Update: So I followed a couple others' advice and did a factory reset and did not restore from backup.
It has made a huge difference. Phone battery life is way better now and it seems to charge quicker--both wired and wirelessly.
So, if you're having poor battery performance, and you restored your phone from backup, try doing a factory reset and not using your back up (re-import Contacts from Outlook, for example).
04.14.2020 So I've spent the past two days getting my V60 set up and things transfered from my old V30. It sucks, by the way. After more than two decades, moving to another phone still works very imperfectly.
Anyways, I've been downloading files non-stop via wifi and mobile. Also lots of SD card access. I've been browsing, listening to music, and also watched some YouTube here and there.
I started around 8am and I had to plug my phone in at 7:50pm.
That's way longer than my V30 but its battery has been going downhill for some time. I think I was expecting more use out of this heavy brick of a phone. It's great, but seems low. I don't know if that is something that will improve with use. (is that a thing? Like breaking in headphones?)
I get maybe 11 to 12 hours of SOT with heavy usage. that's with the dual screen case although I don't use the dual screen too much it definitely isn't left alone lol
I get about 9-10 hours of SOT. YMMV, of course, but for me the battery life on the V60 is significantly better than the S10+ (6-7 hours), particularly the standby drain rate.
So, the battery life has been great, although I've only had the device for about 36hrs. But I have a question, is it normal for the "estimated time remaining, screen to just always say " analyzing? It never changes. I've circled it in the screen below

How is battery consumption for 1 or 2 or several hours of music listening (in percent) ?
I guess that counts as "light" usage
I personally get excellent battery life. I average 2 days and on occasion will get a 3rd out of it. Im not a heavy user, but I use Tidal on Master audio settings with My cans when I listen to audio for periods at a time and see low drain, im happy. I bought the phone within a month of its official launch on US carriers.

Thank you
Anyone else can share their experience with (local) Music Playback and battery consumption ?
e.g. 3 hours = 5-15 % or so ?
I'm trying to get an experience/knowledge how much battery this consumes with vendor optimized ROMs (such as LG's) on Snapdragon 835
i travel ~1.5 to work each day by train, i listen to music (bluetooth headphones) in this time and check Google maps once or twice. when i arrive at work, my battery is usually still above 95%
A full day's light use consumes only about 15-30% with this V30S.
That's with display adjusted to lowest moderate brightness per given ambient lighting, and turned off whenever not actually being viewed.
However, a mechanical 2.5" USB hard drive running on OTG power drains the battery down much faster. Maybe 20-25% drained in about 10 minutes of hard drive use including file transfers.
This implies that the battery runtime performance of the V30S is largely a result of more efficient SD835 and display, maybe SW optimizations too.
I've been unplugged for 33h and I'm at 50%
battery with 2 short phone calls, 12h Spotify via Bluetooth, 2h news reading (nyt app), handful of photos and videos and 50 WhatsApp messages.
I don't really care about sot because I am a light user, but it seems I can easily get 2-3 days out of the 30+, not sure if others get out more but I'm pretty happy about it.

the battery life with this thing is amazing, I am highly surprised how much longer it lasts Vs note 3.
I had literally been watching Netflix through WiFi on my phone for at least 12 hours and at that point it still had about 12% battery.
9.5/10
This is my measurement from todays usage.
100% at 7:25 AM
Constant music for one hour with browsing on 4G. 4G remained all the time
Every 15 min, unlock to check browser/FB
80% at 11 AM
Constantly using on 4G to use FB Messenger
66% at 1:50 PM
Some calls and browsing/FB
50% at 4:27 PM
Music for one hour at full brightness
37% at 6 25 PM
All the time 4G was on nad brightness meter at around 70-75%.
Not a bad performance for a 6" display
I think it's good, too. While playing Pokemon GO at very high brightness I can still manage 4 hrs. When playing other games like Super Hexagon it's at least 5.5 hrs. I think it would be very hard to get this phone empty in less than 4 hrs.
Losing 5-10% an hour with data and mobile hotspot on. Decent, but could be better. Also facebook might be draining the battery, so I'll also test without facebook.

