Does anyone know how well the battery works on the Honor 8x? The battery is 3,750mAh, which doesn’t seem huge.
Here’s a review: https://www.techradar.com/reviews/honor-8x/2
Pretty good battery section.
Apparently, power management is pretty solid. It says that it lasted the whole day with heavy use.
The battery is huge and I can confirm while being a heavy user that this phone is lasting very long and like ceciliahey said have a very good power managment :good:

I use honor 7x which battery is 3340mAh. Not a gamer myself, but outside of work I spent a lot of time on social media or watching vids. I’ve never needed to charge my phone till bedtime. I think you can safely expect improvements on this next-gen 8x.

Yeah. Battery is really key for me, I hate carrying around a battery pack.
That review’s really helpful.
The battery Is VERY huge. No other words needed

Must say I am very disappointed with the battery life of this phone. Gonna hate myself with what am gonna say but thinking to send it back and get the z5. Does anyone have any tips on how to extend the battery life? Only had the phone few days now so don't know if that works and need to let it settle but so far nothing is working out.
I have killer battery life using my mophie case....It's a phone case and extra battery in one. So sweet.

I have to admit I'm really quite dissapointed with the battery life too.
I nearly kicked myself when the Z5 came out as I should of waited and got that instead.
This S6 is laggy, freezes too often and even with the fast charger it might as well be a land line it's pulled in that often.
I am surprised actually. Not noticed much difference in battery of s6 edge vs my old Z3. If anything, its minimal to me.
S6 has a good battery life for what it houses under the hood. It could have been worse like the G4

First time posting here. I've had the G5 since the first week of April. Just received the Cam Plus Module last weekend and noticed the battery life has improved tremendously when I'm in a location where there is a strong Signal (T-Mobile). I also noticed the phone charging while not attached to a Charging adapter. The phone has been off the charger since 7 am (EST) and is at 90 Percent 3 and a half hours later. Some emailing, web browsing, and Google Fit running in the background with the Fit Widget updating.
Has anyone with a a Cam Plus Module notice this as well?
The cam plus has a battery inside it and will charge your internal battery up. This gives the user more battery time to video and what not. It's the expected behavior.

I used mine the other day when I went out and about filming, taking pictures, etc. It's great and the hump isn't even that bad. I personally am a big fan of the modular design.
Sent from my LG-H831 using Tapatalk
Thanks, I figured that had to be the case. 5 hours into my day yesterday, browsing, checking email, texting, and it was still at 91%.
Although I have a case for the phone, I like the hump the Cam Plus provides. I have a better grip of the phone while using it with one hand.
Hi guys post your battery usage here in this thread to compare and see how this device battery endurance is :good:
Not much SOT 2 hours still but I base battery life off of background things since that's how I use my phone the most. Pandora for an hour took some pictures at the pool watched some YouTube videos light web/Facebook browsing. I love the battery life on this phone.
Theres already a battery life thread on the real life review section..

Too each is their own. Coming from the Galaxy S7 to the V20 now the G6, the G6 hands down has the better battery life
Took some photos, browsed web, played a game for around 30mins, if not more, at 50% brightness, otherwise i have it on auto brightness. I usually get around 5 or 6 hrs of SOT so i think the battery life is pretty damn great.
Sot is the worst measurement for battery. I wish people would stop thinking it's the end all be all.. A lot of people use their phones listening to music or having navigation going with the screen off. A lot of things can be used with the screen off that will drain your battery. If the damn phone lasts as long as you need it to while doing the things you do, thats all that matters.

True, true.
That's exactly why there's such a huge difference of SOT between me and StonerSteve420., who uses a lot of background tasks .

True, but sommetimes we can have 2 people with almost same usage but phone A doesnt last as much as phone B, it can help the user to check if he have a wakelock or app keeping his phone awake...you know what i mean
Bad standby, due to the continuous switching of networks but far better than G5 here.

S7 should have gotten you around 6 hours SOT, the G6 with careful management should give you 6 to 7.

That's fair enough a statement but most people who measure SOT still use background stuff.
On my S8+ I get 8 hours SOT over 2 days, using Deezer, Netflix, Calls, whatsapp, facebook, camera. The G6 gets me up to 7 SOT. So it's still a valid measurement.

