Hey guys, I recently bought the chrome version of Z5 premium dual.
It's been almost a week and I can safely say that I'm disappointed by the battery.
My Z3 dual almost gave me 2 days of battery life with moderate to heavy usage, Z5P dual is far from that.
Take a look at the screenshots below.
It barely gave me a day with moderate usage, I didn't even play any games during this period.
I'm not sure if the 5.5 inch 4k screen is its friend or a foe.
I'll conduct more tests and share the results.

thank you for this
Screen on time??
It would be great to know the Screen-on-time and the brightness you've set for the screen.
Some point i think needs to be cleared by OP:
1. From the graph it's not charged fully to 100%?
2. First charge? I think no wonder..
3. Clean Master? 3GB of RAM and 32 GB of ROM and OP still need one? It obviously will take some battery power to do monitoring and cleaning..
But overall, Seeing more than 24 hour battery life time is quite good actually. Maybe not as efficient as Z3 but it's been the norm for all 810 devices. Only SOT part is needed here. Good news is when OP is asleep, the phone is sleeping too

I did charge it to 100%
Screen brightness was set to 50%
As far as clean master goes, its rather a handy app to remove whatsapp and some other apps from from the active apps list. It's a necessity for me, might not be for you.
Another update, I removed the secondary sim card from the device and the standby time improved considerably.
Using a single sim since yesterday on 3G mode.
Hey guys, I did a 720p video test. Here's the result.
MX player pro
Brightness set at 10
Volume set at 15
Handsfree plugged in
Both sim cards active
Battery dropped from 100% to 66% after 1.5 hours

Its like sony has gone back to to life before the z2/3 as far as battery is concerned. No more excellent battery life just mediocre - average.
how about battery stats for single sim? really curious as I am planning to get one myself when it gets released in my country.
just so you all know this phone has octa core so don't expect it will handle 2 days use of battery since once all 8 cores are working it will drain battery 2x faster or so than z3 would take as quad core.
But cpu does stopp some of it's cores when not needed then it will say Stopped on other 4 cores or if it says sleeping depending on which app you use to check.
I guess Sony might have solved heat problem of the S810 but not batter.......
This is not a phone for you if you watch movies or videos all the time.
Mine is 2 weeks old now, after extensive usage I can safely say it lasts comfortably for a day on a full charge with normal usage, without watching movies. If you do watch videos or movies it'll drain out in 7-8 hours.
So got my Z5P yesterday and I am not impressed with the battery it drains quite fast and I have power saving on and brightness around 25%
Any screen on time from full charge?

Yea it's definitely disappointing, one of the primary reasons I purchased it was for the larger battery. I really didn't think it would be so average! I honestly find myself using my z ultra around the house on Wi-Fi. I think if I had a sim kit to revert back I'd regress lol. It's battery is growing on me now, and I just received my case in the mail today so I can stop treating it like an infant!

Same here and the bigger screen, I had the Z5 before and wasn't impressed with the battery on that and the premium is hardly any better even when I am not viewing photos or videos, even just sending texts or on whats app im just watching the battery drain so fast, it doesn't even drain so fast on my ip6s or gs6. I don't know if its just because of the S810 but there is no other android phone i like this year with a big screen (5.5 inch+) they are all just disappointing imo.

I think yesterday mine was around 5 hours SOT. Mostly whats app and texts but my iphone can do about the same and so can my s6. This battery lasts only a bit longer overall than S6 or iphone on the same screen brightness, power saving and usage and having a much bigger battery. The S810 must really be rubbish, i would have rather them cut the 4K screen and used a 808 processor as for a 3430mah cell the battery life is dismal. I had the Z3 before aswell and the battery life made me love the phone can't say the same for the premium, Ive only had it two days and i dont like it already but i cant keep changing phones so i gotta ride it out until next year but on this basis this is definitely a phone I will get rid of in around 6 months time unless some serious battery improvements come.

