OK, I think given the large screen, many of us were hoping for a bigger battery. Does google finally know something we don't know? Because they sure didn't with the gnex, nexus 4, and nexus 5.
Will art plus amoled plus the Snapdragon 805 come to the rescue?
Let's hear your most technical speculation!

On the official Google spec page, they rate it 12% more life than the N5 (running 4.x) on wifi browsing, people can figure out the real life usage hours from that.
That's a good point.
The nexus 5 page says this:
Talk time up to 17 hours*
Standby time up to 300 hours*
Internet time up to 8.5 hours on Wi-Fi, up to 7 hours on LTE*
The nexus 6 page in the same battery section has this to say:
Standby time (Ambient Display on ): up to 250 hours
Standby time (Ambient Display off): up to 330 hours
Internet use time (Wi-Fi): up to 9.5 hours
Internet use time (LTE): up to 10 hours
Talk time: up to 24 hours
Video playback: up to 10 hours
I take it the ambient display thing is like the moto x.

What would be the reasoning for getting better battery life on LTE versus WiFi browsing?

I'm guessing this would have a lot to do with signal strength, which Band you are using, etc. etc. Also, probably just advancements in the way you receive cellular data may have improved over the past year by a bit and made it more battery friendly than WiFi. We will find out in less than a month when we have our Nexus 6 in our hands.

Nexus 5 standby time 300 hours LOL
OK I've done the numbers, and according to Google's figures, the Nexus 6 should achieve roughly 5.5 hours of SOT.. Roughly 10% worse than a G3. Here is how I estimated it:
Official Nexus 6 page
Standby time (Ambient Display on ) up to 250 hours
Standby time (Ambient Display off) up to 330 hours
Internet use time (Wi-Fi) up to 9.5 hours
Internet use time (LTE) up to 10 hours
Talk time up to 24 hours

Official Nexus 5 page (The numbers in brackets I added to show improvement over N5)
Talk time up to 17 hours* (41% improvement)
Standby time up to 300 hours† (10% improvement)
Internet use time up to 8.5 hours on Wi-Fi (12% improvement)
Internet use time up to 7 hours on LTE (42% improvement)
Click to expand...

The battery life improvements range from 10-42% better than the Nexus 5, esp in LTE and talk time, probably a more efficient baseband / radio. The % is important, because the actual numbers are nonsense, there's no way a Nexus 5 gets 8.5 hours of Wifi browsing, mine would be lucky to get 3 hours in a dim room, I'm sure many would agree.
So we take this one step further and interpolate based on GSMArena and PhoneArena's battery tests, using Google's own figures for talk and wi-fi browsing, this gives us the following figures.
GSMArena figures:
Galaxy Note 4 – 28h 34m talk, 10h 44m web browsing
OnePlus One – 19h 56m talk, 9h 46m web browsing
LG G3 – 25h 54m talk, 6h 40m web browsing
Nexus 5 – 16h 4m talk, 4h 46m web browsing
Nexus 6 – 22h 39m talk, 5h 20m web browsing (calculated)
PhoneArena figures:
Galaxy Note 4 – 8h 43m
OnePlus One – 8h 5m
LG G3 – 6h 14m
Nexus 5 – 4h 50m
Nexus 6 – 5h 24m (calculated)
A few important notes:
* Even the two third party sites listed above are quite generous, nobody gets 4hr 50m SOT on a Nexus 5, so maybe the SOT of the Nexus 6 is less than 5 hours, but I just want to present the data as I see it.
* The Nexus 5 figures Google gave are same as last year's release figures, so in other words, 4.4.2, not 5.0, which means no Project Volta improvements. The N6 figures will be running 5.0. Therefore, the difference between the N5 when it finally gets 5.0 and the N6 might be less than 12%.
* Google's figures are likely skewed because they put the phone in airplane mode for the wifi test. Plus scripted tests generally wouldn't show digitizer activation and associated governor ramping, like a real-world test would. Google are very keen to point out this is all on pre-production software/hardware. I'm also sure that they will go all out on software optimisation later on and quietly update the battery estimates.
* The figures Google provide are results-based, not spec based. So for those people who say 'Oh, a phone with this screen, and this battery, should last this much', is irrelevant, because there's hundreds of other factors which affect battery life, and the only reliable way is to get final test results.
* I don't think 5 hours SOT is bad by any means. Last year's battery king, the LG G2, averaged around that I believe.
No Motorola phone (except the Maxx) and no Nexus phone has had better than average in class battery life, there is no reason to expect this one to. If L has improvements due to Volta (which is more of am API change really), they will apply even more to the real battery champs like Note 3/4, G2/3.
I fully expect Nexus 6 has far less real world battery life than the Note 4, it won't even be close. Note phones last 2 days for all but the heaviest users, there's no way a Nexus 6 will. Of course I may be wrong, lets see.
I think it will last as long as a Note 4 if not more because of the fact that it will be running stock Android 5.0 as opposed to a skinned version and all of the other Samsung bloatware. Hoping I am right lol Besides, those custom kernels though

