have been using Rog 3 about a month and noticed that the battery is not that great especially if we consider it is a 6000mha, at least in my device
thought i would share some screenshot to my battery and hear your opinions if you think it is OK or there is something wrong
What did you expect? Your battery life is pretty normal for a 6000mah battery device. Not piss poor. Not great. Just normal. Were you expecting 3 days standby time with normal usage?
I might see it wrongly but the first pic is showing the phone is up 1 day 9hrs without charging, that's more than what I would asked for.

Something is wrong with your set. Please get a refund from the seller. Even by playing PUBG or COD in X-Mode at max brightness does not drain from 100% to 0% in 3 hours.

New phones have 5000-6000 mah with either Snapdragon 700 series or mediatech . This processor uses it pretty well giving 10-11 hours sot to me

Can't compare a 60hz screen with a phone giving 144hz screen. The drain of the screen will be much heavier than 60hz.
The 6000 mah battery is really good when you compare from specs point of view. Higher CPU clock speed, higher GPU clock and higher screen refresh rate and faster and more RAM. A Ferrari will use much more gas than a standard car even your Ferrari have a bigger gaz tank.
I can use this phone without ever think about getting out of juice before I get to sleep.
In the last 7 hours I used my phone for 4h20, playing game during 2 hours (COD and PUBG) and 50% of the battery remaining. So if I keep using the phone that way it means that I could run out of battery with about 8h SoT and 4 hours of gaming. I never had a phone allowing me to play that many hours of high quality games with all graphics to max.

Yes, I don't know a phone that gives you the perfect battery calibration. This phone show a loss of battery really fast in the first 10% then afterward it is slower.
I remember my Sony Z Ultra was really slow to lose the first 10% then battery was dropping really fast until reaching 20 25. And the remaining battery was longer to be used than the 60 previous %.
Or my HTC Sensation XE that could be used about half a day to drop from 5% to 0.

I get around 7h SOT on normal usage with wifi on most of the time. Now I got 28% remaining and 5.5h SOT mostly on gaming/youtube. So I guess its not that bad

It's a card game, but it has some 3d elements and animations. It drains the battery 1-2%/5 minutes I think.
However, let me tell you this: I've been using Xiaomi Mi3 before (Snapdragon 800 and also 3000mAh battery) and Mi A2 lasts waaaay longer, so I assume some reviewers just look at the numbers and say the battery is weak
I'm in holiday in Bali and have been in 4G since arrival. I use the maps and Spotify for most of the day, play some light games and still have battery life to spare when we get back to the hotel at night.
The phone has great battery for me, but this is all opinions and your milage may vary. Not every has the same requirements for what great battery life is.
Not a good buy to battery life , only 4 sot to me .
I am switching from galaxy s8+. I am using galaxy with full qhd+ resolution almost full brightness.
Will Mi A2 battery work same as s8+?

maybe the worst battery life phone i have used.
in 2018 getting 4Hrs sot is not acceptable from Xiaomi
For as long as people will care about looks then manufacturers will keep making super thin profile phones. If they made them a few mm bigger then could fit a bigger battery.
It's all about deciding what you value the most as you can't have everything your heart desires in one device. Just doesn't make business sense for a company to give you the best of everything at one time.

How much SOT do you get on a S9+? Its around 3-5h. How many times more does it cost? So 4-8h on a 250€ device is fine in my opinion.

