Mine went off the charger at 11pm, Thursday, Aug 28. Lite usage through Monday, Sept.1
At 1am I had 38% or 10h 25m remaining.
On a typical work week, I get 2 1/2 days on one charge, with the power saver set to "normal",
the lowest setting.

Mine is china version, which already receive Android 4.4.2 KitKat update.
Sorry, don't have the screen on time from this, I don't check it because it isn't what's relevant to ME. What's important to me is how long I can use my device for my regular stuff without charging.

Hi! Can I just do a quick check with u regards the China version. Is it the one that's with their in house processor? And if they come with gapps installed? And the lte band? I for sure can't use the US version in Singapore but I read some specs that the China version lte band may be compatible here.

You must choose MT2-L05 version in order to get LTE working in Singapore. It is with Huawei in house Kirin processor which different from US Snapdragon 400. You just need to download Google.apk and installed on this China version HAM2.

Thanks! But what do u mean by Google.apk.. As in playstore.apk? I used that method on my Chinese rom ham1 but I could not get contacts and calender to sync. Only a fully functioning playstore is available, and it does nothing else.
I am sorry if I hijacked this thread. Ham1 section is almost dead...

Hi! PMed. Thanks!
The battery life on this phone is like nothing I've ever seen from a phone or tablet. It's absolutely incredible.
This is with 3h30m of OST, time with no signal on the subway, listening to music, and otherwise heavy usage.

I got a rooted mate 2. what do you want me to do now?... IDK what that is. but I have my hotspot on all the time which usually kills any phone but this phone holds on strong. i get like 12 hours of tether and also moderate phone use .Its at the point where I do not even care about my battery any more. Before when i got into my Jeep id plug in my phone for a road trip or whatever and now it just stays in my pocket or cup holder.

Nearly 9 hours off charge. 1 hour of listening to radio/podcasts. Other time spent Checking emails and looking at Web.. .. .. I am currently at 86%. I will not charge it until I get down to near zero.... We will see how long it lasts. I'm guessing sometime on Saturday, lol. I will let you know.
Battery Test
I quit my battery test once I hit the 2 day mark. Let me start off by saying I did this test on a week day so I'm not limited to my lazy day weekend phone usage. I'm in the I.T. field so i'm a power user when it comes to smartphones. My phone is my central hub to my life. The things I use daily and can not live without is phone, text, EMAIL, Facebook, Dropbox, my flash light widget, Evernonte, Google Maps, Amazon, eBay, Pandora, and Camera. I know that sounds like a lot but I promise you I access every one of those apps on a daily basis at least twice a day. (flash light for dark places behind desks or when on the porch at night). I have the power setting to "Endurance". Keep in mind I followed the correct profile settings also. The only two I used out of the four is Normal and Sleep (the other two is meeting and outdoor). I also kept my screen brightness on Auto for most of the time unless I was playing a game or watching youtube. At night around 1 am when I usually go to sleep I turned my phone on "sleep" profile which turns off everything except phone, and text. Which I want left on in case my 82 year old grandmother needs to call me in the middle of the night for some emergency (or my brother gets arrested, lol). When I woke up I simply turned my profile back to normal which you can set to the way you like. I kept mine on the original settings. That being said I did not use my phone like it was under some battery test trying to screw with the results. My brother and I have had many phones in the past and all the batteries do not live up to the description. After 2 days of being off the charger. I woke up with 28% on the 3rd day and could not wait no longer to charge it because the power manager said I have another 9 hours of charge left. I prob could have made it through another work day but being the techie I am can not afford to have my phone die. My brother has a Note 3 right now and he swears i'm tweaking my phone to get these results. (hahah Samsung Sucker, I'm an LG Fan). I attached some pics of my Battery Stats. This phone is a flagship for all smartphones. I can't wait to see next years phone. I thought the display would be a little upsetting because its not 1080p but after doing a test next to my brothers note 3 with all out power saving settings off and screen on 100% brightness his phone only looked a little better then mine. like so little that he was getting upset. hahah kept giving me excuses of how the video is not really HD or its streaming different or bla bla bla. after 10 videos he was still talking sh*T. I was cracking up. This phone is actually brighter then the Note 3 which makes it look almost as clear.
As a Note I use Mobile hotspot in my car all the time because I have an in-dash Android Tablet as my radio and I need wi-fi to listen to Pandora and Spotify. I used hotspot about 4 hours within the 2 day test.
I also used in the two days that would consume battery:
Pandora - 2 hours
Hot-spot- 4 Hours
YouTube- 30 Minutes
Games - 30 mins
Facebook- random check ins all day
XDA Free- random check ins all day
Text (screen time) no way to guess. I text all day. hahahaha
Play with settings- 2 hours
Live wallpaper - sucks power ( I had it on)