The Nexus 6" will likely last just as long as the note 4 ( Same Battery / Same SoC / Same RAM ) however any fact that touchwhizz pointless apps that start on boot will eat your battery will be out weighed by the extra size of the Nexus's screen.
Also i don't think kernels pay much difference as people think they do anymore, after all anything a Dev here can do Sammy/Google/Moto can do the same and have their reasons for including or not including stuff.
Its all Placebo use it as a Phone/PDA/Browser im sure it will last as advertised, play 30 mins of a game every day and Im sure it won't
Anyone know if its lithium ion or polymer inside the nexus?
I think the Nexus 6 is gonna be the be the new benchmark for high end phones battery life.
I'm hoping for note 4 life. Compared to the nexus 5 soc the adreno 420 is supposed to be 20% better power consumption for the same performance on graphically intensive tasks (Qualcomm quote) the 805 is supposed to be mildly more efficient than the 800. I'm thinking like 5% based on comparisons between the 800 and 801. 801 to 805 doesn't have much of a change power wise.
Meanwhile art run time and Android 5 could be good for 10 to 15 percent compared to the present Kk nexus 5.

It has a 3220 battery (same as Note 4)
It will have a screen that isn't as bright as the Note 4.
It won't have all the running bloat that the note 4 has.
It will have Android Lollipop which improves battery life further.
Nexus 6 will also have much a better radio, which will use less battery too!
I have no doubt at all, that the Nexus 6 will be a new benchmark for high end phones, both in performance AND battery life.
Compare the battery life to the Snapdragon 805 version of the G3

A N6 with a properly set up custom kernel will have far better battery life than a Note 4 on stock software.
"Battery life speculation thread"
I've seen it all.
I think that we must remember that GS4 9505 had a better battery life than the GPe despite the fact that they were identical and GS4 9505 was running TW.
Stock Android is not as optimised as TW when it comes to battery life IMHO.

We're talking about comparing stock, not custom kernels etc. Stock N3/N4 gets 2 days. TouchWiz gets a bad rap for being bloated, but in fact its pretty well optimized for the hardware it runs on.

After 2 weeks of using the 3G version of the Note 8 (GT-N5100), I could say a full battery charge gives me at least 7 hours of actual screen time for a 16-hour stretch for the day, using it for light to medium apps and social network sites. I also do drawing using Adobe Photoshop Touch, Autodesk Sketchbook Ink and Sketchbook Pro.
This is my first tablet as I think its compact size and weight is more ideal than the heavier Note 10.1. I simply love digital drawing with the Note 8. I'm coming from a Note II and the bigger screen just gives me more area for line strokes.
7 hours of actual screen time isn't a wow for me as I do my torrent downloads with my Note II with also the same screen time and be able to change to a fresh battery usually in 12 hours. I just find plugging in the Note 8 in the late afternoon to be confident that it really doesn't die on me for an evening in a cafe.
Some 80% of the charge goes to maintaning the TFT screen! Is this normal for TFT screens to guzzle up that much power? I set my brightness to 30% and even set it to power saving mode. Still the screen is the main battery drainer.
Anyway, I set up this thread in the hopes that people can share how to best optimize the battery with proven sound practices.

