No Wi-Fi.. Only Cellular Data. Can hit 7h SOT really impress..

Let's see how long can it maintain excellent battery life.. Sorry for the other post..

Data always on since no wifi. Manage to get 7-8 hours sot.

I think I've got exceptionally good battery life, I'm happy so far!

30h after last charge
+4h SOT
Still +50% left
2x SIM Dual LTE, VoLTE and WIFI Calling on
6x GMAIL, 2x IMAP, over 50 Apps, anything on (Bluetooth, GPS, WIFI..)
Really really good! Sometimes I get over 10h SOT but never under 8h after 2 full days.

Battery life is one of the main reasons I switched from the Pro and X to this. 4000mah, compared to 4200mah and 5000mah of the other two, has however the best battery life. This LCD screen consumes much less battery. I have been using the phone 90% under 4G with auto brightness today, and I'm amazed to see the result. I don't get this SOT on the Pro and X even under WIFI, let alone under 4G.

amazing!
75% on wifi

Fantastic

2 full days
3h SOT
50% left
2x SIM (both 4G)
Bluetooth, GPS and WIFI all the time on
50% WIFI 50% LTE
This phone is sick! It is almost a Redmi Note with powerfull hardware. It's hot here but display is on auto, anything is on, few min. calling, lil bit Spotify, few min. Youtube, a lot WhatsApp...
Anytime I get 6h with no WIFI
With WIFI I get +8h SOT
This is one of the real "working phones". My OP7 can also hit 8h SOT but after 1 day, WIFI and Youtube. Without video and mobile data is hard to get 5h SOT.

Nice, imagine what you'd get if you did some debloating and tweeking.

Hello,
If there is any Mate 20 owner here, two questions:
- did you get EMUI 10.1.x update?
- how is the SOT time after passing to Android 10 ?

Whoever is going to post SOT, do not forget to mention refresh rate used (90 or 60 Hz), screen resolution, "tweaks" and "measures" taken in settings etc. Also show full screenshots. Thanks.

Yesterday was my first full 24 hours with the device. Charged it fully ion the morning and went to bed with 26% battery and 5hr 15min of SOT. I was using 90Hz with resolution set to "auto". I don't tend to run my brightness very high, maybe around 40-45% except when outdoors in daylight. I did a fair mix of browsing, gaming, social media, and texting. I tend to keep my rarely-used apps restricted from battery and data usage. I use the dark theme and darker wallpaper. I did not take a screenshot last night, but will do so today after completing another full day of use.

This is my phone's sot with 90hz refresh rate , auto switch for resolution and dark theme enabled. I was mostly on wifi. Usage between moderate to heavy.

This is mine.. wanted to check out the actual SOT without 90hz and qHD .. so this is 60hz with 1080p.. but used 90hz for like 4-5 hours to show it off to some friends..

https://youtu.be/XhqDtIcIA6E

Difference between 90hz with auto switch and 60hz with fhd+

I've been getting great battery life. I have the auto switch with the resolution, and 90hz always.... Also had the oneplus 6t and this phone is def an upgrade

My battery life is pretty bad but I have been using camera quite a bit
I hope it improves

This was my first full day, 90hz the whole time,

These are excellent results .

Couldn't you guys just type SOT and attach the screenshot as a proof as well as the apps you used, not only a SS? then we wouldn't need to open every picture

Day one everything enabled, 90hz with auto switch resolution, about 6 hours of SOT. Not bad, not great.
I'm still on Day two, but I went down to FHD resolution on 90hz, greenified, and turned off stuff I'm currently not using like BT and GPS and I'm at 2:42 SOT with 75% battery. Pretty nutty. I won't be rolling this way all the time, but nice to know what's available. I can only imagine how much more we can squeeze out on 60hz. This phone is going to be great for vacation days.

Never got that much juice out of my OP6.

Here is my first full day with phone.
Unplugged when I woke up with 100%.
Res: auto
Refresh: 90
Had everything on like I normally would, gps, wifi, Bluetooth. Was on LTE almost all day. Only on wifi from 7pm until this screenshot around 11pm.
Not good, not great but was the first day. My 6t would end the day with more than 30%.

11 hrs 4 minutes of SOT. 100% TO 1 %.

I would average 10 hours, but I never charge to 100% or let it get under 20%. I keep it under 80% and it rarely gets under 40% during the day.

hi, i want to buy this devices, but before buy it i want to know if this time of active screen are with china rom stable or xiaomi eu rom? Thanks

Mine was from K20 Pro Global Stock(India) It was just the third reboot after Installing all the apps and all the Data transfer..
I have removed most of the MiUi bloatware using Xiaomi ADB Fastboot tools. Don't have any apps that i don't need. (mivideo, Mi Browser etc)
And yes I don't have facebook in it..

