Screen on time - Redmi Note 9 Pro Max 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 Redmi Note 9 Pro Max before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to 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!

Bought it for my wife, and she is using over 10hrs SOT with moderate usage (calling, FB, WhatsApp, YouTube). Charging alternate day after reaching down to ~10%. Battery life (and fast charging) is the most likeable feature of this phone.

Use it all day in quarantine, easily lasts me through the day with heavy usage

Not too amazing, Oneplus 5T I had before this had the same SOT, same usage. I blame MIUI, can't wait to get ROMs, ports, etc. I'm here for a long time.
In the 336hr period to unlock bootloader, will try Xaiomi Eu and report it's SOT as well.

This is the best SoT I have gotten till now. Phone is running MIUI 11.0.4 debloated. It is by far the best battery life one can dream of.

How did you debloat? Is it xaiomi eu ROM?
Please give us a guide to achieve better battery life

My SOT on Xiaomi Eu Rom, fastboot installed, magisk rooted, encrypted, pitch black recovery.
Pretty much the same story, all that debloat still didn't help, it introduced more bugs and stutters actually. Camera says 60fps, but has stutters in the video and UI. Overall, wouldn't recommend. Better off just hiding the bloat and using the phone like I did prior to Xiaomi eu ROM.

WHich apps and feature were you debloated. Tell me...

SOT can be stretched till 10 hours on this phone.
i used this phone for mira cast for a movie around 3.5 hours and battery drain was from 71% to 28%.
I can easily score 6 hours of SOT from this device. ( wifi always On , Data On when wifi not available , GPS On , 50% Brigtness ).
Since it's a 1080p IPS panel, I think you could probably get around 5-6 hours screen on time with the Honor 6X.

If you don't use your device that often for gaming or as a media player, you will get more screen on time with it. I am impressed that you managed 10 hours of screen on time with the Honor 6x!

You should be able to get over 6 hours screen on time with a FHD display pretty easily and if it was an AMOLED display it would be much easier.
I just scored over 7 hours on 29 hours of battery life. Best I've ever seen for a non rooted device. I'm hard pressed on my decision to keep this phone. I'm not concerned with development, so that's not a factor. Im searching for unlocked phones for at or around $400 to replace my LG v20 and my wife's note 5. So far I'm happy with it. I only wish the screen had a bit more pop to it. My v20 is also LCD, but the colors seem abit more alive. I played with the mate 9 at best buy the other day and that screen seemed amazing for an LCD. Considering the size of the battery in that phone plus Nougat, and the changes in emui5, I'm almost leaning that way, then it blows my whole point of looking for a budget minded flagship specced phone.

This is the highest I achieved so far.If you are away from power source for a long time you may need to try this.I used power saver in l speed mode+ reduced resolution+set cpu governer to powersave. There was no much lag,may be because of reduced resolution.I used data all time,mainly whatsapp and browsing,tethered for some time,and watched videos .I think it may be possible to extend time further if you really need.please try and report.

Can any of the device owners share their experience so far with it?
I'm on xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 open beta so battery life can be better when it's stable. Buts it's pretty decent right now I'm happy with it.
15 percent per hour if display is on. If display off than 0.5 percent.
On my usage I get two days.
Battery life is a good surprise, I'm using xiaomi eu
My MI 8 can reach upto 7h30 on-screen time, how about you #5 and #n?
The battery is what I was looking for in a smartphone. Constantly using it (web browsing, facebooking, gaming, youtubing, etc.) for a day, it could last around 8hrs or more, playing games heavily it could drop to 6hrs. I have been using the phone for around 2hrs per day, and it could last up to 3 days. Ah, I have Always-On enabled. My rom is still China, waiting for bypass time to unlock it.
How do you get that SOT? I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.30 and max I get is 5 hours

So you are on miui 10 beta, i am still on miui 9.6.7, i hope it is not the issue. I put most of my apps to "not running in background", some are set with no restriction. But the system still kills all apps once in a while, i am new to xiaomi phone so I still dont know if this can be disabled or not. I have not installed all of my daily drive apps because I want to unlock the bootloader and flash global rom first, i also hope this is not the issue
My normal standby drain is about 12hrs for 10%. Oh, I do go battery settings to solve any detected issues when I am on break. I also hide the notch.
Battery life is solid, running china dev and i get 2 days with total ot 5+ hours SOT. For a non stop use indoor i can go 8+ hours
xiaomi.eu ROM (up to 8.8.30) drains battery fast, 15-20% per hour with screen on, = maximum of 4.5-5h SOT. With global stable or global beta ROM getting around 8-8.5h SOT, 10-15% during usage.
Yesterday i bought the phone, fully charged and at 25% i got 7h+ screen on time.. which is completely amazing!! Global stable 9.6 here..
You can easily get over 7 hours of SOT, and more than 30 hours on one charge.