My Note II only takes roughly 30% of battery charge usage. I'm guessing AMOLED is just more efficient than TFT screen.

What I noticed... the time shown in battery statistics seems to be wrong.
I was also getting approx. 5 hours on battery according to battery statistics. But this felt wrong for me. So I fully charged my Note 8 -> Usage statistic showed 0 hours. Then I was playing and reading for 2 hours (display always on, no reboots). But statistics where showing something around 1 hour and a few minutes. So don't trust your device.

Screen on time tells only part of the story. Its what you're doing with the screen that matters. Browsing and videos will drain the battery faster than reading a book.

It also depends on what apps have sync/auto update features turned on. I used my Note 8 on Mothers day to watch movies and I was able to watch 3 full movies and still had 30% left. Beanstown will be posting a rom soon and battery life we only improve.

That's normal. I sometimes get 6 hours+ screen on, other times with 7 hours screen on time. I have yetto serif this baby can make it over 9 hours screenon. I'm trying out Greenify app as it hibernates apps from wake-ups to sync. I'll let everyone how it's working out in a few days.
Still, the majority of the power would still go to the screen. Having a dark theme wouldn't help as the ambient lighting would still take the same amount of power. It's there a way to turn off half the LED lights? I really wished the screen is really Super AMOLED for energy efficiency.
I still find the Note 8 handy as a sketching device.

Point being that if you get 6 hours of screen time and I get 9 hours of screen time, doesn't mean that my battery life is better than yours. I was at 8 hours screen time at 25% battery last night, but I'm not going to say that this is average for me. Depending on my specific usage, I can get anywhere from 6 to 10 hours of screen time. This is why user reported battery life must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
I dozed off and forgot to charge my Note 8 last night. My stats below show a 24-hour unplugged use with phone, wifi and bluetooth on. I had used my Note 8 with 4 hours of screen on time with just Chrome browsing, a few minutes of S Note, and 5 22-minute tv episodes.

I still had 35% of battery left. I use Greenify to have my wakeups off when screen is off. It also hibernates apps if you don't activate them, like my Facebook doesn't update unless I check.
The screen still is the highest consumer of battery reserves at nearing 80%. I usually have auto brightness or keep it at 30% bright. Is there a way to reduce the power consumption further other than tune the brightness down?

Also, take a look at Civato's kernel in the dev forum. To install it you need to first install Clockwork (I used Odin for that), then boot into your new custom recovery and flash the zip file.
The kernel supports underclocking (down to 100 mhz at cpu idle) and undervolting as well as a ~20% overclock and some other very nice features.
It's been stable for me using a 75 mvolt underclock, and I use some governor tweaks to avoid spinning the CPUs too hard when they're working on "nice" processes.
My battery life is often in the 9-10 hour range.

9-10 screen on. And my impression this weekend was that if I leave wifi off, longer than that.
Most of my use is evening, so minimal screen brightness. And probably 70% reading, rather than primarily videos.

Good. I carry my Note 8 as a secondary device with my Note II as my primary device for communications and downloading torrents on the go. When I do need a bigger screen, I transfer media via wifi-direct. The 8 pretty much is my drawing tablet and productive tool for thinking through sketching architectural ideas. I still switch to paper for permanent recording on my sketchbooks.
8 hours isn't that good for me. I wish the screen consumption shouldn't reach to 80%.
rooted stock Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5100
I've found the battery life to be much better than anticipated. but since i've mostly been using away from home, I've had all the connections turned off and when I am at home I have auto airoplane mode activated that turns off the connections when the screen is turned off.
I also have been using the power saving mode at all times other than when playing graphics intensive games as I have no need for intensive CPU usage when browsing, drawing or taking notes etc...
Im hoping that when I root and add some custom profiles my batterylife will improve further.
I had the time to test out the Note 8's battery life on a continuous usage with mainly browsing, note and sketching with the S Note for 3 hours, about an hour's with of video watching, wifi and bluetooth connected. I've had 7 hours of actual screen on over an 8 hour period, from 8 am to 4 pm with 5% of battery left. I didn't want to fully drain it to avoid ruining the battery charging capability.
I had the screen at only 20% brightness with phone function on. The battery could be easily be drained in about 4 hours if with a brighter screen and heavier processor based tasks like games. The screen still ate away 80% of the battery charge despite being toned down to a 20% screen brightness.

