Defective battery ?

Hello,
I bought a grey unit of the Axon 7 and received it on Wednesday. 100% satisfied about the phone but there's something that concerns me : battery life.
I ran the GSam Battery Monitor app to check my battery stats and, particularly the sot which seems pretty low (considering all the things I've read about it from reviews/feedbacks)
The brightness is on max (no auto-brightness), wifi/cellular are on (wifi discovery is off), loc/bt/sync is off. All the gestures, mipop and smart power are off and I'm using Nova Launcher (if that matters).
Now, how I got those numbers : I thought I'd test the battery with several apps before coming here and start a thread. So I ran a Youtube clip for about half an hour, 50 minutes of Netflix, one run of Antutu 3D and 3 hours of the Antutu benchmark. So, basically, I went from a 100% to 9% with the screen on all the time and some cpu-taxing apps for a fair amount of time. I don't know if that's the best way to test a battery but I did it anyway.
Judging fron the numbers you see on the screenshot, would you say this is concerning or good for such a young battery (haven't done a 0-100% charge yet but I thought it wouldn't matter since this is li-po) ?
Thank you.

5 to 6 hours of screen time is the most you'll get out of this device. Knowing you did it in brightness on max and got 5 hours. I'm guessing you're battery is fine.

I get 15 hours of battery easy but my screen time at the end of the day is around 4 hours.

I get about the same if not , worse and I'm not even on a high brightness. The reviews are paid I bet because I get not so good battery life like they claim ..

Max Brightness, 5h sot is a good score in heavy usage. If you're only watching some videos some might do better (1h30 tops) but if you're using the phone for gaming and **** you won't have any better results on other flagships (at least not significantly better).

I'm just a normal user, not paid. My battery shows up in Accubattery as 3100mAh, but I'm getting 8h SOT — that's 3 hours more than I got with my OnePlus One!

No the reviews are spot on. You need to distinguish between typical SoT and maximum SoT, which Gsam and Accubattery focus on.
Typical for light use would be around 4-5 hours, that's when you have a lot of screen-of time and don't use the phone more than a few hours per days - it is lower due to discharging also happening with screen off.
Maximum for continued use without any screen-off time should be 8-9 hours, varies based on screen brightness and content APL mainly (web browsing - which has around 90% APL - and on high brightness may get it as low as 7 hours whereas video playing - which has around 40% APL - and on low brightness may increase it to 12 hours).
Mine is 9 hours in mixed use at about 25% auto brightness

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 Sony Xperia XZ1 before depleting the battery.

Repeatedly getting 6hrs.

Unbelievably good battery life if 2700 mha is taken into account. I'm a very heavy user for business purposes and this is the first phone in a very long time that I don't need to charge the phone during the day. I can't imagine how it would be if it was 3000 mha.
At least 2 hours of phone talk, 2-3 hours of web browsing, 3 mail accounts on imap, wifi-data on, gps off and no facebook or whatnot. It's 7 hours screen on time at night here still with 30% of juice.

For my use this telephone has exceeded my expectations, I've done over 3 days of use and had still 17% of battery left. Compared to the XZ I had before which lasted up to 2 days with 7% of battery left, this in comparison is a monster!!

I have ~5 ½ hours screen in time, with 1 ½ day of battery life time.

Would love more input in this regard

Average 6-7 hours of SOT. Coming from a XZ, XZ1 definitively has better battery life.

6 hours with heavy usage and about 30 hours standby

i like to charge when the battery is going below 50%, but usually a 2.5-3 hours SOT is reached by that time, plus when left uncharged through the night, the idle consumption is quite good too that in the morning the battery lost just about 1-2%. Sure there might be some app that disturbs the phone SoT, but the system itself is pretty lean in managing the battery. You should take care of what apps do you use from time to time (as in all other Android phone actually)

For the first few days was getting around 6hr battery life with light usage. But ever since the second week, I've been getting the dreaded "Phone Idle" battery drain and now struggle to get 3hr SOT.

hi all...
I m rooted and with a little debloating (without any app like greenify etc) im getting 6-7 hours (for a month+)
mid-hard usage.

I've installed AccuBattery app that shows statics as follow:
.
SOT = 10+ hrs
Stand by = 60+ hrs
Mixed use (as per my usage) = 28+ hrs
.
I rarely is cellular data, and use WiFi network 4 to 5 hours. I'm happy with battery performance of this phone.
Previously I had Xperia XP which has 6~8 hours SOT. It was hard to achieve full day battery life. So I minimized usage of my phone to stay my phone battery alive for the day.
Now I feel relax myself with this battery performance.

