after the first charging i was disappointed but after the 4. charging the battery-capacity is better then beginning.
now i get 10 - 11 hours SOT - 3 to 4 days for me
display-brightness 85 %- german vodafone as provider, energy-saving-mode on, dark theme, 8 h mobile data on and 8 h. wifi on at one day. 1 h bluetooth on and listening music via bluetooth, whatsapp, browsing, some simple card-games and taking photos every day

Good battery, mostly over 10 hours SOT
Easy 10 hours and half of it used for Sling and Philo
The latest screen on time and battery
Mobile standby on this phone is a rog!

The Moto G7 Power gets anywhere between 11-14 hours SOT while the G Power only reaches the 10 hour mark. I hit 20% after 5 hours of constant use on the Uber app which is disappointing. It seems that the adaptive brightness is much higher on the G Power compared to the G7 Power. On the G Power it's anywhere between 4-15% higher brightness in low light settings which explains the lower battery life. I haven't done testing to verify this but maybe someone else could.

No the reason it gets worse battery life is because the screen is 1080p not 720p like the G7
The battery life is insane, can hardly believe it myself
No more battery anxiety for me lol.
Yesses I'm loving the battery life on the g power. Definitely a breath of fresh air coming from a Razer Phone 2 with a shoddy battery. Went from having to charge my phone 2-4 times a day to going 2-3 days without needing to charge my phone. I think I will forever stick with Moto at this point rofl.
Improved battery after the September patch, so strange! Looks like I'll hit 16hrs at this rate.
Also looking forward to the G9 Power. According to the FCC Moto certified a 6000mah phone!! ?
Battery and power management on this device is top notch.
About 12-15 hours, I did a little trick with adb to mak my resolution 720p it helps get that extra few hours.
Ex. # adb shell wm size 720x1600 and then you can change the dpi with. # adb shell wm density 320

My battery stats
Hey there!
I bought this phone on Monday and I started using it yesterday. Here is a screenshot of my actual battery.
I've used 3G and Wi-Fi, downloaded some apps and used GPS a bit. Now I'm using only 2G connections and the brightness is set to low.
Very happy with it!
Just a request
When you all post battery Screenshots please mention the on screen time all of you get and if possible mention the brightness also
Addition
Mention screen on time...
Mention rom (when available lol)
If possible mention ur personal setup like u greenify apps or not...
First charge.
5h screen on, autobrightness, 1 1/2h gps and some other game testing so pretty much like the old G
Seems very solid, 5h SOT. I might be joining your community soon
On average usage it will last for one day
The battery life is better than what I expected. It has dual sim and a large screen but still manages around a day on battery.
Managed to get slightly over 7 hours before the phone shut off.
GPS: Power saving mode
Screen: Brightness set to indoor conditions (manual / below 10%)
ROM: Default
Battery Saver: Disabled
Battery saving apps: None installed
WiFi and Sync: Always enabled
Screen Time Out: 2 minutes after inactivity
Usage: Mainly Facebook, Chrome, WhatsApp, few YouTube vids and Google Docs. Nothing intensive.
Phone charged from 0-100% in under 2 hours without entering the OS. I used Anker Power IQ 40W 5-port desktop charger and Moto's USB cable. Back of the phone remained cool throughout. Could have squeezed more life out of the battery by setting screen time-out to 30 seconds, but I'm happy with 7 hours. Used to get between 3.30 to 4 hours on my NEXUS 4.
Moto G has one of the most (if not the most) efficient SoC (especially the CPU core). So the biggest improvement to battery life comes from adjusting the screen manually. Don't use auto brightness if possible and keep the brightness low without sacrificing image quality. Mine is set to below 10%.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask :good:
Impressive

WOW, that's really impressive. Yes, auto brightness can drain the battery soon. I use auto brightness whenever I'm outdoors for a couple of hours and I get 5+ hrs of usage. Very happy with the battery life.

Over someone?
I'm in doubt between G and the new Moto Moto X (2014)
Who has better screen time on 3G / 4G will take my money.
No gaming in this cycle of battery charge
But internet use is there over Wi-Fi.

Very happy with battery life. Very first charge, just received phone in the afternoon and was fully charged by 3:30 or 4. Downloading applications, syncing accounts, installed GTA:SA and played a tiny bit(used a controller through OTG) snapped pics, took some slo no videos and auto brightness. Texting, IM'ing, some YouTube videos, etc and also music, which sounds amazing through the speakers!
Not bad at all
Battery is not bad. I was using Wi-Fi n downloaded applications. Still I got it for 20 hrs n had around 15% left.

Yeah I was kinda amazed. Wasn't expecting 7 hours. Expect the battery to increase even further when Android L is released
Five hours screen time
Pretty good for Android phone
My new Moto G has been amazingly good with respective to Battery backup. :good: When phone is idle... it is alove for almost 1 and a half day... Amazing.. I also had Lumia 520.. It could last for 2 days and still have juice left.. Very impressed..
I find the battery life to be average, I get about 3.5 to 4 hours of screen on time. Which is what most phones get, but the original G could go for 5hours. And by about 7pm, my battery run out.
You could get 5hours screen on time if you stay indoor and connected to WiFi all the time and on 50% screen brightness, but this is not for someone who is moving about, being outdoor and not connected to WiFi during work.
Battery is pathetic...The phone was in deep sleep for 8 hours. Battery consumed while in deep sleep, was 1% per hour
What's wrong? Feels like eclair days...

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!

