Question Asus zenfone 8 , I purchased a new Asus zenfone 8 dual SIM 2weeks ago . But the battery life is just shocking. Had anyone have any thoughts on this ?
- Thread starter Kmoussa
- Start date
Just received an OTA update .22 which supposedly improves 5G battery drain when downloading and system performance, we'll see.
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT.
After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.
Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...
Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).
I use it for work not as my playstation.
I'm super happy.

Late to the Zenfone 8 party. Got mine after my Moto Edge 20 Pro died and glt refunded. I had it with large screens to so I got this one. Couldn't be happier!
I got 8 hrs SOT with my settings. 90hz forced. Included 1 hr MLBB gaming and 3 hrs Netflix (app runs at 90hz too).
Now I'm trying 120hz what would be my SOT.
If anyone interested, I can share my settings.

I get something similar with 90hz and 4g
~10-13% per/h with screen on, 0.7-1.1% per hour with screen off and between 2-3% mixed use.

hi, you can share your settings? i'm only getting 5h 30m SOT in my Zenfone 8, how you do 8 hrs SOT??
Do take note that my 8hrs SOT is from 100 % down to 4%.
These settings are my personal aggressive battery savings. You can start with these and adjust your way depending on your needs:
- Display 90hz
- Turn OFF all screen off wake up gestures (lift to wake, FP screen, double tap, etc)
- Optiflex OFF
- Google Ads off, Play Protect Off
- BT, Wifi Scanning Off
- Digital Wellbeing Off
- AOD Off
- Mobile Data Always Active Off
- Advance Profile (CPU low, GPU low, Thermal High, RAM High, Lower Touch Sampling)
- Adaptive Battery On and all other Battery Optimizations ON
I always keep Location On, don't use 5G, and Adaptive Brightness On.
I will try your settings but do you really think the ones above affect battery life?
Well, maybe or maybe not. I'm just making sure nothing unnecessary is running (and tracking) in the background.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but I couldn't find a way to disable digital wellness and Google ads, how did you do that?
Go to Settings/Privacy and you can turn off Ads and Usage Statistics there.
For Digital Wellbeing, see screenshot. The setting to turn off is somewhere in "Manage Data."

Chosen by a conservative governor. Removed all Google software. I set the refresh rate to 60 Hz. Disabled AOD. Sim one is 3g, the other is 2g. But I still get the same 5-6 hours. I have a suspicion that the reason for the fast discharge is the radio module.2So I have Zenfone 8 since June and battery life is OK, I can get through a day. Saying that I am a pretty heavy user as I had to charge my pixel 3 twice in a day, while now when my father is using it, battery lasts for 2 days with 4-5h screen on time.
Here is my accubattery estimates. They have gone from 6h 10min to 6h 48m in the last week, so maybe the adaptive battery is affecting this.

5-6 sounds about right . That's very disappointing considering it's a 4000amh battery . I would have expected slot more hours.