I get 6-7 hours before battery reaches to 10 %. Mostly browsing, no games, wifi and 4G mixed.
I come from a s8+ with 5-6 SOT and with the xiaomi I have 5+ SOT, almost the same. Not bad for the price i think
I think 6-7 SOT is possible, depending on what you're doing. If you game a lot or watch loads of movies, then you're really stretching it though. I only got my phone last week, so I haven't tested it that much yet, but so far I can easily get through the day on one full charge.
But I don't play games or watch a lot of YouTube or movies on it. Mainly browsing, emailing, texting, phoning, podcasting, Spotify, a bit of Reddit, etc.
On the plus side, it charges really, really fast, but that's useless if you can't plug it in during the day. Besides that, the Snapdragon 660 is supposed to be more energy efficient than its predecessors. But if battery life is the main issue for you, then you might wanna reconsider buying this phone.
I would have preferred a (slightly) thicker Mi A2 with a larger battery though. 3000mAh really is the bare minimum these days. The phone is great, but it would have been awesome with a bigger battery.
Also, bear in mind, Android One takes up 13Gb of the storage size.
Hi all,
I having issue with my note 9, and I’m new to using note, is a 4% drain normal? Unplug at 12am and not use since and this morning I check battery was at 96% at 6.45am
How long have you had it. It takes some time for it to do battery optimizations but that drain doesn't seem too bad.
tat is only my 2nd or 3rd charge, have it only for 2 or 3 day
I have been draining about .7% an hour since I got it. I wish it was little bit better but the SOT more than makes up for it.
Sorry, but what is SOT? Screen on time?
So now on android ppl use SOT to measure if a battery usage is normal?

Wow I'm telling you some of you people have some really unrealistic expectations. Your complaining your phone looses a few percent in 6-8 hours. What do you expect? If you don't want your battery to drain then turn off your phone or plug it in. And then don't come complain you miss calls or have to have it plugged in all the time becusse your worried about a few percent while you sleep.
YoshiYino said:

Preferable to not leave it plugged in at night if you want to lessen the longevity of your battery.
~.7% an hour is not bad. With root and older phones I was able to lessen to 2-3% per 7-8h. Ideally that is what you want, less than .5% an hour. But we don't have root. Other ways to get less drain at night during sleep is to turn off sync or airplane mode or better yet turn your phone off. But as I said .7% an hour is all day for me in standby. I don't even know what it is at night, probably less.
I've been getting well over 10h SOT and had another hour or two of SOT left should I have chosen to drain down to <5% battery. I have been able to get 8h+ SOT over 36h on a charge. Your expectations are unrealistic as are many others on here. Be realistic or get another phone.

That's interesting has to be a app causing the drain what third party apps do you have installed? the screen res wouldn't affect anything in terms of battery life because the screen is off. I charged last night and I'm at 16 percent right now on WQHD almost been 22hrs since I charged my phone

Change the resolution to WQHD+, the power saving is too little to worth the downgrade of screen quality. Tested on s7e,s8+ and s9+ and read about it for note 9.
Also worth to note that iphones tend to show less drain at high percentages and then speed up after below 60%, i.e. if you leave the iphone over night with 30% battery, most likely it will drop 1-2%. Still, iphones standby is a little bit better vs android and samsungs. I achieved 1% drop over night or non in M8 android 4.4 times, not since them. My best is around 0.3%/h via root and custom tweaking, for samsung stock it's normal to have 0.4-1%/h. Hope that brings some clarity.

How do i see what apps is draining the battery?
Hey everyone i have already ordered my phone and I'm pretty hyped for the battery.
Does anyone have a battery drain screenshot for the 60hz or 90hz?
Most battery tests online have used the 120hz through their videos and I'm curious about how long the phone will last if you really push the battery to low speeds.
Only using 120Hz mode, always around 10h of SoT
Everyones usage is diff and mileage differs...
Example I also using 120hz but my SOT at best was 7 hrs and 30 mins

I get that I'm asking the screenshot for battery usage page which shows the SOT, Applications used and how much it has drained
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 Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
For my Snapdragon N20U (yes in Korea we finally get the Snapdragon version!), I'm getting quite horrible battery life, whether it's SOT or heavy usage, or background drain. Now I know that with Samsung phones you need at least 1 week for the phone to learn your habbits and make adjustments, however the difference in SOT and standby drain between my N20U and P30 Pro is too large, even considering the lack of usage learning.
For example, if I use my P30 Pro for an hour to take pictures, browse the web, and listen to some music through bluetooth, it will use around 5%. With my N20U, I'll leave the house with 100%, NOT use the phone at all, have a quick 30 minute lunch, and look at the phone and it will also have lost 5%. SOT is at least for me pretty bad also. Yesterday I left the house at 6:30pm, took some pics (around 20-30), did some light browsing, and when I got back home at around 10pm, my phone was at 25%. I slept at 3am, then woke up at 9:30am, and my phone was at 14%. So yeah... it seems to not be that good
I've seen random concerns about this on youtube. Thank you for sharing. Please continue to update us with more data.
My review unit averages around 4-4.5 hrs screen on time with 13-16hrs average total standby time.
Will post screenshots tomorrow after review embargo period lifted.

