Screen on time - Xiaomi Mi 9 SE 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 Xiaomi Mi 9 SE before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Hi guys. I am considering buying this phone as I love compact phones for which there are very few options available at the moment.
If the guys who own the device could kindly post the average SOT on daily usage it could be really helpful for people like me to evaluate the device...
Thank you

there you go, sir..
lots of lightroom editing and insta and whatsapp and browsing.
stunning SOT..

I've got the phone since yesterday. Will post my results at the end of the day. Looks promising so far!

Global version? wifi only or mixed with data?

global version 10.2.2.0 - mixed with data.

I'm on 10.2.2 global. Getting around 5.5 hours sot and 23 hours standby with 90% wifi.

Hello guys, here are my results if anyone needs it.
Getting 7 hours of screen on time (13 hours since removed from charger) comfortably with moderate usage, no games, mostly browsing, some YouTube and social apps and making some pictures.
It was 6 hours of mobile data (part of it in metro with bad coverage) and the rest is with wifi.
It seems to be sufficient for a whole days use.
I am satisfied with it.

I am on Global 10.2.5.0 (PFBEUXM), stable
Oh and I forgot, bluetooth was on all along, connected to mi band 3. Not sure how much it affects the battery though

Yeah I had these >7h SOT but most realistic is 5h per 24hours without gaming. My SD625 LCD phone after 2.5years still had a better battery than this one.

Pretty impressive.

The Snapdragon 625 was a legendary CPU battery wise.

Hi, i don't know how you get these SOT.
My SOT, most likely without WiFi, no games even installed. just a few pictures, maps and WhatsApp.
I'm on global stable 10.2.5.0. so far, not impressed nor very satisfied..
Cheers
PS: also tried the tip to change settings to LTE/wcdma only.

My SOT has also been up an down. One day was around 5-6 hours. The next with some bluetooth, GPS, whatsapp, phone calls etc was 2-3 hours. On stable global ROM 10.2.5.0

I buyed MI 9 SE yesterday.
I'm thinking to unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu (have it on my old 4X)
The stable is much worse then weekly? I prefer to not upgrade every week...

No they're essentially the same but weekly has risks of unknown newly introduced bugs. Don't upgrade every week then. I use weekly because at the time I want the latest features and I update like once in a year when there are features that I want to have.

I'm also a power user and I have to say I've gotten 8 hours SOT. When I got this phone I used the daylights out of it. Email social media, YouTube, web and couldn't kill this thing. I agree low light pics aren't good but I do like the camera otherwise. I would have liked to have seen the price around $500 seeing how great the Axon 7 is at $400.

Could you please tell me about the camera lens? I mean to ask about the tiny scratches on the camera lens after usage of a week or two, these scratches are only visible under the light when camera lens is facing the light source. please update about it.
WHY?!
Help me. I am almost sure that my battery drains so much after update to B138 and not physical battery defect. Please convince me. Am I right?

It does, more than B126, but in my experience it will settle after a while. Probably just reindexing for the first couple of days.

HI,
Im struggling to understand how one is able to attain a SOT of even more than 4 hours. Could the signal strength be a factor for SOT?
I dont have bluetooth turned on nor wifi with automatic screen brightness, i barely get passed 3 hours. Heck, i dont even have the facebook app on the phone.
Please enlighten me on how you have managed to get an SOT of 8 hours. Thanks!:cyclops:
Other than the lock screen issue, the other two are just nitpicking, in my opinion.

When I play a movie either on facebook or youtube and receive a phonecall, I can hear very loud in the headset at the same time the caller and the movie sound. It also happens with google maps. Does any of you have this issue?
was hoping this device would drop to 500. I just can't justify 600 for a huawei.

Great video, disagree entirely with battery. This is the first phone EVER, that I do not have to charge before bedtime. Real life use. Everything else including the Samsungs will need a charge early evening at least. This one, never.
I agree about the screen... I'd have liked 2k.

That is so true even in my case. I use my phone like usual and I get 3-4 hours of SOT. Last night I went to bed, it was on 16%, so I put it on charge.
I am surprised when people around me talk about 6-7 hours of SOT. Makes me wonder, if my battery is bad, or perhaps I need to reset my phone and start again.
By the way, this is within a week of buying the mobile. I never saw more than 4 hours before last night.
I must say battery life is great . I am a heavy user too n I do not disable any stuffs except GPS ( enabled it only when needed). My MINIMUM SOT is consistently 9 hours . With greater usage of wi-fi 10-11 hours. Is quite similar to my other mi mix with higher capacity battery. These are similar SOT with Mate7, Mate8.
As comparison these are other SOT on my other phones I had used : s7e 6-7, one plus 3t 5-6, V20 5-6, iPhone 7+ usage 11-12

Camera at low light could improve further, it have some software issues.
If noticed that when battery low, the phone throttles graphics and cpu performance, i hope it will be resolved.
Also typing with swiftkey doesn't feel smooth as with my s7e, it has some delays, sometimes though it works fine.