It's not the extra cores that drain the battery.
CPU cores in mobile phones are very small (4 or 8 cores) and if u compare that power useage with a 5.5" big screen you'll get my point..
@arjun.arora
Don't close your apps so often. I see u use some cleaner app. I never liked those apps, I just closed my apps in recent app menu but since android lollipop it is not recommended to close apps at all - android manages this for u.
If u just let all ur opened apps open for a couple of days u will see the device gets smoother and faster and maybe also more juice friendly :thumbup:
(E.g. every app u kill, need to be opened at some time. So when u don't kill, it opens faster and doesn't need that much power to open)
I don't know why, but it's finish faster 100% to 65%. Then it's goes to 0% slowly. I am a heavy user and it's give me at least whole day with 8 hours screen.
Hi guys. I've had my premium for about a week now and everyday with approx same usage I am only getting 3.5 hrs screen on time! With and without stamina mode. Same
Do you think there could be something wrong with the device
Thanks
Managed to get this on my first charge using it heavy all day on data only.
Not too bad.

**PLEASE READ THE TITLE**
This is not a general battery life thread. I'm looking for comparisons of brightness levels. Thanks.
ALSO: Has anyone noticed a difference when using black themes/wallpaper, etc. I have NOT noticed any significant difference.
Ok, first off, everybody knows brightness affects battery use. However, I've been trying to run my brightness at 30%, which seems pretty low. I figured that can't use much more power than 0%. Still, I've only been getting to about 2pm after charging my phone all night. I'm a heavy user, I like to tinker with my launcher a lot, check facebook, texting, etc.
Today I decided to try 0% on the brightness setting. I'm not crazy about this since it's not bright enough for most situations. I mean, I bought a SAMOLED+ phone for a reason. Anyway, the battery usage seems to be DRAMATICALLY less than with 30%. What's even more odd is my battery usage shows my display using 40% of the battery instead of 50%, which is what I normally see. This isn't a very significant change.
So what about everybody else? Are you guys having the same experience?
UPDATE: I'm up to 7 hrs now and have 67% battery left. Screen on time 1h 26m. This is a dramatic improvement still from 30% brightness.
Ive had my brightness at 100% for most of the day. Im getting great battery life. Im a heavy user and I can get atleast a 1 1/2 days with a single charge. Luckily I hve the luxury to charge over night.
You sir are not a heavy user if you can get 1.5 days with a single charge on 100% bright.
Or maybe a heavy user on calls not browsing or things that use the screen.
on 100% simply 1h browsing, 1h with video, 1 account sync, texting, some calls, check twitter and fb will kill your battery in less than a day, and that is not heavy using.

Can i ask how many hours you have your screen on,
because with 100% brightness i'm lucky to get 3.5 hours (internet/games/twitter) of use out of my phone.

copy and paste from another thread I posted in. This is a very typical day. Now I dont use my phone as much after 6. My phone is currently at 30% from a full charge from friday night.
I make it during the day with 100% brightness. I consider myself an a heavy user.
Ill show my usual day after the new factor wore off.
Unplug at 630-7am
Start my music through Poweramp around 9am at work.(20 gigs of music)
about 20 text/ 30min total of calls
20 or so emails with some attachments
Usually download about 200mb of music/videos throuhout day
Check about 10-15 websites every couple hours(xda app most frequently)
Use Logmein about 10-15min total
Play LIVE holdem Poker roughly 30min total
Youtube/video watching
Some other random things I cant remember
3g/h+ on all day
wifi stays on
brightness at 100%(bright orange/blue wallpaper)
Browser brightness is at 50%
Everyones experience will be different. My original Samsung galaxy s(vibrant) would be dead around 5-6pm. My Galaxy s2 is around 40-50% around 5-6pm. Im experienceing great battery life. My fiance iphone4 would kill my vibrant in battery life, but the sgs2 is on par.

Yes, I too find this very hard to believe. I know if I watch a high quality video on YouTube the battery drain is insane. Of course that is data also but I doubt I could get an hour. My guess is if I just left the screen on for 2-3 hrs my battery would be dead from 100%.

