With light use my battery barely moves.
My first day of real life use I had 70% remaining, that was with social media, 9 hours of work and 14 hours off the charger
are you guys leaving the always on display off? ive had mine for a few days coming from a pixel and this battery hasnt impressed me much. But granted ive had the always on, on.
I've turned mine off since day one

Honestly I think the AOD barely effects it. I have AOD on and after being off the charger for 3 hours with light use, a few texts and checking email, I've only gone down 1%.
HI All,
I have had my G6 since this Friday that pasted. I haven't had a phone this good for a long time. I previous owned a LG V10 and this phone just out performs all my other phones. Its fast has a battery life that i have very pleased with. So far I have played games most of the day and i make it home with about 20%. If i charge my phone while driving I have about 60% when i get home. I purchased Three anker USB C cables, they seem good but its a very snug fit.
I also have yoo tech glass on the phone which was a awesome deal.
I am using Spigen LG g6 Tough Armor its very small but strong.
sometimes on los 14.1 fastcharge isn't working. Else super fast.
endurance with los could be better
What is the longest standby time anyone has got from a full charge with light use? My max is just over 47 hours with very little use but I have some standby drain issues. Has anyone had this phone off the charger for 72 hours or more?
On light use honestly i get 6-8h of SoT and yeah i am not kiding.
Easily lasts me the whole day, although the drain can be variable even with seemingly the same usage pattern. But even under the worst scenario I am left at the end of a day with 30-40% left. So I charge every night-- what else can you ask for?
I'm easily getting 7:30am to 9pm with light to moderate use throughout the day and have 30% left.
With my daily moderate-to-heavy usage, I'm consistently getting at least 4-5 hours SoT with always-on display enabled and my brightness around 50%. Gets me through the day just fine. I usually get home with 20-30% remaining. If I use my device lightly, I could probably get at least 5-6 hours SoT.
I made it to 6hrs SoT today. I had music playing from Spotify in the background the entire day.

I hear people smart phone last about 2 days before needing to charge. That's approximately 48 hours of phone staying on. Lets be realistic here. How many hours do you get if you browse/stream online videos for about 2 hours, play games for 2 hours and 20 minute of calling a couple of text and email. How long does your phone actually last? Mines last only 4/5 hours and this is using it very heavy. If your phone really do last more than a day, does that mean you barely touch it? This is just something I always have in mind.. I have the Optimus slider from virgin mobile, and the battery sucks but if I barely touch it, I can get about maybe 11 hours.. Lol, I know that's laughable.
3-4 days usually i am not a heavy user ,moderate browsing, calling and texting on the heavyish side, i don't play games or stream videos
battery capacity is very good at 3500 mAh and the phone is excellent in terms of draining battery on standby, barely anything.
it could probably go to 5th day if i cared to use Eco mode (battery saving mode) but i always charge the pone when it falls bellow 40%
all in all i am happy with it + this is my first smartphone ever so i think its good compared to flip phones i used in the past.
Hi Everyone,
I'm just wondering if I have an issue or not. I've already went through one G5 which was severely overheating and was giving me less than 2 hours of screen on time within the first week. I'm on my second G5 now and have had it a little over a week, but the screen on time seems to be dropping drastically. When I first got it, I have a SOT of 5+ hours. Then it got progressively worse until yesterday it barely made it to 3 hours and today it was under 3 hours. I'm a fairly heavy user, but it seems like I can literally watch the battery percentage tick by when I have the screen on. In fact, it seems like it's markedly worse when the battery is under 50%. For example, today at 50% I had a SOT of about 2 hours 15 minutes, and then for the last 50% it was like 45 minutes TOPS before it was drained. My standby time is absolutely amazing, with it losing less that 1% in five hours.
I just don't know what to do. I have 5 more days before I can exchange it no questions asked. I just see some people with 7+ hours SOT and it seems like mine is heading in the opposite direction.
Cheers,
Bloody
3-4hrs of SOT is average/normal
3 hours of SOT is on par, or very slightly subpar, with other users. Some, like me, get a bit more, but just because i do not use Facebook, or games. You should consider which apps you are using, if there's something always on and in "Sync" it's gonna eat up the battery a bit more. If you game a lot, same. That said, this is not a huge battery, but it should be big enough to get to bed. Can i suggest maybe (i know its obvious...but!) cleaning up the recent apps, taking more care in switching on and off the wifi...this kind of things could get you 30+min more in a day which could be enough to get trough the night.
To answer your question, you probably have not a defective unit. If this SOT time is not even close to what you need, the brightness of the screen poses a big problem for you, and you don't care as much for the awesome camera compartment, or the swappable battery, and you dont hate touchwiz, and you can return it no question asked, the s7edge has better battery time, and higher brightness and saturation.
I average 3 hr SOT. It's normal. Total 13.75 hours on average with 5.5 hrs active.
With the brightness about 30%, I could have about 4 to 5 hours browsing web with wifi...

