I didn't find any meaningful reviews on the battery life.
Does anyone know how it compares to other 10" Tablets like the Nexus10?

with Stamina mode On the battery is awesome for new xperias
:good:
Did you try it with Stamina Off? Is there a real difference? I won't have the stock Rom for too long...
And I'd really like to find a test with comparisons to other Tablets, because I want something objective.

You plan on a AOSP based ROM? If yes, know that every ROM that not based on stock fw will have worse battery, no matter the device, no matter how optimized it is (unless the stock was a absolutely ****).
If I realize the performance is worse with CM I'll look into stock Roms. But that is not the question.
Does nobody know of a professionally done Test that includes Battery performance compared to other tablets?
*edit* I finally found one review:
http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/30/sony-xperia-tablet-z-review/#title4
If someone has another source, I'm still looking forward to finding a second one.

Well thanks, I already found that review. The thing is they only compare the runtime to other phones which is pretty useless if youre looking for a 10" tablet...
Well on topic I can get about 8 hours of screen on time
At least a week on standby

Generally all reviews I've read so far report between 7 and a half and 8 hours of very intensive use (gaming, web surfing, FullHD video playback), being web surfing the most consuming. With moderate use, it seems it'd last good two days, especially with Stamina Mode on. I'll report first-hand once my unit is shipped.

Thanks for the information, this is exactly what I was looking for. Anyways, the tablet will be arriving shortly on my doorsteps...
Ive only been getting a bit more 4 hours of battery life watching 720p video at full brightness. Anyone else getting this? I think its kindve terrible for full brightness

For those of who play ingress you will be aware of the heavy load it gives to the phone/battery.
I was wondering if any of you have tried this game yet on the Z Ultra? How has it been? Any Gps issues? Battery ok?
I`m just curious really, looking forward in trying this out when I upgrade but considering my options at the moment.

Battery usage on the Ultra is pretty good. Its massive screen is obviously the biggest drawer of current. On a movie boot loop I got 6 hours. So with Ingress, I would expect similar results.
As far as the iPhone goes... my last iPhone was the 4S. It had the same battery performance as i got on my Galaxy S4. So apple don't have the advantage in battery.... in fact i switched to android because i couldn't see any advantage in staying apple..
I haven't played ingress on the Ultra.. only on the S4.
I want to know this too
I play ingress on my Note 2 with a build-in 3400 mA/H orginal size battery (instead 3100) for up to 6 hours. (I use a great custom rom, normal use without ingress is 3 days)
The ultra .... is a nice take away tv-screen phone great display but I think you can't play more than 2 hours ingress. the batery has only 3000 mA/H. The note 2 looks so tiny near the ultra :laugh:
My main concern really is how the GPS acts with this game, since it is gps orientated. I have a back up battery pack (like most players) but would like to know how the gps performs. #
I heard someone ran into some issues with the Note 3 and gps but wasn't sure if that was user / location specific.

Is this a joke? Android Authority rated the S5 with better battery life than G2 on most test cases...
Samsung Galaxy S5 triumphs in battery life tests
So what?
It also completely blows away the G2 in the gingerbread gradient department.

No idea about the s5 but, in those test results, the note 3 seems to compare favourably to the g2. My wife has a note 3 so I can quote from experience that the g2 crucifies the note 3 in every way regarding battery life.

Then get the s5. But I doubt it.
If you check the pictures better, you'll see it features the Korean LG G2 with 2610 mAh battery ... So, the international one should have a lot better battery life ...

It was a joke A lot of elements of the TouchWiz UI still have the same old gradients as they did in the gingerbread days. I can't stand them. They mix so poorly with rest of the design elements.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-battery-test/
The Galaxy S5 lasted over 21 hours of 3G calls. That puts it ahead of the HTC One (M8) by an hour, three ahead of the Galaxy Note 3, but well behind the impressive 25 hour result of the LG G2.

