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 P20 before depleting the battery.

3 days in and getting an average of around 6-7 SOT.
Same as my Pixel 2 ?

If u have the p20 than can u tell me does it supports HDR videos? Thanks

Pretty much the same as with my Huawei P9, it lasts a day, maybe a day and a half. And on average the screen on time is about 4 hours... Wifi is on when I'm home, and mobile data is on when i'm out. Screen brightness always on auto.

About the same here. Battery life is decent, not great.

5-6 hours SoT here

I get an average of 4hours. Cpu is more power hungry than a snaodragon 835 with a 3000mah battery having the same usage pattern.

4 hours screen on time with 5% left on the end of a day
LTE always on, wi-fi always on, nfc always on
battery not great but phone should last to the end of a day. hope huawei is now adding better batteries than it did in nexus 6p where batteries were destroyed after a one year of usage.

Weird. I'm getting a regular 6 hours SOT. Turn off auto brightness, i watched a review saying it consumes a lot of power.

Yeah, I kind of expected better SOT, but I can get by with the around 4h I currently get. Wouldn't mind having 6h, though. I'll switch auto brightness OFF and see how that affects things.

Between 7-8 hours sot plus about 2 hours of music streaming over Bluetooth with screen off for me with over 2 days usage. One of the best phones I ever had. Bluetooth on and connected to Garmin. WiFi and data always on. Automatic screen brightness activated. Few settings adjustments in order to increase sot but nothing really aggressive. I'm on B120 C782 model.

Google play store turned off automatic updates. I just check every few days if updates are available. Turned off remotely find my device under Google settings/ security. This causing a lot off wakelocks. This is completely useless option. In the case of device being stolen, bypass frp lock and flash new software is so easy just now so I think it's really pointless to keep it on. Google chrome/ data saver on. ....and under developers options all animations, windows transitions are off. Theme changed for theme from mate 10 Porsche edition. IThat's it. The rest is completely stock. Facebook and messenger apps installed. .... I don't play any games if that's makes any difference.

I get just around 5 or 6 SOT. I was hoping for more. It was the first discharge from 100%. Do you guys think is gonna improve or should I give it a factory reset?

By the way. I managed to get up to 47C cpu temp while playing games

5hrs SOT on avg. have had it for less than a week so going to monitor some more before I conclude on its efficiency.

Can anyone Pls report about screen on time? The device got updates, is it possible to get an average time of about 5-6 hours? Some reviews says the battery is bad, some say the battery is excellence...
Thanks and regards

Nobody any experience about average screen one time?

3-6h SOT on stock b164, rooted, depending on usage.

I get about 4 hours sot. Was hoping for more...im a little bit disappointed. Should I do a factory reset after updating to newest firmware 164? I'm not sure if since updating to 164 battery life has been getting more worse.

Screen on time

Approximately 4 hours of screen on time
Dual 4g enabled and moderate usage. Stand by time is great btw

With still 37 minutes of juice left, my Honor Play could stay on for 7 hours 49 minutes and 13 seconds.

Maybe something wrong... My play have a terrible battery life.

Could everyone post their average screen on time. Mine is 6-7 hours on an average with moderate gaming and everything. The games are pretty graphic intensive though, like pubg and all and by moderate I mean 1 hour.
Edit: without gaming I can easily get up to 8hours of SOT

Cuirous aswell.
Also,
How to check screen on time on this device? On Emui 8.2 / android 8.1.
Possible without apps? Gsam wasn't able to calculate, I don't know why.

In setting/battery /battery usage/hardware/screen

The battery life is very good on my Honor Play. Since I use this as my gaming phone, when my screen is on I'm usually playing games. Even then, the better will get me through a full day.

How do you get 8+ hours? Are you on oreo or pie and what is your screen brightness at?

I'm on pie my brightness is mostly around 25% except for 3hrs when I'm travelling during which it is at 50% probably.

I too get 8+ hours sot. I am on EMUI 9.0.0.189. With 1 hour of PUBG sot drops to 6 hours. I have 2 sims with volte, mobile data on 90% of the time, auto brightness and auto rotate enabled, location disabled.

Try using power saving mode after 30%, you'd be surprised.

Seems like I set my brightness too "high" at around 70% on Oreo to get that kind of screentime.

Don't know. Generally with auto brightness I do not notice. But its around 50% when I manually adjust sometimes. The auto brightness calibration is good so there is lesser need for me to change the brightness manually.

My battery seems to last longer than I expect in most cases. I set the screen brightness for the display to automatic control. The system manages it better.

Yup, auto brightness is caliberated really well. I only use manual brightness while either playing or during night time when I put it to minimum with eye comfort on.

Does Emui 8.1 not learn brightness preference on auto brightness ?

How without pubg it can touch 8 hours of screen on time. Mine is on 7hrs in SS but I am pretty sure I can squeeze another hour out of that last 10-13%.

I am getting 9-10hours SOT consistently on the P30 Pro, mine is the 256GB 8GB RAM version, and I have been thoroughly enjoying the camera and battery life.

