Post up your screen shots and show us how good or bad your battery life is. Tell us whether you have the snap dragon or exynos version, what carrier you're on, what tweaks you may have done, whether you have the S8 or S8+.

I have the Snap Dragon S8+ with T-Mobile.
I have auto brightness on, with optimized performance mode on. I have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS enabled, always on display is also on. I have not shut any apps off except lookout security. I have adguard also. If I can answer anymore questions, let me know.

Best battery life I've ever had on a phone. Screenshot_20170420-082937.pngScreenshot_20170420-082949.png

Not real impressed with mine yet, I know it'll get better but I've only gotten 1hr screen on time so far.

Display set to 1080p, 50% brightness, smart mode, and very little use other then streaming music.
But my lg v20 lasted that long doing the same everyday. Not sure why android eats ups battery streaming music, my iPhone 7 plus can stream music for 8 hrs and still have between 85-90% battery. Hopefully android will make it better.
Like the phone so far though. It's a lot smoother than my s7 edge was. Screenshot_20170420-154113.pngScreenshot_20170420-154124.png

Cool. I'm getting the regular. Should be somewhat close to that I'm thinking. Whats exciting is that your battery life is out of the box. The software must be much more optimized and the processor efficient.

Here's an update on mine after getting home and not steaming music. I'd say if you don't stream music they battery is awesome. I'm happy with battery. Just wish they would optimise music streaming with screen off like apple. But not complaining, I'm happy. Screenshot_20170420-202056.pngScreenshot_20170420-202103.png

Galaxy S8, 5hrs 36mins, blown away by it considering I was only getting 3.5hrs on the S7, disabled some bloatware through package disabler and on about 30% brightness

4 hours playing super Mario sunshine with a ps4 controller got me about 4 hours 60%
720p 50% brightness.
Figured the iPhone 7 is 720p why not save battery

    I have an S8. I'm quite impressed. WQHD+, 50% brightness

    This is very confusing. Everyone with the S8+ you do realize you have your own forum, yes? Posting the S8+ battery life in the S8 forum is useless and confusing and convoluted. Just my opinion, but there are S8+ forums for a reason. It's not the same phone. You can find them here. They have lots of cool categories to post in. In fact, they are exactly the same categories.

    Galaxy S8 regular mostly on Wi-Fi exynos 720p
    AOD off brightness 20 percent
    Its not bad, but you can do that with QHD.
    720p is bad and ugly screen.

    S8. Second cycle. I can never get those crazy SOT on anyone. Idk why but whatever.