Nope, that's definitely impossible.
I don't believe you, period.
On my s2 I lose 30-40% in 2 hours of not very heavy use on auto brightness. I am shocked that when I surf I can see the battery number (using battery guage) actually ticking down. Device is nice but battery life for me makes it totally useless for a prime device.

I've got display at auto-brightness which is usually around 30% for me indoors. Got display on time of 4hours 16minutes..includes about 45minutes of 3d gaming (modern combat 2) and rest browsing/downloading etc..
total up time 12hours 39minutes...and got 22% left...thats incredible to me, coming from a desire hd, I cant believe my phone is actually still running haha..
EDIT: Oh yea forgot to mention, I got a new replacement yesterday which means I havent even gone through the charging cycles yet, my previous one was superb aswell so fingers crossed this one will be too
Im off today so my typical use is different. Ill repost my battery stats when I get home after work tomorrow.

Well this is helpful, thanks. Sounds like you are getting better battery life than me. Although I would say I definitely am a "heavier" user than you. I used to make it to about 3pm with my GS1. I'm getting about the same with my GS2 if I leave the brightness on auto. That's if I don't use YouTube for more than a few min. I too would like to know what your screen on time is at the end of the day.
Sorry, posted this in the wrong place

That use and that battery it is simply a lie.
The screen is definitely a battery drainer. Don't set the screen to 100% brightness and record 1080p videos. Battery level will be at 0% in less than 2 hours.
Why the f would I lie? Samsung is not paying my bills nor cutting me a check. ill post tomorrow after work my battery stats.

I'm waiting for those stats.
A screen shot of his display on time along with the graph is what's needed.
Can we get back on OP's original topic of display brightness vs battery life discussion, this is a topic I'm interested in as well as I leave mine on auto-brightness and display is always #1 on my battery consumption list.
Maybe intruda can start a thread called "How my battery life is superior to everyone else's SGS2" and the dissenters can go there and call him out. Just sayin'.
This is my usage today with auto brightness. Mostly at 30%-40% brightness with 45minute gaming and rest browsing. Music. Youtube.
Im impressed.

Hey guys, I'm using the iPhone 6 plus now and I'm seriously thinking about switching back to android. Just can't stand iOS. My only concern is the battery life since I got excellent battery life on the 6 plus. From the reviews every reviewer says it's very good battery life but I need to hear real experience from actual users here. How is the standby time? Screen on time? Please stock rom only and please post screen on time and overal battery screenshot. Thanks!!
Standby time? Lol I've been on it too much for that. Battery is excellent don't sweat the move from iphone.

My iPhone 6 plus has exceptional standby time so it gives me a feeling that the battery is endless. For example, how much juice does the note 4 lose overnight? (7-8 hours)

Bluetooth and wifi always on, pebble connected, poor coverage area. I keep it set to pick up lte when available, but I only have edge where I live. I travel a lot though and still get good life when I actually get lte. I haven't tweaked anything (yet). Be warned that my first charge gave abysmal life. It wasn't until the second or third charge that I started getting decent life, so don't worry when your first charge runs to nothing after 8 hours.
Amen. I use powersaving, and you could always use the ultra power saving in a bind.

Around 0 to 1 percent. Maybe 2 if I get a bunch of notifications. My fiance has the iPhone 6 plus, trust me my note 4 destroys her iPhone in battery. With light to moderate use I'm easily getting 2 full days ( I send roughly 500-600 texts, maybe 20 emails, at least 20 phone calls, navigate to appointments and I'm always on pandora....also I have a moto 360 connected all day). When I'm doing heavy usage I get about 24 hours or so. But my heavy usage is actually HEAVY. I can almost guarantee you don't use your phone more than me. You will be fine with battery life.

