Hey folks,
I just want to say I an extremely surprised of the battery life of the phone, before the update I had great battery life, after the update I have amazing battery life... Even before the update I have no clue why journalists and tech sites and YouTubers bashed the battery life of this phone, it's more than good...
How is your battery life compared to your usage? Before and after the update?
Easy 5-6 hours SOT on dual SIM with LTE and some camera snaps here and there.
On oreo it was about 4-5 hours max

While I love the battery life on this phone, the weak part of the phone is the camera's battery drainage. It drains 1% a minute and compared to other phones I have used (normally 2.5-3 PM) this is waaay too high! anyway to help the battery life stay with the camera?

I have always rooted my phones but so far I haven't rooted my S7 Edge yet. However, the battery life sucks but after reading some comments on here it seems that people who root are getting no better or worse battery life. I was just looking for some feedback from people that have rooted to see what the majority response is. I've been contemplating doing this now for several days.
Thanks.
I've been contemplating about trying root again too, and that's after being on the U firmware. I'm now suffering battery life by only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%, unlike at the beginning I could get up to 3 hours by 50%.
When I was on root though, that's how bad I suffered, only getting 2 hours of SOT by 50%. My Xperia Z3v is abandoned on support, but could still achieve better battery life being only on Lollipop. C'mon Samsung...

When i rooted my battery life dropped from 2 days to under a day before dying.
I am barely even getting that. I am at 59% right now with 37 minutes SOT and off the battery for 8 hours and 26 minutes. When I check app usage, the only thing that is high is the Android System at 39% and the Kernel at 10.7%. I can't figure out what kills my battery. I am on WiFi most of the time while at work or at home. BT is off as well.
On root you are using the engineering bootloader so the battery life is bad. You are better off using stock U. It runs smooth and battery life is not bad, plus you can get OTA updates.
U is a great FW so far. Battery life for me, with about 4 hours of SOT got me to about 50% at 530pm and I was off the charger at 7am.
Hey.
I just recieved notification for new update 1.3gb large. Nougat of course.
But I am not sure i want to update. I heard it really destroys your battery life. And well even on android marshmallow I don't have a very good battery life. So what would you advise me? Do i update or not? And if not. How the hell do I remove the update notification?
And if you could tell me how my battery life is. I think it's not that good compared to other people who calim to get 6-7 hrs SOT with 20% left.
Thanks.
Do it, don't look back ?? I kept switching back and forth myself, and now I just can't go back to old mm, nougat is just too much better
Well i guess i will have to. Since i tried everything to rempve the update notification but i just cant and it annoys me.
Did it decrease your battery life? And is my battery life good? Any ideas how to get up to 6 or 7 hrs like some people?
I did not update because I was afraid the battery life would decrease. In the test at Phonearena.com, the battery life was reduced by 10%.
that depends a lot on apps you have.
I've charged it over night, got up in the morning, played net and some ppsspp for about 3h and it went 38%, still over half battery. On MM it would go a lot faster.
key word is facebook uninstall and see for yourself.
Nougat has bad battery but too many good features.i get around 5-6 hrs sot with nougat
Got my XA1 Ultra a couple of days ago. Battery life is surprisingly good. This must be one of the most energy efficient phones out there. 2700mAh sounds really small but the phone still gave me 6h SOT over 2 full days. Standby-drain is very good, it only dropped 3 percent over 10 hours with LTE, wifi and sync on.
For potential buyers: No need to worry about the small battery in XA1 Ultra, Helio P20 is super efficient, perhaps even more efficient than Snapdragon 625.
Great info thank you, I personally think the battery life is great too. For such a big phone you'd imagine or think slightly it will drain badly but that isn't the case as of yet.
Really do love this phone ?
Sent from my Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra using XDA Labs
I am a very heavy user and I find this phone easily gets me through the work day, and I never feel the need to run for a charger. This is mostly on 4g, without wifi and playing some games, and browsing Facebook or xda, as well as calls or texts. And I'm almost always running with full brightness with intermittent GPS use.

Agreed, same here. I get 2-3 days battery life and 5 to 6 hours SOT.
Awesome battery life..
Battery life on this phone has been nothing but amazing for stock rom and no tweaks.

Yes. It is truly remarkable. Both very good SOT and low standby drain. It feels like the battery is 4000mAh rather than 2700mAh. Performance is also good. People often complain over mediatek but P20 seems like a great midrange-chip.
Best SOT I got in a 24 hour period was 7 hours and 15 mins with 10% remaining battery, amazing in my opinion...
This is mine
I dont know even myself how I got so much
Couse the brightness was max
Anyway look at pics
Post your battery life at full charge
24hours 45min, 5hours light, 18hours idle
What is your battery life?
There is a dedicated battery life thread

Ok thanks I've been on accu battery and it says I get 24hous sleep 5hours with light and 18hours idle I thought there was something up with my battery life so I wanted to know other people's benchmarks. 5 hours didn't seem like much to me...
hello
is it bad?