Yes, SGS3 battery is bigger, but the screen is bigger two, 4 cores of CPU and a more power hungry GPU, then Smart Stay eye tracking will be using front camera, that should drain battery as well...
So bigger battery could serve the extra changes from SGS2 and SGS3 would probably stay out of wires or induction charging for the same time as SGS2?
What do you say?
MicroSIM - does it use less power than SIM?
Its actually kinda useless when it comes to discussion like this as no one has the phone in their hands yet. Filling the pages with speculation and assumption will simply set a good/bad reputation to the mobile itself.
Id like to see this thread come alive after the release
cheers
i was getting 30-40 hours out of my gs2 running stock at&t. i would think the gs3 would do the same even with the added goodness. but even with the induction charging... i would imagine we will still need an extra battery or wired charger plugged in. there will always be times when the battery gets low and have to be charged while using it.
The photo I've seen looks like a mini sim, not micro sim.
No idea how the battery would be but the Samsung HK-MG 32nm process looks very promising, based on it's implementation in the iPad2,4 revision. More info:
http://www.androidnz.net/2012/05/samsung-galaxy-s3-secrets-revealed.html
Don't think the "camera tracking" will take up much power either, they could probably just make due with a snapshot every 5 minutes(or when it would normally go into standby) or so and do facial recognition.
I was hoping for a battery close to the RAZR MAXX
Now that the battery is 2100, then i'm hoping that users will be able to control all new features. By that i mean turn them on and off. I really don't care for the many new features that Samsung has come up with. If it was possible I would replace Samsung's modified Android version with a Out of the box version like on Galaxy Nexus. Personally i was hoping that Motorola soon would come out with a new Quad Core phone with their 3300 battery.
Currently the one S with a 2x battery ap holds a decent amount battery battery with smart use of connection and other features by default, so I would have thought that it would work nicely on the bigger sg3. However I'm planning to have a 2nd battery handy and not worry about running out at any point.
sent with HTC1S
I'm hoping for an extended battery that adds a little to the phone. Maybe a 2750 or even 3300. Also to the gut who said Motorola one with quad. Don't, Motorola is terrible with their lies about bootloaders abd updating.
Samsung does a pretty good job at power management, I think battery life will be good especially with that 2100 Mah battery and the fact that the SoC is based on 32nm so less power used. We should be able to get a full day pretty easily.

I have VERY BAD fealings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DfoKoDYD7c&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Look at that review: Battery life goes from 92% to 84%...
That means quite nothing (We don't know what they do in cutted frames)... but in my mind I am quite sure that battery life will be even shorter than my LG Optimus 2x (16h with push notific and so on..)

It's over a period of 30 minutes, which seems to suggest an approximate battery lifetime of around 5-6 hours with the display on.
This is not really a bad thing but simply due to powering such a large display, but really most phones seem to get around 5-7 hours these days.
The Galaxy Nexus have the same "problem", but as I recall the Nexus also had some of the best idle/no display battery lifetime i.e. Only taxing antennas and processors.

See the battery lifetime for the gsm version during talk or hotspot sharing the Nexus easily have some of the best performance there.

But, You know, it is the same old story: "nothing special" battery life.

in Moscow there is some mobile analytic(Eldar Murtazin). He using engineering sample of SGS3 for 2 or 3 month. And he noticed, that the battery enough for 10-12 hours of active use, when compared with SGS2 - 5-6 hours, his words
google translate
Much work has been done in terms of energy efficiency, battery 2100 mAh, and the device works like my day with a fairly thick load. What will happen in the commercial samples, I can not judge, more importantly, that time has grown and it is noticeable to the eye. On the other hand, to take advantage of this, it is necessary to disable all of the additional and not very necessary function. They are in the unit, in the opinion of the average user, it became much more.

First of all: thank you very much for this news!
As I said: The same old story!
I like to be able to choose whether or not activate a function.. BUT WHY Samsung put it there?