Does anyone feel like their Note 2 gave them significantly better battery life??? I have the Sprint variant Note 3 and 2, and my note 3 after just 2.75 hours on time, and only being awake 4 hrs 20 minutes, is down to 62% already!! I have disabled so many things, what is sipping my battery?? The on time wasnt even gaming time, just web browsing or texting...
I used to get 10% out of every hour on for my Note 2, and would only lose about 3-5% overnight. Now Im dropping like 2-3% an hour, and couldnt even approach the 75 hour stress test that I read this phone could achieve.
Anyway, any help would be appreciated...

Check your apps, something is keeping it awake. Better battery stats, battery mix and battery in settings. One of those will give you your answer. It's not N3 vs N2, it's just apps. I get 5-6 hours on screen time at 33% brightness while always on LTE or wifi. Also disabling GPS, rooting, using greenify, will all help. You should give more info on what settings/apps you use.

This is true, no lie. I can Game heavy 3D games, 2D games, Kakao, surf the web a lot, take a few calls, send lots of text messages, do facebook and various others. and still last a full day.
If its light use its very similar with the guy above. Just strictly kakao/fb/whatsapp, web browsing. play with settings.
Plus the phone never heats up UNLESS I play intensive 3D games.
I have to agree...my note 2 was better for battery. Same apps...bascially same settings and usage is pretty predictable in my case. I never worried about battery on my N2...I just ordered the samsung battery and charge kit for my N3 if that tells you anything.
And i do have better battery and gsam installed..nothing really stands out as a batt killer.
Last night I charged both notes to 100 and then unplugged and left them
Note 2 dropped from 100 to 92
Note 3 dropped from 100 to 73

With all sensors running, no bloat removed, I am getting above 7gr screen time with 24hr usage. On note 2, I could barely get 5hr mark.
Note 2 was great in battery until 4.1.1. 4.1.2 has dropped battery life a lot and this was the case with most people.
Now only problem with note 3 is that battery drains a bit overnight. You leave it at 100% and when u wake up, you could be at 95%. Is that a note 3 fault? Nooo, its the fault of 4.3. When I updated the 4.3 on n2 battery started getting worse on overnight. Actually in 4

Hi guys.
I've had the Note 3 for some days now and I gotta admit, I'm having a hard time getting thru one day with heavy usage. I went from my Galaxy S II which held an entire day with moderate usage(with custom kernel+rom tho) expecting to never, ever worry about battery life no matter what but the truth is, that it is much harder to get thru a day now. I dont know if it's my phone or just a general 'issue' but I expected it to last much longer than it does.
**I've done a few test as you can see here**

I just reinstalled everything, again, and did another test. Havent touched any app at all but YouTube. Wifi and GPS were on as default and didnt touch that. I opened YouTube and played a 2 hour movie with auto brightness and 50% media volume. This was the outcome

The red line shows when the video stopped. So it drained 20% battery on 2 hours.

What do you think of this, how is your battery life and are you satisfied with it?
I'm wondering if I should send mine in for repair, but I dont know if its my device or just pretty normal of a Note 3...
I have bad battery on mine too

Hi guys.
I've had the Note 3 for some days now and I gotta admit, I'm having a hard time getting thru one day with heavy usage. I went from my Galaxy S II which held an entire day with moderate usage(with custom kernel+rom tho) expecting to never, ever worry about battery life no matter what but the truth is, that it is much harder to get thru a day now. I dont know if it's my phone or just a general 'issue' but I expected it to last much longer than it does.

