Screen on time

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

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 Xiaomi Mi A2 before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Been using the Mi A2 (4gb/64gb) for 2 days now. 70% will give you about 4 hours+ screen on time. So i'm expecting to last comfortably till 5 hours. Battery drain is good, slept for 10 hours and lost 6%, screen did not turn on anytime during that period.

Yes I did have htc desire (still have it) & many other htc devices. Only recently I own a few Xiaomi devices. Mostly I post in htc forums.

Did you charge it during the day?

For the above screenshots, I fully charge it in the evening a day before. I bought the device 3 days ago. Can only measure the battery life after finished setting up to my likings. I think the battery will be better after few full cycles. Today is my 2nd full cycle to test after fully charge it last night.

Add:

4+ hrs SOT on 50% battery usage

I fully charged the device last night. I'm on 35% right now with 2:30 Screen on Time.

I have no idea how you guys manage 5h+

Without knowing what apps you are using the SOT value alone is not saying much

 

[bursuk2007]

how do you guys get those insane screen on times? I get maybe a max of 3.5
I have gps always on, and mobile data but it alternates with my home wifi.

I really do not get it. Before i have a redmi note 3 and a redmi 5 plus and i never broke the 4.5 h mark. It's only because of the GPS and data?

Edit: I'm going to post a screenshot at the end of the day with my SOT

How is your cellular reception? Do you usually have good signal? Bad signal can cause a lot of battery drain

 

[bursuk2007]

well, this has always been a problem, I even changed carriers this year.

it sucks that in oreo you can't see the reception signal chart anymore

On single charge only then you can measure your real SoT