Hi,
Note 20 Ultra Exynos version 512Go and 2h30 of SoT on Youtube/wifi, 1h web browsing, 120Hz adaptative and 75% left.
It's seem to be good.
I am not able to understand the Exynos battery life. Some ppl are getting decent SOT and for others, its just terrible. Even many of the reviews which I have watched are similar. Really getting confused here and unable to make a decision.
Have anyone test benchmark on Ultra Note 20 RAM8GB Exynos990?

I got 9 hours and 10 minutes of screen on time on my first full charge. Not too bad for only having a 4500mah battery. I have the unlocked US Snapdragon version and I'm using 120hz and leaving it at about 70 percent brightness most of the day.

That also shows you put it on the charger twice to achieve almost 9 hours of screen on time.
It no longer breaks down screen time like it used to. In past Android versions, it would show SOT since last charge. Now it shows TOTAL SOT for the whole day.
I could technically leave it on the charger and play with it all day, and it would show 24 hours SOT.
---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------
My battery life so far has been pretty bad. For example, it's been off the charger for two hours and I'm down to 75%. Now I've been using it fairly heavily since then with about 90 minutes of screen on time.
But with my Note 10+, I'd still have about 85% battery after using it for an hour and a half. I'm also experiencing stand by drain real bad.
This was after a fresh clean install. Nothing was restored or transferred over.
I can only assume it's the 5G (although my standby drain was while on WiFi), or the 120Hz refresh rate (which also doesn't explain the standby drain).
I'll let it settle for a few more days, then I may start fresh again with a factory reset.

wow I haven't seen anyone claim this much SOT for any version before.
Cant just read screen on time on battery setting.. its not screen on time since last unplugged/charged full
Now it displays screen on time for the whole day, even if u charged during the day.
Use gsam/accubattery
Just done a rolling video test with the Note 8 and Note 20 ultra. Both on full brightness playing the same set of files.
The Note 8 display is brighter and more colourful. After 3 hours or so the Note 20 ultra has 82% left and the Note 8 has 76%
If you look at the difference in battery capacity (4500 vs 3300) and the difference in screen size then I would say the Note 8 performs better even with the brighter display.
4th day in Exynos. Phone has been on for 3 hours, 45 mins SOT consisting of browsing socials, no apps running in background 75% battery remaining ? This is terrible, can't see it getting better....
Note 20 Ultra with Exynos.
Terrible Battery life in 5 days.
I have it for 5 days and it has not reached the end of the day in any case.
100% at 8:30 am and 5% at 7:00 pm.
Without playing, just text on Telegram, browsing with Chrome and 30-40 minutes on YouTube.
Little more than 3 hours of screen.
I have removed Bixby, 3 widgets, I have disabled the mobile line that I had in the esim (I have only left the microsim). I have disabled 5G and left only until 4G.
And I have gotten a little more battery, but it does not reach almost 4 hours of screen.
I repeat. Without playing games, without taking photos, without taking videos.
Very disappointing.
And let's not talk about paying the same price as in other countries with SnapDragon for its Exynos, which is more than proven to be a much worse processor.
In their own country (South Korea) they use SnapDragon. That is, they do not offer their own processor to their own country. That is how little confidence they have in Exynos. Of course, the rest of the world (not counting the United States) endorse us what they do not want even in their own country.
I know it depends how you using it and so on. But generally?
I think mine is worse then pixel 4 xl. Have only charged it like 4 times but still. Using some Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, news , youtube.
Mostly wifi and feels like battery is dropping really fast.
I'm getting 7-8 hours SoT when battery hitting around 25-30% left. Here's my thread from my first findings.
Battery life?
So I'm coming from a 3 XL, and I even got the battery replaced April 2021, and I was getting about four hours SoT. My 7 in only two days is blowing my mind. Yesterday I had five hours SoT, and today after a full charge, It went from 100% to 99%...
forum.xda-developers.com
Today's usage.
its about the same as pixel 6 for me maybe a little less from daily usage...but smoother for sure and the phone is a little bit smaller which is always a plus
My battery sucks ATM. Only had like 3 full charges so might settle and getting better , hopefully
Another quick update. Haven't used the phone that much yesterday or today yet, and I'm happy with standby time. Over 34 hours off the charger with over 4 hours SoT, and still has over 40% battery.