Excellent battery life. I use my phone almost all day and night. FB, messaging, music, texting, phone calls, camera, reading, photo editing, youtube. I use it extensively on a daily basis during the week. On weekends I don't use it as much so I have more than half charge by Monday.

I turn on power saving mode at 100% when i go to bed, and when I wake up 5 hrs later I'm usually at 99% or 98%. Without power saving mode, I wake up to 96%.
I can easily get through a full day at Disney World (about 8 hrs) with light usage - mixed use of wifi and 4g, checking the disney app and checking my farmville farm, and checking feedly. I usually leave Disney with about 50% juice left. Brightness on auto, wifi on, bluetooth off, gps on.
I've tested streaming as well. On 4g, starting at 100% charge, I can stream about 4 hour long episodes on Netflix, on Plex it's usually a little longer than that before it hits 50%. At home on wifi, I can stream about double that amount before hitting 50%.
I'm pretty happy about the battery life, and the best part is I can always remove the battery if this one goes bad, or bring spares on trips. I can live with Touchwiz if it means I can have removable batteries, sd card, and the pen.

I've done multiple tests on this. I will charge it up at night 100% then leave it off charger for the night, look in the morning. I'm averaging 3-4% discharge per night which is not too bad. My Nexus 5 was a ridiculous 10-15%. Still nothing close to iPhone that just doesn't go down if you don't use it.
I leave all things on. Don't really want a phone that acts like a 2002 device.
Hey all,
Ok So My battery is at 23% with 4 hours 45 min of screen time and it's been of the charger for 1 day 20 hrs 15 min and 20 sec
The phone charge so fast and it is amazing. I dont know if I want to do that in the long run bc fast ch arging is bad on battery!
I have a nice battery charger and it says charging the battery slow will last longer per charge and longer life cycle itself too.
So what do you do?

I returned the iPhone and have used the Note for 2 days now. Battery is... Well, not as good as I expected. At least not comparable to the iPhone 6 plus. But I don't sweat on this since it does take quote some time for Android battery to kick in. I kinda wish Samsung didn't push the pixels since it's truly a battery drain. Also the GPS drains battery too. These 2 functions on the iPhone are very efficient.
And yes fast charge is wonderful. I say don't worry about the battery since it's fairly cheap.

Simple fixes.
1.) Make sure you screen brightness is on auto
2.) Put on a background that is dark, or mostly black
3.) Set your location to device only (GPS only)
4.) Turn the run time to ART
You will easily see an increase in battery life.
Below is my normal battery life. And an example of a good background to use.
Had about 5.5 hours of screen on time.

I actually switched from GPS only to power saving. I have quite a few email syncing tho. One interesting thing... Are you sure we should be on art? I heard its not fully compatible.

ART bogs down my phone so I don't use it. Also during boot up, it take forever to finish as it tries to optimize some apps every time. About 39 on mine. This makes my phone super hot and there's no way to bypass this process. I say ART is a bad idea.
I couldn't find a thread about battery and SOT, so here it is.
Battery life is one of the most important things in today's gadgets and even if it's often up to what kind of apps and usage pattern you have there is still good to find a baseline to benchmark your own battery life against.
Please show us your battery life, SOT and any findings you have about what to do, and not, to maximize it.
If possible , please use gsam battery monitor and post screenshot. Gsam is a great tool and will also show you parts of what's going on energywise. Root is normally needed for more granular reports.
Thanks!

It's still a very early firmware and hopefully it's possible to find what's draining.
Looking forward to it, but sad news if it's the same for everyone.
Thank you!
First cycles with all initial syncs were getting me about 6:30 hours. After a few cycles, intensive usage (very little gaming, but lots of browsing, twitter, FB, sports timer, some camera etc) I am getting around 8:45. I noticed that changing brightness from default auto (too dark for me) to manual +2 (very bright) doesn't impact battery life much. I think the main drain comes from the 810 and theming.

