I am using my new Asus Zenfone 8 Flip the second day. I am disappointed. I use it normally as all my other phones, a bit of videos, a bit of photos, browsing youtube. Half a day battery is flat. The screen was 60 Hz. Battery settings: Optical/Dynamic. Double checked if there is any draining app - nothing found.
All my other phones would work at least three-four times longer (and I had very good phones!). I am disappointed. It is not worth the price.
Battery is fine for me, not worse than op7 before. Although I charge only up to 90%.
But in total, I'm not that happy either - the fingerprint sensor kills it off for me.

After using Xiaomi Mi Max 1, then Mi Max 2 and Mi Max 3 with their unkillable batteries that can work 2 or even 3 days in a row, I wonder how even people pay that money for phones that hardly survive by the end of the day.
Fingerprint sensor sucks too. Indeed.
Has anyone noticed that if you listen music from Spotify or youtube in background with an adapter and you open a game (not an app, only game) the music quality Will lower extremely? It Is really annoying
it shouldn't... powerusage seems quite average.

But for some reason the WiFi test seems worse.

Why don't you just take a Bugreport and upload it here: https://bathist.ef.lc/
Then you would know why battery life sucks

You may press a bit when setup but to unlock you just need to put/touch a little and sensor will scan your fingertips. Easy to unlock

Cannot Check again, I swapped back to op7.
Now, half a year later I am on op9pro ;-)
I just got the 8 Flip and I was also expecting it could last over 24h on my non gaming use.
I installed GSam, Naptime and Greenify to try to save some battery, but I'm still struggling to save battery.
Disable 5G? Just got the phone. first thing I did.. I don't give a f... about 5g..

Hi Guys,
I want to purchase this phone next month (due to expering contact).
But I read on android authority that this phone regurarly overheats.
I rather trust the people here who uses their Alpha on regular basis.
Is it true that this phone often overheats like the S2?

I have had mine 2 months and its never overheated for me.
Now it gets warm like any phone but only when you hammer it. Its in a case all the time also.
The Android Authority are not the authority on this occasion.
The phone is super fast and a real underrated handset. You wont regret it.
Any other Q's just ask.
same hire
Mine isn't over heating ,
3 days ago, it was overheating , than i restarted phone and than problem solved .
Sony phones are king of over heating
Thanks guys for your quick response.
I definitely am convicted to buy this phone..

I would strongly advise you to do so. Even though this phine isn't popular, it still has flafship performance and (for me) quite satisfactory battery life

after 1++ hour of gaming, the area near the cpu had the same temp as all the other surface (im talking about the area of the backcover),
so im guessing , the phone doesnt have overheating issues.
in this pic u can see where the cpu is located:
(notice the 2 metal plates, cpu is under the big metal plate(near his thumb))

As for the small battery, believe me this device uses the energy very very very efficient

Hello,
I'm surprised that this issue does not bother anyone too much, on Internet are very few contributions. I have Z5 compact for 5 days and from the beginning it started to heat up. From the first turn the phone start heating. I didnt do exacting task, common settings. When I play game it starts heating up quite noticeably and uncomfortable. I've tried, according to various tests on the net, shoot 4K video. The result is that after 2 minutes phone shut down due to overheating of the phone. This is not normal, that there are videos on net, where 4K shooting lasts about half an hour. Is this normal? Do you have someone experience with that? How did you solve that? Does have complaint sense? Only adds that this is the second phone of the same type, the first showed the same problem of overheating, I took it the next day after buying back and storeowner my phone readily exchanged for a new one. However, the same course. I do not think I was unlucky on two defective pieces. Please, give me advice.

This was taken just as I read your thread here..
Mine acts the same way as you.it doesn't really ever get to a "normal" temperature. I cant bare to answer phones calls on it, it's uncomfortable in my pocket, and holding it to use almost burns me and leaves my habd sweaty. I don't shoot videos or play games, mine heats up I'm guessing from the screen alone or just data. I don't really know.
I've had mine for just over a week and the issues are kind of piling up to where it's going to be on eBay soon.
Hi,
How's your battery life in your Mate 10? Please share some Screenshots and also SOT acquired before depletion.

Good.

