8 hours 30 minutes, not bad. And it seems like this is on 90hz.

While I don't believe you would get that amount of SOT over a prolonged period, it does point out that raw mah isn't everything.
I agree it won't get that much in real life. I am curious however how the SOT will be for people that will not use the radar, no AOD and possibly even no face unlock, stay on 60hz and just want a great camera, good speed and latest assistant and have the best Google ecosystem experience. I am that kind of user.
I looked at the 3axl but it is noticeably slow and I need a fast phone for different work needs.

no doubt, those conditions that you just stated should save a substantial amount of battery life. My 6T is 3700mah and I get around 6-8hrs sot(depending on usage) no reason to think the pixel can't achieve that with superior software.
Got the phone yesterday, charged all the way up before turning on at about 5pm. Went to bed about midnight. Galaxy S2 watch connected around 7 pm. Did setup, some netflix, and typical messing around with a new phone. Didn't screen shot it, but when I was going to bed last night, I had 4h03M SOT with 47% left. I don't expect it to translate to 7hrs or anything, but it seems better than my previous Note 9 and S8+.

Roger that on the N9! My wife's N9 looses a minimum of 10% overnight at idle. Shoot, my Chevy suburban with 6 people going uphill at 75mph gets better mileage! ???
I got the phone yesterday and charged it too 100% and my screen on time was 6hrs 5 Mon with 9% left. I don't get why the negative battery comments and reviews so far. 6 hours is more than enough.
First cycle with dynamic 90hz no point of forcing always to 90hz. Most social media apps. Tg and duo suck a lot of battery.

Lol ? it was alright when they were on data and it improved when connected to WiFi
The battery is not that bad... here are my screenshots. I am not a gaming person but I usually was surfing the internet, Facebook, etc... and use message app and did use the camera. I turned motion sense off since I am Deaf so I can't hear the music and my hands are getting tired from wave and wave.
sorry for bad grammar.
Good. Maybe the haters will STFU now
Got my 4XL yesterday and it was at 60% out of the box. I used it like normal and with more than 3hr 30min of screen on-time it was at 24%. I don't think it will be that bad.
2nd cycle I guess since it's under 75% it was at 60hz didn't notice any difference screen still very smooth.

I believe they meant the screen brightness was under 75%. When it is, the screen only runs at 60hz.
So I've had the Pixel 4 XL , for 3 full days in the UK now.
Day 1 SOT was 6 hrs 3 mins with 9% left
Day 2 SOT was 6 hrs 15 min with 4 % left
Day 3 SOT is 5 hrs 1 min with 18% left.
The battery is more than adequate. I had the 3 XL which would get a max of just over 4 hours. I'm new.to the forum but I have screenshots as well but don't have a clue how to upload lol. The phone is on 90hz at all times too But most times you can't really tell. It's an amazing phone so fast, the disappointment is video quality again and some of the pic quality is similar levels to 3 XL but I need to fully utilise the camera.
I got similar SOT with 6 hr 12 min and 9% battery left. This with using "force" 90hz , 87% brightness , and always on display (thought it was not always on!). Battery is more than adequate for my usage.

I did buy one..... waiting but I hope the battery life is going to be excellent.
The size of the battery is not huge and even though they say excellent battery life Google does not give you stats.
Screen on "50%" how long....
Can you wake up 6am set the phone in charger at midnight and still have battery?
Me I typically play a game, use my language learning programs a few hours a day.
Check maybe 20 emails, and 20 text messages.
Location services and bluetooth are always on. (need them for Play services and Android Wear)
And I believe and I hope the device proves me wrong but if I know it will be a long time between charges I will need to modify usage.
Is the type of usage I go through unreasonable ?
Yet all they say is you can get 7 hours of usage (what type of usage?) in 15 minutes.
So you are in the airports all day the battery is at 20% and you need to have the charger with you and find an outlet.
1) do not always have the charger handy
2) can not always find A/C
Does anybody really expect better battery life than with other phones ?
I am wrong Google did post some stats
3,450 mAh battery
Standby time (LTE): up to 23 days
Talk time (3g/WCDMA): up to 32 hours
Internet use time (Wi-Fi): up to 14 hours
Internet use time (LTE): up to 14 hours
Video playback: up to 14 hours
Audio playback (via headset): up to 130 hours
I should have no problem going through a long day moderate usage if this is correct.