Currently my phone is showing me are remaining battery life period of three days at this point of 74% charge but I definitely know that it is not three days but still it is a very good standby after 2 days with this massive 5000 mAH battery , You can expect this kind of life definitely
Easily 8plus hrs sot on light usage
Kinda 10 % per hour drain
Insane
is a one word. I think I can do better though.
This is my light usage. Actually forgot to take other parts' screenshots but you can also check my other messages on "screen on time" thread. My SoT record was 16.5 h and this was my phone idle record.
Conservative user. PixyOS(05.feb)+Minimal Gapps+Darkberry V8
11 days standby with SOT of 10h. And yes I actually do use the phone. Everything disabled when not in use. Mainly 4G browsing, phone calls, music
I am about to buy The Max Pro M1 as a secondary phone only for gaming, watching youtube and email. However, I'd heard that there are some idle draining issues. Is it fixed already ?
Big thank.
On light usage at least 3 days without charge and 11-12 hours of SOT.
Easily lasts a day with full day data on and full night gaming upto 2 am. I rarely use charger before 2 am. I think they did a pretty good job on that one.

I might be tripping but my Note9 Doesn't last as long as my OP6. I run the same apps and similar settings and my note last me about 5-6 hours my OP6 Last 6-7 hours. All this with heavy usage and the OP has a lower battery capacity.
I feel like heavy use and light use consumption is around the same and get 5-6 hours SOT regardless. Browsing and using the Samsung Music app seems to drain around 1% every 5 minutes. I was expecting the battery to drain a lot faster with games but it's more subtle than I thought. Yesterday I didn't game much but used S-pen to take notes, and got 6 hours 21 minutes SOT with 6% left, within 10 hours of total usage (resolution was QHD+ most of the day). Today with some heavy gaming (Real Racing forced to QHD resolution with Game Tuner, as well as Bowling by Jason Belmonte, Alto's Odyssey) I got around 5:48 SOT in 11 hours 25 minutes (started to reduce the resolution to FHD+ around 30%).
I'm going to kill the battery in my Note 9, eventually. It's my daily workhorse. Multiple Gmail accounts, work email, continuous use throughout the day, 3 games that I check upon every hour and a half... Should last about a year by my estimate. Oh well. Phones come and go...
Heavy use endurance is okay in this phone but light usage endurance is not good. You lose %15 in a hour just by 9gag browsing.

Sadly, samsung put a lot of effort for this not to happen. Right now it's not really possible outside of a friend that don't play fortnite and lend you his phone to login with your account and play atleast 3 full matches.
I find camera and SoundHound to drain a lot. I can barely break 4.5-5h SOT if I use the camera for over 50 minutes. The other day I was trying to see if SoundHound could identify songs from my bad singing while wireless charging and the percentage actually went down.

IMHO, the fortnite skin you get is garbage. Should have given in game money instead. Or at least pub g. I play both on my N9 with the latter getting more SOT
Recently got my Note 9 a week ago and battery has been about average as compared to my last phone. I can last 5-6 hrs of heavy use and 7 for light use. Mind you my last phone was the Galaxy A7 (2017) and battery on that thing is nuts. 7 on a heavy and 8-9 in light use. Might probably due to I game more on my note rather than my last phone.
Off topic question, was playing ragnarok mobile on my note while fast charging when I suddenly fell asleep. Woke up 4 hours later game was still on and the battery is now at 83%. Will this massively damage the battery of my phone?

Fast charging works up till 80% then it will switch to normal charging (and the 80-100% are always different charging method that is slower + better for the battery longevity). You are fine, nothing will change about your battery health. I would be more concerned about burn-ins/burn-outs, but you played most likely at lower brightness and surely not in overdrive mode = you will be just fine too.
Edit: also I forgot to mention that samsungs don't fast charge when the screen is on, only when the screen is off = it charged slowly normally and that's why it reached only to 83% (as because of the battery use, the actual + in the charge was lower than the 2A in normal charge/~500-1A in the last 20%). All good, as I said, don't worry.