If only gaming on PUBG SOT drop to 4h since the game has a drain of 25%/h
I rarely let the battery drop below 20% and charge more than 80% to limit stress on battery, and it last for a full day.
BLA-L29 156C432
Wifi, data, gps, screen rotation always ON.
Cool! There might be differenciation between the Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro in terms of SOT because both the phones have a OLED and LCD Screen. I'm easily achieving 6hr 45min of SOT provided that I charge the battery up to 100 percent and a depletion now lesser than 20 percent.
Gaming vice, yes. PUBG is a CPU / GPU hogging game whereby it sucks the most out of it. Depleting battery with a higher temperature is one of the contributing factor to a sturdy battery. GPU Turbo does indeed help in terms of thermal dissipation but then no much can be done since Mate 10 doesn't have the liquid cooling technology.
Yep, I'm using only black/grey background, it can help a lot since screen is like 60% of the drain in normal use.
I forgot to say it was with auto brightness ON too.
For me the mate 10 pro is really good with this game. Best battery drain of all the coworker team when playing, including iPhone 8+, one plus 5t, mate 9, iPhone5s (that just literaly burn in 20 minutes xD). Temperature are good too, since it's just warm like 35-38°C, with higher settings after 30min of game. But I still don't have GPU turbo, dunno why, I don't have the game center app. It was said activating it drains more battery, so I don't really care, I play on Switch and PC, phone are just for little break and 30FPS are far enought for me.
I think 3-4h SOT on handeld gaming is really great, Switch and 3DS don't do far more on demanding games.
My 950XL with liquid cooling got hotter, but Snapdragon 810 had an infamous hot temper too.
It was great but after October google's security update it doesn't seem well (no idea why this happened) and now im wating for pie maybe it gets a bit better
And I use my phone a lot (3 charges a day from 40 to 80 usually) and never lets it's charge drop below 40%
Hi all,
I'm about to purchase this beautiful phone, but as I'm not planning on any heavy mobile gaming ( believe it or not, I just like Asus, ROG, the audio setup and the form factor), I'm very interested in knowing how the battery life is with regular use.
No official review goes too much in depth on this matter.
How is the standby time, SOT, using it as a regular smartphone (mail, social, youtube, camera etc)?
Thanks a lot for your input!
This is the first phone I've ever owned where I get 2 full days. I lose 2 or 3% overnight. Overall, battery life is amazing.
You must have everything turned off. I am not even close to that on stand by ...
I came from a Pixel 2 XL. All my apps are the exact setting and the Pixel 2 XL has a smaller battery and it last longer the entire day then the ROG phone
With this phone I am having to find ways to get better life. pixel 2 XL didn't do any or that. On my pixel 2 XL I even have Always On and music ID turned on
ROG Phone owners will have to wait for custom kernels and maybe even custom ROMs because something is eating the 4000 mah battery of this phone like nothing. Many tests have proven a poor battery life, very poor considering the battery size.
Whatever it is ... It's in the system

It does seem clearly off. Do you have the WW or Chinese version?

Post the picture of the battery usage to zentalk forums too the staff there maybe can give the engineers something to go off of
Battery life is ok, Will last me about a day with normal usage and 8 with heavy ones. I got rid of FB and use metal instead. I use black theme in all The app offering it as well.
Ok, I just saw this on sakitech but I thought it worth mentioning. Making this change has reduced my power usage to approximately 3-4% per hour with regular use, so far today. Which is amazing for me.
Under settings, battery, go to the bottom, more battery settings, performance profile. Change it to LIGHT.
I feel absolutely no difference on the device in terms of usage. It still feels just as fast. Scream has not dropped in display quality and nor has brightness gone down. But the battery life is just better for me.
Interested to know if anyone else has done this and seen any difference.
I want S23 ultra levels of battery performance, not iPhone. I'm loving the battery life on this thing!

Yes, agreed. It's amazing. This seems to have made it even better.
Just switched over to light, let's see what happens. Though I've routinely been getting 11 of SOT so it wasn't that bad to begin with.

I've tried both modes and I didn't find any diffirence. Both modes are snappy and battery life is about the same. Maybe it's just for me tho. I did a geekbench benchmark and results about the same too
Well my battery is at 70% after nearly 8 hours since I powered up. That's unheard of for me on a Samsung device. I'm usually below 40% by now.
Have given it a go. Cheers for the tip