I guess this is more medium use than heavy or light, but coming from a 6p with a dying battery and the shut off issue, I woke up this morning on 100%, unplugged it at 4am when I woke up to close the windows and go back to sleep, with my phone set up from unboxing it yesterday, but not 'de-bloated' or anything. Wifi, BT,Data and Location are on, the auto screen adjustment is taking care of that, and I've been:
Facebook
Messenger
Hangouts
Browsing Forums
Playing a few games
Showing it off to colleagues etc
Currently sat at 81%, which is very impressive, 6p would be on charge by now! Will see what it's like with the same sort of use (which is my usual use tbh) by bedtime.
Coming from the, 1+5 with a smaller battery i did expect more stamina, albeit with a higher resolution screen as well as larger.
But even with the same apps installed and the same routine it just doesnt compare.
Cleared 10 hours SOT with the 1+5 quite easily, the pro barely makes that.
Probably the system or CPU /GPU causing it.
Nothing wrong with the battery but there are definitely better performers out there
I think it's pretty enduring with light usage.
With the last charge, I had 2,5D of standby and 5.5h DOT. Mostly web, emails and Toy Blast because I was stuck in a traffic jam for hours and needed something to play....
how the hell are you guys achieving these numbers? i'm at 26hrs standby, only 1:03 SOT, and i'm at 52 percent. i've optimized the living hell out of the settings and app starts. at least i know what's possible for others
How long have you been using it? I'm currently at 26h standby, 0.4h DOT and 84%. I have already ran a data backup, been on the phone for 40 minutes and did some emailing. BUT let me tell you, it was not like this from the beginning. I also have been optimizing the phone like a maniac because out of the box, I would only get like 30h standby and 2.5h DOT which is ridiculous. But I only recently noticed that the phone got gradually better after around 3 weeks with this device.
With light use, I am getting through two days of use before I have to recharge. Pretty standard.
I was very busy this week and didn't have much time to use my phone and here what happened , my SOT was 3 hours 28 minutes but idle time is interesting
Of course, this is not my usual result, usually i charge my phone every second or third day, and sot can be 10 hours, so i'm happy with battery, definitely

I am sorry in advance not trying to insult or anything when it comes to battery life of any smartphones in general
But under heavy usage. How long can this phone last?
I'll be travelling soon so i need the longest battery possible
=============================================
If anyone is kind enough to conduct one test on this device
There is an app called "photorealism benchmark 2018" (very heavy GPU infinite test)
If someone can download this free and let the phone run from 100% > 0% with around 30% brightness on WIFI and see
I doubt it can last more than 5 hours of screen on time running this app
Hey. I think I will soon upload my experience with light and heavy day to day usage. But if you like to know a bit more about the battery life, maybe this could already help you:

Thanks so much for replying.
I really love to see someone with 5000 mAh battery would do continuous hours test of running any 3D graphic app
like
1: Running 3D benchmark app from 100% > 0% with 40% of brightness and everything on
2: Playing / grinding levels in RPG/MMORPG games
3: Playing games continuously 100% > 0% with 40% brightness and everything on

Well I don't know if I will do some all day long 3d Benchmarks. And I don't think it would suit my needs in daily usage to be honest. I can only give info about the stuff I do with my phone day in and day out. But I will try to get some benchmarking out of your suggestions. But don't expect all too much ? I will do some heavy usage in terms of social apps, media apps, software usage, streaming and gps/ wifi/ data.

Thanks for taking your time and report in advance.
You do not have to run benchmarks just leave screen on with some 3D application on (motion 3D app that runs till battery dies)
Heavy usage in terms of social apps wifi can last you like 8-10hrs easily with 5000 mAh
(but everything else is on AS WELL AS 3D app) >> 5-6 hrs max of REAL SOT

Ok. I think I can do that. In terms of SOT i think the 720p display is also an advantage in terms of battery life. I will try to test with video and 3d application. Do you maybe have something in mind to use?

There are 2 major benchmark tests for free on GOOGLE PLAY
1: Photorealism 2018
2: A bit less power consumption Seascape
(im pretty sure photorealism 2018) will eat this 5000 mAh in about 5-6 hours from 100% > 0% with everything else is on (Sync,40% brightness, Wifi, LTE etc...)
Some people do battery drain with wifi only etc.. i think thats bit off
I prefer to test battery with all options TURNED ON (50% brightness, autosync, lte, cellular, gps)
Then i do battery drain with super heavy 3D tasks
(In this case, i call it under REAL HEAVY ENDURANCE)
1: Photorealism 2018
2: A bit less power consumption Seascape
Sorry i didn't reply that long. I had some health issues. But i'll take those as indicator.
How good is heavy multitasking on this? Several apps open, a lot of browsing on Chrome, frequent WhatsApp/Viber and social media scrolling and camera snaps every now and then?
Moto = dog**** USB ports?
The USB port in my last Moto G(6) went out in about 4 months. I assumed it was a fluke, but 3 months in on the g7, its already 96% gone. VERY specific and random angles will charge but nothing else. Tried different cords, cleaning port, etc (both on this and the g6), doesnt matter. My only conclusion is that Moto uses cheap garbage on one of the most essential parts of the phone. Can anyone confirm this? Im sure I use my USB more than than the common person (Android development) but **** is 3 months a JOKE
Heavy usage experience - IMHO
I have used the Redmi Note 4S, Mi Max 2, Redmi Note 8T and Motorola G7 Power. My typical day is dealing with lots of email, web browsing, whatsapp, wechat some facebook and all the banking software. Mi Max 2 has been my choice of phone for a long time even though it barely carry me through the day. I start normally at 6am and finishes around 9pm. Since using Motorola G7 Power, 95% of the time it will still have power left after 9pm.... normally 20% battery or more. I just wish it has a nicer camera but it is fine with ample lighting. Even the Mi Max 2 will be exhausted 90% of the time before 9pm. As for the Redmi Note 8T, it barely last past 6pm and the even less with Note 4S. If you are a no nonsense worker that is not a gamer, this phone is like a workhorse. Let me know if you have any other questions.
GSM arena has a battery test comparison. Moto G7 Power, is close to the top. I'm very impressed with the battery life. It's the main reason I bought the phone.
https://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3
For general uses like web browsing, banking, simple gaming, etc.,. This phone is PERFECT!

