i would consider myself a pretty heavy user most days. Almost always streaming via 5g on 2k resolution(yes i know its only fhd but in my head i convince myself that a 2k feed on a 1080 screen produces better quality), while using gps and bluetooth. I game a couple hours a day, and i also get into benchmark wars with friends after work leading to Antutu and geekbench Olympics.
battery life usually gets me through the day, and over 4 months, the only visible degradation in my experience has been more frequent google branded app crashes(this could also be from me being a beta tester of basically every app thats available to test). I've also noticed an ever so slightly slower app launching speeds.
battery seems as strong as day 1, and the battery health information provided via Accubattery, is showing 4970mah, but take this information with a grain of salt as there's still no 100% consensus on the accuracy of their methodology that everyone can agree on. I feel that as long as ive used accubattery that it's been accurate on all of my phones, which is why i had no problem purchasing pro version, as i think they're the best battery statistics app on the play store. GSAM is supposedly a decent one as well, but i'm familiar with accubattery.

I play two games that seem to be CPU/GPU or battery intensive games. Marvel Puzzle Quest and Animation Throwdown. I play both daily, and the phone can still last from when I wake up until when I go to sleep. Very impressed. I tend to get about 4 to 5 hours of screen on time.
Compared to my previous phone, the GS7, it is much better. The GS7 would not be able to last through half the day with that type of usage. I would need to charge it through out the day.
I'm not sure if that's a credit to the Snapdragon 835 being more efficient or that SONY phones have less stuff running in the background. Could be both I suppose. I remember my old Z3c having better battery life than my GS7 running on the old Snapdragon 801.
Yesterday I had close to 9 hours SOT and about 10% left. I was on Wi-Fi all day and at about 50% brightness. I used Newpipe, WhatsApp, reddit is fun, and MX Player all day long, often in multiwindow mode. I never bother to use Stamina mode. The battery life on this thing is spectacular.

I work events. I bought the Mix 2s originally because I had an event coming up and needed something that could go all day and NOT necessitate carrying around a USB battery in my pockets as well. I've yet to have it die on me. Lowest it's gotten is 8-10%
Battery saver mode works excellent on this phone and despite a lack of OLED screen, I usually tie SOT power consumption to my most used app of the day neck-and-neck. Fast charge works perfect on this phone as well, usually can get from 10 to 65-80 in about 10-15 mins.

AccuBattery apps calculates the battery health using some charge sessions. I have used if for my z3c to check my battery. It has 2600mAh and after 3 years of use, this app shows 98% of healt. The author describes nice quality of batteries from sony, especial models used in z3c.
The same I have done for my both pad 4. Reference value 6000mAh and calculated quality 5560 and 5540 in the second. This is a result for brand new equipment!
What can we say about batteries from xiaomi? Total crap. True trash. ?

First full day with the Moto G Power. Much better than the Pixel 3 XL it replaced.
Here's the Moto G Power, used on a slow day filled with gaming and surfing the internet.

Here's a Pixel 3 XL getting way less screen time in a similar situation. The Pixel had the added advantage of a battery case, and still couldn't keep up.

and the Pixel. That's spike in charging is from the battery case.

Some more heavy use tests. Split screen gaming, in addition to streaming some music over 4G to a Bluetooth headset.
Still double the battery life of the Pixel 3 XL even trying to do half as much. Far more intense usage than my average, so I can't complain.
Note: Google Play Music would kill itself frequently, likely because the relatively average amount of Ram. Since I wasn't actually wearing the headset, it would take me a while to notice and restart the music.
Stupid 10+ hours
Been using it all day non stop great battery life
It's really a "battery monster"
Up to 10 hours of Sling TV over LTE
I wonder how it compares to other phones with 5000mah batteries, so we can see if the motorola hardware and software is anything special.

Battery last for 6 hours maximum while playing PUBG mobile on graphic: Smooth and Ultra frame rate.
In my case, battery lasts 7-12 maybe (because AOSP battery log is very limited in terms of viewing some infos) by playing PUBG with Smooth+90FPS, mostly streaming on youtube, scrolling on Facebook and Chrome just by using mobile data... It's pretty GOOD and paired with 33w is fantastic
Bad SOT
Can PUBG players or COD players post their SoT and mention their graphics configuration?
PUBG Mobile
Graphics: Smooth
Frame rate: Ultra (It reach 60 Hz)
I played for 3 hours stright.
And I get 5 hours SoT (almost) .. check screenshots
I'm disappointed because the phone was advertised as a gaming phone ( one of the main features) so the battery should perform better.
I don't see any comments here.. where are the gamers? Kindly share your SoT
Thank you
Does 12h30min of SOT qualify as heavy use along 24h? At home, low brightness, 5ghz wifi all the time. Mostly social networks, web browsing, a few videos on youtube, no gaming. Battery went from 100% to 6%, then back to 26%. (In the end I gave it a quick boost, proving the original charger and original cable can provide 20% battery in 10 minutes when the battery is low.)