Note 9 has a big and brighter screen and a lot of bells and whistles
I guess that makes sense. The bigger brighter screen could be the culprit.
I can go a day (8am to 12pm) of moderate-heavy use with some battery left over. I'm taking 5-6 hours of SOT (WhatsApp, Internet, RadioPlayer Canada, Google Maps, Twitter, Fallout Shelter). This is despite the phone not being entirely optimized for battery life besides using the Device Maintenance feature (I have wifi and data on, bluetooth, location, high resolution, automatic brightness).
The battery actually kind of sucked when I first got it lol. But it randomly improved a lot.
My SoT with heavy usage is just amazing 6-7 hours without a problem!
Has anyone used the dual sim always active feature? Im assuming it drains battery far faster, especially with extended use
ok here is the deal. games will drain the battery less than previous phones do to more efficent cpu.
however anything else didnt change at all or got even worse.
any wireless connection, sensors, screen (even worse), will be the same as in any other phone. so this is where the battery kicks in and gives us a bit more leway. yet it ahs to compensate for the insane screen. so our SOTs are pretty good.
biggest issue is google and google services as usual. with their insane collection of data we litereally pay for them collecting our data. and thats not just a little bit, its over 1000 datapoints an hour.
that was the main reason i wanted to switch to apple, but after a day in hell i gave up on the fruit ****show. way to many compromises.
however at the end of the day what really kilsl the battery is energy for the screen itself and all kind of data connections.
the cpu cycles are laughable for most games, those cpus are powerhouses, almost PC level
so turn of wlan, turn of gps whereever you dont need it, same for bluetooth, cut down on syncing services as much you can this helps a lot.
also gmail is aweful in their push services. i tossed it out, i run exchange active sync and its fine

How's your screen after the 22 hour marathon? Any screen burn in? Ghosting? What brightness do you keep it at?
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 8 Pro before depleting the battery.

Light to medium usage. Mostly browsing on wifi. 120hz fhd, 1st full charge.
Can't upload the screenshot, but I got 3.5h SOT with 12h off charger and 53% left.
Very satisfied, coming from s10+ exynos, which would already be below 40% with this kind of usage.
4h15 with 120hz qhd quite heavy usage alot of gaming installing apps. And Twitter
Do you guys are running last update? Someone said with new update battery lasts longer
Yep, updated in the meantime to 10.5.4 and it seems that battery lasts even longer. I thought it maybe the second full charge, but it might be effect of the update as well.
Right now at 72%, FHD 120Hz, with 2:35 screentime, 10h off charger. I would say 9h SOT should be attainable.
Hi, here are my stats. Keep in mind I'm always on QHD+ 120Hz with 50-80% brightness and Wi-Fi enabled.
1st charge (16/04): 5h40 (Heavy usage, even got overheating alert during transfer with OnePlus Switch)
2nd charge (17/04): 7h20 (on fw 10.5.4, which seems to improve the battery), with 5 hours of "Darkness Rises" and 2+ hours of YouTube
3rd charge (18/04): 7h10, 4+ hours of YouTube, ~2 hours of social apps.
Never got that much with my 7 Pro or my 6T.
Overall not too impressed. Seems a lot lower than many of you guys are getting. This is the second day of use. Day one was a similar story. Ended the day at 30% with less than 4 hours SOT. QHD+, 120hz, medium-high brightness, almost all on 5G, latest 10.5.4 update. My 6T with a custom kernel would get twice as much SOT and end the day at about 25-30%. I get I'm asking a lot more of the battery here, but it should be better no?
Not bad so far ,from 100 to 48% was all.on 4G,then from 48 to 23 mainly WiFi,screen set 120 Hz QHD

I'm also having 6T..
Don't expect this battery life .. you'll never get the battery from 6T..
Don't forget that 6T is 60hz, FHD, 4G,
OP8pro 120hz, QHD, 5G( 5g is Battery eater) ...
Have to admit that battery life is disappointing me..
I've got 8h with 120hz + qhd in auto, wifi . Games + normal usage.
Had one full charge... currently sitting at 25% battery remaining, 24 hours since last full charge (forgot to switch the socket on last night!), 3hrs 43mins screen time. Regular usage, mainly business, social media and a bit of gaming.

Yeah I think the main culprit is the 5G. Until now I've had the phone at work during the week and stayed on 5G. Today I'm on WiFi and it seems a lot better already. Pretty early still so we will see.
As I do not have 5g in my area or a 5 g SIM ,I have changed my network settings to 4g/3g only
About 6.5 hours SOT. Just normal use (I dont game)
Getting better ,this is just in wifi today and battry use over night is a trickle
9 + hours. 2 days
WiFi
4G
Location
BT 1 device
120Hz @fhd (literally no point using QHD)
Calls
Text
App usage in screen shots.
Pure stock 5.5 BA
Pretty sure I can break 10 hours.
Battery saver came on at 10%
Yet another long SOT, I've been stuck in the house but have played a few games, been on WhatsApp, XDA telegram and slack throughout the day.
WiFi and 4G always on.
Not going any lower than 10%
I think with device learning and optimised updates for the OS and chipset that these SOT scores will only improve.
Some more stats, all of this on 4G no WiFi use .I thinks it's easily a 7 hr SOT device ,more if using WiFi

You using QHD or FHD? Honestly I don't see a benefit to QHD, turn it off.
Oh and do not charge overnight mate. Trust me.