There is someone that leave rom as the day of purchase??

Anyone know how to decrease the brightness of Ambient display/aod... I'd like to use it, but it's too bright and I'm afraid it will drain the battery quicker..

Getting very good battery life.... more than 6 Hr Screen on time

Battery drain due to ambient display is minimal... I have had it on since day 1, and have not noticed any noticeable drain due to ambient display. As long as you have auto brightness on, the ambient display brightness is also under control of auto brightness

I've just found out that 10.3.16 reduce a lot of standby draining. Whoever still on 10.3.8 or lower should definitely update...

Got SOT of 8+ hrs
Hi! I got the screen on time of 8+hrs from 100% to 15%. Wifi connected whole time With 2 hrs of PUBG at HDR Extreme settings and mixed use of social media, camera, videos streaming, uploading! This is the firt time i got 8+ in K20 Pro... Generall i get only 5.30 to 6 hrs SOT while wifi is not available.
I am on latest Global (India) Rom 10.3.3.0

Attached are mine battery stats, amoled panel greatly helps with sd855

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..

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:

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 Xiaomi Poco X2 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I got the Xiaomi Redmi K30 (4G - 6GB+128GB) directly from China through a friend. My very first Xiaomi and boy what an amazing battery this phone has! Coming from Samsung I've been literally blown away. I thought such battery life was always limited to XDA threads and hence this was truly a dream come true lol. And for $250, this has been the cheapest phone I've ever bought. So much value this has to offer.
This is my first charge cycle of the phone.
I am yet to fully move all my apps to the Redmi K30 yet. Only Gmail, other Google apps including Chrome were mainly used with some very light gaming (I'm no gamer). And I uninstalled many of the apps that came with the phone.
Its running MIUI 11.0.3 on Chinese stock ROM. 4G LTE on all day (not connected to WiFi at all). Screen refresh rate set at 120Hz.
Usage was mainly fiddling around with the phone setting it up and installing Google apps, 2 hours of voice calls, 30 mins of videos on YouTube, 15 mins of games. I am yet to drain my battery fully. So halfway through at 50% mark, I have used the phone for over 24 hrs with 4+ SOT.
Stand by drain has been amazing as I've already slept through two nights where battery drained only 1% (!!!) over 6-7 hrs. For me, this battery life is purely insane!
I will post again once I manage to deplete the battery fully.

-- EDIT -- FULL UPDATE
The battery was finally about to die after 2 days! (48 hrs!!!) With 7 hrs of SOT ?
In addition to the above, I further used the camera to take a few pictures, Maps/GPS and more fiddling around.
4G LTE (mobile data not WiFi) was on and connected throughout using a single SIM. Battery Saver mode was not activated as I wanted to see how far it could stretch. Screen refresh rate set at 120Hz.

Drains fast when 120hz but with 60hz amazing battery life, i must say. Even got 9 hours SOT in 60hz with small games and YouTube on speakers.

11 (ELEVEN) hrs of SOT!!!
3rd Charge Cycle -
Screen refresh rate set at 60Hz
4G LTE on all day (not connected to WiFi at all)
2 hrs of YouTube video/music playback
1 hr of voice calls
Connected to Bluetooth earbuds for media
Lot of messaging on WhatsApp
Random browsing
Installing apps
Battery Saver mode was NOT activated
Face Unlock with Raise to Wake enabled
Verdict on SOT range - 7 hrs (120Hz) to 11 hrs (60Hz)
Redmi K30 (stock CN ROM with MIUI 11.0.3)

OK got it, It's about 7 and half hours.. Not bad I guess.. Use 120 hz.. Though use battery saver and location off.. Data is on most of the time

10-11 hrs on avg(120hz) or even more
0% battery drain
I dont play any games just normal apps like social apps,spotify,reddit,chrome,etc
I am using pixel experience plus rom(with location and auto sync off)

Coming from Galaxy Note 8, the battery life is really impressive. Im on china rom with google play install. 60hz and on wifi all the time. No games. Just watch some videos and surfing the web. And social media such as whatsapp, instagram and telegram is also used. Planning to switch to xiaomu.eu rom after my bootloader has been unlock which I need to wait for 168 hours.
Edit: since I could not upload the image I will just say it. 23 since last charge with over 7 hours sot with 50% battery left.