Phenomenal battery life.
My S4 would be dead in 8 hours whereas N3 has a good 40% remaining.
I'm not rooted.
I'm on 4G & have medium to heavy usage.
I have very good battery life (with auto sync, data & wifi always on, etc...).
But I did some actions: root -> Greenify all apps which do not need really background interaction.
Turn down the screen brightness.
If I watch a video for 3.5 hours on full brightness it eats 45%. Same parameters but with brightness at 30%, it uses only 19%.
Also, get rid of Touchwiz.
I'm quite pleased with the battery life. I unplig at 100% at 2200, get up at 0440 (ah the joys of Public transport...) and when I get home at 2015, it'll be around 40%. I religiously check the railway planner every 15 minutes, email every 30min, take notes and watch films.
That said I did buy a 15600mah powerpack. Public transport is not know for its reliability here, so I need a backup plan. Particularly with the oncoming annual apocalypse dubbed 'snow'.

It's not bad so far. Though I haven't been keeping any real track of usage and battery stats so far. I'm only on my second charge, and I've been tweaking the phone to my liking and installing the X-NOTE ROM. After this initial tweaking and fiddling period I'll get a better idea about the battery life in day to day usage.
I come from a Note 2 and so far I'd say it's about the same.
I read a post by X-NOTE developer soloilmeglio where he said that the stock kernel for new firmware version MJ6 seems much more tweaked for battery life, so that sounds great. I'm on MJ3 now, waiting for his MJ6 build.
During the first 10 days I was disappointed (I previously had a s3). But now after several refills I'll say the Gn3 battery gives about 40-50% more autonomy than the s3 did. From my experience it's a good thing to charge only when you reach 15% and to run a full charge without using the phone.
Currently with a full charge and a heavy usage it's ok for two days. Most of the time I reach 3 days. That's not far from 1 more day than what the s3 did.

I bought this device last Thursday so it's been 9 days now. I need to probably spend another 10 days.
I have to say, as a power user, I'm not very impressed yet. Coming from an S3 (3G), I expected a significant "road warrior" bump but I'm just lasting a full day. When I heard reviewers going on 3 day weekends where they used the Note 2 and it lasted easily 2 days, I expected the same with the Note 3.
My work day is 0600 - 1630. With my S3 in moderate/heavy usage pattern I got home with maybe 15% remaining. With light/moderate usage, I'm home with 30%.
With the Note 3, my moderate/heavy pattern gives me 25% battery remaining for home. Haven't done light moderate yet. Estimate maybe 45% battery will remain.
In both cases we're talking about 3.5 hours on screen time heavy usage. 1.5 hours light usage.
Of course it should be noted that I'm comparing a 3G device to a 4G device. Also, EE 4G in London seems to have pretty week mobile signals or the Note 3 just has a meek radio. I'm really hoping that this improves after more charge cycles and/or updates. I want to be able to have a average screen on time of 4 hours and still go home with 35% remaining so I can still use the phone for the rest of the evening before bed.

Just wanted to update:
So I did a few testing sessions and have come to the conclusion that my biggest battery drainer for me: Auto Brightness.
Now after 2 days of setting the brightness manually (roughly to 15%) my battery life has definitely improved dramatically.
I'm getting over 3hrs screen on, heavy usage with 40%+ remaining at the end of a work day.
Today, I've had almost 4.5hrs screen on, heavy heavy usage (a lot of 4G, played the new free Asphalt, huge amount of web browsing) and the phone was at 5% before I finally charged it around 9pm. Not bad considering I had 4G, Wifi, GPS, NFC and Auto-Sync on all day today and listened to almost 1 hour worth of podcasts on my commute so the device was awake for a long time.
I suspect manual settings of brightness at 25% would give pretty good battery life as well but not necessary when you're indoors with lights.
Maybe still not a 3 day phone I think but with [my] light usage it will definitely be a 2 day phone.
Mine is great

Hence why when I am within a Hot Spot I switch to GSM network for full bars more or less which also conserves battery.
The Droid Turbo features a 3900mah battery while the Note 4 features a 3220mah battery and a larger screen. However, testing shows that the Droid Turbo has worse battery efficiency than the Note 4., despite the Note 4's apparent disadvantages. So either the Droid Turbo has a more inefficient screen(since Samsung keeps top tier panels to themselves) or the battery capacity range is limited to improve longevity with the provided turbo charger. The only other screen that has a pixel density close the Droid Turbo is the Galaxy S5 LTE-a, so it seems unlikely that Droid turbo is using an outdated display(?).