They stated similar stats when they released the 6P (the shop page was deleted so I can't paste them) and I got one....
Best screen-on-time I can get is 5 hours (with custom rom, custom kernel and a lot of system tweaks).
Don't rely on those stats, they were (in the best case) made under ideal conditions (probably in a lab) or (and that's rather the case) just calculated and without promise....
I am somewhat underwhelmed with the 6P battery life, but I'm stock as I can't root per company policies.
Hoping the Pixel XL will be better. Or at least same... If it is worse, then it will be going back in the 14 day return window.

Potentially we're looking at better stats.
Same size battery in a smaller body with a smaller screen and Supposed CPU optimisations, could explain the underclock.
My 6p makes it through the day without a charge, but I'm never far from an outlet, car charger or power bank just in case. Now that I've USB C proofed my home and office the rapid charging serves its purpose.
We've all seen the garbage spouted about days of battery life before and usage varies so much per user it's hard to compare. As they say the proof is in the pudding so we'll soon see, the price definitely isn't going up so why not wait and see?

Why not rely on Google's internal battery life tests?
They did the same for the 6P, so they can be compared.
All that matters in the end is how it really works for you, also stats are always overly optimistic. You buy a car an the dealer says the car is rated 5 litres per 100 km and every time the best your car does is 7 litres per 100km
What I had to do in the past is when I know I will be travelling without easy access to a charger is ration battery usage.
The stats though are encouraging hopefully and only time will tell is my next device I will not have to ration too much.
I really miss removable batteries remember the carefree way I used devices in the past with huge Zerolemon batteries. They will like sell a case for the Pixel XL but a case that adds battery capacity is not as elegant as just using a bigger battery.
The reviews on the battery life seem pretty terrible so far and is really worrying me as it was my only concern. I have been rocking a Hauwei Mate 8 recently, which I consistently get around 7 hr SOT. Reviews for Pixel XL are coming out at 3.5-4 hr, which is not good for how big it is. It has only a slightly smaller battery than the S7 Edge, but the Edge performs much better, I was getting 5-5 .5 hr SOT with my Edge before switching to Mate 8. Google Assistant always being present and doing stuff may be a pretty severe drain. Just as someone else mentioned, nice that we have a 15 day return window.

3-4 hours SOT sucks. Im getting 6 hours on 6p and 5 on Nexus 6
SOT is dependent on multiple factors, like what apps are running in background and what you do on the phone. Web browsing habits of sites visited, some sites have a lot going on.

Where are you seeing these 3.5-4 hr SOT reviews??
Many of the reviews that came out yesterday gave the Pixel highly positive ratings on battery. MKBHD said he got 6hrs SOT on full brightness, Dieter at the Verge said it might be the best battery life of any phone he'd ever used. Wired and a couple others also noted it as a high point. But then Mossberg said the smaller Pixel got so-so battery, and I think one of the Android Authority guys also called it average.
So... it sounds like basically any other Android phone. Varies highly for different people.

Pretty sure the AA review, he was getting 3.5-4 hours for battery life and called it good/above average, which is not. I remember his specifically because that is where I got the idea that google assistant could be having a large impact if used heavily, which he said he was using heavily. I don't remember MKBHD saying 6 hours but I would have to go rewatch. I know I saw at least 2 reviews that said 3.5-4 ish and they both called it good. Which makes me worry that all the other reviews that called it good without giving specific numbers were under this same impression. I watched a crap ton of reviews, many didn't give specific stats. They must be comparing it to htc10, lg g5 and iphone to consider that good, leaving samsung as the only outstanding if they are considering that anywhere near good.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the first charge out of the box but that is still not a good indication. No bueno. Guess I have two weeks to try it out.
I'm at 90% right now with 56 min screen on time. Just reading the news/web browsing. On wifi.
I'm happy.

