Screen on time - Huawei P20 Lite Real Life Review

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 Huawei P20 Lite before depleting the battery.

Good enough, with normal usage I can do 12 hours with 100% of charge.
2 hours YouTube
Checking social media now and then. (Every 20minutes)
And checking time (10-20 times a day)

With my old Microsoft Lumia 640 XL I have days in a row. with the p20 lite just 1 day. sad but true

Hallo hallo
You are comparing a Windows Phone with an Android XD
Not joking but they are 2 completely different Operating Systems, while Windows Phone OS is so much better in performance and will probably always be since Android is in Emulation forever on Linux... YIKES. Right now the Windows Phone OS lost too many apps, but for me will be best overall OS on a phone ever. With 1GB or 2GB of RAM and a Quad Core CPU and it has outstanding performance comparing to a 6GB of RAM and an Octa Core CPU smartphone(any) running Android LOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
This will always be the truth. IOS is the second one right now btw.
I also love Sailfish OS but I haven't really tested a device with it yet

I got 6h sot and still had 20% battery. Mostly watching youtube videos, searching the web, stuff like that. I think it ended up at 6h and 30min when I was about 13-14% and put it to charge.

You can compare them as phones... without OS. Is true Microsoft is far better as power management but they pulled out from the market. The 640XL was serious outdated. Also I had problems with apps like .. the one I use for my electric toothbrush Oral-B 9000 Genius, No app from my bank to use the NFC payment and so on.
I give up though not because the apps... but because the low RAM 1Gb compared with 4Gb...
If I can find a nice 950 XL I have no seconds thoughts, I buy it!

These results come after heavy use of the P20 Lite. Mostly YouTube, Mobile Games(resource intensive) and Music Streaming.

For me it's about 4 to 5 SOT.

It was light use except like the last hour but still, I could get like 5-5:30 hours SOT with Huawei P20 Lite, using it normally.

Screen on time

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 HTC U12+ before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
A full day of use can easy be achieved using the U12+ with an on screen time around 4/5 hours.

I usually charge mine every other day with about 6 hours of screen on time. My wife, however, managed this.
Wow that very impressive screen on time. Any more information on her usage? Just Facebook for example?

I realized, after posting yesterday, that she could have had some charge time in there(forgot to check) and that would have made it look like SoT was longer than it actually was.
I checked her phone again last night and she had 6.5 hours SoT and 21 hours since last charge with 3% left.
She plays mostly casual games... Grow Castle, Neko Atsume, Candy Crush.

Thanks for the info. I find I'm getting 3-4 hours SoT whenever I play any games, but usually gain an extra hour when I'm not playing games. Wasn't sure if that's normal or bad considering what you posted about your wife's habits.
Battery life seems to be on the lower end of the spectrum. My Pixel 2 XL gets much better battery life compared to the U12.

What did that do for you? Did it improve your battery life
Just bought the phone for a week, all is perfect unless the battery .
ideal time is fine around one day and more, screen on time around 5/6 hours.
if your change the display resolution from Quad HD+ to FHD+ it will give you extra one hour .

thats not poor battery life, is average i would say
Battery is even better on latest update. I would get even more if it wasn't for me being in work and getting a weak mobile signal 47% from this. 1 Day and 19 hours 30min on a full charge with just under 5 hours screen on time, usage from games, youtube, Facebook chrome, phone calls so a high usage also. I am very happy with this phone battery.
Anyone also have the HTC U11? If so, how does it compare in screen on time? I'm considering upgrading, but don't really want to take a big hit in that area.
Anyone else?
Nobody? This thread seems to be dead like HTC company.

First charge looks promising
Hello,
If I compare the screen on times of my new HTC U12+ with your pictures, could you please tell me what did I wrong?
Screen brightness is about 15%. Apps like Facebook, GMail, Google Drive, Alexa, Messenger, News Republic and so on are deactivated.
I reached 1 hours 38 minutes screen on time with 33% battery left.
Please advise.

i would uninstall that batterystat app, those are only useful if you want to find battery draining apps and they drain battery in return.

Is this good battery life?

This is with a custom rom, after this first test, I turned off wifi scanning.
and put battery saving from 15 % to turn on at 25%, also, I set the screen to use half the pixels while on battery saving, I'm hoping to reach around 5 hours SoT with around 24 hours of standby.
Should be doable?

this is taken today, i am on stock with last sec patch, bat saver is set down from 15% to 5% but its just for disabling led to turn on, i never use battery saver.
Yeah, about normal SoT, but it depends on what apps you use, what number of them are running in the background etc. To me both of OP and Nikola_zr are pretty much standard SoT and overall battery life.
I was able to get this out of it, I'm quite happy.
As you can see I'm a heavy youtube user, I watch videos while I'm answering messages, or surfing Facebook.

