lasts well on standby

Lasts way longer on single sim with wifi commected, gets around 6hours SOT

With light usage I can go on 8 hrs.

Light usage gets my phone running for 1 and half day

Same with Honor 8. Can last 2 days with very light usage.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the honor 5X's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

Gives me 2 days
I figure this will shake some things up. The attached screenshot speaks for itself, 100% legitimate. The SOT on this one wasn't much, it was 3 hours I believe, but I could be wrong. I'm an abnormal user, I turn my wifi/cell/gps off when not in use. I generally don't use my cell phone a whole lot.
There was one time were the phone had been on for two days and the SOT was 9 hours I believe. But again I could be slightly wrong, it was awhile ago.
Seems like a good battery life
With beanstalk ROM, i got 0% drain for 10-12 hours in flight mode.
Stand by is very good.

nice :good:
With the use of Amplify, I get 0% drain overnight.
even with stock, i can have drain of only a few digits.. max of 3 to 4
Near zero standby drain at night
Last night I got 0 drain overnight.
Since all my reviews are based on experience from EMUI, I noticed about 4-6% battery drain over night even when using Greenify to disable to most 3rd party apps. I don't know if I should complain about it because that phone is using dual SIMs. Rating for it is 6/10.

I noticed unusual battery drains when I unboxed it. Charged it to 100% and then would drain quickly until 50% in just about 35mins and then it would work somewhat better. It was their huawei awful software.

Almost the same story here. I had to use my phone with so much precaution so that battery doesn't drains quickly. I hated every bit of EMUI.
TBH, I am not a 'fan' of every phone company. For that reason, I may open mine in about 6-7 years with my friends. They always add one thing and exclude 2 things from the phone.

Easily gets around 5.5 hrs of SOT and entire day battery under normal usage. Sometimes it stretches upto 30-32 hrs easily without any problem

on light usage is pretty great in terms of battery
battery lasts long enough on light usage.

Have not really bothered with this. Also, depends on background apps. But i'm happy with it so far.
Standby drain is a bit high I feel. Lost about 4 percent in 8 hours.
Sent from my Honor 8 pro using Tapatalk
We can use close apps in locl screen feature to extend standby battery.
I loose about 2-5 % overnight.
I prefer to put the phone in flight mode before sleep. It helps me lot.

Yesterday night around 11.45 I disconnected charger at 98% battery and kept mobile with data and Wi-Fi off.
Today morning around 6.45 I checked and it was still 98% and after some uses it started coming down as usual.

Fine
Even mine drains! But I keep my location on I think I should try switching it off and see..but not loosing even a single percent!! It's crazy good
I think is normal to loose 1-10% over night if u have standby Facebook app and fb messenger ,what's up, viber, twiter,Instagram + other system procesess. You should set what app wont be closed when your screen is off.For me there is nothing I want more, the device's autonomy saved me!
Just standard drain

Have to say... On light use, the 4k battery is really obvious. It's like a Duracell bunny going all day...
It can easily give last more than 24 hours on light use.

Can take up to 4 days on very light usage.
Can get easily 2 days with light usage.
Used this phone for one day.really good with 4000 mAh.

Really once I got 4 days of usage with light usage and very low Brightness then still 30% was left, with no backround process in developer option.
approximately 2 days of battery on light usage.
on light usage it goes on n on
Very bad battery performance for me. With very light usage and music.. It didn't even last for 9 hours. The last 40mins on ultra power saving mode. Any suggestions.

Battery lifetime

Hello, i get this nice device yesterday evening. Now after 20 hours after full charging I have still 39% left. I think that is good for the first day.
Only the display usage stats are incorrect. It says still 18 Min. SOT. I think the real SOT is at 1 1/2 hours. But not sure, maybe more....

While in 4g I can't reach such SOT, standby time is excellent. In a night say like 2-4% drop.

4 hours and 30 minutes say. Not a champion, but can last for a day.
This said, I've just switched to op5t for the annoying screen retention issues I've had on the Xperia.

What about your problem with SOT error in battery information? Got the same problem on my 2 weeks old xz1 compact....