That's what I have been wanting to hear! Would you be willing to post some screen shots of your battery life, etc before you plug her in tonight. How heavily have you been using the new assistant? have you done anything to customize your settings like turn off always listening or anything like that, adaptive screen brightness, etc?
MKBHD on Twitter
I got mine yesterday at 5pm, Used it straight, setting it up with everything turned on and screen @ %100 (setup, music, movies, games) and it died after 5.5 hours. It was also on 86% charge when i got it.

Right now, no tweaks everything turned on (assistant, always listening, Bluetooth, wifi).
Mostly web browsing. 15 minutes or so of Clash Royale. On wifi most of the day. Auto brightness.
Looks like about 6h SOT if I took it to empty.

No complains
In almost every review I saw/read of this phone I hear the reviewer complaining about the battery being worse than expected. In my experience with this phone and S8 before, SOT will slowly get better and after a couple of weeks, it will be at its best. I don't understand why this isn't noticed by those reviewers.
After about 10 days of use, I was surprised by almost 10 hours of SOT, just browsing and reading.

Amazing Battery Life!
Galaxy A50 Pro
To be honest, I bought this phone mostly because of it's screen on time! I usually get 7-8 hours SOT which I think is great! My LG G6 was a great phone, everything was awesome except the battery life! I would get 4-4.5 hours of screen on time, which was not enough! That's the reason I opted for Galaxy A50! 8 hours SOT with Super Amoled display was the sole reason!
[Galaxy A50] I use mobile data when I'm out of home, GPS is always on with the highest accuracy setting, manual brightness 40%-60%, always on display, AdGuard app, internet speed meter app running all the time! Most of time I use Chrome, Youtube, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and some other apps.
Galaxy A50 Cons
There's few things that are terrible like Cellular Signal Strength is very poor comparing my other phones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and LG G6! Mobile data really sucks! On screen fingerprint is way too slow! Even won't recognize always if you don't place your finger in the exact place of the screen! Oh man! It has been a real pain in the ass for me! I would like to get back my physical rear fingerprint from my previous phones! They are so fast and this on screen fingerprint is just crap!
Sometimes Wifi would stop working and you would probably scratch your head to figure out whats wrong! After diagnosing your router and internet connection, you would be so pissed to know that everything was just fine! Now you would reboot the phone! Bang! Wifi works again! :laugh:

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.

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

90hz on or off? If 90hz was on was it forced in developer options?
Dark mode on?
8 hours SOT could be really good or really bad.

Any more details?
Total time off the charger? - 25 hours. This is my first charge cycle
Brightness? - adaptive but mainly around 50%
Apps used? - Camera (45mins), few hours of YouTube, less than hour of games, quite a bit of time downloading and setting up apps. Twitter, web browsing. Bit of GPS on dog walk to test it.
Wifi or mobile data? If mobile was it on 5G? Indoors most of day on very poor 4G and good WiFi. Couple of hours our walking with 4G. No 5G here.
Media use like streaming video or music? Few hours YouTube. 4 or 5 hours of Spotify
Using Bluetooth? Yes quite a bit of the day (pixel buds)
Any games? Less than an hour, word games and an idle game, nothing taxing
GPS? - probably 20mins on a walk to test
90hz on or off? If 90hz was on was it forced in developer options? Dev options on but only to change animations to 0.5x. 90hz used all day.
Dark mode on? Yes
8 hours SOT could be really good or really bad.

Thanks for all the details. For one question I might not have been clear. I didn't mean if you had developer options at all. I meant if you had the "force 90hz" enabled and if you had the smooth display option enabled in display options.