First of all, GSM Arena's unit was faulty and didn't do well in their test. Battery life on this phone is superb even though it has "only" a 3000 mah battery. I got 5 hours and still 15 percent left. I have to go to bed now so I'm gonna put it on charge but it lasted me all day and more.
I'm using a Huawei Watch 2 connected all day through Bluetooth (that drains a lot), 2 SIM cards, WhatsApp and WhatsApp business and loads of social networking.
Motorola does some really high quality batteries. It's probably better than other phones with 3500 - 4000 mAh.
I'm also satisfied with the SOT.
I was also positive surprised about battery life, I get between 5 and 6 h sot, much better than my LG G6 who has a bigger battery on paper but only gets around 5 h sot in real life.
Can anybody confirm that battery is long lasting for people who don't have screen turned on all the time? I'm giving screenshots for my good old g5s plus.

Not as good as that but close
An example of what I'm getting so far as not a very heavy user, definitely better than my G5+ with same size battery.

That's super good. Can't believe people and blogs are spreading so much hate of this phone.
I am Not very Happy with my screen on time,but it is ok.
The Phone is awesome,i Like it very much.
Another example: this time a little better at almost 7 hrs SOT at 15%.
And another for over 8 hrs at 15%.
Do you guys use your phones? You seem good candidates for flip phones. Just teasing.
Glad to see the Plus is doing so well. I opted for the dual sim Power. I'm gettin 12-14 hours screen time and have no problems breaking 40 hours. I backpack a lot and wanted the longer battery life for mapping and music while out in the back country for a few days. I have to say I am impressed. the 720 display on the Power is pretty nice for a 720 but it does have a flipping big notch.
I'm getting over 5 and a half hours of SOT. :good: (Right after a factory reset)
What's up?
I'm getting this:
I was using mostly Chrome and about 20 minutes playing Asphalt 8 and using camera for about 3 minutes. Brightness is at about 50% usually.
If I have brightness on 100% (outdoor in sunny days) I'm getting about an hour less SoT during the same time frame (22 hours).

I charged to full after receiving the phone yesterday. Took it off the charger around 6:45p. It's now 1:15p the next day and I'm at 9% battery remaining. I had mixed use between social media, YouTube, Spotify and some light gaming with using the big screen 85% of the time. Screen brightness and display settings are all default.
Managed 7 hours SOT which should improve after a few days.

Yesterday, I got six and a half hours SOT with and hour and a half of phone calls. If the battery life continues, I'll be happy. Had the adaptive brightness on and the adaptive screen refresh rate on. Only social media was WhatsApp and Discord.
also am part of the 6-7h screen on time gang. not intensive usage though.
This is a SOLID TIME FOR ME JUST OVER 8 HOURS on screen and as you can see i was playing a game for a hot minute.
5.5 hours 4g full day. main usage on inner screen ..
its actually pretty bad for a 4500mah phone. it need to be constantly charged ..
Some of the posters posting images from the stock battery usage chart fail to mention that those screen on times also include duration of when the device was plugged in charger.
not the best, somewhere around 6 hours sooo
Max brightness and aod im at like 4-5 hours SOT.

Its actually not 8hrs. Use an app called accubattery for a charge to charge battery backup time. The standard builtin battery monitor in samsung phones are measuring battery life from 12 to 12 midnight. So as your screen shot clearly shows, you charged the phone around 3am, so 12-3am screen on time plus 3 till full charge if the screen was on, all these count towards the screen on time as per samsung. Which obviously doesn't show the actual screen on time per charge.
Did u guys measure the sot when your z fold 2 have finish measuring the usage pattern and shows how long battery life left or before? so far still learning usage pattern getting around 7 hours of sot with both inner and outside screen usage. pretty solid especially with 120hz display
Fold 2 owner for 1 week now. I am averaging between 4-5.5 hours of SOT and this is over 24h (average) on one charge.
My device is currently set up with adaptive refresh, adaptive brightness, radio is set to 5G Auto (so I'm bouncing around 5G, LTE+ & LTE) and mixed unfolded/folded but mostly unfolded (30/70).
I'm quite impressed considering my N20U gets 3.5 to 5h of SOT at QHD/60HZ, same 5G settings.

16 hours with 60% battery DOD(depth of discharge). Spread over 3 days and 3 hours. Web browsing and social media mostly, with some selfies and stuff. Phone connected to towers all the time. No flight mode. Bluetooth, GPS, etc whenever required. Battery saver on (good to reduce standby drain )
You can get another 10 hours with 100% DOD, if you don't want to maximise battery health.
Full day of screen on time!
The CPU is super efficient and Moto has done a great job in optimising it further. Battery feels nuclear.
Samsung M51 can't compete even with a 7000mAh battery. That one lasts longer only in watching porn coz it's Amoled.
Edit: Grammar and emojis
Got my MG9P on 27th. Battery seems to be incredible so far - at 67% current SOT 5H 31 min. Phone was charged 23 h ago - first charge to 100%.
Phone suprised me in how responsive it is ^^
Heavy use, phonecalls, messaging, some music, bluetooth on, wifi on, looking really good after 2 days
The battery life of this is truly amazing. Depending on your use, this will last a long, long time. During normal use, watching videos and the like, the battery drops at a rate of about 3% per hour, which is good, and if it is idle, it drops at 1% every hour.
Easily lasts for 2 days from 100 to 0, and on less use, will last even more.
I charge from 20 to 80 to maximise the longevity of the battery, even still, it lasts me 2 days.
Excellent battery.

Just bought the G9 to test it's battery-life,
This is my first 100% usage with it, 12h SOT over 1 day++ with 4h of them playing Gc. Guess I could get 15h SOT over 2 days+ with light usage.
Update on last post. Very good battery-life Beats my Asus ROG phone that has the same batterycapacity
