Absolutely! The Honor 8 has a 3000mAh battery.
NOTE: These approximations depend on the user operation and network condition.
-The battery has 60 hours of standby time
-28 hours of 2G talk time
-15 hours of 3G talk time
-11 hours of VoLTE talk time
-9 hour online video streaming
-24 hours for online music
Battery life is very very good, unplugging at 07:00 mobile connection until 08:00 then WIFI until 17:00 and then mobile connection until 21:00 i usually get 5-6 hours screen on time 5% remaining.... with my normal usage ( Whastapp, Twitter, Spotify, Reddit, Tinder , Browsing).

My friend got 8h with moderate use, and I was much amazed
last a day and a bit for me
Does last long but never more than 2hours SOT
6h SOT on heavy use
Since I have it I had on the N B360 in one day on heavy usage an SOT of 7 hours and 49 minutes
But now some users on N B381 reported SOT of almost 9 hours
Its just great
You know what? Nougat is all messed up and actually with very heavy usage you can do up to 7 hours of display. Still amazing!!
It heats up on graphics intensive games. But manageable.
it withstand everything you throw. Easily gets 5 hours on any type of usage
on heaavy usage gaming battery dont drain fast.
was performing great on heavy usage.
5 hours on heavy gaming.

Nearly died laughing. 22 hours? Damn!
poor very poor...
At Home.
Played Videos HD for about 4 hours straight with sound mods such as V4A and brightness set to 75%. Wifi On and bluetooth on with GPS (high accuracy) and SIM On.
Played heavy games such as Implosion for 20 mins and medium games .
Was Browsing in between on Chrome Dev for like 45 mins and streamed Youtube in between for about 30 mins HD.
Last of All SOT at 5 hours 55 mins.
I am happy..!
Oneplus 3 on OOS 3.2.1 systemless root and xposed with Divine Beats sound mod.
Pretty good, not incerdible. Between 4h and 5h and heavy usage (Pokémon GO lol)
More than acceptable. I'm not a gamer but watch a lot of videos and have never had that annoying feeling where you look up and it's at 8%. Standby time is more important to me and that's excellent too.
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 Honor 8 before depleting the battery.

I can get over 4h SOT. Nice!
I have been averaging 6 hour OT. Let keep in mind I do not have any social media apps on my phone Had all google services running such as google now, and had my location on battery saving mode. I usually run map for about 15-20 minutes on average.
Really impressed.
WiFi and LTE all the time on, WhatsApp and Skype protected, web surfing and other normal uses. Better than my old Honor7.
Of course never charged.
Edit: it took me over 7 hours before I had to put it to charge.
During my first charge cycle after I started using H8, I got 4 hrs of SOT with 50 hrs of standby time. I put it to charge with 21% battery remaining so it should have given in another hour I think. I am a light user.
Will update once I have tested it through more scenarios and heavy usage.
I let PC Mark Work 2.0 run overnight with the screen at ~25% brightness in Performance Mode. It was in Airplane mode because the benchmark says notifications can interrupt it and this was the first time since getting the phone I've had enough time to run it.
I put it on the charger a few minutes before I remembered to take the screenshot. It was at 18% when I looked at it.
I can use the phone for 2 days, which is definitely amazing. With that in mind, I usually get about 5-6 hours SOT. Brightness set to 30 percent, Many apps (incl Snapchat, Instagram and WhatsApp) are protected. I'm a student so I turn the Internet off for about 6 hrs per day because the Internet connection in the school is just to bad.
Connected to WiFi as often as possible.
Not many games (nearly never in fact) but heavy Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat use.
it seems that the phone can average 4hrs SOT for moderate to heavy usage which is very good
During about 2 days of usage I have 4-5h SOT so I could say that combined 18-19 standby and the SOT is what I have which is really nice after my BB Z10. Mostly FB, Messenger, BBM, Chrome, Youtube and photography.
Hello, I just gotta say the battery works really good with this phone. I'm really happy I picked the honor 8

I've seen it on the Screenshots above and I see it on my Honor 8 as well.. Why is does the software need much more battery than the hardware? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Here it's 6-9 hours of screen on, average a little over 7. Maybe I keep the brightness a little low, people tend to say that it's dark but it's comfy enough for me. I mostly use WiFi and the same apps that used to drain my Galaxy S4 before it was evening. Now I can go to bed with 50% to spare.
Around 4-5 depending on how many games I play . I use it quite heavily as a phone too (I know, shock) so I'm more than content.
Standby time was close to two days
Played games etc. Took it from loading at 6.10 am ended at 22:00 with 4℅. Love the battery <3
Here the screens:
It depends on the network usage !
If you use cell data you're ready for 3-4 hours SOT
If you use Wi-Fi you can hope for around 7 hours
Yes.