Force 90hz is off in dev options
Smooth display (90hz) is on in display settings
I got the phone a little prior to noon yesterday and spent my free time yesterday getting it set up and settled in, logged into all apps etc.
I took the phone off charge at 100% last night at around 9:45pm. Overnight idle over 11 hours until this morning was 3% with 2 minutes screen on in that time. I'm now 14 hours off charge with 81% battery remaining and 2 hours 6 minutes SOT.
Usage:
Indoor on 4g (poor reception) and wifi (moderate to good reception)
Bluetooth for about 20 minutes this morning
Brightness low
Apps: Telegram, Whatsapp, Slack and a little YouTube Music and Spotify for the music
Ive also been doing some app opening time testing (just visual beteen Pixel 5 and OP7Pro)
Overall this is pretty light usage and almost considered a best case scenario but the battery life seems like it is going to be really good if this holds up over a full drain.
1st full day on mobile 4G. The phone passed 6 hours SOT of heavy use of YouTube, YouTube music videos and browsing around 50% brightness with 15% battery left, so could have pushed close to 7 hours SOT!
Steam media thought Bluetooth, and smooth display is set to on. No dark mode.
My Pixel 4 will not last more than 4 hours, and my Note 10 will be dead around 5:30 hours mark with same usage.
So very impressed with Pixel 5 battery life.

Thanks. It's good to hear some real world battery life. Reviews are just rushing over it. Results will vary but based on what you are getting and your usage I'm optimistic that my battery life will be pretty good. I wish I didn't have to wait until the end of the month.
Quite a heavy day for me, note I had the pixel buds hooked up for a long time too
quick observations now after the first night charging it full.
I went grocery shopping this morning and was away for about 70 minutes. I used Waze navigation for approx 30 minutes in total. When I got home the battery was on 93%.
I recharged it to 100%
I'm using it now for 20 minutes (WiFi, Auto screen brightness). Messaging in Telegram and WhatsApp, reading some news in the Google Feed etc. And I'm still at 100%
Actually while writing this it's 25 minutes screen-on-time and still at 100%.
Edit: now trying to drain the battery with watching Netflix... will get back soon.
Could this be a bug?? My Pixel 3 usually would be already down to 95% now

It certainly could be a bug. I had a similar issue when I first got my Pixel 2 XL. I remember fully charging it right before I went to bed. With 8 hours of being idle over night and like 30+ minutes use in the morning it was still at 100%. I rebooted the phone and it was like 96%. I think it was fixed in the first update I got after getting the phone.

Actually I'm at 8h44m SOT and have 14% battery left now. I watched a movie streaming from my NAS, streamed music with bluetooth, listened to music on the phone, made a video call, took some photos and videos, played some games, watched Netflix etc...
btw: the battery went down to 99% after 35 minutes.
Second day of me using my pixel 5. 90hz adaptive on, adaptive brightness on, 4g for 30 minutes and 3 hours or so with location on. And 25minutes Bluetooth on.

It could still be a bug (or maybe on purpose) that causes the battery percentage indicator to be inaccurate at higher charges. Losing 1% in 35 minutes of use should mean that continuing to use the phone in the same way should last 3500 minutes which is obviously not true since that is 58 hours. Any kind of sustained use wouldn't even get you a quarter of that.
Based on the actual use you have over almost a full charge it does seem to be very good battery life.
Once I get mine (not shipping until October 30th in the USA) my first test will be to do a test with light tasks(browsing, Facebook, texting, etc) with dark mode off and 90hz mode off so I can compare to a screenshot I have from when I first got my Pixel 2 XL.

90hz on or off? If on forced or dynamic?
Any time spent on mobile data? If yes was it 5G?
What brightness level?

90HZ on with dynamic, spent around 30 minutes on 4G and 3 hours on location on as I don't have 5G in my area yet. Brightness level is just on adaptive brightness.
Amazing battery life from full charge to 1 percent
Charged this phone fully after getting it initially, then used it till 1 percent, including not charging it overnight at around 80 percent ( I think). I listened to a fair bit of YouTube, Spotify, with bluetooth headphones, and used web browsing and gaming quite a bit (mostly light gaming, idle games). Very impressed
