Hello everyone, nobody is doubting that this Moto X is a beast, but with the proper setup it is performing on par with much newer and much more powerful devices. Also, with the proper settings I can get 18 hours of useage with 4 hours sot.

You should lead by sharing how you managed to get 4hrs sot?
I'm using a rooted Moto X XT1096 with Total X 1.3.
Xposed modules active:
adaway
amplify premium
gravity box
All nonessential preinstalled apps, save for a few extras are disabled.
Moto Actions on.
Bluetooth, NFC and WIFI off.
Brightness slider at ~35% with adaptive on.
That's pretty much it.
Am I naive in expecting insane battery life? What am I missing here? Why isn't anyone really talking about how this should be crazy amounts? Most phones are closer to 3000mah.
I know the 810 is a hog, but it's an amoled display, not 4k, the oneplus two is only 3300, moto pure is only 3000, z5 2900, note 5 is 3000 as well. I have to believe with marshmellow (fingers crossed) and 3450 with an amoled display that's only 5.7" this is going to be insane, like 2 days on light use insane???
I'm hoping for some pretty good things from the battery life, i've got the Nexus 6 currently and it lasts me a day and a half with about 4 hours screen on time ( which is fine for me in all honesty )
This has a smaller display and a bigger battery, lets not forget that " sensor hub " that will help idle time immensely if it works as advertised
+Doze
+App standby
I've got a good feeling its gonna be a goodun
and this is the main reason why im picking the 6p over 5x because i strongly believe this has to be a two day battery life, everything is lining up so very good.
I'm expecting great stand by time, but once that screen is on, battery is going to drop like a rock. This was the case with the Moto X Pure at least. I was afraid to turn on that screen, my battery stats show a straight line going down.

Since I had a Nexus 5, I won't hold out any hope for any sort of battery life.
I'll take what I can get.
Depents how efficient the display is.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A
It has a 2.5k display like most other flagships, and AMOLED is the display technology, it has nothing to do with the resolution.
Running dev Preview 3 I've gotten much better standby and battery life as a whole. While I don't expect much better life out of the box than I already have once it's tweaked with the right kernels etc it better be way better than my current gen especially to give up wireless charging....

The battery is gonna be INSANE! Huge reason why I went to the 6p ! The 6 on avg for me had 5 hours SOT so I can only imagine what this will be. I have the m9 right now and I cannot wait to ditch this thing. Battery is horrid on it
This the #1 reason I am getting this phone. The Note 5 has TERRIBLE battery for me as I'm a power user.
My S6E reminds me of my Evo 4G with WiMAX turned on. It's got to be better than the old school need to plug in everywhere feeling I have lately.

My pure has pretty bad battery life if the gpu gets used at all. Out of all the devices with the 808 in the same category the pure has by far the worst battery life for whatever reason.
The nexus p hopefully won't have as much of an issue.
Beware of radio signals... That leaks a lot too.
I like gsm endurance test as a review...moto x got 63 hours. Note 5 is a beast... So your if getting poor life on that... It's an app of signal issue. Try running off LTE and test.
I figure a good comparison is moto xpe. Stock almost, same size,qhd.
So factor in battery is 15% larger, Amoled should save 15 % (see note 5 Amoled vs moto x pure LCD) and marshmallow should save 15%. All that is being conservative. Let's say -5% for snapdragon 810 vs 808. So total 40% better than moto xpe. Which gets on average 3.5 to 4.5 sot time (ignoring the under 3 and over 6 which is usually tweaking or terrible signals)
So this should average at minimum 40% better. So at least 5 hours sot.....and max of 7?
Sounds reasonable. All of this was guessing while I await the phone

I have the Moto X Pure right now and it gives me about 4hrs SOT which I do not like.
My battery is almost dead by the dead i'm leaving work so I'm hoping for a little bit more.

I just returned my Moto X Pure, and I wasn't getting a minute over 3 hours SoT. I liked the phone at first but by the end of the two weeks, it went back. The MXP seemed to drain regardless of having the screen on, and I was on wifi basically 99% of the time.

I've been getting an avg of 4 everyday
The camera is very disappointing.
I'll be returning this every month with Amazon until I get the 6P.
I average 7-8h of SOT with my Z3, hope the 6p can beat that. That's my only complain compare to the Z3

wow that really is amazing.
I'd be happy with that.
So far from all the phones I've had, The OPO on KitKat had the best battery life.
I had wifi, bt and gps on all day and I'd have around 20-50% left before I went to bed.
Lollipop destroyed that :crying:
I can't find nothing about the battery life
Also very nice to know, how fast is the charging time?
Quoting Blurayagent over at the ZTE community:
"I read quick charge is good for 0-60% charge in 30 min. Greater than 60% is charged in normal mode. "
Take a look here

Don't look good :/
Have mine plugged into quick charge 3 24 watt power brick. It goes fast from 1-60%. Still testing though

Why not?
5h 45min screen on is pretty good considering it's a 2K display pushing many more pixels that the OP3.
1h 29m charge time isn't bad either considering the 4 phone that charged a bit faster all have smaller batteries to work with.
It better than most and more than acceptable to me.

lol, the way he says it annoyes me too.
But for a while there he wss the only place for any info on this device and to see some comparative photo and video, so I watched.
Looking forward to what pocketnow had to say, especially regarding the audio quality of the Axon 7.