8 but i have another 20% battery so i can make it 10.

I am definitively not getting that much.
Right now I have 29% battery left with 4,5 h of SOT and 1,5 hours of calls, couple of pictures taken yesterday. BT was on the whole time connected to my watch GT, Wifi on, 4G on.
I just updated yesterday afternoon to version 124. Maybe it improves over time.

What's the best way to drain less battery? Keep WiFi on or Mobile Data on or both at the same time?

With a normal use (from 5:45 to 17:45) with
auto brightness, 2 wearable connected, 4h of music via BT, GPS always on, 1h of voice call... I made 9h of SOT within 48 hours (with a single charge)

I have a problem. The battery menu can not be more than 6h SOT. I do not know where I'm wrong. can he help?

I have the same problem. I think since the update the battery drain is insanely fast.. No rogue apps, just fb, messenger, and mostly of them are put to manual mode.. What is going on, pls help. Also it can barely go through 24h without charging, mostly 5h on screen time max..

Coming from moto z play battery on p30 pro is a sad joke. 6-7h SOT charged on the morning, empty at the evening, with screen dimmed as much as i can, either by app that lowers auto brightness by 50%, or lowering it manualy. I have read reviews that stated great battery life, so either they were misleading or maybe i should turn it to the service. 124 software, but it wasn't any better before the update.

Hmm gsam :/

Sounds like a faulty device. You should be getting 8 hours and over for SOT

Good
11 hours SoT. Auto brightness. Pretty goood. :good:

But was auto brightness at the minimum value, possible only in darkness?

How the hell do you get 11h on screen time with one charge????

Either with screen dimmed so it's visible only in total darkness + wifi internet... or in fact some people have outstanding battery and other got horrible.

I always end my day with 50-60% left and 4-5hrs of sot. Auto brightness and mobile data.

The brightness was average 50%. It has to be mentioned that the battery is hugly affected which apps that are used. As you can see from my post i used reddit and youtube a lot when i got 11 hours SoT.
I have experienced 6-11 hours SoT. So 7 hours is not bad... It all depends on which apps that are used.

I have charged it this morning, now It has past 2h and 45 min since the charging, screen on time 52 min and 88% left. It says only 20h are left before the battery runs out.

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..

Do you recommend this model? I have a note 10 (not plus) right now and the battery life is poor.. arround 4,5hs sot 70% lte 30% wifi. Light gaming for 1 hour... medium power saving ,dark theme

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:

the battery of the phone is garbage... imho
5000 mah and the screen time is 5-6 hours.
trhe problem is the display that drain all the charge. i see the battery information right now 6 hours of screen , 92% of display battery usage, all the rest are applications and system. hope that xiaomi and poco will fix something.

That's really disappointing. I had a oneplus one with a similar display and similar on screen time. But with a much smaller battery. I expected at least 8 hours of screen time for poco x3.

Guys yesterday I achieved 4.15 hours of sot with 50% battery left. 50/50 WiFi and 4g, heavy usage. With 120hz.

yea, exactly... on pocophone f1 i pushed around 9 10 hours.. easily .. i gues more optimisation is needed, i dont believe that 845 ifs more efficient than 732g .. cmon its 5000mah battery this thing should last at least 11-12 h sot

i get now 81 % and 1:30 sot on wifi auto brightness 120 hz its not bad but battery its 5k check it in accu and it show 5160 so its not the battery maybe its that 120hz
But some ppl are reporting really nice sot around 10h is there any chance to check our screen manufacturer maybe Xiaomi use few different panels in poco 3 in check hw info app form gp and service menu but i can't find this info.

Usual for me is 6-7 hrs sot with 50% left
120hz activated
So the battery is awesome

According to AccuBattery I got about 12h SOT, thats about what I expected.
Medium usage, 120hz activated, energy saving off.
I guess the adaptive refreshrate helps a lot to save energy, e.g. it quite instantly drops to 30hz if watching a normal Youtube video.

It's strange this problem, 90% of display battery usage, it's a bug ? a global problem ?

After the update I have better battery endurance, 51% left with 5 hours SOT and just a tiny charging time during the day.

If someone has a battery issue you can try what i just did yesterday. Go to about the phone and update click in the right upper corner and click download newest update or something like that it will download full 2.4 gb rom and after that just do the update, maybee that 240 mb was quack
Now i have pretty decent sot i think but its only the begining

Battery for now seems really good
Played some light games, wifi always ON
edit:
120hz OFF
sync OFF
MIUI optimizations OFF on dev settings
I was indoors alot so brightness was probably low
I'll post again with 5-10% battery

i'm getting about 6-7% battery per hour of SOT on 60hz screen.. i will test 120hz the next full charge, but i suspect its about 10% per hour of SOT..

Hi. What kind of usage?
---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------
I'm a little disappointed for the battery life of this Poco X3. At least for me: with normal usage, under wifi, social and messaging apps, with 60hz refresh rate I get maximum 6/7hrs SoT. I hope it will be optimize in next updates.
