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 G6 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Second day of use with the g6 I got around 8 hours of SoT before the battery saver kicked in. My first day I got 7 hours SoT (I was also rebooting the phone a bit getting tweaks to work) I can't speak for the remaining 2 hours it claims, but I will say the battery life prediction was accurate all day. Early morning it was estimating 10hrs of life left, and that is pretty consistent.
I kept my usage pretty typical of how I use my phone on a day to day. My usage was a mix of listening to music (on device and casting), streaming video, texts, snapchat, web browsing, and a little PokémonGo. The one thing to note is that this was on wifi the whole day, YMMV if you're on cell signal.
Overall I'm simply blown away by how much performance this slim phone has. I came from the Moto X Pure (XT1575) which would get 3 hours SoT on a good day. I was only expecting maybe 4-5 hours from the g6, but to get 3x what my old phone had is life changing.
I've only had this phone for a bit over 24 hours, and I'm impressed with overall battery performance.
I've got no Wi-Fi connection at home, so I was expecting worse, but I got 4 hours of SOT today from 100% to 6%, and I'm perfectly happy with that. This is after 2 hours of streaming from YouTube, and the rest dedicated to social media, downloading apps, a little bit of gaming, and general internet browsing (on full brightness the entire time). It's way better than any other phone I've owned. My Axon 7 Mini would've been on its death bed hours earlier.
I think it's absolutely amazing the battery life this device has! Almost 7 hours of screen on the and 16.5 since last charge is just insane. My Nexus 6P would quit after about 3 hours of screen time.

Are you sure you're on a G6 and not a G6 Play? I see 8, maybe 9 hours OST on my 4000 mah G6 play. Im highly doubtful of a regular 8 hr OST with a 3,000mah battery. Can you post any more OST of this nature and also what "tweaks" you've done. Im sure people would like to know how you doubled OST of this phone.

I am certain I am on the regular G6. The reason why the G6 can match SoT with the G6 Play while having a smaller battery is because the Snapdragon 450 is just that much more power efficient over the 430. Qualcomm claims the 450 is 30% more efficient over the 435 (I couldn't find any data on it vs the 430, but we can assume it is at least 30%). This explains how regular gets around the same SoT with 25% less battery capacity.
As far as tweaks, the only power saving measure I use is the app Naptime. It uses the aggressive doze feature in Oreo to save battery life when the screen is off. This has saved me countless times when I forget to plug in my phone at night, or if the power goes out while I'm asleep. I haven't tested it too extensively, but it seems to bring the screen off drain to ~1% per hour.

Impressive! Yes I love naptime, excellent app. I get about 2 days, with 8-9 hours OST. Wife gets 7-8 but it lasts over 3 days, light use. Thanks for the reply!
Well, I've achieved 10 hours and 5 minutes of 'Screen on Time' here, five days after buying the G6, and after installing my usual complement of around 160 apps and then configured everything accordingly. I then just used the phone the way I normally use my phone. The device actually ran for 14 hours between charges, with 10 hours being Screen Time.
(See the composite screenshots below, taken from my G6 battery stats screens and also from the AccuBattery Pro app.)
I didn't do anything unusual to achieve this impressive SoT figure. The screen brightness was low, but not unusually so. Most of the time, I was browsing via Chrome and I checked my emails several times and watched an hour or two of YouTube. I used the official Wikipedia app quite a lot and played a few rounds of chess with the DroidFish chess app in conjunction with the Komodo 11 chess engine, which I suppose is a bit CPU intensive... All of which is the extent of my gaming, that and Sudoku. I generally don't bother with high octane, graphics intensive video games - they don't do my blood pressure any favours?.
This 10 hour figure though, I suspect may not be typical ~ since then, I've been achieving around 8 to 8.5 hours SoT, with the brightness level higher, and using Google Maps more. Still pretty impressive for a 3000 mAh battery.
------------------------------------------
I bought the Moto G6 to replace my HTC One M8 whose battery, after nearly four years, was pretty much knackered! It kept crashing out when the battery dipped to around 70% charge - I had to re-flash it twice due to system corruption.
And so at just £220, I'm hugely impressed with the Moto G6 ~ it's a great replacement for my antiquated M8. It looks good, runs well and the battery performance is excellent. It might not be a Premium Flagship device, but I'm very, very happy with it.
Cheers, everybody?.

Just upgraded from a G6 play to G6. Wow! Getting about 7 hours OST and really good standy by. If this phone came with the 4000 mAh battery, it would be a beast. Impressive what a more efficient processor can do!