LOL what do you want? 20 hours SoT? Maybe because I'm coming from a 3 XL with a 3430 battery that after 4 hours of SoT, and only being off the charger for 12 hours, not well over 30, my battery would be at 10%, not 40%, but to me this is freaking awesome battery life.

Anyone getting battery drain with Spotify?
Was listening for 3h with bluetooth headphones and it said Spotify needed 23% which i feel is quite a lot.
3h display on used 5%
Mine is honestly making me regret buying the phone. Too late, sent my trade in yesterday.
I previously had the Pixel 5a and got around 9.5 hours of screen on time over 24 hours. I think most days I could go about 30 hours before running empty.
My P7 gets around 6 hours of screen time over about 18 hours.
So a battery that's 7% smaller is seeing battery life more than 30% worse.
I'm not very happy with the battery life as you can tell, and I just hope a software update can improve things.

Other than the battery life the phone is fantastic haha. It's not unmanageable, I do keep good high-watt chargers in most places like home, work, car, etc. But sometimes I go do something all day and I'm not near a charger. Guess I'll just get used to using battery saver mode in those situations.
I do enjoy the phone, but the battery giving me anxiety is not very fun.

Other than the battery life the phone is fantastic haha. It's not unmanageable, I do keep good high-watt chargers in most places like home, work, car, etc. But sometimes I go do something all day and I'm not near a charger. Guess I'll just get used to using battery saver mode in those situations.

Yeah. I guess. Working 10 hrs makes me nervous about battery life. Lol.
dont reference your SOT, reference it to your previous phone, everone usage SOT is different, one person maybe have 5 hours SOT but on the camera for 70% one person may have 10 hours but only use it for texting or internet.
What ways have you guys found to extend battery life during normal use? Without having to severely reduce the functionality of the phone, ie 5g or reducing screen brightness a ton. I feel like a modern phone a lot of the point is the screen and 5g so those I wouldn't want to sacrifice
Are there settings or other apps that can help? I'm fairly new to Android and so far I've been a bit disappointed with the battery life of the P7.

What kind of battery life are you getting? I only play around on mine (Instagram, Pinterest, SnapChat, and some Candy Crush games), and my main drain is Clash Royale, and I get around 7-8 hour SoT with 20% remaining. I switched 5G off, and only use LTE because 5G (at least in my area) is bad.
Man, y'all must've been spoiled with like 10+ hours of SOT with your old phones... I get around 6-8 with 30 hrs total which I think is pretty dang good. But like someone else said SOT will be much different from person to person based on device usage. I watched a 2hr downloaded movie from Netflix with airplane mode on and it only dropped 12%. And with adaptive charging, I just charge it all night which it will charge, slowly, till full until my alarm goes off.

Exactly. My experience is the opposite though. I came from a 3 XL, and by the time I switched from it to the 7 my battery capacity was down to around 2800. My 7 is like a God send for me. 7-8 hours SoT with the same use as my 3 XL, and I still have 30% left, when my 3 XL would be down to 2%. I couldn't be happier.
I came from the OnePlus9 and all around the OnePlus9 is a better device.
Google has a great UI experience, but these Tensor2 chips do not compete in performance or efficiency with the Snapdragon 888s or higher.
Theyre missing a lot of the refinement that Qualcomm has done with the hardware and it shows.
For those coming from a Pixel 3-5 series, yes this is a big upgrade, and many got great trade-in deals which is what made me give this phone a shot. It does not however live up to it's MSRP. Im hoping Google is able to refine things to greatly improve efficiency on these devices.