To be fair the app itself isn't really much of an impact, but the screen being on during that app. YouTube won't actually use much because we have a dedicated video decoder hardware.
You would find that 90%+ of that YouTube usage is screen on time while YT was in foreground.

If you're in oreo, this battery life is pretty normal. Why? There's only 4h on screen time, whereas Android oreo has (in this moment) the more enhanced deep sleep, being off-screen almost doesn't take battery life. This is why you got 23h withou charging.
Check out what I think a good battery life is like:

Agreed. Facebook app is a huge baterry drainer (trust me, I had a Zenfone 5, I NEEDED TO BACKUP BATTERY lol). So, since Zenfone I found out that stock Facebook app eat a bunch of battery (even if backgrounding), I started to use Web version and now FBLite wich does pretty much the same as the stock FB app, but almost without draining battery.
Tip: use FBlite and be happy

FB uses a lot on low RAM devices I've found, but on Mi A1 it doesn't seem like too much. If you turn off all notifications and video autoplay, anyway.
I've tried all the alternative FB clients and they're pretty crap compared to official app. None of them remember the news feed position you're at if you go in to comment on something, for example. It always reloads.

4-6h SOT with 120Hz adapative and QHD+ (adaptive)
Drains a bit faster compared to my P20 Pro, but performance is outstanding
Yeah, I'm on average usage. Max can get 4.5 hours SOT only. With fhd+ 120hz
i'm very worried about it now... i haven't done 3-4 cycles yet (2nd at the moment), but i'm on 4-5 hours sot with mostly being on wifi at the moment.. which is worrysome.
I get about 3-5h with Resolution and refreshrate at adaptive
Yup that sounds about right. I'm on mobile data today. 2.5h sot with only 20% left.. So I'm returning the phone end of this month
.A24 increased it to 5-7h SOT for me
Full Res. and 120Hz. Heavy usage. Great Battery [emoji106]

According to the reviews, first couple of days the battery endurance is sub-par/average because the phone learns your habits and adapts slowly.
After a week or so you should be getting better results.
I'll report the stats when I get mine, should be soon.
Second run just under 50% battery web usage YouTube Instagram .. seems decent

Mine is looking very decent so far.
3rd cycle, 93% -> 4%, 5h 3min SOT (total time 23 hours) with 1 hour of taking photos and videos and rest normal usage (streaming via mobile data etc.)
Well just cleared my first week average tops around 5 ish hours generally.
Sat at home watching dark Netflix latest result :-
Dark mode no power saving display auto refresh set to 120hz

You should not drain your phone to single digit numbers. Don't also charge beyond 85%.
This is what Battery Scientists say.

You might be right , however how realistic is it do as suggested in the real world ??
Is that something you practice yourself ?
If I were to do that I would be wiping the best part of 2 hours sot of my device which is impractical.

If I charged it to 100% and then just used it normally, I'm sure I could get a full day from my Pixel 4a with no problem; but I usually try to keep my phone in the 20-80% range, never putting it at 100%. Also, with the quick charger, it's easy to just throw it on a charger for about 30 minutes and get another 50% of life. The exception to this rule is when I don't think I'll be able to charge the phone at all during the day, or maybe not very often.
Anyone for any screen on time states?
Currently using pixel 3a xl and get about 8 hours.
Wonder if its worth the upgrade. Extra storage and ram would be but with the 3a xl the battery lasts me about two days which is great.

Only reason I didn't get the 3axl is it's more expensive than the 4a. I'd hold on to that puppy
Can someone run work 2.0 battery life test with 50% brightness? Not necessarily complete test, half is enough.
This result seems too good...

That's pretty impressive. Possibly time for an upgrade then for me. Not that there is anything wrong with the 3a XL just wouldn't mind a smaller phone, but I wanted to keep the same battery life, which the 4a looks to have.
whats about with android 11, is the SoT better?
Full data , with Bluetooth connectivity automatic brightness + AOD.. First charge (android 11)
First day on A11, very similar to A10 so far.
No screenshot yet.
On android Q, 4G and Wifi on, AOD on, I have about 7:40 screen on time after one day use.
Seems good to me
I have noticed an improvement since last update don't know if it's just from using the phone more or of it's from the update but 5 hours and 45 mins sot all on data with bluetooth going for 6 of the day seems pretty good to me.

Thanks, I want to give my mom a new phone, her sony xa2 ultra have a crazy screen and is driving me and her nuts.
I think for her a phone with a bigger bezel will be easier to use than a full screen phone, and I found new 3aXL for 250.