You decide for yourself. I don't think that its horrible. Avg use will usually put me at 30% or so at the end of the day. Including social networking, browsing web, text messaging, minimal gaming

If your a heavy user chances are you wont get a full day, but thats most phones. I bought a extended battery case for mine from at&t and I get a full day and more with that. But if you use it for basic text and calling and a little internet here and there you should be fine!

thats about what im getting too.
I think both the enlarged battery and JB increased the battery life substantially, as an avid anime watcher, i often use my phone for 720p playback for long sittings (lasting from 1-3 hours) and the batery only loses around 20-25% with the screen about 10-20% brightness which btw is decent enough for most indoor environments (the one x+ still has a bright display despite being a tad dimmer the og one x). Coming from an evo 3d the battery life is about 50% better and about the same if not slightly better than my father`s galaxy siii. Standby is very good and the phone copes well with web browsing as well however don`t expect great battery life during gaming. All in all i am very satisfied.

Ditto. Ditto.
With average use like making a phone call send a text message and occasionally checking the internet or use my phone as remote for my wdtvlive hub and wifi always on i now on 33 % battery capacity with 2 days 9 hours of time. Must say have have energy saver on.
Also checked it with heavy use. One day i had to go to a city by train. So went out the house with google music streaming on my bike. At the train station the train arrived , i sat down and started to surf the net (all still with google music streaming) Arrived in eindhoven and started up google maps to see were i had to be. Walked for a mile and a half all navigated by maps. (still with google music streaming ). When going back home started up maps to see were the train station was and started up google music again. Back in the train watched some youtube (now with google music off offcourse ) back in my place on my bike google music again till i was at home i still had 45 % battery capacity.
So im happy with this stats !
My battery life is pretty good, actually.
At first, when I received my One X+ I even thought of returning it in, and maybe buy a SIII.
BUT... after 1 month, the battery is perfect and lasts 1 day without charging mid-day.
However, I let my One X+ run out of battery completely before fully charing it the first four days.
Guys I am a heavy user and I love to play hd games a lot for prolonged duration's.
On sIII battery used to last a whole day atleast using phone non stop ,is htc one x+ for users such as me???
I mean I just love sense but so far didn't buy bcoz of horrible battery issues I got from experienced mates who were using htc smartphones.
Iam now happy with battery life i get - my average using i get almost 2days (power saver on, i swich off some times when needed).
The thing is when i first got my phone i taught i will return it coz bat didn't even last 1 day with low usage, BUT the problem was - i didnt discharge hone till 0% till it swichs off, - calibrate battery!
So yeah calibrate your battery first! If you are rooted you can do it with app for store, but if not (like me for now tho) just discharge it from full charged 100% like 3 times till it swiches off.
Is it okay to fully discharge your phone 3 times in a row???
Actually I have a decent battery life on my X+, 16-18 hrs a day, but I never discharge it until the phone shut down by itself
I get good battery life. Usually a full day.

I don't think you should do that. You should only fully let your battery die around once or twice a MONTH. I just usually want until my battery is 20-30 percent to plug it in

So there are a lot of variables to this. My experience is that if you don't need to use more than one email account, don't have that email account set up as an exchange account then the avg user will probably have good battery life.
If you're like me and have three exchange email accounts set up, then battery life is ridiculously horrible. This is compounded by the fact that on the at&t version you can't turn off LTE and force the device into HSPA+ (3G) mode, even when you have the device rooted and on a custom rom.
I have gone back to my original One X for the moment and will let the smart folks here continue to tweak the device. It took about 4 months after the original One X was released to get a fairly bullet proof set up that worked well and had decent battery life.

Had the phone for about a month now. With background sync on, and over 150 apps installed my phone runs on average use for about 15 hrs, now that means usually when I'm out during the day. To me, that's fine, considering it lasts much longer than my previous HTC Desire, which had horrible battery life. While heavily gaming and browsing, the phone may last from about 2:40 to less than 4 hrs. While watching hd movies it held out close to 4 hrs, while the standby time I found to be fantastic! All in all, I'm pleased, considering the high end hardware it packs
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 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I don't find LTE is needed but I'm in a pretty good signal area most times.
You think I should go to a Samsung service center ?
I doubt a different device will be any different. Unless the phone is acting up, chances are it's an app or setting causing the trouble. Screen brightness, under location settings, make sure scan BTW and WiFi are turned off, those have been big ones for me in the past. Right now I'm testing adguard which runs VPN on your phone to block ads and it's hitting my battery pretty hard, but with fast charging and big battery, I'm living with it for now.
---------- Post added at 02:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 AM ----------
Also, you might want to set data settings to default and let the phone pick the strongest signal.