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

wake up this morning at 6 am, batt at 100%, now at 7 pm, batt at 4%. screen on time is 6 hrs and 17 minutes.
heavy use of gmaps, Spotify, WhatsApp, few phone calls.
aod on, location on, Bluetooth on.
gmaps 20%, Spotify 20% WhatsApp 20%, rest is misc, browsing, news apps, etc,
put most app to sleep..
signal quality is average using 4g auto, no WiFi at all.
today heavy use as well similar like yesterday, screen on time only 5 hrs, battery is at 11%, probably only reach 5.30 hrs sot.., only difference is. yesterday is charged by slow charger whole night long, whereas today begin with fast charging 1 hr. I will continue the experiment tomorrow with slow charging again tonight
Totally weird this much difference between slow and fast charge. Totally waiting for you additional test results. And sot changes much after first week. Let's see.
today starts at 7 am, slow night charging.. now 10 pm battery at 18%, 5.30 hrs sot.. moderate use today, not so heavy, 50% WiFi use.., probably around 6hrs and 30 min sot again if I wait till zero..
so far so good, battery lasts whole day long during normal moderate use, don't need to charge during the day.. device never get warm as well..
will post again next week and update after a week of adjustment if its get better sot..
starts at 6 am today, now time is 11 pm
battery left 16%, screen on time is 6 hrs and 30 minutes..
moderate office use, WiFi about 70%, location on, aod on, a bit of gaming as well, very good indeed..

is it the smaller note 10 exynos? there are few sacrifices u have to make though, I believe spec wise beside exynos and battery life, note 10 is above s10 lite.., and also do use s pen?
is carrying an extra charger or charging at the office /car not possible? I would recommend you to wait and upgrade to the note 11 snapdragon instead
if u don't use s pen and some spec downgrade, then u can make the switch as trade in price is quite good. do it now before price is going down by the day..
I was using note 9 exynos, and I don't use s pen that much..

Exynos version, i dont use the s pen, i deactivated the s pen functions for a better battery life, sync too!
The important things for me are battery life and performance. Previously i had the huawei p30 (no pro) decent battery life and performance, arround a 6 - 6,5hs sot and an average of 1,5days between the charges., always in performance mode.
All day in the office, i can charge before left the office but is very annoying for me, charge twice in a day (in the morning 8am, and in the afternoon 4pm before leave the office) i dont charge overnight.
I'll sacrifice the ip rating, wireless charge, stereo speaker, camera for a better battery life, maybe? Today, huawei is not a option because the newer devices lacks of google services and the paralel intalls methods aren't 100% compatible with the apps like netflx.
I would like the p40 if recover de google services, but for now its a viable option the s10 lite. The reviews of the s20 series are bad in battery life too

yes, forget about Huawei devices for now, s10 lite is actually the best battery life performance device from Samsung right now, beating Huawei p30 even as I know I can reach 7hrs sot with s10 lite..
I use slow charging method for my s10 lite (7-8 hrs slow charge at night) as it improve battery life sot by 1 hour instead of using the 1hr fast charge method..
I don't miss my note 9 exynos, typing with one hand is now possible because of s10 lite weight.. I miss my v30 though.., if only the v30 battery life still good, I probably will still using it till now... it last 3hrs sot before I switch to note 9 exynos..
v60 is coming out so theres that option as well.., I almost got the oneplus 7t before as it has good battery life, however the amoled color and contrast is a bit dull, similar to iPhone 11 pro max display
anyway stay away from exynos if possible.. clearly not worth it, inferior battery life and heat problem as well
starts at 7 am today, now 11pm , battery left 10%, screen on time is 8hrs.., aod on, location on, WiFi 70%, average signal 4g, WhatsApp and Spotify takes around 35%, the rest is etc YouTube gaming, services..., so might last 8.30hrs sot, very good
@dvdwyn Thanks for sharing your SoT and battery life results. Just wanted to let you know, that the community really appreciates you reporting your findings.
Great SOT over period of 72h, AOD tap to show, wifi on, lte, nothing disabled. Currently on feb security update. Mostly Viber, Whatsapp, Youtube, games.:good:

I had a Oneplus 3 since october 2016 and I did not realised how bad the battery was. During the last 2 years I had 2h30 of sot MAX, mosty 2h.
With the Oneplus Nord, after the first charge I got 4h30 of sot (36 hours of usage) and still 21% battery left.
I don't game, mostly web browsing.