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!...
The Quick Charge 3.0 speed is insane. 20% to 86% in less than an hour.
Yah the charge time is crazy fast, but daily battery life doesn't seem too good so far, I get constant battery drain
My battery life today was about 6:30 screen on with heavy usage, about 12 hours usage (from about 6:45 am-6 pm with a 1 hour phone call on speaker phone) very satisfied with battery life and charge time. Coming from moto x pure.
No issues at all with stock firmware other than no wifi calling and no unlocked bootloader.
Phone is much faster than moto x pure and much battery battery life.

That's promising. I'm planning to go with either the Axon 7 or the new Nexus Marlin to upgrade from my Moto X Pure. Battery life on the Pure is my biggest complaint. I can barely get 4 hours SOT. Most days are closer to 3. The Pure seems pretty quick to me though. I rarely have dropped frames so anything faster will be a bonus.
I really wish ZTE would confirm the status of the bootloader. I'm holding out in hopes they make an announcement soon. I'm also concerned I'll be annoyed with the Axon's MiFavor 4.0 ROM. I love how stock the Pure's OS is.
I'm on Verizon so the OP3 is a no-go for me. Although it sounds like Axon 7 owners on Verizon are having issues of their own. Hopefully the issues are just because the CDMA networks haven't approved the Axon 7 yet.
I'm getting constant battery drain on my new phone in UK.
It lost 21% of power doing nothing last night. I also had enabled power save settings.

My SOT is getting better. Achieving 6 Hours easily.
6h in 20h for 1440p screen is good but pls post some screenshots
Yeah, I noticed the battery life improved as the days wore on... Might be like when you install a new rom, you need to give it a week to settle before battery life stabilizes....
How the heck is everyone measuring SOT?? I don't see it in the stock battery stats. I'd like to avoid 3rd party apps to measure this. Am I missing something?
I've read some reviews and most of them noted the average battery life of this nice phone.
One even said that its worse than the Nexus 5 battery life, which is hard to believe.
That's what mostly concerns me, so I would like to ask owners about their experience.
Min 5 hours screen on time.
Max 7 hours screen on time.

Thanks! Are you overall satisfied with its battery life?
What was your previous device?
I'm on LG G2 at the moment and I'm afraid the GM5 plus will disappoint me in that regard...

My previous device is Gionee Elife E3 clone. I dont care about battery a lot. But GM 5 Plus is not bad. Google improves battery life at July patch. I'm so happy with unofficial roms. Stock / RR is stable.
But there is a problem with heat. If you play games 30 minutes it heats
I don't play games. Usually use for mail, web browsing, call and message. Before this I had, in reverse chronological order; galaxy note 3, galaxy note 2, htc one X, htc sensation and htc HD2 (android port), before that it was iphones and windows mobiles all the way back to 2004. So I have been using smartphones for the past dozen years. General rule of thumb for me is that if I can unplug it in the morning before leaving home at about 8-9 am and it lasts until about midnight when I plug it in and go to bed it is good enough battery life for me. I have found with the GM5plus that it is very often able to perform satisfactorily in regards to battery life. It gets me through the day no problem. In that regard it is much better than was the case with teh sensation, and Note 3 after the lollipop update. The note 3 could barely last until the evening after the 5.0 upgrade. This phone makes it to about 11:30-12:00 midnight with about 15-20 percent left. So I would say that even playing games and videos you should be able to get up to 4-5 hrs screen time and up to 8 hrs screen time just internet browsing. Plus there is quick(ened) charge so it does what it is supposed to do for a lot less than the (expensive) flagship models of other brands that I had bought previously.

unfornately the batter drains is four hours..
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 Moto G7 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
First of all, GSM Arena's unit was faulty and didn't do well in their test. Battery life on this phone is superb even though it has "only" a 3000 mah battery. I got 5 hours and still 15 percent left. I have to go to bed now so I'm gonna put it on charge but it lasted me all day and more.
I'm using a Huawei Watch 2 connected all day through Bluetooth (that drains a lot), 2 SIM cards, WhatsApp and WhatsApp business and loads of social networking.
Motorola does some really high quality batteries. It's probably better than other phones with 3500 - 4000 mAh.
I'm also satisfied with the SOT.
I was also positive surprised about battery life, I get between 5 and 6 h sot, much better than my LG G6 who has a bigger battery on paper but only gets around 5 h sot in real life.
Can anybody confirm that battery is long lasting for people who don't have screen turned on all the time? I'm giving screenshots for my good old g5s plus.

Not as good as that but close
An example of what I'm getting so far as not a very heavy user, definitely better than my G5+ with same size battery.

That's super good. Can't believe people and blogs are spreading so much hate of this phone.
I am Not very Happy with my screen on time,but it is ok.
The Phone is awesome,i Like it very much.
Another example: this time a little better at almost 7 hrs SOT at 15%.
And another for over 8 hrs at 15%.
Do you guys use your phones? You seem good candidates for flip phones. Just teasing.
Glad to see the Plus is doing so well. I opted for the dual sim Power. I'm gettin 12-14 hours screen time and have no problems breaking 40 hours. I backpack a lot and wanted the longer battery life for mapping and music while out in the back country for a few days. I have to say I am impressed. the 720 display on the Power is pretty nice for a 720 but it does have a flipping big notch.
I'm getting over 5 and a half hours of SOT. :good: (Right after a factory reset)
What's up?
I'm getting this:
I was using mostly Chrome and about 20 minutes playing Asphalt 8 and using camera for about 3 minutes. Brightness is at about 50% usually.
If I have brightness on 100% (outdoor in sunny days) I'm getting about an hour less SoT during the same time frame (22 hours).
