(Q) Battery life??

Guys, I'm thinking about buying a Xperia ZQ (other version of the ZL), and first I have to know about its battery endurance, since I wouldn't be able to charge it everyday. If someone can answer, I would appreciate:
What do you think about its battery? How much do you usually get from it? A full day? And with YouTube? And what about with games?
Any other hints about it, please, comment.
Thanks.

On my case games drained more than that ( 4hs cellphone was asking for charger )
Sadly whouldn¡t recommend if you can't carge it everyday. The day you have to use a little more of the GPS / music you're dead...

1 day of battery life is normal in androids

Thank you guys.
How much time of screen on do you usually (without gaming or excessive YouTube viewing) get in a full cycle of battery? E.g: 4 hours, 4h 1/2, 5 hours..

2 hours without gaming

I get about 2 days battery life with 4-5 hours screen on time. But I don't sync anything with google and don't use the facebook app. And my phone mostly runs in 2g-mode (or wifi) because network sucks in my area.

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 OnePlus 3 before depleting the battery.

Sounds great so far, knowing that the battery normally becomes better after 2-3 days of charging I hope that we will reach even better SOTs

I hpe for at least 4-5 sot with wifi and normal usage and 3.5 hrs for mobile data.

Mobile data 3g

SOT really depends on usage, and whilst I was one like many here that is obsessed with SOT, I've started to just use phones without really worrying about it. Plus Dash charge is a great addition (aside from having to carry the charger with you).

Used a few apps, specially Snapchat and Whatsapp. Got a screen on time of 3.5 hrs on 4G. Decent yeah. OPO had a tad bit better.

What's the stand by?

I bought it on the launch day and conducted the test the next day after a full cycle. At precisely 5 pm I unplugged the device, at 100%, Connected to wifi with brightness at 25%, with auto brightness off. The phone was at 3% the next day at 4 pm. I got about 5 hours and 15 minutes of screen on time, moderately heavy usage, the phone only lost 6% overnight. Made 15 minutes worth of phone calls, light gaming, lots of browsing and video watching. And some apps with location as well. My previous phone was a oneplus one and for my usage, it seems to be giving me better battery life.

I'm soo ****ing tempted to send my nexus 5x back and get the op3. 400 bucks is a steal with those specs. Also your SOT looks good. Are you using a dark theme and a dark wallpaper or not? From what I've read it comes prerooted?

Nope. Actually refrained from using the dark theme to see how well the battery does. And my wallpaper is the default never settle wallpaper. And no, it doesn't come pre-rooted.

Thanks for the info. Rooting that thing shouldn't be too hard anyway. Wonder how much battery you can sqeeze out with a dark theme / wallpaper? Haven't used an oled screen in years, though. Even more tempted now.

Time on: 7h 2m 41s
Computer power use: 534 mAh
I'll PM the Droplr link for the battery stats and SoT screens
I've using the following:
Dark Mode active throughout
Night Mode active throughout [ I REALLY REALLY LOVED IT, so I keep it on all the time.]
Apps used - Gmail, Excel, Word, Dropbox, Apple Music, Pocketcasts, Fenix, Messenger and Whatsapp.
Data usage is split over LTE and WiFi.
Battery was at 5% as I post this
If there is any other stat you'd like to see let me know

I'm getting exactly 5 hrs of sit for the last 2 charge cycles. Completely on wifi. No sim cards for now and moderate usage with low to no gaming.

A5 2017 amazing battery life normal?

I'm at 15% and got 8h23 SOT. Surely will hit 9h mark I assume.
4G enabled but mostly wifi, volte, Bluetooth. Watched 2 series, was on the Internet all day and some Internet radio on high quality. So no compromises.
Haven't had this much battery life with any smartphone, flagship Sony, galaxy s7 edge and oneplus 3t recently.
Anyone else have this? Didn't expect this at all..
Edit: almost 10h SOT short a few minutes. Added screenshots to show.

Yes, this is normal for this device. I'm sorry for your inconvenience. Since you're dutch, you can read this for more information on batterylife.

Well yea, will need to send it back!
"battery life too good"

Yes, it is amazing and it is normal. It seems Samsung finally put some effort into the optimization.

Samsung has nailed it this time

Mine gets as high as 4.5-5 hours of sot. 2G, full reception, data off, BT off, sync off, occasional Wifi usage, Facebook crap disabled and AOD on. quite disappointing.

Is this normal sot...after 3 days of use?

I think so, 52hrs of standby time also takes some batterylife. So.... Did u also use always on display?

No...I dont use always on display. And my sot i about 7h after 2/3 days.

I hit the mark of 1 day and 19 hours with the first half charge, right after unboxing... Although it seems it won't repeat as my previsions are for 22 hours with 80%... Anynway, very good battery life

Look at this stats . Wifi +sync +4g allways on.
Best device i ever had regarding battery life

Battery life is simply amazing on this device... with Nougat
All sync on, wifi, BT and so on.. google services such as location history and assistant...
After 2d 4h 45m on battery and 7h 21m screen on I still have 23% battery left !

Samsung made a mistake in the design specifications of the 2017 series. They currently use a battery that uses a low-radioactive component that is superior to the standard battery but it has not been tested for the long term. just kidding It's not only the A5 also the A3 shows this kind of battery stats. Battery usage with GPS (not including wifi/cell location) is also very good from my experience with A3. But have noticed that after a week or so the battery will go down faster but am not so sure because of irregular use of chat apps running that receive messages frequently.
I'm on Marshmallow. I like to know how Nougat does in comparison

Is there still anyone who get these kind of stats in nougat? I got 6h of sot and I'm at 12%. Is this normal? Also, I woke at 17% (didn't discharge a single % overnight) but it dropped to 12% only by using fb, samsung default browser and settings...