Your understanding and results of the things are wrong, no single page says that Note 4 has better longevity than Droid Turbo, besides, the source you are posting says that Turbo performs better than Note 4: Turbo has a 90h endurance rating while the Note 4 has 87h. In PhoneArena you have similar results, the Turbo lasted for 10h 42m while the Note 4 lasted 8h 43m. Another test made in Tom's Guide page says the same, the Note 4 is behind in terms of battery life.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/benchmarks (Battery life)
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/droid-turbo-battery-life,news-19846.html
In short, there is no way that the Note 4 achieves better battery life than the Turbo, because of the screen size in first place, and the shorter battery in second.
:good:
Yeah the Turbo outlasts everything else. Plenty of reviews state it. However I do agree that the battery life is still somewhat underwhelming. My theory is that the phone does have pretty significant idle drain, so this drain will be going along all day, even stronger when in use. Maybe the KK system was rushed to get the phone out, since 5.0 is expected sometime soon? Who knows.
There has to be something wrong with the software related to the cell radios. Cell Standby blows through battery percentage wise. If I don't use my phone as much as usual, Cell Standby is the largest consumer of battery percentage. That should not happen. In all my previous phones, I've never seen it at the top of the battery stats or anywhere near it. I'm hoping it will be fixed via software but if not, the battery life is still great.
A lot of battery drain is due to bloatware. Check the forum for a thread about battery life. Few changes to the moto stuff and disabling apps increased my battery life. That said, the screen is a huge battery hog. When 5.0 gets to us though I'm sure we'll see a significant decrease in battery drain from idle and processes.

Only tweak I've made is to change preferred network type settings to LTE/CDMA instead of global as it comes from the store...
I got two days battery life with about five hours screen on time my first charge cycle.
It might be underwhelming, but I'm impressed considering the screen it has to power. If the turbo came with the screen used in the X, I'd bet this would be a 3 day per charge phone at least...
In my humble opinion I honestly think the phone was never meant to have kit Kat. If you look at the timing of the release, pushed back 2 weeks and the phones on lollipop. I think this was a verizon decision to get the phone out ASAP. I seriously think all these little complaints are going to be squashed once lollipop hits.

Lollipop hasn't improved battery life on the 2014 X that I've noticed, not sure it will be a dramatic change on the Turbo.

I know everyones "heavy usage" is different. Mine was 5hrs of screen on time, and almost 3 hrs of calls. Any other phone I have ever owned would have needed a charge or two to finish my day.
I got 44 hours on a single charge this past Fri/Sat w/ just a hair under 3hrs of SOT. Sat/Sun got me about 29hrs w/ around 6 hours of SOT (checking fantasy scores/highlights/etc). I have no complaints about the battery life.
Can't find the thread for this but I'm just chillin using my Turbo and I just installed gsam. Right now my battery is at 107?? It feels warm but what's up with this? My GPS isn't even on.

