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 Huawei Mate 10 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

6 hours 20 min
Just got mine a couple of days ago and wanted to test the battery out.
I had 100% at 7.36am and then went out. I did some normal chrome browsing during that time. I also did the first big update. The translator one that was about 300meg. I downloaded around 500 songs to Spotify.
I got home around 4pm and this is where I really used it almost non stop until 8.34pm.
I watched some YouTube, a 45 min Netflix episode, a ton of web browsing, checking out all the phone settings, Facebook, and about 90 min of gaming (tower defence, top down 2D scrolling shooters).
I stopped at 8.34pm at 5% left. Phone has been on battery for around 13 hours.
Screen on time during the above time reported at 6 hours and 20 minutes.
I was pleased with that though doesn't hit much of the hype I've read lately.
Coming from a Nexus 6P, which my only complaint was battery life (3.5 your SOT on average) I'm happy and really my wish was to have a phone that I could use heavily all day without needing to recharge either at home or out with a power bank.
It's still early stages and I will keep monitoring.
I forgot to add this was at 1080p resolution.

Sad that Moto Z Play beat this 4000mah on my Mate 10, I did lyft for 8hrs no turning off screen non stop playing Spotify and YouTube red on the background and using lyft app and Google map on the Z play and after 8hrs I still have 15% left on 40%screen brightness. The mate 10 only last 6hrs and 10%left. So lesson is don't buy Z Play then buy another more expensive phone. Bought mine $703 on ebay and I am using AT&T and I get same speed as iPhone 7 plus with regards to data speeds. I have a S8 too which I sold because of screen burn in, but the Mate 10 is a beast. It beats my S8 speed with regard to experience using the phone. And IPS is really the way to go if you use the phone how I use it everyday 8-16hrs of screen on time.

So after a few days use and after a 100% charge I get this estimated use. Hmmmn

Yes.
So far I get an average of 6.5 - 7hrs of SOT with average of 18-22 hours battery. Is that good?

IMO, it's very good considering the screen size :good:
Did you try comparing SOT with QHD vs FHD resolutions? I understand that SOT won't really improve if you go for lower resolution..
All pixels on the screen are used regardless. Just a bigger sample size with FHD. However, QHD will use a little more battery if you are changing the image on the display. For the fact that it has to draw that many more pixels each time the image changes. Which is millions of pixels. But I believe a lot of static image changing is done by the cpu and not the gpu. where gpu is used mainly for constant motion on screen.
But honestly part of the reason they have such high resolution is for VR. That and to make more sense of taking UHD pics and videos. Most people won't notice a working difference between the two through regular use unless they keep it really close to their face, or have very good eye sight.
So you will see it use some extra battery. Not a detrimental amount more unless you are a heavy user of games and whatnot. Or if you force GPU rendering, then you should see a big difference in battery

but its still interesting to see the results. If its like 0.5-1h of SOT to a SOT result which on QHD is 6-7 hours, I would never go for lower resolution..

I didn't try the higher resolution yet as 1080 for me is absolutely fine looking to my eyes. I came from a nexus 6p which was poor on SOT which I attributed to partly to the resolution.
Still it will be worth to try it at some point to see the difference.
My worst result with battery was today. 4.5 screen time but I did the most gaming and had hours of messenger chats with a 40 minutes voice chat thrown in.

super battery
i want to share my mate 10 battery with app ( gsam batterry )
i used whatsapp , instagram , twiteer . youtube , snap chat , phone calls lte , the screen is wqhd 2560x1440 all the time , screen bright is manual on 50 % level brightness
this what i got 13h 49 mint

SOT:
Now after 10 days, mine is usually around 5-7 hours, if I just surf internet, Youtube, using FB, IG, RSS reader and camera (usually without flash). I'm mostly on WiFi using also only 1 SIM at a time (the other switched off).
If using games, this drops to 4-5 hours max. Seems the GPU is burning through battery like butter, the phone is also getting somewhat warmer.

Also been noticing that the mate 10 performs bad in games, could be because the games are not optimized to kirin ?

8hrs 50mins 23s
* Max resolution set - WQHD - disabled Smart resolution toggle
* Social media, surfing, on WIFI like permanently all throughout the day
* Minimal youtube, no gaming (since I'm at work)
* first couple of days I was able to get around 7hrs SoT average

You guys know this is a waste of time without giving which model as the Pro in theory should have a better SOT with lower res and OLED

Mate 10 with AT&T Sim and always on Wi-Fi. This is what I get. Most of the time is on Twitter, Chrome, 30 minutes on sling TV today.