Theming is known to be able to drain.
Is there a "stock version" that don't drain and is it possible to measure?
When it comes to the SOC, I imagine that's mostly up to Qualcomm and HTC to fix.
Actually more around 8:00 screen on with 45' screen off. Note that I disabled FB and Twitter feed sync, and configured location services only on one Google account and did not use theming on these cycles.

About 8 hours of SOT with more than 50% brightness sounds really good, even if you turn location and stuff off.
Can you upload som statistic about what is taking battery and SOT?
Thanks
8 hours is quite consistent with the reviews, e.g. Engadget:
In the standard Engadget rundown test (with a video set to loop endlessly while the screen's set to 50 percent brightness), the M9 stuck around for eight hours and 19 minutes -- a decent increase over the original One M7, but far short of the 11-plus hours we squeezed out of the M8 last year and the 10-plus hours the G Flex2 put up. That seems abnormally low, especially considering that the M9 did just fine when it came to average daily use: It regularly hung around for 13 to 14 hours of continuous work use (including a few spells as a mobile hotspot during press events) without batting an eye.

Also in my experience 8 hours with the screen off will drain 10%. This is without the phone doing much and WiFi only as I don't have a SIM in there yet.
Coming from a first gen Moto G I don't feel too concerned.

True, but most of those test is normally about looping a video, web-script, on 50% brightness.
I you just got the phone and using it in a mixed way 8 hours is pretty good. I never had 8 hours on the M8, even when reading books with flight-mode on (weekend in another country, don't want to get ruined
But... I also have close to 200 apps running god knows what in the background.

About 8 hours of SOT with more than 50% brightness sounds really good, even if you turn location and stuff off.
Can you upload som statistic about what is taking battery and SOT?
Thanks

Absolutely no way is anyone getting 8hrs of SOT with 50% left. Not even then 720p blue studio energy with a 5000mah is.

No one said they had 50% battery remaining after 8 hours of SOT. They were talking about the screen brightness being set at 50%
I think you've misread that. It's 8hrs SOT with brightness at 50%. Not remaining battery at 50%.
Here is mine so far tonight after 2 full drain and recharge cycles.
It seems the system itself is a big impact on the battery. Need a lot more work on the firmware.

I think this is the only encouraging thing anyone can say right now.
We know that the M8 is capable of great battery life. The M9 has a bigger battery than the M8 so hopefully the firmware can improve.
As apposed to the S6 where the battery size leaves the battery life nowhere to go but down.
I've been testing a Verizon version with all the test software on it so it's hard to gauge battery life. My main complaint about the phone is its slow charge rate. Takes hours to charge

I used an Apple iPad charger which gives out 12w/2.1a. It still took nearly 5hrs to charge my dead phone to full power.
My iPhone 6 plus with the same charger takes about 2.5-3hrs to charge a dead phone.
Charging m9 with out of the box charger from 12% takes me about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I'm in France . Don't know whether this is the 'quick' charger or not.
Also, power history graph crashes if I try to launch it while charging

Hi all,
After a few days of using the Z5c, I must say I'm disappointed in the battery. It's coming not even close to factory brag specs (that's no surprise though). What does surprise me a bit, is that it upholds for barely ONE day. Back-to-back comparison with my old Z3c, all things (apps/usage characteristics) being equal except for stock ROM in Z5c and aosp ROM in Z3c, shows that the Z3c performs at least half a day longer!
Any other experiences with this?
This is interesting, if a little concerning. I'd be keen to hear feedback from others.
I had a Z1c, then switched to a Samsung Galaxy Alpha which has horrendous battery life, even more so with Lollipop (I flashed back to KK), I'd be happy with something in the middle probably. I believe the Z3c was quite a jump over the Z1c so hard for me to judge from what you are saying.
I guess we can expect battery to be worse on the SD810 vs the old SD800/801, despite the token battery bump. Maybe a future Android M update will go some way to helping, though that is probably some months off unfortunately.
Can you please share a screen grab of the battery screen on your device, showing screen time, apps usage etc.
Thanks.
edit: I have a Z5c on pre-order already, I'll add my thoughts when it arrives.
I would say my battery also lasted for about I day. Last time I charged it was yesterday and now I am out of batteries. I hit 15% a couple of hours ago. I will report back in a few days after some more charging and using.
EDIT: I should say I had A LOT of application running in the background, more then I would normally have. I usually kill apps I do not use, not just leave them in the background to preserve battery.

