Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

Not very impressive. When I'm playing games like Pokemon Go, the use isn't any different from other phones. While the phone have 4k battery, the advantage isn't that clear cut.
I have a different view, when I've been playing say Hearthstone for 3 hours, I don't see any heavy drain of the battery, the drain is similar to normal web browsing.
Our differences could easily be tributed to signal strength.
For me the heavy usage endurance was not that good! Even with normal usage that includes mail, WhatsApp, some browsing, and calls for like 2 hours, I could only get 6 hours of usage! Thereafter I had to charge! And this was quite continuous usage.

With a 5.7 inch 2k screen, that's quite good. I feel so.

Good Endurance for me
I have been testing it with multiple games, running benchmarks , watching videos and making calls etc.. The drain is very minimal compared to other phones I used. The battery lasts more than a day under normal usage. My normal usage includes watching youtube videos, few hours of gaming and whatsapp/facebook . So I think for a phone with big 2k display, its doing a wonderful job!

i guess i need to clarify my post/ feedback. for me... it's nothing special impressive. not to say it's bad, but just that it's performing like it should with other phones. it's not draining battery but i'm also not seeing extra endurance on this phone even though it packs a 4K battery.
i guess it's partly to do with the 2K screen.
and yes, if i'm not going on sth resource intensive like PoGo, the phone can actually last me the day.
Dissapointing
Below average ,even my old RN3's battery out wins it ,same game ,similar handling ,of course there is an QHD resolution factor ,but Honor 8 pro's battery ,one word ,inferior

The 2k screen has its effect on battery. It's not inferior per se but it's also not brilliant. It's so so.
I am expecting the future updates to improve the battery performance.

If you use this phone without a break, it can easily achiever 10 hrs of SOT.

The longest I've gotten was just under 6 and a half hours with 9% battery left when I plugged in
Sent from my KIW-L24 using XDA-Developers mobile app
8 hr screen on time with moderate use
Great battery life
If I use my honor 5x moderately, I get around 5.5-6 hrs SOT. under heavier use it's usually 3-4 hours.
also battery would last a full 24-hr day with normal use and recharging would take ~3hrs.
Wow, this 5x is a beast on SOT.
5.5hours of sot 4me on average usage
Giving me 1 day usage
just pulled 5hrs sot
dual sim mode,
4g active
hostsopt and vpn was active around 1hr
rest all goes to insragram and xda app and some gaming
That's fantastic
The battery has been extremely amazing, I got this phone and got rid of my Nexus 5x. It was an upgrade in this category.

I do understand
Best one so far, 7.5 hours. Location, 4G, lots of browsing. Running B350. I don't know if that amount of awake time is normal - like my phone isn't sleeping unless I turn wifi off...
Now With 4G ON 24 x 7, I'm getting a day exactly on normal usage.
With my stock 2A charger, it gets charged by 2hrs.
moving post to correct thread.
Quite good
With a lot of ROMs ( RR, crdoid,...) getting 4h30/5h SOT with still 30% left.
Of course i use forcedoze and frooze some system apps like devtools,inputdevices,timeservice and keychain.

Really depends how you use. Example, if I have Bluetooth on always for Mi Band 2 connection, then it's about 3-5 hours. When it's off, it's 5-6 or even more hours. Coming from Samsung s6 it's real improvement.

I am thinking about getting a XC as backup phone but wondering how long is SOT while playing games and if it gets hot.

Are you going to buy a backup phone for playing games...? It will definately be fine though. It does not get hot and it's faster than you think.

Well the games I am looking at is mainly puzzle games, just worried mainly about performance since previous main phone was a xperia m4 aqua that couldn't do plain games and overheated. So I got myself a new main phone, axon7 and handles everything I toss at it but I still want a small and comfy phone for easy use on the go.

Go for the X Compact without a second thought. It has nothing to do with the M series by Sony, and handles everything in a surprisingly stable way.

Usually 2:30/3 hours of SoT.
Sadly Phone Idle process is a monster in battery draining. Never had more than 3 hours and half, even without playing games or watching videos.

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under light use.

Have to say... On light use, the 4k battery is really obvious. It's like a Duracell bunny going all day...
It can easily give last more than 24 hours on light use.

I don't play games, just lots of web surfing and other app usage, and I usually have 4-5 hrs SOT while using about 50% battery. This is with the Nov update. LTE data always enabled.
I watch a lot of YouTube videos and surf a lot. Everyday 9-10hrs screen on time (that is if I wait till battery depletes to 0). Battery life is phenomenal.
I can't reach more than 4 hours... maybe you guys only use it for reading ebooks? XD
battery life depends on screen brightness also.
there are many things which can effect battery life like,
no. of apps installed, screen brightness, wifi scanning always available ON/OFF etc.
i have one A1 (rose gold) which is used by my wife, is made in india. and she is getting good battery backup.
i am going to recieve mine (black) on this sunday, will compare both after that and post here.
(comparing both will be a good idea as rose gold is made in india and black should be made in china)

9 hours + Sot is simply amazing
Unbelievable
I'm using Zenfone max pro m1 I do usally have god & mobile data on all time for me it is just 5 hours to 6hours !
And to be frank I fell this is similar or less to my previous Redmi note 4 !!
Was expecting more I think all due to miui optimisation
im getting insane 12 Hours SOT....maybe bcz im using only a single 4g sim and wifi most of the time but this is still great battery backup
I got this one.
Good enough for me.
Great battery life with 45mins of gaming, lots of YouTube,browsing, chatting, camera,etc with 4G connection full time 4G connection.
Getting great screen-on time with Asus Pro M1, best I have seen in my experience of use on any Android Device. Getting SOT of over 12 hours plus with 33 percent battery still left in the tank. My usage has been 90 percent of the time on WiFi and 10 Percent on 4g , with continues browsing , updating of all the old apps, few pics, streaming 15mins of youtube and checking msgs on WhatsApp with display brightness set to 20 percent, Rest all of the apps in the background are disabled to use any data or notifications turned off and battery saver n data saver both enabled . This device is absolutely beast in terms of battery life, fantastic for any kind of user, I am expecting to hit close to 14:30 hrs to 15 hrs SOT with such usage.
Using this phone today for heavy gaming such as arena of valor, crossfire legends, and pubg. And also streaming music from soundcloud on my trip, it takes 4 hours streaming. On 4g mostly. So yeah, it's my heaviest usage I guess.
Looking good though.

Looking good you say ? My Mi Max 2 could do 12-15hours of SoT. Looks like Pro M1 doesn't optimised well even tho its 5000mah but last just like the Redmi Note 4 with 4000mah..Too bad asus..too bad. Hoping for MiUI rom for it

No, it's my heavy usage test. That usage test based mostly on gaming and music streaming for long time. I'm not testing the normal usage yet.
And I've used Nokia Lumia 640 XL. Trust me. The battery performance is on par with this phone when I used it also for gaming. And for normal usage, the battery backup is enough for 2 days (which is I haven't tested on my asus yet). Better than redmi note 3 imo.