L29C636B585 Best Nougat version

Like most of you, I have been complaining about excessive battery drain in nougat versions. After trying different roms and going back to Emui 4.0, I came across C636B585. This version have quite a great battery performance (even better than Emui) and the fast charge came back, (it had disappeared in other Nougat versions) finally I have a great battery live in a Nougat version, and the device feels smooth as butter. Definitely worth giving it a try.
I debranded and then got the update using proxy and the firmware finder.
Now if only there was a working way to get it on AL10C00
would love to try it
@juanq214, do you know how can I move from cm-13 custom ROM (lineage os) to L29C636B585? I don't want to brick my device so would like to avoid trial and error methods. Any help / links much appreciated.
IS it better than al10 b589? ^^
I have this version and did factory reset etc. I still think the battery is poor in comparison to pretty much any Marshmallow rom. Max SOT I get is 6-7 hours, but it's random sometimes I get less than 5. With MM I'd typically get around 9-10 SOT.

thats the 50.000 dollar question here im betting B589 has the same base, if not newer, so debranding an AL10 to L29C636 just to try this rom wouldnt make much sense in my eyes
guys, i will tell you this one more time: depending on the apps ure running, the sensors u leave switched on (BT, GPS, Wifi, etc) especially when not in active use, screen brightness, standby time, number of calls made, data type (2G/3G/4G), etc your SOT values will differ by A LOT even on the exact same firmware and configuration!!!
example: on days when im at home / permanently connected to a wifi (all other sensors and mobile data switched off), i usually get around 9-11h SOT.
however, when im on the move with mobile data switched on (3G), using GPS for navigation and making calls, then my SOT tanks to around 6-7h. thats both on the same firmware with same settings, same apps installed etc.
so, if you REALLY want to compare battery life between firmwares objectively, ull have to do the following:
install firmware, leave it stock, dont change any settings, switch on wifi, BT, gps, mobile data, make sure the screen stays switched on at a defined brightness level (not automatic but static) and make sure u dont get any calls or messages, otherwise that would again change the battery life.
do that for every single firmware and u got urself an objective comparison of SOT values
personally, no matter which firmware i was on so far, i always got more or less identical SOT runtimes: around 9-12h on less intensive days and 6-8h on more intensive days. thats it, and it hasnt changed going from B112 to B357 to B575

Well, in my case I have had 5 different Mate 8 devices, so I am quite familiar with this device. Like the previous comment points it out, it is quite difficult to make an objective comparison between different filmwares. However you know your device and you can tell when it is consuming more battery than I should. Before this version, I was running L29C432B585, and you could see the battery draining in from of your eyes as you used the decide, it was just unusual.
I am a heavy user, (Bluetooth for my smartwatch, GPS when driving, wifi modem, switched to 4g often, etc) and still can make it to the end of the afternoon in a normal day without charging. That's fair enough for me. Also you must take into account how old your device is, and batteries get older, they lose mha capacity.

Can confirm this. I have no problem getting over 10h SOT when one wifi. This phone is very efficient when not on mobile data.
Huawei radio sucks a lot. You can see how the phone gets hot with intensive Internet use on mobile data while it stays cool when you do the same on wifi.
I'm wondering why all these updates get sent out to some, but not to all Mate8 users?

depends on your cust (internal regional code) and im guessing they send out the updates in waves to check to real life applicability (no bugs, stable, etc)
also, lots of people here just update manually via firmware finder or dload method
i for one am planning to update to kangvip B589 once im back home from holidays

Not that I'm aware of.
Sadly the battery drain came back... From yesterday afternoon the battery has been draining at an unusual fast pace, strangely the fast charging feature is also gone.
So it seems it's something that comes and goes. Since I flashed this rom, I had used the phone for about 1 week without battery issues. I wonder what triggers this behavior In the device? Yesterday y didn't do any unusual stuff apart from installing a couple of apps.
I'll have to end up selling my device and sticking to a different brand. Definitely Huawei produces great phones with really poor support and almost no development. I'll keep you posted.

the support is actually great for the mate 8. here some statistics: from october 30th, 2015 up to the most recent firmwares from july 21st, 2017, a total of 595(!!!) full firmwares and OTA updates have been published on huawei servers for all variants of the mate 8. that time span is equivalent to 630 days, so we have 630/595 equals
one firmware published every 1.06 days or 25.4 hours on average!!!
could anyone call that bad support?
besides, this battery drain issue some users face here sounds VERY much like a settings / installed apps problem to me, especially since it just "appears" suddenly when "a couple of apps" are installed, very curious indeed

It doesn't make any sense to release updates if they come with lots of bugs and you have to wait for a miracle to receive Ota or push it yourself by debranding or other methods. I wish they released a stable Nougat version.
Regarding the apps installed, it's just impossible that common apps such as Twitter or xda app could increase battery consumption that much. I have had more than 4 different Mate 8 devices so I kinda know the device well and for sure this battery drain has to do with the rom.