Do a factory reset and clear cache from recovery a couple of times, i would recommend a reflash. I'm a sec at best buy.
Temped to return it..
I've a UK version and I've been not really happy with battery life.
First thing, I disables AOD,but that didn't change anything.
I did a factory reset and I did set it up as fresh new without any App and/or Account.
So the phone has Wifi+LTE on and after 21h18m I've 36% left with 1h25m SoT done with Web Browsing.
The settings are standard, no sync, no AOD, Edge night mode.
Should I return the phone?
Thanks for advice
very impressed with the battery life, took it off charge yesterday around 9pm, been on all day on 4g, great 7 hours screen on time , this with auto brightness, 4 emails syncing
I just got my Note 7 yesterday and so far I'm pretty happy with the battery life. It's a great improvement compared to my previous phone (iPhone 6+), though I'm still figuring out on things to do to make the battery last longer.
if you want the maximum battery life, then disable animations in the dev settings (look around to learn how to get there if you don't know. only saying it cause you said you came from iPhone and thus idk what knowledge you have on android lol).
Um, also use minimalist wallpapers with a dominate black aspect.. (as in, use a wallpaper that is mostly pure black, since with AMOLED screens, true black means the 'pixels' are turned off completely, thus saving you a tiny tiny bit in battery). Also just don't use live wallpapers in general.
Ummmmmmmmmm..... oh, don't keep the phone at 100% alot. I'm kind of a hypocrite with that one though. I keep mine around 100% all the time because I never know when I'll randomly be out of the house for the majority of the day. thus having a 'full' battery means possibly an extra 30 minutes to an hour of 'usage'. But this also means that the battery will not last as long later on during its life. It also produces its most stable power delivery around the 83-85% area, so that's where you get the best 'bang for your percentage' so to speak. You'll notice it stays in the 83-85% range alot longer than it does at any other percentage.
But all in all, just keep the brightness down to a reasonable level, don't install apps that constantly run in then background (for example, I recently started using a podcast app called Pocket Cast, and ever since installing it, my battery % at the end of the day is generally 60% less than usual. As in, i normally can end my work day with about 78% battery remaining during an 8 hour shift, but after using this app, i'll be lucky to make it out with 10-20% battery. It seems to hog the battery when you're using it as well as when you're not. So at this point, I'd highly NOT recommend using it, even though its such a pleasure to use. Wow this was a long side note haha.), don't use the phone if its hot or cold, and idk I mean, everything I've listed is pretty much everyday basic things. So I doubt you are someone who doesn't already know these things XD

Thank you for the very informative reply, i have been switching back and forth from iOS to Android (eversince the first iPhone the first Xperia X10)
It is indeed an awesome switch for me this year, i hated my iPhone 6+ and the more i use the note 7 the more i like it. Given that it isn't "perfect", it's keeping me satisfied so far.
Let them tips coming

Well the biggest tip I can give is this: GET A GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR.... if you don't, you will regret it within weeks. The "Gorilla Glass 5" screen is complete crap. It scratches easier than plastic screens.... most Gorilla Glass phones have a hardness of around 5, but the Note 7 is only a 2-3. Some people have their phones scratching at level 2, others level 3... level 3 is just slightly better than plastic, and level 2 is worse than plastic... So get proper screen protector for the front, probably one that is good to be used with a case if you plan on getting a case as well. I'll personally be getting a DBrand skin for the phone and a screen protector from a company called Myrax? I think that's what it is. lemme go check.
Myriann is who makes it =3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JFHA16G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=KYMJDORDQX1V&coliid=I2ELMRA3UAHQMC&psc=1 and here's the link to its page. lol.
I thought the TGSP for the "edge" type phone is a hit and miss. I mostly read bad reviews about them and i think i only saw around 5 good reviews (or posts here) out of like 50 reviews
Have had mine for around 24 hours now and after a good charge after buying it, I got around 6.5hrs of SoT. Pretty happy with that. Only gonna get better haha.

The battery saving option really does work!
Move from 6s Plus to Note7, I'm not really happy with Note7 battery life. But I think it will improve in next two week. I aslo need UVable kernel to make phone cooler as I did on Note5

Will updating affect the "rootability" of the phone?
First run (52-0) I got 4hrs SOT during initial set up.
2nd most present run I got 6hrs 26mins (8% left) within 15hrs of usage, although I played Pokemon Go for 3hrs on max brightness which did some pretty hefty damage.
For those who want max battery life, this is what I've learned in my limited time:
- Download (buy) Package Disabler Pro (PDP) and disable the bloatware
- Disable the unnecessary sensor stuff throughout the settings app
- If you dont use Always On Display, disable it
- Disable Auto Brightness, and use the minimum brightness manually
- If you play Pokemon Go, download "Battery Saver for Go", it turns the display off when idle
- Enable MID Battery Saver mode with unchanged resolution, enabled Limit Performance, and disabled Prevent background network (if you stream or need it, otherwise enable it). Set max brightness to 80%
---- Be sure to re-enable Device Maintenence in PDP to get customisable power savings back.
- If you want, use the BLACKEST theme you can. I personally dont like any of them, so i kept to Samsungs stock theme
- DONT USE FB OR FB MESSENGER, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM etc. Use the web versions
- DONT USE CHROME. Samsungs Stock browser takes time to get used to, but its much more battery friendly
Without me playing Pokemon Go, I could have easily pushed for 7hrs SOT++ which is damn impressive for having the brightness at 80%.

