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 LG Nexus 5X'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.

Lasts me all day with lots left. Sitting around 89% after a full day. If it drains to 80% by 12 that means it lasts a full 4 days just receiving phone calls that last 10 minutes and playing an intensive game for 1 minute
Doze means the device can idle for days and barely lose any battery.
Much better than my N5, although in general I've probably been using it even less lately.
I only just get through a day, It was fine a month ago not so much now.
Even with fairly light usage, it just doesn't get me through a day.
Light usage endurance has been great. I can go 36+ hrs with Pure Nexus, EX kernel and some governor tweaks.

1 to 3 hours of phone use a day.
30 to 50 emails a day.
5 to 200 texts a day.
1 to 3 hours on Google, Web-Sites, Forums, etc.
Location Services and WiFi always ON.
Random Bluetooth use (driving only - connected to Hand Free in car)
I shut the apps down after using them.
This is a "normal" day ... and I get 10 to 12 hours with no problems. It's better than my previous phones!
Can this phone do heavy performances? heavy games??? Without any lag??
In benchmarks its level isnt so high but what in reality????

Nope. I play Simcity Buildit pretty often and this phon lags worse than my M8 HK and Nexus 7 (2013 wifi). There is a setting in the battery settings that modifies game frame rates to improve battery life. Didn't notice a difference in performance with or without this feature activated.
Honestly, if you visit a website with more than 1 or 2 ads (eg XDA as I'm typing right now) you'll experience lag. But the biggest issue is the battery life. I go through about 1% per minute playing Simcity. I feel like I'm playing on my 10 year old G1. At least back then having horrific battery performance was kind of expected. I'm returning this phone ASAP.

1.5 hours of screen time
No emails
No texts
1 hour of web use
Location services and wifi on all day
Bluetooth off and no Bluetooth use
No shutting down apps (this is better for battery life on lollipop than killing them, and why not have multitasking capabilities? This is 2016 with a $700 phone)
The phone limps into 12 hours but only after consciously trying not to use it after %30 because I still had 5 hours left in my day.
My useage is normally double or triple this.
I get 16-20 hours easily with my normal useage on my HTC M8 HK with battery saver on (yes it's a little slower, but not problematically so).
TLDR: My nearly 2 year old phone outperforms a phone released 5 months ago. I'm returning the LG ASAP.
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 BLU R1 HD before depleting the battery.

Good, especially for a phone with a 2500 mah battery, I easily get at least 4 hours SOT and the phone lasts a whole day in my medium usage.
Depends, I have never been stranded with a dead battery, it gets me through the day, just some days im coming home at 10% other days 50%, and Im a definate phone junky, I'm always staring at the screen like a teenage zombie
After converting Prime version to OEM, I'm getting 6.5-7 hours SOT. Never saw anything like that on any phones I've had before.

Playing hard while using less power is what the Note 5 is capable of. Although it's kinda odd the idle power consumption is kinda higher than a heavy gameplay.
I'm getting 30-35% per hour in heavy use mode. Moderate brightness gaming at FullHD. Less than 3 hours of play - not even close to enough. One-way trip to the center of my town in rush hour takes 1.5 hours of time and more than 50% of battery. Can't hold it alive even till the midday without charging... Waiting for my battery case to arrive but overall it is disappointing. I had more battery life on my note 2.
22 hours straight???

3000mah battery and can't get through a normal days use.
For comparison my old Xperia Z3 Compact with a beefier cpu and smaller battery (2600ish) lasted a day no problem.
yes,the z3c is still the king of battery life
Stays for whole full day for me. From 80% dropping to 20% in 24 hours. I don't play games just wifi for browsing, whatsapp and regular calls with SMS all the day.
The battery does well enough I guess, 24 hours guaranteed, even if I sometimes browse using mobile data or watch videos, although I have to stay away from certain games
Endurance issue
It has good stand by mode , but when you start using it.
It starts decreasing rapidly during games and even during usage of social media platforms.

Ah!
I still have my Z3 too!
Awesome in my opinion. After a day of normal use, (whatsapp, snapchat, youtube) will end the day at about 20%. A good thing since the charge rate is trash. Games such as vainglory will deplete the battery very rapidly though, probably get just over 3 hours from a full charge.
7.5 / 10

Really great! With the right settings 8 hours of SOT is possible.

Sure! Here is what I would recommend to try and get 8 hours SOT (without gaming).....
- Medium Battery Power Saving Mode
- Brightness: 30% Manual
- Haptic Touch Disabled
- Haptic Typing Disabled
- Always On Display enabled for tap to show with adaptive brightness off and manual brightness set to minimum
- Dark Theme
- Viibrations for Calls and Notifications off, only sound or silent
- Phone setup clean with out using app backup when setting up the phone
- make sure on the most recent August Security Patch
With those settings even with adaptive 120hz and FHD+ it should still be possible with 8+ Hours SOT.
Snapdragon or exynos?
During the 3 days I borrowed the N20U, I was getting around 4hrs 30mins SOT with heavy usage throughout the day, taking pictures, browsing the web/internet/reddit, youtube, a little bit of light gaming (pirates outlaws, night of the moon, windrunner), listening to music, and installing/upgrading apps etc...
I'm going to borrow it for another 3 days to see the best SOT I can get without having to resort to lessening the brightness below 50%, and with 120hz enabled
GSMArena's endurance rating of N20 Ultra is 88h, Note 10+ is 107h, Note 9 is 97. WTF samsung!
Edit: Currently have all these devices and my experience seems proving that relatively these endurance ratings are correct. Kinda regret buying the N20 Utra.
Battery use will vary depending on how each person uses their device even turning off so many things and limiting things signal also comes into play. I could limit all the things mentioned and still not get to the Holygrail of 8hrs screen time because I know the signal where I live duck's. So yeah those things help but it really depends on how each of us uses our devices..location..data and all those things factor into it not just turning everything down or off.

Coming back to Samsung from an iphone, once again I have battery anxiety. Device is fantastic but battery life sucks for me. N20U.

Agreed. In fact, coming from ANY decent battery phone (such as my P30 Pro) will give battery anxiety. I've just give up on Samsung phone battery life, and have decided to purchase wireless chargers everywhere (all rooms in my house, office, car, etc...) I'll also carry an extra phone or two so I can switch sims when I'm in a jam lol.