How to downgrade my firmware?
I have an original L29C636 on B585, I want to "downgrade" back to a previous ROM, anything before B585, I couldn't find a way to do it, please help
two of my friends also having a stock L29C636 and they both said after updaing to B585, they have 20% less battery and phone freezes for a sec here and there sometimes. So they are just normal users and they use the same app, same way, so there might really be some battery drain issue here.
Thanks

With the latest EU rom (8.4.12), I got around 8.5 hours to do the web surfing through wifi (no video, audio) with the auto brightness about 50%.
Hope it helps.
I lost about 1% battery for every 5.3-5.6 minutes to be precised.

If you use it all the time you get 5-7h SOT easily, however if you don't use it much you get around 4h because (at least for me) there's always some drain on latest china rom. I have to wait until the bootloader is unlocked to test it with xiaomi.eu or global rom

Try rolling back to 8.4.12, I've heard it's much more polished overall.
BTW, battery life on official Xiaomi Global ROM is beyond fantastic, I'm straight shocked.

Hi, anyone using the global edition, where the unit is not pre-flashed by vendors? just wondering how the battery life is compared to the mix 2, oneplus 6 and p20 pro.
GSM arena currently shows the mix 2s as having really bad battery endurance. but im assuming that was the china rom. Anyone can validate?
You seen the screenshots above your post?
First cycle.. very good. hopefully it will be better. Coming from huawei mate 10 to oneplus 5t to mi mix 2s. Love ips lcd display.
Battery has been great, not much of a mobile gamer so i believe i'm a moderate user. So far between 8 to 9 hours of sot in 35 to 40 hours cycles.

Same here, but I've never got more than 6h SOT with 24h usage
I don't game much, the heaviest use i gave it was the camera. No NFC, bluetooth or gps. Just regular use,like 2 to 3 hours of YouTube, Facebook, watching movie or anime and lots of web browsing get me 8 hours at least on every charge.
Hi, I've had my Mi Mix 2s for a couple months now. I have the 256gb variant, still rocking the chinese rom. Max screen on time I get with the phone is 3 and a half/ 4 hours.
Judging from other people's reviews thats much lower than average. So I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to try improve it? Does the global rom help improve it?
I'm with Global rom miui 10 beta and battery is bad I get max 5h of use and even before with miui 9 it was not great also. Great phone all good except the battery at least for me coming from OnePlus 5 and 5t.
How is the battery lately, in the most recent updates?

That's fake news joanjoan. Who told you that?? Huawei Honor Note 10 Fully supports LTE in Europe. Because no Global ROM doesn't means no LTE support in Europe!!!

Oh so it doesn't support lte in europe?
Okay that's unfortunately a deal breaker for me. So the mi max 3 will probably be my choice
Thank you for the reply

It will work in Europe with Lte,only Lte Band 20 (800MHz) is not on Board.On that Regions use Hspa.In all cities Lte works without problems with Band 3 and 7.

okay good to know. Thank you for the info!
i'm still not sure whether lack of band 20 is deal breaker for me. I live in a small city and B20 is very probably what's used here.
it's weird that the cheaper Max 3 has it and this beast doesn't
How are you satisfied in general? with camera and battery life? is the super night mode available on it? (the one that was advertised with p20 pro, if you know what i mean)

yeah i know. i didn't mean because of the global rom. I just meant i didn't know it doesn't support B20. i checked the specs after he told me and found it out.
Hi,
Have the phone for some days now.
Love it and I think that everything about it is simply amazing... Except one thing : battery life.
The stand by drain is stellar. 100% after 6 hours. Can't be better. And that with Display always on turned on !!!
But as soon as display is active and some slightly more demanding apps are running, battery is melting like snowflakes in summer in Florida !
I'd say under these circumstances SoT will be about 9 or 10 hours... Which is what I'd expect from a 4k or 4k2 battery but not a 5000mAh...
It's not bad really, just a little disappointing ???
EDIT : I confirm that battery life is a real disappointment ! I think with medium use you can't get more than 7/8 hours SoT...
This is to be expected from a phone with 4k mAh battery but I hoped for at least 11 hours from a phone with 5k mAh battery
I guess this will not stay and will be replaced with something else probably a Xiaomi mi max 3 : less performance but people reporting up to 17 hours SoT !
And at least some development and living forum... This seems simply dead