This has me a bit worried. I have had a Huawei mate 20 and a Xiaomi mij 9t pro that got me 6 to 7 hours easily... And those had 4000 mAh.
This proves everything is relative. It is more than enough for me.
Don't forget It was only the first cycle so I cannot conclude anything yet.
Not to bad after 4 day's actually. 5.5 hours SOT and 33% left. Most of the time spend on WiFi though.
9h
Just web browsing. Little youtube , 30 minutes or so. Wifi. Brightness auto.
Update
Well , there it is.
Battery is great. Period.
Battery is great. Usually I get 7-8 of sot. Also the charging is ridiculously fast for me as I switched from a 4 year old phone with just a 5 watt charger.

Nice how are your settings and how much standby time ?
Check on lte or 5g only and show the graphs .
Battery drainage is not just a nord domain.
Very satisfied
I only charged twice so far, but both times I barely got over 6 hours SOT. Using 60hz, on WiFi, mostly just browsing web, no gaming.

Well maybe it is so high because I did not used the phone that much then and it was new , not so many apps instaled .
Now a get max 8 hours .
So , it just hapend I guess.
One HIT wonder like. ?
I am barely getting 4-5 hours of SoT. Is there something that I need to do to boost up my battery life?
When I first got the phone battery life was just ok 4 hrs sot. After 5 days its improved by quite a bit including the latest September update.
Am on 90hz all the time. Blocked all Facebook. So far its ok. Would have been great if it had a slightly bigger battery.
I will get an 6 or 7 hrs screen on time on 90hz,
In this picture iam using continues hotspot thats why its low

I'm a bit disappointed with the SoT figures I'm getting. I would've expected 5 hours a day with at least 25% battery life left. However I'm roughly getting 4 hours by the time the phone hits Stamina mode.

You should be definitely be getting more.
I usually get 6.5 to 8 hours SOT on my Xperia 1 II. So you should be definitely be getting more than that
This is very strange. I am getting 8-9 hours of screen on time within 1-2 day usage. Try to disable everything you don't use (all the Google data collection and other ****) and see if it helps.

Same.
My Poco F1 with LCD and bigger screen has a better screen on time.
Something is fishy here, I'm using DarkMode and a low background light.
Which Software you guys are using? Mine firmware is: 58.0.A.10.21
I think it has todo with the Vodafone branded software.
58.0.A.12.23
So it is not an old Firmware issues. There must be something hardware related issues.
Does your phone also get warm while using it?
When I browse through Google News (WiFi) it gets noticeable warm.
I am happy with my battery life - fully loaded 2 days ago, now at 28% after 6h30m Screen on time.
Mine get 7.5 hours. Pretty satisfy with this phone.
I'm getting about 6 hours sot from 90% to about 19%. Not as good as I expected.
Edit: above usage with 120hz setting. For mine, the SOT fluctuates. On one of the days, the SOT was only 4hrs. Trying to find out what's taking up the usage.
It would be helpful if you write if you use 60 or 120 hz.
Battery life on 5 II is very good, SOT, 7-8h, aprox.30+hour.. 120Hz

Wow, that's a big difference. Really got to find out what's using the battery on mine.
Is now at, 46%, 28hrs, 5h8min. 120Hz. Not bad sony, not bad.

Some SS

thats crazy screen time, how does your google play services say only used for 25mins?? for me today google play services has been used for 7hrs25mins so far and its only mid afternoon i have no idea why its always on...even though google play services only uses up around 4% battery each day for me it always says used for around 10hrs each day, any tips on how i can get mine down to a respectable 25mins like yours?
Sony phones has some miraclemagic in their batteries, very good results indeed. I tested last two cycles, first with 120hz and another one with 60hz.
120hz: 100-1%, 9h 30min SOT during 41h time period.
60hz: 100-1%< 11h 36min SOT during 48h time period.
Mostly on wifi at home, lot of videos, social media and web surfing.
Power consumption at idle state is the best. I have had 4 mornings in a row with the same battery percent that was last night. 0% consumption during night. Gotta love it.
Very good battery life, with 120Hz enabled.
Do you guys actually use the "Battery saving mode" function? You know that charging the battery to 100% and discharging to 1% slowly kills the battery lifespan? That's why Sony developed this technology, so why not use it? I have set mine to 80% and charge my phone every day so my battery never goes over 80% or below 20%...