I get similar, seems MM had bettery battery life.

Yes, A7 is champion in terms of battery life.

That's weird my A5 just got the Oreo update and now the battery drains faster than before... When I check the device maintenance I can see cell standby consumption is higher than the screen. I wiped all the data and cache, reset factory, restet network settings, disabled sync, location... and the issue remains. I don't know what to do to solve the issue and am afraid they're not going to take the problem seriously if I send it back to samsung... Anyone can relate?

It is not in a single charge but that's what I get. The stamina is still correct though so idk if it is more like a display problem or if it does show the real consumption and so the battery should last way longer.

how is your battery holding off?

Hi, i have been noticing that my battery its just getting me through the day with 4hs SOT in 14 or 15 hs of use. I have tried many roms and kernels and there is no difference. My phone its not too old (1 year and a half) so i wanted to ask you how was your battery doing. And if mines dying. (Sorry for poor english)

lineage os 15.1
I get from 4.5-6h of SOT depends on how heavy or how many pics I abuse the phone
stock pie, I barely get 2.5h of SOT and if I go heavy use on it, I barely crack 2h

18 months is more than average use, and that usage is normal, and mine is exactly like yours by the way, and the device is of same age too LoL. I am gonna keep using it like this and when SoT drops below 3 hour mark might consider replacing the battery. You can already consider changing the battery anyway.
PS: Tip, stop using those stupid Adaptive ****s Pie brought, both the battery and brightness thingy, those do nothing except drain more.

What about like stock pie with a custom kernel?

Stock Pie here, latest security, just rooted with TWRP.
Get about 2.5 with mixed media and gaming and little gaming I can get about 3.5 hours SOT. Just got the phone about two weeks ago, coming from a 6P. Accubattery shows 71 battery health.
It's not too bad but not that great either. Personally it gets me through work and back home and it charges very fast using the 6P charger even when gaming.
I wish the battery was better, other than that I LOVE my Pixel XL!

Stock Pie, not touched, not modified, not rooted. Perfectly happy with battery life so far, up to 8 h. SOT, up to 1 day of moderate usage.

8h SOT seems pretty crazy for a 2 year old device but I can see it. Mine usually gets upwards of 5-6 depending on what games I'm playing on it etc. Mind you I'm rooted with a custom kernel installed. Either way I am still very much impressed with the Pixels battery life.

Sorry to say, but are you sure you didn't charge your phone to 90 percent and unplug it a few times? That doesn't reset SOT.
Hard to believe that my phone is still bate minimun, stock Pie and can barely squeeze 3.5 hours SOT out of it at 72 percent battery health.
There are legit nothing keeping my phone awake either. I use gsam and BetterBatteryStats.
There is no way you're getting 8 hours SOT on a two year old devices, when even the Note 9 isn't getting anywhere near that.

As I have mentioned before, the one in my hands is brand new, born from Pie. So I am holding barely 2 months old device, far away from two years and it easily last from morning till next morning. 8 hours of SOT is possible depending on usage, double checked. Even GSM arena test says it's holding 11 hours of video playback. Moderate usage, dark themes in every possible app, some YouTube, Facebook, Google Play Music, browsing, on WiFi almost 24 /7, up to 30 min calling per day. But no gaming at all.
My first screen shot may be a bit confusing one as I unplugged my device from charger while taking it and posting. 5 h SOT, half juice left, but it will go a bit faster now, never exceed 8 hours here. If you are using if for processor intensive task I agree 4-5 hours will be most what you'll get.

Stats at this moment.

How do you guys get such crazy battery life?! I'm lucky to scrape in an hour of screen on time! And that's just using it to look at Facebook and Snapchat here and there.

AccuBattery Pro stats

Custom pie rom here. I usually average about 5 hrs sot. Sometimes if im just texting and light browsing I'll get to 3 hrs at 50% but no matter what else i do it magically ends at about 5 hrs even when Im on track for 6. Now if I start using snapchat, youtube, camera the battery drops like a rock and I'll show only 3.5 maybe 4 hours. this is with LTE, not much wifi, but that doesnt seem to alter the outcome much one way or another.
Oh and share, Im getting 1 less with pie compared to oreo. Someone in another thread tried to tell me it was just me and my phone but looks like thread everywhere show pie is a battery bogger.

What's a good app to measure battery health
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

hi I'm actually xda passive user from 2011, since then I always using sony devices (xperia arc, xperia SP, xperia Z2 xperia XA2 Ultra, XZ Premium) but this is my first time to have an account and be active user. My pixel XL using custom pie rom (liquid remix) and kingkernel by KingBri, Blu_Schedutil gov can least up to 4.5-5hours SOT in 30% LTE and 70% wifi moderate use (WA,IG,Youtube,Chrome) but it can drop to 3-4hours SoT when I'm gaming PUBGM for total 1hour. I think thats good remind I bought second hand Pixel XL in Indonesia just about less than 2 weeks ago. sorry no screenshot because I forgot to capture it when still in liwuid remix and now I'm in BootLeggerROM 3.5 Pie and wanna test the differences. Thank you :good::good:

Are you all sure that SOT isn't calculated also while displaying fingerprint area? I didn't test it yet, but it probably also counts sot, so the displayed parameter may show bs.

hmm I don't know, could be.
I used chrome a lot but not sure if it adds up to 7h. I mainly used the phone in bed with lights turned off so the brightness was at lowest setting the most of the time...
I might disable the fingerprint display if thats possible an post another screenshot.
I disabled some sensors with an xposed module and have the feeling that the battery lasts a bit longer since that.
Can give u a list of disabled sensors if you are interested.
