Screen on time - Moto G4 Plus Real Life Review

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 Moto G4 Plus before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

never took the battery down much past 50% but at the 50% mark I'll usually have about 3 hours of SOT. my moto g³ is pretty much the same. great battery life and SOT on the g⁴plus! especially if you're like me and mostly use IRC and open a few links and youtubes throughout your session. you're going to have PLENTY of SOT

Compared to the screen in the G3, it is sharper despite being bigger at 5.5 inches. This is due to the higher resolution of 1080p. The text looks crisp on this phone. But where it truly excels is in showing colours. The contrast and the colour depth on it is brilliant. The brightness is more than adequate, although it is also a very reflective screen and that poses some difficulty during outdoor use. The viewing angles are average -- the screen darkens when viewed at an angle -- and that too affects the outdoor visibility. But I have seen worse. And seen better. The G4 Plus is closer to the best.

battery saver profile with max cpu at 2.6ghz
Conservative governor and underclock it to 2496. Keeping the brightness down is the most important
Sent from my Benzo'd Google N6 on VZ
Conservative gov, CFS set to power saving, mako hot plug set CPU threshold to 50-60.
there's no such thing. its your personal use and your signal quality that determines your battery life.
Is this how people are pushing 7 hours on screen time? I dont get how they do that. I have to atleast charge my device 2x a day in order to make it through the day. Fee like my battery drains so fast and I barley have any apps on it. I installed BetterBatteryStats to see if anything fishy is going on in the background but I havent seen anything strange.

Battery Life and Screen on Time

This is a discussion thread for people to talk about their battery life experiences with the Moto G4 Play
first you, your model, your print and your commend.
The battery life is very good, great screen on time:

October? Im on June and it tells me that there are no newer versions. How did you Upgrade?
Same with me, June and said it's the latest. XT1602.
Running CM13 and Squid's kernel. Screen-on seems to drain this thing pretty fast even when WiFi is off, screen off it seems like it can last forever. I don't know the exact model number, but I have the single SIM 16/2 model, non carrier specific purchased straight from Motorola.
I don't know how this compares to stock Android or stock kernel, as I unlocked this thing's bootloader and flashed everything I have now without even getting the chance to experience what stock firmware was like.

I have the xt1601 and i'm in retail mx It is possibly that
I just reverted to the "stock" kernel CM comes with and I don't see much improvement compared to what I was getting in the previous post with Squid's custom kernel. It could just be a defective device I have (this, plus the screen brightness seems to "transition" from one brightness setting to another VERY slowly), but with CM installed, it's a bit late for me to do anything about it...
I am very impressed with the battery life. I have the phone a little over a week now, and have yet to kill it by bed time.

Whatever the stock settings were, don't remember changing anything around.
I am Using the latest official build of RR with squid's kernel. Its working really great for me but the battery really drains very quickly compared to stock. Can anyone suggest kernel tweaks or system settings to improve the battery life?
Pretty good
So far, the battery life is pretty good. Lasts long enough. I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 and Squid kernel.

For a 3000mah battery, it's up to mark.
Light usage (YouTube with WiFi, reading etc) gives
about 7 hrs
Med (coc etc) use gives about 5 hrs
Heavy gaming gives abt 4.25 hrs.

The battery life of the X527 running 16S is awful.
This phone has about 66% of the battery life of my old ZTE Z958 Zmax2 before it needs charged up.
Do I need a different ROM to improve battery life as it's really quite pathetic, despite the reviews saying it's great?

Akt mean Advance kernel tweaks n as the name suggests it basically tweak kernel profile. There are two version u can choose from.. One is profile zip This tweak is applicable to every phone with any ROM or kernel--stock or custom--that provides the Interactive Governor, another one is an apk(which is more user friendly and convenient but officially support only sd 820/821).
U might wana use xiaomi doze with greenify for better results.

Its fully stock Running the latest Miui update 10.2.2.0
Also global version. Does it drain more when phone is in idle? If so maybe faulty fingerprint reader keeping phone awake? I also use 3g always instead of 4g and nova launcher aswell.
Edit:I also can't know what's causing battery drain issue without seeing battery graph in settings

General Battery life experience

Hey guys,
So a month after the launch of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, what is your battery life experience? Give us your feedback and numbers.
Please mention your chipset (Exynos or Snapdragon) and post a screenshot if possible.
Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with battery life. I usually get a day and a half with around 9h of SOT. I have the Exynos model and my screen is set to 1080p with standard motion smoothness. Bluetooth is always on and I use 4G most of the time. All other settings are set to default.

How is you Phone radio usage so low. Mine is always way higher. Does that mean the signal is bad??
Can't complain, I get around 5 hours SOT a day with 30 to 40% left in the tank.
That said, I am stuck at home all day on WiFi, so sure that will decrease when I'm out and about with location on and 4g/5g but still pretty decent.
Exynos, QHD, 120hz, active 2 connected all day, some debloating and Bixby routines to switch to 60hz for some apps, turn off location/NFC/4g at home and sync/AOD on when charging
Standby for me has been amazing.

I think bad signal is definitely a factor. In my case, I stay at home most of the time (remote work) or at the office and in both locations I have a very good signal. Also my carrier doesn't support 5G yet, only 4G.

Ikr, even with Bluetooth on, I lose barely 3% at night.
Still on 91% I've been playing on my iPad all day so barely touched phone.
Had Exynos S21 Ultra that i didn't like the battery life of it. I had barley 4h of SoT.
I send it back to Samsung and got a Snapdragon HK version and i am getting 4.5h with the second full charging. I hope it gets better in a week or two.
Mine is amazing. Exynos. It keeps getting better.
I got the Exynos version.

It will get better. I was like you.
Then I reset my phone and didn't use smart switch and after couple of days I am getting now around 1h SOT per 10% with bluetooth and 4d enabled. Full resolution and adaptive framerate and sometimes I switch to 96.