What do you expect when the device is sitting around and not being used? In real life, which means USING the device for a couple of hours per day, it is more like two to three days, with (on my device) screen-on-time of more than 15 hours. This is excellent!
When I tested it only on MIUI interface (learning new system for me) , I saw the battery decreasing it's counter in the eyes. Absolutely not optimised system.

Miui gives very good battery life, every reviewer will say same thing. You either have rogue apps eating your battery away, or unofficial vendor modified miui which can have various problems.

Amazing for me. Heavenly 7-11 hours of SOT ?? (mainly Youtube) but bare in mind I came from Lg v10 (2 hours at best
I got About 7 hour sot !
With gaming (clash royale, brawl stars and clash of clans)
Social media(Instagram,twitter, Telegram)
And Youtube
good sot here after adb debloat. near on par with my previous devis ( moto z play )
I get only 6 hours sot?? And yes I've made changes to the settings to optimize the battery do some units just ship with ****tier batteries?
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.

I've had mine for 2 weeks and still getting ~5hrs SOT
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 was able to get around 1.5 days of continuous usage, between heavy gaming, regular gaming, web browsing, movie watching and some mails. Very pleased with the overall stamina.
My first "full" day with the ROG 3 (coming from ROG 2) Running mostly at Auto/120hz. Even did some heavy benchmarking with Antutu and Geekbench. Quite happy with SOT/battery life so far
Rooted with Kirisakura kernel, latest update
My second day with the ROG 3. Just amazing SOT Love this phone
I dont know what I am doing wrong though, but my SOT seems significantly less.
Epic battery life!! Best I've ever used.
Awesome battery life on this phone Here using 90Hz/60Hz (Using tasker to switch to 60hz when watching YouTube etc.) Also using Kirisakura kernel, clocked down CPU and GPU.
2nd and third pic is down to 35%. Used 120Hz from 50%
Just an update on last post:
13h SOT over 2 days (48h) is just amazing. Used 90hz first 50%, 120hz the rest

Hey! Sorry for my best English, i' m writing with the help of google translator . I wanted to consult with you about SOT Rog Phone 3 vs SOT ROG II. I want to buy RG3, but I'm worried that it will hold less charge than my current smartphone. This issue is very important to me, i'm literally obsessed =)
My use case: 60HZ, 30% screen light, YouTube, Telegram is constantly used.
In your opinion, who has a more durable battery? Attached screenshot Rog Phone II SOT (without root and using only the built-in capabilities to disable the background work of applications)

Hi!
ROG phone 2 and 3 have about the same battery life. ROG 3 maybe a little better due to newer SD 865+ that is a bit more efficient It has even the same battery capacity, 6000mah

Oh... The day before yesterday I bought a used cell Rog Phone 3. Before buying, I made sure that the battery is in good condition, at least I want to believe it. Attached a screenshot of the remaining battery capacity from Aida64.
Unfortunately, my SOT results were much less than yours, and even those I received from Rog Phone 2.
60 HZ, 30% screen light, dark theme... Could you please tell me what needs to be tweaked to at least get close to your SOT?

Hi!
That SOT seems be great, about the same as me trough a normal day. I only get that very high SOT when watching YouTube or movies a lot. If you want to tweak the phone as me, you will have to root it. Not a big difference, but it helps.
First be sure that your phone is updated to latest version, and if you have updated, do a factory reset

I attach the second test. the day is completely on the mobile internet. 2 hours of Skype conversations. do you think the phone is OK with SOT?
Honestly, I was expecting 13-15 hours on a daily non-gaming use. Rog II gave it to me. ROG III disappointed me.

Hi,
Yeah, that seems a bit low.. Might be due to Skype, if you used camera it drains more battery.. If you got 13-15h SOT on your Rog 2 with the same usage, it is very bad in comparison.. Too bad you are disappointed with your ROG 3.. Maybe a factory reset might help?
I ve been using my ROG 3 for a month, didnt charge it above 100% usually, i did once to check real battery mAh, which is like 5700mAh(wtf)
Now i get this **** on screen time..
Please advise.
*Edit
The screen on time is mostly related to the apps you use, the games i play are performance demanding, which makes the battery drain faster.
S' all good in the end.
