disabled in settings
BT on when needed (headphones or Xbox controller for xCloud)
All apps set to sleep, restrict background data and notifications turned off other than Gmail, Textra and FB Messenger
Moderate to heavy use (mostly gaming, Chrome, Spotify, Camera and a bit of YouTube)

Snapdragon as well for me.
Initially wasn't amazing (4-5 hours SOT) but after doing the little bixby routines trick to enable medium power mode while maintaining 120hz, this helped a LOT.
120Hz
25-50% brightness
Auto Brightness Off
Dark Mode in all things
Mostly on Wifi
Location Services Off
4g Radio Only
BT here and there with headphones
Greenified most stuff before I realized that there is a window to do this in the battery, so set it there today, but initially greenified
No gaming, mostly daily tasks, browsing, calls.
Charged it again this morning from 9% and at that time had just over 8 hours SOT. Pretty pleased with that
Damn, you guys really kill the entire phone for SOT. lol
120Hz all the time, dark mode too. High performance mode. Wifi on, bt - watch + headphones, gps on - all the time. Adaptive battery on. Hmm...sot over 7 hours. Fine for me

In my case just did it to see how long I could push it.
After charge I set things back to standard, optimized power, location on, etc. Now interested to see the difference. Only just got this phone so still trying to find the best balance for me.

Not really, just no point in turning things on we don't need :good:
Second pass after sleeping more apps and was able to crank our an amazing 10.5 hours SOT over 2.5 days. Mostly reddit, email, web browsing, so pretty lightweight usage overall.. still by far and away the best I've experienced.
I imagine even for gamers and video watchers getting around 7-8 is pretty stellar.