Few reports of battery life not as good on the BOE devices, let's try and get a better picture of what's happening.
I now have a BOE.
While I can get through a day of good usage I'm sure it was better on my first device with an LG screen.

How do you know the manufacturer of the screen?
I didn't expect their to be a difference in battery life between the two devices due to screen manufacturing. However I replaced my device with a BOE screen. This is day one for me and I will monitor and see how things end up in terms of battery life. The screen quality is much better though with the BOE

"Goto Phone Manager touch power saving->Optimize.Phone Manager will rapidly identify apps or features that are rapidly drainning the battery.Touch the Optimize button net to each or feartures to disable it and start saving power.You can touch Recover to re-enable the app or feature.

Andriod noob here. I feel i have the same issue.
My last phone was a iphone x, used phone clone to transfer pictures and contacts to my new mate20pro.
Installed all the apps i needed and i instantly loved the phone, fast and so much battery life. I didnt mess with any battery settings, wifi and 4g always on, brightness auto, auto updates and highest screen res.
I was watching twitch for like 4 hours straight and used very little battery.
Unfortunatly i had a LG screen and got the green edges. So i got a new phone with BOE screen (checked with the hw app) . Transfered everything via phone clone and i instantly felt like something was wrong. I really feel like the battery is draining fast. Turned off auto updates and been messing around with the app launch settings. Just installed gsam battery monitor pro. Will post picture. Any help is welcome.

How to attach picture?
Hm, AnandTech review suggested that LG panel have high standby power use.
My new BOE Mate 20 pro has the same battery life of the previous 6 LG ones. 8hrs SOT to 10 depending on useage.
I'm still not convinced I'm getting anywhere near the same battery time.
I've got 5hrs SOT + 1hr 45 of Talk time and I'm down to 23%. Wish I had recorded either of my previous returns (LG) to compare against.

It wouldn't make so much difference..
Screen on time with 43% battery left, used GPS for 30 minutes, 20 minutes of YouTube, Slotomania game for 30 minutes. 3 short phone calls.
Pretty amazing I think.
Today's usage, been watching YouTube, and 3 hours of tv shows with Huawei video player. ?
Have you changed any settings or apps out of box? I barely got 7 hours today just browsing and YouTube with a few camera shots and 30 min talk time... Seems definitely lower than my LG screen. Oh and which resolution are you using? I'm full quad HD highest res possible.

I'm using full quad HD, vivid colours, default. All other applications are set to battery optimisation except for playstore, play services, glasswire, zetatorrents.
Everything else is pretty much standard out of the box.
Thanks and were you on Wi-Fi most the day as opposed to LTE?

Awesome, thanks. I've only had my phone a day and a half so 7 hours was still pretty good today though I was on LTE most of the day. I'm thinking it will get a little better in a day or so as everything settles in.

How can I do that?
Well, my experience is the same. I had two LG screen Mate 20 pro units and while the green glow was a nightmare, I never had any issues with battery life. I was surprised that the battery test result on GSM Arena was not good at all...
Then I got my replacement phone with BOE screen and while the screen is ok compared to the "green lantern" LG screen, it goes nowhere near the two devices I had in terms of battery life. The standby drain is enormous, screen on time only around 3-4 hours and the features most draining the battery is mobile signal and wifi and screen in hardware. I needed no optimization with my 2 LG units, while I hibernate apps here when screen off, I also switched off autosync, but still my standby drain overnight (approx. 6-7 hours) is about 12-16 per cent, which is another nightmare considering how majority of reviews boasted with super amazing battery life - and every reviewer got a Boe screen version of the phone I reckon, at least in our country. When I take it off the charger, I lose a percent every 5-7 minutes I have the screen on. I do not get it but it is a real disappointment. Today I switched off automatic 4g-3g-2g because my signal at home is rather poor, but I did not do anything with the LG unit and when I charged to 100 before I went to bed, I woke up 7 hours later with still 100...
