Light use endurance - Honor 8 Pro Real Life Review

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

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.

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.

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.

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

Heavy use endurance

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Honor 8 Pro's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Not very impressive. When I'm playing games like Pokemon Go, the use isn't any different from other phones. While the phone have 4k battery, the advantage isn't that clear cut.
I have a different view, when I've been playing say Hearthstone for 3 hours, I don't see any heavy drain of the battery, the drain is similar to normal web browsing.
Our differences could easily be tributed to signal strength.
For me the heavy usage endurance was not that good! Even with normal usage that includes mail, WhatsApp, some browsing, and calls for like 2 hours, I could only get 6 hours of usage! Thereafter I had to charge! And this was quite continuous usage.

With a 5.7 inch 2k screen, that's quite good. I feel so.

Good Endurance for me
I have been testing it with multiple games, running benchmarks , watching videos and making calls etc.. The drain is very minimal compared to other phones I used. The battery lasts more than a day under normal usage. My normal usage includes watching youtube videos, few hours of gaming and whatsapp/facebook . So I think for a phone with big 2k display, its doing a wonderful job!

i guess i need to clarify my post/ feedback. for me... it's nothing special impressive. not to say it's bad, but just that it's performing like it should with other phones. it's not draining battery but i'm also not seeing extra endurance on this phone even though it packs a 4K battery.
i guess it's partly to do with the 2K screen.
and yes, if i'm not going on sth resource intensive like PoGo, the phone can actually last me the day.
Dissapointing
Below average ,even my old RN3's battery out wins it ,same game ,similar handling ,of course there is an QHD resolution factor ,but Honor 8 pro's battery ,one word ,inferior

The 2k screen has its effect on battery. It's not inferior per se but it's also not brilliant. It's so so.
I am expecting the future updates to improve the battery performance.

That's completely manageable. I myself got 8 hrs and 30 mins of SOT.
If you use this phone without a break, it can easily achiever 10 hrs of SOT.

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 Mi A2 before depleting the battery.

Been using the Mi A2 (4gb/64gb) for 2 days now. 70% will give you about 4 hours+ screen on time. So i'm expecting to last comfortably till 5 hours. Battery drain is good, slept for 10 hours and lost 6%, screen did not turn on anytime during that period.

For the above screenshots, I fully charge it in the evening a day before. I bought the device 3 days ago. Can only measure the battery life after finished setting up to my likings. I think the battery will be better after few full cycles. Today is my 2nd full cycle to test after fully charge it last night.
Add:
4+ hrs SOT on 50% battery usage
I fully charged the device last night. I'm on 35% right now with 2:30 Screen on Time.
I have no idea how you guys manage 5h+

Without knowing what apps you are using the SOT value alone is not saying much
how do you guys get those insane screen on times? I get maybe a max of 3.5
I have gps always on, and mobile data but it alternates with my home wifi.
I really do not get it. Before i have a redmi note 3 and a redmi 5 plus and i never broke the 4.5 h mark. It's only because of the GPS and data?

How is your cellular reception? Do you usually have good signal? Bad signal can cause a lot of battery drain
well, this has always been a problem, I even changed carriers this year.
it sucks that in oreo you can't see the reception signal chart anymore