Yes it is better then G2, but only with super-duper ultra mega awsome stamina mode they have. With that mode you can just recieve calls on black display without knowing who is calling you
S5 brand new. G2 6 months old. Who cares? Do you honestly expect that in the extremely rapid turnover cycle which is cell phones, for one that's 6 months old to remain king forever? Everything you buy in electronics is generally outdated the day you buy it. Get over it. I'll have this phone for 3-4 years as long as I don't break it. It's a great phone and I really don't care that new phones are definitely going to beat it in specs.
S5 is a new generation phone, but i don't think it better battery life than G2, G2 too excellent.
I think the battery technology is at a plateau currently, the focus is now on energy efficient hardware.
Hi,
I could get S3 from a friend for 95$. All is okay but there is some dirt (like hay) under the display but this does not matter.
Is it still worth to get a S3 or should I stick with my S2 (poor battery and yellow-ish display). I don´t have much money atm because I have to buy some more things soon .
I tried the S3 now a few days and i like it very much, because of it´s good display and the brilliant battery life. My S2 battery life was so bad, few minutes display on and -15% battery.
I appreciate your help!

I have a S2 and my battery life is not so good, anyway... Is your choice I heard one bad thing about S3 and it's sometimes the phone has lag in the menu or something like that but I don't know why... So again if you like it, buy the phone AGAIN IS YOUR CHOICE
Moto G is better value
If you don't have a lot of money (and even if you have the S3 is still a very good machine. I'm pretty sure that not even one app exists in the Play Store which wouldn't run on the GS3. The only reason one I could imagine is a KitKat exclusive app, but no developer would do such a stupid thing.
The GS3 is superior to the S2 on every level. Neither the S4 nor the S5 is better enough to make me Switch. And with the new Generation of custom ROMs (Glamour for example) you even get all of the S5 features on the S3.
So: should someone still buy an S3? Hell, yeah!
Thanks for the answers!
@SAMPPLE I have rooted and greenified the S3 and i can´t feel any lag even with power saving
@boomboomer I want to stick with samsung or htc
@obdan_van_darg I will have a look at the glamour rom, thank you! And for KitKat we can upgrade to a custom-rom :victory:

For the money the Moto G, can't be beaten if I wasn't after a G3 I'd take one at the drop of a hat.
Why should i decide for the moto G? I have a Nexus 7, so i don´t need pure android on my phone
S3 is a better option to go with rather than sticking to S2 if the performance is really good and the price as well. Mainly check out the mobile speed and check out whether its not hanging.

well for $95 its a good deal now even more that you have a n7 so you dont need aosp.
for that price you can´t buy those low-mid end Samsung phones,(and tbh they are all almost the same, same hardware with one or dual sim and other sizes and other names *cofcof s3 mini,s4mini,sduos,s3slim,s3duos,s3neo,s4duos...*)
so yea, go with the s3 but see if you can get for $90 and then buy a cofee for you
Yeah i will see!

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 Note 9 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I am so happy with the battery life, it is so good after Note 8. This is the result after 4 days of usage with Note 9

This screen on time is pretty similar to what many get in Note 8 . So reviewers r right, there is very little or marginal battery life improvement as compared to N8 .

There are no reviews out. Just first impressions. And most are crap. Android Pit just posted on article where he got 9 hrs of SOT over the weekend. That is pretty damn good if that keeps up.
Note 9 seems to gain 1+ hour only of screen on time compared to note 8. Regulary my Note 8 when it reaches 30% my SOT becomes 3.30 at max brightness (seems like note 9 SOT becomes 4.30 SOT). My note 8 with optimisation delivers me 6.30-7 hours SOT with 16 hours usage (using both wifi and mobile data).
Its predictable since battery is 20% increased only.
Next year they should pull 5000 mah. Still good job,sammy.
I am pretty sure those who optimize there phones will gain more than this.

My point exactly there are no reviews out yet! Toms guide is not reliable at all!
Well come on 700 Mah more won't give you 2 hours SOT. Impossible. If your Phone lasts all day long (like me I get 6.30-8 Hour SOT in 16 hours period with black theme and optimization). Then no reason to upgrade, specially with barley any camera improvements or ui changes.
Josh from Android authority reported 5 hours SOT while taking too many pics during his day.

Nobody knows until it is in the hands of people and reviews come out from legitimate sources. So far I seen a huge improvement from different reviewers on Twitter who posted screenshots. Either way, if you don't want to upgrade that is fine. Nobody is forcing you too.
Also, Joshua Vergara had 40% left after that. So at least be honest!

Some facts may eventually turn out to be propaganda, maybe positive or negative.

Hey, I just did. Check out the video in my previous post.

Pretty cool but not impressive considering you can get the same battery life on Note 8 (6.30-8) with black theme and optimisation. Note 9 seems to give you 1+ more screen on time than the note 8 as expected from 20% battery increase.
The Note 9 had 15% battery compared to a dead s9+.
It all comes to day to day usage.