Please tell me how on Earth you get that much SOT. I get about 5 if I'm not streaming music or using Bluetooth. 4 if I do

whats wrong mate? please speak on topic
I'm on pie and haven't noticed any battery issues so far.
But i did factory reset my phone before I upgraded to pie.
So if your experiencing battery issues you'll might want to factory reset your phone. Backup first though!
Or you have a bad app draining your battery.
I am also on official Pie and it does seem like my battery life might be a little worse than it was on beta 1. My battery life was outstanding on beta 1, where I did a "dirty flash" from Oreo. Doing a factory reset before flashing official Pie, it does seem a little bit worse, but still well within in the realm of being manageable.
Sprint note 8 n950u when did you guys get your updates? I'm on the drl7 from firmware science.
No updates since january.

Mine is SM-N950F so we got the official pie sometime in Feb/March.
I just put a new battery in mine as I always do around the 2 year mark. Previous to the pie update my battery would last 10hrs easy. Now it's pretty ****, I find myself recharging the phone at lunchtime.
But otherwise everything else is smooth and fast.

I am in the same boat as the battery is performing poorly in recent times. I have two questions for you
1. Where did you buy your battery from? I don't trust Amazon ones, I don't think they're reliable enough and are mostly fakes.
2. How did you install the battery since Note 8 doesn't have removable back panel? You took it to a service center?
Thanks,

First time ever that I didn't do it myself, I just put it in to have a new screen, frame and battery, charge port replaced so it's like a new phone again.
I normally do it all myself and just buy a decent or own Samsung battery but I didn't have the time.
---------- Post added at 06:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 AM ----------
Also, I use it with my gear watch so bluetooth and 4g is running the whole time and I'm getting half the battery life I was with oreo with the same setup. I personally think the adaptive battery is garbage doing nothing just an smoke and mirrors.
Having it on medium power save it says gives extra battery life but actually timing it..... It doesn't.

FWIW after performing the latest update this week, I noticed yesterday that my battery performance seemed improved. Obviously it's early days, but perhaps something has changed in the April releases that has improved battery consumption?
I only just received the March security update so ok, looking forward to a change
I'm in the US on Verizon. My battery life has decreased, but not in a significant way that makes me feel that something is really, really wrong. For what it's worth, I never did a factory reset.

My battery life is pretty terrible at the moment, I also had to turn a setting off in the battery options to get it to charge above 75%. Anyone having battery problems? I am thinking the battery might need a good calibration.

Mine seems fine as well. Ran all day yesterday under heavy usage, and was at 40% at 2am when i went to sleep. So far I've been running all day today under moderate usage, and am at 77% (~11pm)
seems pretty good so far, if you use the dual screen you will see decreased battery life..been two days since I got it and it is still in the "analyzing usage" mode for determining battery life. but a normal days of Microsoft teams chats since we are working remote, and moderate use of the mail and web browser with some (15%) dual screen usage was only down to 65% at the end of the day yesterday. Probably will take a week while is adjusts itself and we can see true battery life. Have not seen any way of getting an additional dongle for the dual case charging, just one is supplied in the dual screen box..
Well, it isn't like there is some foolish electron sucking device (like a 120 Hz screen) in it.

Did you set up the phone from scratch or use some switch app like lg switch? I had to reset mine to fix app instability and battery issues due to the restore.

How is the total usage 16h 29m with over 6brs SOT, but the phone was idle for 16h 30m? Does the idle just refer to radios?

If that's the case, that means the phone was partially charged during a 23h period, meaning these are not accurate battery statistics. No biggie, I'm just trying to get an accurate idea of how long the battery lasts

K thanks. I must not be interpreting that stats correctly. I think the 16h 30m idle must be referring to the LTE radio. Otherwise the numbers don't add up. Were you on WiFi this whole time? I know I am since we are locked down ?

I am assuming the same thing. I'm also just amazed by the battery life because I've been using Galaxy phones for the last few years and I have always had terrible battery life. It seems that the reporting in this phone is rather vague as well. I'm going to use a different app to track usage

If I reinstall from scratch, is there a way to restore settings, emails, and messages from my previous phone?