Seriously??? [emoji23]?

Also, i m using only Full HD mode... but now i toggled smart resolution toggle, tho i m not sure how it really works.

...still on 115.… the smart resolution changes the reso automatically depending on the app requirements (from my understanding) ... haven't received the 119 but will definitely check as soon as I get it.. ?

Any partial charges here? Could you post battery graph? This is really impressive especially for the first battery cycle!!!
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

First charge cycle, only 4g was used, two sims in phone

Here's my second charge cycle. The first one was only 78% to 43% over a working day so no point posting that.
Not quite 8h SOT but I'm happy with this. Day's use included 24 minutes of continuously testing the camera.

Very happy with the sot.

Normal usage, Spotify streaming almost Everytime screen was on. Played one level of shadowgun legends idk why it isn't in the list maybe it didn't drain that much and 8 ball pool.

My screen on time is pretty less it seems. Is this normal?

Average. That's all I can say. I'll be waiting for a battery case most definitely.

Managed about 7 hours before the battery saver turned on.
About 30 mins playing games, 45 mins videos with high screen brightness and the rest using Chrome.

Facebook is probably the reason

I'm getting between 4.5-6.5 hrs SOT, i'm pretty happy with that!
interestingly Accubattery only shows a 3010mAh battery looks like mines a bit worse than it should be but still very happy coming from a nexus 6P which struggled to last 3

Battery doesn't drain that much, but I've only tested it for a day so far so I may update this in the future

Manage all apps automatically & smart display
5:48 @ 04% ~ 3.63 minutes to drain 1%
4:08 @ 18% ~ 3.02
2:19 @ 53% ~ 2.96
3:51 @ 29% ~ 3.25
4:29 @ 17% ~ 3.24
Same as above then towards the end of the day switched to 720p & auto manage apps off
5:11 @ 21% ~ 3.93
720p & auto manage apps off
7:14 @ 11% ~ 4.88
I think this is more because of the aggressive ram management when manage all apps is on, and what seems to be a bug with smart display. Restarting apps so many times must drain battery. I will try tomorrow at QHD+ and see the SOT
Also worth noting I do not game, I listen to a lot of music (most of the working day) and stream YouTube to and from work I have over 100 installed apps and 6 messaging apps which I switch to frequently. I have news apps that refresh every hour on data or mobile.
standby drain seems a lot over night about 2x the mah than the OnePlus 6 that I have

Barely need to look for a charger thru out the day

Amazing .

Is yours a Boe or LG screen?
QUOTE=Darkat70;78334851]Amazing .[/QUOTE]

Mine is a BOE screen, 18B02.
Pretty awesome to get that SOT, with 43% battery left. I used my GPS for 30 minutes, watched about 20 minutes of YouTube, 30 minutes of Slotomania game.
On standby I lose about 5% battery in 7 hours or so.

Agreed. I am absolutely loving the battery life on this thing, it insane how much heavy usage 1 Charge cycle can take.
I average around 7-8hours SOT, sometimes 9hours and that's with the screen set to 60% Brightness. Absolutely insane, and it just keeps chugging along.

SOT on LG panel. Truly amazing at more than 6 hours with 40% juice left.

How you get like 8h-9h sot? Usually i have 5.30

i have 3h... how is possible? xD

Hi I get about 6 hours ost is that good.? I have brightness on about 90% and WiFi on at all times I have seen ppl get 7-8 hours ost should I keep manage apps automatically on or turn it off any advice appreciated guys

This bad boy is killing all phones when it comes to battery life..

Here are my stats.
Today was a heavy use day so I only got just over a day of use. I usually get about 2 days before needing to charge. So either one day at 9h SoT or two days at 7h30 SoT, I guess it depends which apps I use too. I try to charge above 5% and stop at 95%.
WQHD+, auto manage apps on, dark theme everywhere I can, never have both wifi and 4G on at the same time and am in Airplane mode during the night to limit battery drain (very effective, I never lose more than 3-5%).
I do a lot of web browsing, a bit of gaming and YouTube, and Facebook/Messenger are probably running in the background and are used a lot.
I rarely have brightness above 50%, except for videos. I mostly stay between 15 and 50%.
System update .153

I noticed that my battery life isn't as good as it was with ly first mate 20 pro that was equipped with an LG display. Since i got my replacement using a BOE screen, battery drains faster. I still manage to get 6/7h of SOT so i'm not complaining but it was better before

BOE screen here, power save mode, 1080p forced resolution gives me 12+ hrs SOT.
Same settings on S7Edge got me 8 hrs...but then again, that battery is 3 years old, therefore around 82% capacity.
Happy camper so far.