I thought I am the only one with this issue...With auto brightness turned on, it's showing that the estimated battery life left is 2 days 20 hours left after a full charge...Also it's taking like 5+ hours to charge the battery to 100% using the stock charger & cable...I saw battery charging tests on YT & I saw people easily managing to fully charge it in about 1:50 hours so I don't know wth is happening in my handset...Mine is completely new, just a few days old...Can be a firmware issue too...I will wait for the next firmware update & see...
Hi,
Good luck...
As far as I am concerned, I have given up the Honor Note 10. Here are the reasons why :
- zero support from manufacturer... a firmware update every 3 months, but probably none anymore after the third or fourth update ;
- Honor's stupid policy about not allowing to unlock the phone ;
- the result : zero developer interest for this device ;
- dead XDA forum (last post except yours was like 52 hours ago) ;
- people in this channel only supporting EMUI and discouraging any attempt to install anything else on the device...
So I switched to the XCiaomi mi Max 3.
Of course, not the same powerhorse as it only has SD 636, but that is enough for my needs...
And easily unlocked ; Xiaomi releasing a new ROM (beta or stable) every week/month ; devs working to port LAOS to it ; nice people in the XDA forum...
So despite this all, if anyone is interested in buying a Honor Note 10 8/128, I'm selling it
Regards.

Can you please confirm after you charge it fully to 100% & you are unplugging the charger, what is the estimated battery life left is showing in your handset ?? A screenshot from your battery section would have been nice after you charge your phone to 100%...Thank You...

Make sure you do a factory reset & set the Pie from Scratch like a new phone...If you have installed it over Oreo without a factory reset, the performance may not be that smooth as some left-over files from Oreo may slow-down your system...Doing a factory reset will improve your battery run time...Mine did...
Before making factory reset, don't forget to do a full system backup using HiSuite...

I bought the Huawei supercharge brick 5v4,5a/4,5v5a and i can get full charge in less than 2hours but the inbox charger is really slow since it's not supercharge but standard 18w quickcharge!

I got the Supercharger in the box when I imported it from China but because of some Firmware issues, I was not getting the Supercharging speed...At first I thought maybe the charger is bad or slow but then I checked it & it was indeed a Supercharger with 5A...Then I thought maybe my Type C cable is bad...I kept trying & trying but was not being able to get SuperCharging out of it...I was also about the buy a spare SuperCharger but the last official 165 Oreo FW solved my issue automatically...Now my stock charger also completes the charge within 2 hours...And shows SuperCharging always, when I plug my phone to the stock charger...
Using the Ampere app from Playstore, I checked the charging amp & it still varies between 2800-3300 Amp though...I may buy the Spare SuperCharger later just to check if I can get 4000-4500+ Amp charging speed which atleast I should be getting from a 5A charger but since the current charger is doing it's job under 2 hours, I am not much bothered about buying another charger...Maybe later...

Screen on time

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 30 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
So let me be the first to write here . I am currently at 5:40 h SoT, 21 hours standby aaaand....52% left. Unbelievable. I come from Note 10 Plus, great phone, but that battery...just cant keep up..
Google services installed, 4G version, in Europe.

I am using note 10plus now before that is p 30 pro. Only one thing keep me want to switch to mate 30 pro is brattery.
So you are happy switch to from note 10 plus to mate 30 pro so far?:victory:
Well...photos are better definitely, battery doesnt evwn compare, but... Note 10 plus is evenly smooth, because all are "legal" and in place. Meaning that Google is there from the start, on the Mate you kinda have to make a Frankenstein, from pieces. Some things dont work and so on. It has innovation, like Huawei acustomed us with every phone. There are little things that you will miss if you make the switch, I dont know, like for instance swap left or right on a Contact to call or send sms. You know what I mean?
For me, SOT destroys all previous Huawei phones I've owned, including the P30P and M20P. 6 hour screen ontime = still 60% left even though it's not set to max/75% brightness...
The new 7nm+ CPU, bigger battery and maybe even Android 10's software optimizations just makes this (at the time of this post!) the most energy efficient and powerful Huawei phone to date.

No no , I mean you know, when you are on a contact on samsung, and you can swipe right or left for different actions. Those little trick you wont find on the Mate. For instance I miss all those. The little bubbles with Sms or Wtp notifications that appear over the other apps, and so on.

Soon as they can get GMS and a legit UK model with 512, I'll be selling my 1tb S10+ for a m30p. Only thing I'll miss is the mst part of Samsung pay.

Yes, GMS installed; for me its unusually good, because I know that I use my phones the same way. So this is double the Note10Plus for instance. I used it to watch videos a lot, some Youtube, some G Maps, some phone calls (not very much), I dont remember everything unfortunately, wifi or data on. I will post the detailed usage page as well next time.
I thought I'm hard user but I changed my mind after few photos I saw here ?
I totally agree that this mate 30 pro is the most energy efficient and powerful phone to date.
