It is really good. What is your theme? Do you think your screen is really deep black like amoled?

The black is not as deep as mi5 but the sunlight visibility is superb.
Just some random black themes, I mix matched the themes. Main theme being used is Black Joker (DD)

SoT varies on what you are doing.
2 hours reading your digital book is vastly more efficient than 2 hours playing 3D games.

I got almost 5hours sot average usage. Whatsapp, twitter, a little of youtube and etc. No games tho.

3hrs on heavy gaming and streaming with 55% left. I am loving this device ? on miuims 7.5.25

I guess the claim that the sd835 produce less heat is also true. This is what I like about the 10nm SoC; on sd820, when I try to play dolphin emu; the temp easily reach 43-45°C on MIUI (on LOS based rom is better).
But sd835 my highest temp is yet to reach 41°C.

This is the first time i see a wonderful 4G SOT, but, can you post all battery statistics?

My sot
Wifi only

Here you go

Is it really less heat in sd 835
Now, i use mi5s (sd821) heat easy up especially in tropical
So, i intend to upgrade to mi6

epic rom

I get 7 hours of SoT with some gaming.

I'm on Epic ROM right now but I've tried Global as well. I'm really disappointed with the battery life of Mi6. I'm getting around 4h of SoT and the battery lasts a little over a day (mostly on wifi, zero gaming). That's even less than my 3 year old OnePlus One. I hope it changes when Xiaomi releases kernel sources for Mi6 and AOSP ROMs start popping up which I believe will cut a lot of bloat off of MIUI.

I'm running xiaomi.eu with MIUI and memory optimisation disabled. I'd made a few calls, used the GPS for about 20 minutes, streamed music and mainly used it for browsing. Amazing performance.

How do you got that theme? Or is it new in miui? I used miui 9 before, but same old skin..

I think the appearance of the battery stats changes when you disable MIUI optimisations. I'm also running an old version of cstheme which I downloaded from the MIUI thread rather than the theme app (as the latest version doesn't theme the settings menu in blue).

Which version are you running? xiaomi.eu miui 9 weekly? Thats a nice result you have got. I am running global developer version but my SOT dropped by 1-2 hours because of standby drain. Any idea how to improve it?

Battery Life

Hey guys,
how's your battery life going? I'm rather pleased with it so far. This is my first day with the phone on stock with no mods or special battery apps.
Can you guys recommend a battery app to restrict background leeching?
Cheers

Screen-on time? I got on my first charge 30hrs. off the charger and 5,5 hrs. SOT with 7% left.

From 92% to 10%, with hardcore installing, making nearly 100 photos and some videos, and gaming, running tests, im get more than 4 hour SoT.
Stock OS, no mods.

On wifi or 4g?

60% left, 3.2h sot, only wifi (no sim card), location on

First full cycle. Im pretty pleased with the battery. Stock rom and kernel. Magisk as root and no battery saving apps. Didnt even use battery saver once it hit 15%.
7hr sot with moderate usage. A little bit on clash of clans. quite a bit of web browsing on chrome. Used facebook, messenger, tandem and other apps quite a bit. Also used wifi 90% of the time and LTE the other

Naw, normal day, mix (wifi and 4g).
It's about the same like 3T but I will sell it.

Very impressed with battery backup.
First charge (full) since I received the device, everything stock.
Medium to high usage over 36-38 hours, setting up, installing apps, gaming a little, videos, browsing. Mostly on WiFi, maybe a couple of hours on 4G:
15% battery remaining

After today's oxygen update my battery has gotten significantly better. It may also be a case of the battery settling in after a few days. I went from losing 30% in 2 hours idle in my pocket yesterday to losing 30% in 9 hours using it throughout work today. Color me impressed. And this is coming from the Moto Z play. A battery beast!!!

Share Battery life and performance

Guys please post you battery life and brenchmerks on nougut and marshmallow so that we can decide which one is better. Some people experiencing poor battery life in nougut. Share screenshot of battery stat and gsm battery monitor and other battery monitoring app. And sorry for bad english.
My rom is stock nougut. Cell standby 2 percent. Phone idle 3 percent. Screen 14 percent.
Screenshot is bellow.

No screenshot on my side but for me the Nougat update has revived the phone: much better battery life (+1h SOT I would say), run cooler, less stutters, smooth scrolling in chrome, fast wifi connection and all the nougat advantages. I haven't seen bugs apart from the system UI tuner that resets itself.
I am running 100% stock, took the OTA when it was offered to me and made a factory reset.

I'll try to remember next week, I switch back to my S7 for the weekend.

Getting almost 4 hours of SOT on my 8 months old device.

My device is 14 months old and I use dual sim cards, mostly I'm on WiFi.
I get 1.5-3 hours of SOT generally. I generally have to charge my phone 3 times a day.

Stock nougat
Only using WiFi
Mostly browsing and videos on YouTube.
Getting 4 to 4.5 hours of sot.

I manage to have 5 hours SoT with android stock funcionalitys only. I am doing test but i maybe i will create a teadh latter to explain how to get more SoT.