Yes, me too. I've now run into different trouble (not connecting to PC Companion, ANT HAL service corrupted, and more...) so no good example as "ordinary daily use".
With my first charge I got almost 2 days - configuring phone, installing apps and my daily usage. To compare, with my daily usage on my Nexus 5 I got through day with few percent to spare.
When using normally there is no problem with power consumption but graphics heavy games or camera app can make the phone really hot and battery drop fast.
So far getting 68% after full day of use, some phone calls, Spotify via Bt, few calls, updates, 3 push email accounts, etc. It's very similar to my old z3c. I expect 2-2,5days of battery life

I've been using phone for 5 days now. It has to be charged every day. STAMINA mode is on.
Daily usage:
- few calls
- some sms/hangout messages
- reading news/fb
- endomondo + gps - 1 hour running
Result:
43% screen,
12% Android OS (maybe a GPS?),
10% gReader,
6% Endomondo,
6% Cell standby,
4% Phone idle.
Current status:
Now on battery: 19h;
35% battery left - approx 12 hours left (according to battery info)
I'm a little bit disappointed with battery life so far.
perhaps you should check which app drains battery most. from my experience fb messenger is battery eater. disable Wi-Fi scanning, check if any of games you downloaded is set to send you notifications. phone is really good and I don't think your particular phone is worse - you just need to configure it!

I don't think you should do it at all, just google for some android tweak hints, disable any bloatware you don't want, disable notificatitons for apps you don't use or don't wish to send you notifications.
if you have to, install clean master and set saving battery option so it will kill any background tasks when screen off

Sure. I've looked at FB/Messanger but it only ate about 2%. I know all the battery hint, thanks.
Stamina mode turns WiFi off on screen off.
Anyway, the battery tricks are for other topic. Maybe I'm just playing with the phone to much, since it is new
Screen on times?
I regularly got 7-8 hours of SOT with my Moto X Play which I returned after two weeks for refund in favour of the Z5 Compact (mainly due to the size difference). Obviously I'm not expecting quite that level of battery prowess, but I'd like to see at least double what my Nexus 5 currently offers (it wouldn't be that hard to achieve with an average of 2.5 hours SOT).
In any case, I get mine delivered today so I'll be able to chip in on the battery front soon.

So after locking phone the battery info shall show the WiFi off when the screen is off right? Or is it made off in other way that it is not seen by battery info? See on the bottom of the screen.
Anyway the indicators show that SCREEN = off but WIFI = on

Search the forums for the Z3 series and Z1 for many posts that explain how Stamina works. It doesn't stop Wi-Fi. It doesn't allow apps to connect to Internet.

I come from a Z3 Compact and are very disappointed with the battery life. 2 days ? but if barely arrival until 15 pm using it as before and with the same apps. I do not understand how a phone so publicized and expensive might have a bad time. I know very well the Z3 Compacct and arrived safely in the evening but this new Z5 is really a bad purchase !!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that the problem is the firmware...seem no go to deep sleep or new snapdragon wrok very bed.

I had very ****ty battery life for like 4 days, but since yesterday it's performing better, right now I'm at 60% with 2:30 SOT and it's been 22 hours off the charger. Hopefully it stays this way. I still believe the z3c has better battery life though.

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'm afraid it won't be enough
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.

I have nexus 4 and its sot is from 3:40 to 4+h. It has 2100mah battery.
It is enough for me to last a day.
Just hope that custom roms will be available.
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.
More than 8 hours 1080p video playback
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
First day use!
Am i the only one getting such a bad battery life?? Or should i wait to test it again after a few more days??

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.
