battery life is nuts!!!!

[nique0201]

Here's my battery life leaving charger off until 2% and this is what the iber driver app running 24 hours which is a battery drainer!! I can easily get a day without Uber on... And this is also 8 hours SOT never had that before!

It looks like you charged your phone

Yeah I out of habit threw my phone on the charger on a ride to the store it raised it about 7% but the phone only tracks "time on battery" and it was only a 30 minute slow charge. It's still far and beyond any phone I've ever used

My battery life have been really good so far also. I switched to an iPhone last October when the not got recalled and was impressed with the battery life and this is pretty close to the what I was getting from the iPhone

I didn't even get that with my s7edge with bigger battery. Not sure how that's possible. I get that now with my Mate 9 on a good day, but that's a 4000 capacity battery.

Newer more efficient CPU's like SOC835, etc...

 

[JesseMT4G]

Yeah, but bigger screen, pushing more pixels.

It's the combination of the 10nm SoC with the 8 cores that does all the difference. Runs cooler and has 4 cores for both light and heavy task to distribute the load. That coupled with the software optimization makes it a battery sipper. If you think that's good wait until you see the pixel 2 with the SD 830. I'm sure it'll be phenomenal.

Quite the opposite experience for me with my S8+. Compared to my iPhone 7 Plus and my S7 Edge that I recently sold the battery is not good at all. I have had the phone for 3 days now and I am consistently ending my workday with less than 40% left on the battery (somewhere around 35%) with only 4.5h of SOT. I can see that there are processes that are draining the battery in the background, for example DeX which I had to force stop. Note that I am not using DeX and have never used it so I don't even know why the service would be running. My version is using the SD835 chip.

That's awesome!

Which model/variant are you using?

TMobile American snap Drago.. pre update (I have bixby button remapped)

Seems pretty on par or a little lower than the S7 edge. I've reached 8+ hours of SOT and an average of over a day and 6-7 hrs of SOT. It's a US SD820 ATT.

How did you re map it

How did you re map it

With the all in one gestures method. Google it

With my.use being consistent across my last 3 Galaxy devices. Note 5 s7edge and note 7 I have never gotten anywhere near this... Best I had was 4.5 hours on my note... But the Uber driver app always just eats through my battery.

How is this not good? Your probably around 6 hrs SOT

Full resolution for me in high performance mode. I don't do any of that battery saver crap. If I wanted to have reduced performance I would have not bought a $1000 phone. I only use auto brightness.

I am comparing it to my S7 Edge that was running the same Nougat OS and to my 7 Plus. Both achieve better battery life. I never went home with my S7 Edge with less than 50% battery. iPhone is generally around 65%.