I have 2hr SOT. VERY POOR. NEED TO CHARGE 3 TIMES A DAY

Here are my screenshots. I was mostly on WiFi during the day, did a lot of reading/browsing, a little YouTube, and gamed for around 30 minutes. Before I would have needed to recharge mid-afternoon and was getting 2:30/3h max SOT a day.
I'm extremely pleased with the update.

After doing a heavy tweaking of the phone without root i managed to get more than 5 hour of SoT. After that i was getting an unaceptable 3hs SoT.

XDA APP
Gboard
Messenger
Textra
Chrome
.....
Use app create for your phone (By samsung : Message, internet browser, Keyboard...) and you can see imediatly the difference in smoothness and battery drain .
For example "Don't tuning your car, use the stock part for more security...)
Uncle Samy has expensive R&D department for make application specific for your phone, use it.
That not a troll but, for that apple is smart.
And don't use ton of apps. You can use all option with your phone (AOD, Smart alert, Smart stay......) without any problem because all of them are CREATE FOR YOUR PHONE !
I hope you understand me my english is bad....

My friend under no circumstances is it acceptable to have such appalling battery life. The only time it is acceptable is if you do heavy gaming. In all other conditions this phone should hit 5 to 7 hrs SOT,

YouTube will always use a lot of battery, especially if there's not an optimal 3g/4g/wifi connection.

we are on the same page bro.. ? noting to do thinking of getting pixel 2xl or oneplus 5t

i know many apps drain battery..but after buying a 750$ phone, it's obvious i would use it as much as i want.. but it's not happening.. if one needs to DEBLOAT, block notification etc things, shouldn't they get nokia 3310? fully DEBLOATED no lag and excellent battery..
btw i don't have any defect in my phone... and i don't get easily 6h.. that's what the post is about..

8-9 hrs SOT is just not possible on s8. Its an outlier if its true. Even on Wifi, one might get 5 hrs to max 6 hrs SOT. I would ask folks who are getting it to do a video of their phones and usage to confirm this kind of SOT.
The issue is with standby time and not with actual battery consumption. Sammy's experience 9.0 is also not as optimized as vanilla android. OEMs like Huawei & Xiaomi just nuke their background apps and hence folks get higher standby and thus more SOT
@sp1312 Indian telcos are not optimized for 4G. The max SOT you'lll get on a good day with mixed (wifi+4G) would be about 4-5 hrs which I am experiencing.

Yes i agree.. i was using reliance jio which only works with VOLTE and it was consuming a lot of battery.. now i have disable the volte sim it seems kind of Ok.. see in the below screen shot stand by time at over the night is very good.. it drain only 3-4% over the night...

i also have 4% of drain which is pretty annoying though..hope it will be fixed the oreo official builds ??
i used oneplus one few months back.. if i sleep with 100% it'll stay 100% after 9-10h of sleep.. that's how i got more sot..

Don't lose sleep over an hour or two of SOT. Just enjoy the phone. As far as it lasts a day, everything is fine.
The trick to higher SOT is keep it's screen on for a few minutes randomly. When I read books on Kindle app or keep looking at photos, my SOT shoots up by an hour. There is usually nothing wrong with our phone, unless there is abnormal battery drain per hour. 2-4% on 4G is absolutely fine.

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 Xiaomi Mi 8 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Can any of the device owners share their experience so far with it?

I'm on xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 open beta so battery life can be better when it's stable. Buts it's pretty decent right now I'm happy with it.
15 percent per hour if display is on. If display off than 0.5 percent.
On my usage I get two days.

Battery life is a good surprise, I'm using xiaomi eu

My MI 8 can reach upto 7h30 on-screen time, how about you #5 and #n?

The battery is what I was looking for in a smartphone. Constantly using it (web browsing, facebooking, gaming, youtubing, etc.) for a day, it could last around 8hrs or more, playing games heavily it could drop to 6hrs. I have been using the phone for around 2hrs per day, and it could last up to 3 days. Ah, I have Always-On enabled. My rom is still China, waiting for bypass time to unlock it.

How do you get that SOT? I'm on xiaomi.eu 8.8.30 and max I get is 5 hours

So you are on miui 10 beta, i am still on miui 9.6.7, i hope it is not the issue. I put most of my apps to "not running in background", some are set with no restriction. But the system still kills all apps once in a while, i am new to xiaomi phone so I still dont know if this can be disabled or not. I have not installed all of my daily drive apps because I want to unlock the bootloader and flash global rom first, i also hope this is not the issue
My normal standby drain is about 12hrs for 10%. Oh, I do go battery settings to solve any detected issues when I am on break. I also hide the notch.

Battery life is solid, running china dev and i get 2 days with total ot 5+ hours SOT. For a non stop use indoor i can go 8+ hours

xiaomi.eu ROM (up to 8.8.30) drains battery fast, 15-20% per hour with screen on, = maximum of 4.5-5h SOT. With global stable or global beta ROM getting around 8-8.5h SOT, 10-15% during usage.

Yesterday i bought the phone, fully charged and at 25% i got 7h+ screen on time.. which is completely amazing!! Global stable 9.6 here..

You can easily get over 7 hours of SOT, and more than 30 hours on one charge.