Got 6 hours sot on my first usage starting at 90%, wifi only - internet/youtube/light gaming
Not impressive but decent, not as terrible as I thought sd820 was going to be aside from it being hot
Could be better but with all of the battery saving features you get, I don't have any issues with how long the battery lasts with the screen on.
You can also change the resolution to FHD. It will increase the SOT and FPS while playing videogames Great new feature :good:

6 hours of heavy usage with LTE would be very impressive, S7E exynos can pull off 6-7 hours in that regard.
6 hours with wifi and light usage is pretty typical even for mid range phones, my 7 years old iphone can pull off similar results in airplane mode.

No ****, eh? I am beyond happy with the SOT with this phone... hell, the battery period. My POS LG G3 couldn't go more than 3.5 hours SOT with light to moderate usage.
Sent from my SM-N930V using XDA Free mobile app
20 hours 30minutes on phone charged 100percent at 1 am it's now 908pm 23 percent battery left. 4hourd 43 minutes sot I'm impressed.

U are saying iphone 3gs was capable of 6 hours of usage
Lol standby or airplane mide note 7 would last a week. Easy.
Sent from my SM-N930V using XDA Free mobile app
Mine clocked 8 hrs with wifi, you tube, moderate gaming and online music.
I've managed about 17hrs SOT on my Note 5 once*
*Attatched to a battery pack lol
Snapdragon model note 7. Had 6 hours 30 minutes of screen on time, 3 more hours of standby, WiFi, Bluetooth, WiFi calling, and AOD all active, location set to battery saving, none of the power saving features active, spent lots of time in Firefox and Facebook messenger, watched a full movie from SD card at 100% brightness, sketched in autodesk sketchbook with the s pen for maybe an hour, and I still have 35% remaining. Been at full bars of reception all day, though, so no drain from low signal. Either way, I'm impressed. Especially coming from my HTC one m9, haha. And the phone stayed pretty cool all day, especially compared to the m9.
Hi, I'm looking at around 5 hours of SOT.
I believe I am experiencing severe battery drain on my phone. My phone doesn't last a complete day without needing a recharge.
Here are some quick stats.
- My phone has been on for 6h20m. Screen on for 2h17mn. Battery left is 58%. Although, I've turned on MAX power saving mode for about 1 hour or two today to ensure that my phone can last throughout the day.
- I usually have screen brightness at 50% or lower.
- According to the device maintenance app, and depending on past usage I have enough juice for another 6h50mn. That would lead to screen time of about 4 to 5 hours.
- I'm using dark themes whenever possible to reduce screen battery consumption.
- I've played a game for about 10 to 20 minutes today
- I've noticed that when my screen is on, every couple of minutes (maybe 5 minutes at the most) my battery percentage will drop by 1%.
- I mainly use my phone for gReader (RSS Reader with dark theme modee), WhatsApp (with black wallpaper) and the Economist.
- The top 3 items that have consumed my battery so far are: Screen (33%), Android OS (21%), Andoroid System (16%)
- I'm using two SIMs on my phone
- Believed to be Exynos. Bought it from the Middle East
- Always on Dispaly has 4 clocks on at all times. Probably using more battery.
Am I a heavy user hence why my battery is running out quickly. Or are there certainly issues with the battery?
Thanks for your feedback
I feel as if I'm getting horrible battery life as well. Been hard to tell being that I have horrible signal at work, if it doesn't improve with real world usage this weekend I'm going to phone att for a replacement.
SOT is a useless measure on it's own, doesn't tell anything about the battery life. I doubt you can get 6h SOT and that your phone can last until the end of the day. Yesterday I got about 4h SOT and around 14h uptime before I plugged it in again. Can't say that I am unhappy with that.
5 hours of playing Deemo and have 14% remaining, probably going to refund it for a S7E with exynos instead or keep it and sell it before S8 launches
Wifi only, brightness was around 30% auto. Not a gpu intensive game at all so not as impressive as it sounds. I believe the S7E exynos did 5 hours of pokemon go with max brightness.
I'm getting great battery. Better than my Nexus 6P, which I didn't expect. Seemed to run hot day 2, not day 3. Not...sure why. Love the power options, normally I hate to touch power saving.