The stats i gave were achieved with the exact same settings as i used with the LG equipped one. I used to have 1/2h more of SOT

Battery life is just too good and with the new update 152 makes it even better S

How's the screen look? And speed of the device? Hard to hold?

Exteremly perplexed. Out of the box this things battery was amazing on day 1.. 5 hours sot from 60pc to 20+. On day 4, just watching YouTube and scrolling on Instagram for 40 minutes the battery dropped 10pc! Disappointing for a 7nm chip and 5000mah. Ive been monitoring battery consumption and apps, which I haven't installed much. Projected to have 55 hours left on battery, 70 hours on saving and 230 hours on ultra. Do you guys think it's still calibrating?

Yeah, i think it's still calibrating... Remember to never charge your phone to 100% and never plug the charger when it like 1%... Always charge from 20% to 80% ... This will you will have a great battery life...

Excellent battery!

Can we get more posts with app usage? Showing SOT without what apps you use doesn't mean much

This phone is a beast.
With same configuration my Mate 9's best was 6+ hours SOT, Mate 10 pro was just about 7 hours.

Power saving mode off.
Auto brightness on except while on total darkness.
Double SIM cards from different providers active the whole time.
Walking and driving half of the day.
No WiFi at all except when I had to transfer a few GB of data to another phone via WiFi direct.
YouTube vanced active most of the time when screen was on plus a few hours while screen was off too. You can see I downloaded 1.4GB of data yesterday and that was mostly 240p video and last two hours 144p video.
I forgot to say I had Bluetooth on for more than 10 hours, and that's exactly how long time I was playing videos on YouTube vanced. Because I listen through the wireless earbuds.

Is anyone having shorter SOT post the emui9.1 update?

at least it's worse with me than with 9.0

I have been very happy with battery life so far.
Screen is on 90hz qhd+
90% on wifi
Sot of 7 hours and 5 minutes.
Been of the charger for 15 hours.
Still 16% battery left.

First day of moderate usage with qhd and 90 hz

90 hz fhd betwen 7-8 hours screen on time normal use social media youtube and some light games (except pubg that game is a battery killer ) with quad hd didn't tested yet !

Fourth day with the op7t pro and I've noticed that the screen on time is even worse than on my 3 years old OnePlus 3...
I'm getting 3 to 4 hours of screen on time in normal usage. Google, social media and Netflix/YouTube.
If I start playing games the sot drops below 3 hours
I'll send it back and buy another smartphone. It's not acceptable to have 3 hours of sot for a brand new flagship

have you tried a hard reset in your phone , dark mode , and battery saver as well because 7t pro can do better than that

I have a 6-8 SOT usually (90hz and automatic resolution). Give it some days to stabilize. Battery on first days was bad. Now it's amazing

I average too around 7 hours of sot. Pretty good I would say.

I'm really thinking about giving it a try but SOT is very important to me and no phone has come close to my mate 20 pro this year and I returned every one I tested. But never tried a oneplus so... Wireless charging is really something i would miss for sure so I'm still hesitating. And the mixed results given here don't confort me into buying it...

Display -FHD 90 HZ Brightnes 50% dark mode on
only wifi no sim cards on it used for netflix , youtube facebook , browser and camera

Well... Now it's even worse. I'm getting like 3 hours (of even less) of screen on time.
Automatic resolution, 90Hz, only wifi, 1/3 of brightness, black/dark mode everywhere, only social media and video (yt and Netflix).
I'll send it back. It's unacceptable for a flagship to get under 3 hours of sot. I have to plug in my OnePlus 7t pro 2-3 times a day

Many threads mention WhatsApp as the culprit. The latest beta should fix the drain.
Whatsapp Beta APKMirror

Im on my first charge 7t pro mclaren. Debloatet it, rooted and now are looking forward to drain it. Charged it to 100% and now im at 98% with screen on time 20minutes but brightness at ~30%
Will post screenshots when its drained

Amazing
55% left.... No charge beetween. Most of the time wifi. Low brightness ~30-50%. Everything blacked (substratum) also Samsung browser dark mode...