I disabled as much of the Verizon and Motorola bloat as possible except Moto Display and I get 17 to 20 hours in between charges with about 7 hours screen on time. I think the battery performance is the best of any phone I have ever had. Especially since the display requires so much juice when it's on.
This thread will be for battery discussion related to the One X. At this point we're only speculating, but it will also be a great place to post battery test results from reviews, your own battery life results, and general discussion about improving battery life.
I started this thread because I'm interested in the One X, but assuming that with 80% the battery capacity of my OnePlus One (2,525 vs. 3,100mAh), the OnePlus X will probably have ~20% less battery performance. It will help that the One X has an AMOLED screen vs. LED, so dark pixels are not illuminated, and it's screen is smaller, thus saving some energy. Maybe we'll get 85% of the OnePlus One's battery performance
Just to start a little speculation before the reviews begin rolling in, there are two flagship devices from 2013/2014 that are somewhat comparable (~5" screen, 2,x00mAh battery, SnapDragon 80x SoC):
Google Nexus 5 w/2,300 mAh battery
Samsung Galaxy S5 w/2,800 mAh battery
HTC One M8 w/2,600 mAh battery
Just picking one review site's battery test results (it doesn't matter which one--almost none of them reflect actual user experience accurately), the S5 gets 7h 38 min, One M8 7h 12 min and the Nexus 5 4h 50 min. That's a huge range, but I think it's reasonable to expect the One X to average them since it's battery size is closer to the One NexusM8 and Nexus 5, but it has an AMOLED screen like the S5--so around 6 hrs 30min by Phone Arena's test regiment. The OnePlus One did 8hr 5min by Phone Arena's regiment, so ~80% of that would be 6hr 24min for the One X.
If my speculation is reasonable (iffy at best ), then the One X should have some pretty decent battery life for a 5" device.
Enough speculation for now. Waiting for the reviews to start coming in.
It has AMOLED display, 5" instead of 5.5" screen, a slightly underclocked version of the CPU used in OnePlus One, and when it gets Android 6.0 there are tons of battery related optimizations, I don't think there is reason to be worried...
Also with underclocking CPU and GPU with combination of undervolting will give you a great battery life. Amoled display won't illuminate dark pixels and that's also a big plus over here. With OPO i get around 8h of SOT it 2 days of moderate usage.. messaging, music and that's it mostly. OneX will be same as OPO i think. Smaller screen, new android, kernel modifyfing and you'll be able to get aroung 7-8h of SOT I'm sure
This is the same SoC Qualcomm MSM8974AB that has been used by htc with M8 and Sony in it's Xperia Z2 with 2600 and 3200 mAh battery respectively. as I'm currently suffering low battery backup with Galaxy S6, I'm bit skeptical whether to go with one X or not. If one X manage to reach minimum 4 hrs. SOT I will buy this phone as I already received the invitation.

SOT is extremely variable depending upon personal usage habits. I don't know how you could possibly find out if you would get 4 hrs with your usage habits before having the device. Maybe find somebody with an X and identical usage habits to you?
Incidentally, the Phone Arena battery test is done with the screen on, and they're getting 6-7 hrs out of similar devices.
We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness.

I live in Rome, so I'll have the chance to buy a OP X the next 11th November event but the battery is the only thing that is stopping me at the moment. I come from a ridiculous Galaxy Nexus battery life and I'd love to have a real long battery life finally. I was interested in the ZUK Z1 for this reason but I'm kind of used to the AMOLED technology and I don't want to go bigger than 5.2" for the display. Please guys post anything you know about the battery life even if iI'm afraid it will be just average and nothing special. 2500ish battery is not enough nowadays.

That will let me to adjust some settings.
Just had a conversation with the chat team, here is the conversation.
19.54.41 GMT - Client said : I am also a bit concerned abou thr battery on the oneplus x, it seems a bit small. Are there any official numbers on how long the device csn hold charge. Screen on time, etc.
19.57.04 GMT - Operator said : The device has 2,525 mAh LiPo battery. Pretty much it'll be good for one day. It is normal for smartphones that has LiPo battery. Overall, it'll just depend on the usage of the device, so to lessen the battery usage, one of the best way is to reduce the brightness of the device and to force close all apps that are running.

Yeah. I will wait for proper kernel then uv, uc and make gaming profile shortcuts with tasker then i will get battery and performance when i need it.
If manufactures would be smart they would make profiles available in the statusbar. Just simple battery saving, normal and performance tabs.
Also wishing that the alert slider can be customized. Just realized that it woulf be awesome if the alert slider could handle performance profile.

Hi all,
the german online mag Golem.de states in his review:
- more than 8 hours continuous 1080p video playback with 1 battery charge (for comparison: ZUK Z1 made 9 hours with 4100mAh in same test)
- gets easily over 1 day usage

Try sleeping in a little later. Getting up before 5AM is probably what's killing your battery
interested in getting the device but would like to see the performance of the phone in real life ... battery life would also tell its capabilities
According to this test, the battery life is not bad. But I don't know this site, and i'm not sure it could be trust.
edit : I can't post link. Search for "fonearena oneplus-x-battery-life-test" and you will find it.