Quoting myself here. Day 4 with the phone, 4:10 SOT with 18 h of on-battery time. Battery went down to 4%. Just a normal use, few videos, lots of music played (Deezer and Pandora), about 30m of Pokemon Go, news, etc. Once again, not unhappy with the results. I would prefer if I have another 5-10% left to account for the unexpected. Otherwise, all good.
In process
very strong.

I don't use mobile data, and when I don't use the device it's in ultimate power saver mode. Low screen brightness, most apps disabled for background running (everything except WhatsApp and other apps I want to receive notifications from) . Stock apps mostly disabled. Wifi is always on. That's it really
100 to 14%, 11h16m SOT for over 4 days on a single charge with 2h of online gaming. Wifi and mobile data mixed. Very good I would say. If no gaming and using the phone for just about 2 days I can easily achieve 13-14h screen on time.
New shot, 12h11m SOT from 100% to 18% with 1h17m gaming for over 5d18h on a single charge, only wifi. 14h SOT achieved to 0%.
Only on Wi-Fi, listening to Spotify on Bluetooth for around 3-4 hours, a bit of gaming (1-2 hours), and some browsing and stuff. This phone has amazing battery life.
Lots of Web browsing, some music, sot over 19h and 4day standby, when phone will have 2-3% I will post exact sot.
Show the software graph too. May be you charged the phone a bit to achieve these 19h SOT, but hiding this from us? I can't imagine I'm getting such a result. Max 14h. What's your region and carrier?
As I said before lots of web browsing, some music, sot almost 22h in 5days run, all stock. Europe carrier orange.
btw. what is Notification Center it got same % of run as minecraft, my son was playing it for abou 3h.
Man what a result! Impossible for me according to my usage.
Damn ..How ever I use ..I am getting 8 to 9 hours daily
Yup, I can't understand these guys with 14-18h SOT, 12h from 100 to 15% is usual for me.
For me last 13% of battery lasts for about 3hours of sot, when first 87% lasts for 19h, also I can see that blackplayer and few other apps doesn't show up in stats maybe that they are running in background, idk.
S232 Nougat Battery life.
13h50m SOT from 95% to 15%
6d12h on a battery epic!
Web browsing, YouTube, mainly wifi, an hour or two 3G. Auto brightness on medium to low.
4 days and still going ..
Over 4 days since last charge ( on nougat ) . ok i am a pretty light user but the galaxy S5 could hardly get over 1 day .
I've been using a Pixel 3 XL for about a month and I'm not sure if there's something wrong with my battery life or not. There reason I worry is that I've ready a lot of posts online of people seeing they typically get 5 to 6 hours of SOT sessions, or even more, across a day, which I'm sure it would be impossible for me to achieve – I'm more like 3 hours SOT over a day session. However, given that SOT is not the best indicator, I was wondering if there is a good way for me to actually test if there's anything wrong with my battery?
Some details about my usage below. I would also appreciate if people could tell me if anything seems weird about the battery life I'm getting out:
I'm a light-to-moderate user, I charge once about every 24 hours and probably get around 2.5 to 3 hours of SOT in between charges. I recharge at around 20% usually.
Location is always on. Auto-brightness. I'm on Google Fi, so LTE is on, but 95% of the day I'm connected to good signal WiFi.
My overnight drain, with WiFi, data, and AOD off, is 4 to 5%.
I've been using AccuBattery and BBS and I don't think I have any rogue apps or weird wakelocks. I've got 100% battery health, and AccuBattery says my avg Screen on usage is 16.3%/h. With Screen Off is 1.2%/h (that's with ~2 hours every day used with screen off for Spotify or podcasts).
The most I've pushed the battery is to watch YouTube videos on it continuously one day, and I went from 100% to 15% over 4.5 hours of continuous streaming.
Thank you!

Sorry but that doesn't make sense. That's about 5 hours SOT from a full battery right there.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear enough.
So I could get 5 hours SOT if all I do is watch YouTube videos, no standby time, no other usage. So the phone would be dead in 5 hours. 5 hours SOT in a 5 hour session. But if I use my phone naturally through out the day, I get about 3 hours SOT for a 24-hour session. The posts I've seen from other people is that they get 5-6 hours SOT in a day-long session (18 to 24 hours). So in comparison my real-life use seems to not last as much as theirs.