I just bought mine for 3 days.
Today's ost was only 3 hours with 17% left.
Should I return it?

It's not a faulty phone. It depends on app installed, usage, etc. There are many factors.
Debloat/freeze unnecessary apps, remove live wallpaper. Some apps (like Facebook app) keeps refreshing a lot and use more battery, for example.

Using pie debloated, getting 8hrs aprox of SOT, before in oreo 6-7hrs sot

For me Oreo 7:30-8:00 hours 100%-15%
Pie 6-7 hours 100%-15%
Without gaming screen on time always wifi on

Since I've updated my xz1 to android p i can get no more than 3 hours of screen, can anyone help me?

Hi, May I ask you how do you manage to get 6-8 SOT because I have the phone since a week with global ROM installed and I get around 4 hours ( the same I had also before with Chinese ROM)

4 hours is reasonable, person with 6-8 hours SOT will highly likely have different usage to you.....
Turn brightness down, install another kernel, don't use high demanding apps as much, close and turn things off when not using, use power saving apps etc

I can't believe that my mi mix 3 has only 3200mah battery
Global rom, non root:

Any special settings to get this SOT?
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I'm getting 8-10 hours of SOT
~Global Rom No Root
Power savings mode enabled.
CPL (Pixel Launcher with theme changed to black in the settings)
MIUI Android Pie Dark theme (Makes the system menus Black)
Legam Black Icon Pack
Kiwi Browser with Night mode
Youtube with dark mode
Google APK ports from the Pixel with dark mode.
No GPS, No Data, No Bluetooth, WIFI only
Solid Black wallpaper.
50-75% brightness

I also had battery issues. Sas barely.using phone and in half a day telephone asked for.charging. whaat i did was disxharge to shut down then charge to 100% without turning on the phone. It helped a lot. Ove read aomewhere that this method is food once a year for phone battery because it helps to calbrate the energy levels in the battery.
Also it.is good. to use as dark pixels.as u can becausw.the.brighter the more.energy ia going to be used.
Also disable.services you dont need(wifi,gps,mobile data,nfc, bluetooth background processes, anything thhat is using your battery energynto.work.
With advices in this.thread you can prolong your battery by like 40%. Can confirm that it.helped me.
Just do.some reasearch on enerfy saving in a smartphone.

Battery
I've got mine for around 3 days and the battery don't last even half a day, it usually lost 10% in 2h. while in idle, I have AoD, Bluetooth and data, but I'm quite sure that it's not normal.

I have MIUI 10 Global Stable, last update.
In the meantime I turned off AoD and now it's fine, I've found out that the screen never turn off even when inside the pocket.

I was able to get 6 hours of sot

I recommend disabling the option to use adaptive battery, at least it improved here after I deactivated it.

On PE I was able to get 8 hours of SOT right now I'm testing out AEX seeming it was March security patch I'll keep you guys updated on it
Edit: same with PE around 8 hours of SOT

Haven't as yet come down from 100% to Zero.
But on Full use (Social Network / Youtube Videos/ Mail/ Lots of Camera/ Pics being uploaded in the background/ and Location On in Battery Save mode, Screen Brightness on AUTO and slider at 35-50%) ....
Achieved around 8 hrs SOT with 42% Battery Remaining..

I'm still trying to find the best battery across all phones.
I heard this and G7 Power are best 5000mah battery but your usage pattern still isnt that heavy right?
Can you try this test to run any like
"always-screen-on graphic test like photorealism 2018 free on google play with 50% brightness.
Let the phone run from 100% > 0% on battery?
I doubt if it can pass 6 hrs mark (Super Heavy App)

11 hours SOT on first charge with two Sims, internet on, few hours of WiFi. Looks like it can survive for two days with normal usage. Only concern is how long battery can keep performing like that.

Only Playing 3D games/Running 3d Graphic counts

IMO only running 3D graphic/Grinding levels in RPG/MMORPG games
in continuous hours eat up the battery (SOT)
other tasks like youtube/browsing/surfing/playing offline local video do not affect the battery at all right?

I mean that my concern is about overall battery life in terms of negativity. How many months or years the battery will keep performing like this before its dead. Because these days replacing batteries is not easy task, neither the genuine batteries are available after certain period of time.
I have four years old Moto X 2nd gen, that is still perfectly fine and still has lot of juice left in it. But battery died and I couldn't find a working battery. Had to replace with a Chinese make battery which is not performing well. I just had to buy One-Power becasue of the dead battery of my Moto X.
I am not in favor of generating unnecessary e-garbage.