Don't know how it stacks up to the competition but when picking this phone from the Visible lineup it stood out on the factor of battery life alone.
I give it 5 stars because it has delivered as advertised. Approximately 3 days of battery life... And when I put it on its out of box charger the thing jumps at least 20 percent in an our or less time.
It's totally true... I don't have to feel afraid this thing is going to die on me. I just leave my charger in my room and plug it in (about a fifth of the time I used to think to charge my old phone). Normally I get a bit more conscious about it around 30 percent.
It's 1 am here... And I left my house at 5 pm yesterday. It was at 52 percent and now it's at 38. I've been streaming music, using Google maps... Making the occasional call. And browsing the web on it for the last hour.
I honestly think this phone would remain ready to ring for about a week if left entirely alone.
It's absurd and a great advantage in the notion of the need for a phone that isn't a pain in the @$$.
G7 Power - Battery
Bought mine 2 days ago so can not elaborate on USB-C robustness and overall reliability.
Below my experience so far:
Very bright screen, easy work on it outdoors even in sunny days (wish I could attach pics), if remember well, top brightness is ~630 candelas. IMHO one of the brightest LCD screens esp for a phone that sells for 160$ +Tax.
When got mine, I charged it to 100% before powering up.
After that decided to fully discharge it to give charge controller some data.
Biggest problem was discharging it, took forever:
I was playing YT videos at full brightness in full screen and in windowed mode to make sure it is not going into standby while also texting, updating system and apps and having hotspot running on it (Mobile signal strenght was at ab 50-70%)
It took ab 9hrs (test was going on for ab 10+ but few times forgot to return on time to click on YT button to continue video playback so it went into sleep).
Phone shut down after reaching 1% of battery capacity
Recharging was done on USB-C 60W charger from my Chromebook instead of stock 15W,
phone entered turbo charge state without any issues or overheating:
After 15 min of charging - batt charge level 22%
after 2 hrs of charging - batt charge level 95%
Last 5% took about 30 min as I am sure charger was in a slow charge for safety.
I was performing full charge-discharge curve to train the battery controller so in real life I guess phone will go into charging at ab: 10-15% and be off the charger at 90% as the extra few percent makes no difference while unnecessarily extend charging time and stress on the lithium cell.
So I estimate total charging time in daily use scenario will be ab 90min every 2-3 days (in my case, no gaming no binge YT watching etc).
IMHO a very good workhorse for a heavy duty daily use (but not for gaming or advanced photography, video shooting) at very low price!

For me you are either a troll trying to make people put thermal damage on their phones or a real gaming addict that needs a high end gaming rig not a smartphone - mobile devices of any kind are not for hardcore 100% duty cycle gaming, video editing etc.
BTW G7 Power sell for 160$, pocket change, buy one and run on it any crazy and destructive tests you dream about.

First phone I've had that can endure almost 4 hours of solid Pokemon Go (3 hours community day plus about an hour sorting out the spoils and evolving them to get the special move before the hour is up) not only that but also had like 25% battery left afterwards. Very impressed, I didn't think any phone could do that.
6 hours of SOT with Waze and Uber Driver. Amazing!
3 hours and 15 minutes from 100% to 15% (when battery saver automatically kicks in....wish there was a way to disable this), playing Retroarch emulator with some of the most intensive CPU games around (Espgaluda 2, Dodonpachi Daiffukatsu, Deathsmiles). The CPU stays at full speed and the phone gets quite warm overtime, but the games are very smooth

But, you actually have like 4 hours SOT (and 25% left, so in total maybe 5 if you kept playing).

Yes and that's very good for Pokemon Go. It's a very thirsty app normally and no other phone I've had has managed more than a couple of hours SOT with it. I guess the GPS chip must be quite efficient on this device, and the SOC just powerful enough that PoGo doesn't really bother it.
