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.

Amazing for me. Heavenly 7-11 hours of SOT ?? (mainly Youtube) but bare in mind I came from Lg v10 (2 hours at best

I got About 7 hour sot !
With gaming (clash royale, brawl stars and clash of clans)
Social media(Instagram,twitter, Telegram)
And Youtube

good sot here after adb debloat. near on par with my previous devis ( moto z play )

I get only 6 hours sot?? And yes I've made changes to the settings to optimize the battery do some units just ship with ****tier batteries?

No complains
In almost every review I saw/read of this phone I hear the reviewer complaining about the battery being worse than expected. In my experience with this phone and S8 before, SOT will slowly get better and after a couple of weeks, it will be at its best. I don't understand why this isn't noticed by those reviewers.
After about 10 days of use, I was surprised by almost 10 hours of SOT, just browsing and reading.

Amazing Battery Life!
Galaxy A50 Pro
To be honest, I bought this phone mostly because of it's screen on time! I usually get 7-8 hours SOT which I think is great! My LG G6 was a great phone, everything was awesome except the battery life! I would get 4-4.5 hours of screen on time, which was not enough! That's the reason I opted for Galaxy A50! 8 hours SOT with Super Amoled display was the sole reason!
[Galaxy A50] I use mobile data when I'm out of home, GPS is always on with the highest accuracy setting, manual brightness 40%-60%, always on display, AdGuard app, internet speed meter app running all the time! Most of time I use Chrome, Youtube, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter and some other apps.
Galaxy A50 Cons
There's few things that are terrible like Cellular Signal Strength is very poor comparing my other phones like Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro and LG G6! Mobile data really sucks! On screen fingerprint is way too slow! Even won't recognize always if you don't place your finger in the exact place of the screen! Oh man! It has been a real pain in the ass for me! I would like to get back my physical rear fingerprint from my previous phones! They are so fast and this on screen fingerprint is just crap!
Sometimes Wifi would stop working and you would probably scratch your head to figure out whats wrong! After diagnosing your router and internet connection, you would be so pissed to know that everything was just fine! Now you would reboot the phone! Bang! Wifi works again! :laugh:

Very first 1 day, 6 hours of usage after my initial 100% full charge and I'm down to 10% with 7h 12m screen on time so far. And this during a time where I have setup the phone and played extensively around with every function here and there. So far I find it amazing.

Screen on time has been great so far, especially coming from S9+. I got 2 days of usage with 6.5h SOT and 20% battery left while also off screen downloading around 40GB of Tidal data, so SOT could be even higher. The biggest improvement compared to Sammy seems to be cellular data usage. Every Samsung I had, had crazy battery consumption on either 3G or 4G - stand by and SOT drain was 2-3 times higher compared to Wi-Fi. P30 doesn't seem to care whether on Wi-Fi or data and consumes around the same. Oh, and 20 minutes of Asphalt 9 ate 5% and 20 minutes of Wi-Fi Netflix drained 2%. Both on 50% brightness. So far so good.

Not happy with the battery life so far. Screen on time less than 8hours before I need to charge, brightness <50%, saving mode activated and phone only used for Web browsing and whatsapp. Is that normal?

Amazing battery life on this phone from

7+ hrs of SOT minimum every day without fail. the only phone that finally matched the battery life of my Mate 20 Pro, of which I had two and sold the last remaining one two days ago. fare thee well my loyal friend.

Awesome battery life from this little one.
Android 10 emui 10 is better than the 9.1.
With Google Photos setup to work only when I open the be app, location history and background scanning off everything is better them my last phone OnePlus 6T.
I am amazed whit the stability of Emui, even after update without clearing cache. The visual is far better on Android 10. I am very satisfied coming to Huawei from OnePlus.

anyone move to the P30 from P30 Pro? I am thinking of moving to the P30 from my P30 Pro, but I want to make sure it has the same great battery life.

Just got the phone from a friend. First day use and have found it has amazing battery life. Much much better than the oneplus devices which I previously used. Including the 8 pro.
All settings as standard, both WiFi and data on always. No adjustments to battery settings.

8 hr 30 min SOT 9%
Phone age: Between 1 year-2 years
Usage: Browsing, youtube, messenger, medium gaming

While I don't believe you would get that amount of SOT over a prolonged period, it does point out that raw mah isn't everything.

I agree it won't get that much in real life. I am curious however how the SOT will be for people that will not use the radar, no AOD and possibly even no face unlock, stay on 60hz and just want a great camera, good speed and latest assistant and have the best Google ecosystem experience. I am that kind of user.
I looked at the 3axl but it is noticeably slow and I need a fast phone for different work needs.

no doubt, those conditions that you just stated should save a substantial amount of battery life. My 6T is 3700mah and I get around 6-8hrs sot(depending on usage) no reason to think the pixel can't achieve that with superior software.

Got the phone yesterday, charged all the way up before turning on at about 5pm. Went to bed about midnight. Galaxy S2 watch connected around 7 pm. Did setup, some netflix, and typical messing around with a new phone. Didn't screen shot it, but when I was going to bed last night, I had 4h03M SOT with 47% left. I don't expect it to translate to 7hrs or anything, but it seems better than my previous Note 9 and S8+.

Roger that on the N9! My wife's N9 looses a minimum of 10% overnight at idle. Shoot, my Chevy suburban with 6 people going uphill at 75mph gets better mileage! ???

I got the phone yesterday and charged it too 100% and my screen on time was 6hrs 5 Mon with 9% left. I don't get why the negative battery comments and reviews so far. 6 hours is more than enough.

First cycle with dynamic 90hz no point of forcing always to 90hz. Most social media apps. Tg and duo suck a lot of battery.

Lol ? it was alright when they were on data and it improved when connected to WiFi

The battery is not that bad... here are my screenshots. I am not a gaming person but I usually was surfing the internet, Facebook, etc... and use message app and did use the camera. I turned motion sense off since I am Deaf so I can't hear the music and my hands are getting tired from wave and wave.
sorry for bad grammar.

Good. Maybe the haters will STFU now

Got my 4XL yesterday and it was at 60% out of the box. I used it like normal and with more than 3hr 30min of screen on-time it was at 24%. I don't think it will be that bad.

2nd cycle I guess since it's under 75% it was at 60hz didn't notice any difference screen still very smooth.

I believe they meant the screen brightness was under 75%. When it is, the screen only runs at 60hz.

So I've had the Pixel 4 XL , for 3 full days in the UK now.
Day 1 SOT was 6 hrs 3 mins with 9% left
Day 2 SOT was 6 hrs 15 min with 4 % left
Day 3 SOT is 5 hrs 1 min with 18% left.
The battery is more than adequate. I had the 3 XL which would get a max of just over 4 hours. I'm new.to the forum but I have screenshots as well but don't have a clue how to upload lol. The phone is on 90hz at all times too But most times you can't really tell. It's an amazing phone so fast, the disappointment is video quality again and some of the pic quality is similar levels to 3 XL but I need to fully utilise the camera.

I got similar SOT with 6 hr 12 min and 9% battery left. This with using "force" 90hz , 87% brightness , and always on display (thought it was not always on!). Battery is more than adequate for my usage.

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.

Also getting 7-8 hours screen time. impressed

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.
Do you think battery will get better with time?

Your screen shot shows battery life that is massively better than any other reports I have ever seen. Literally close to double anyone else. It makes me a little skeptical.

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
