Heavy use endurance

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Playing Candy Crush for 22 hours straight can take its toll on your battery (and your marriage). Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge's battery performs under heavy use. A higher rating indicates that it lasts a long time even when playing games, streaming video and audio, and doing other CPU-intensive activities.

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

I easily get 6-7 SOT

Currently at 20hrs off the charger, 6hrs SOT and 35% left. I'd imagine in a continuous use case I could get 12hrs.

11 hours off charger, 4.5 hours screen on

Wait, you're not? That's amazing. Especially if you're coming from G920/5. >_>

I'm impressed so far on first charge I got 16 hours with 5 hours screen on time. That is about 1 1/2 hours of games, some Facebook, intent browsing, and airwatch. With the v10 I would have burned thru 2 battery's and then some to accomplish this.

wow without mobile data my phone (note 4) barely lasts 4h! thats amazing No idea how much it lasts with hspa+ :| and it will last like 1.5h in gaming, anyone can try to play games :? I just played for a few minutes and monitored my percentage and estimated it!

Had iphone 6s+ same

eh. about 8 hours with a lot of snap chatting which really drains battery fast. Also was bunch of downloads, a benchmark run and few other things since I got the phone. My note edge would have lasted 4-5 hours if I was lucky.

7-9 hours under heavy use... meaning screen on, running multiple apps, games, and/or movies, etc. It's certainly not an endless power source but if you're a light user, can easily squeeze a day+ out of this.

I end the day of heavy use with around 30% battery (6 am- 5pm). In about 15 minutes I can be back to 55%. No problems for power users.

Look at your signal strength.. How do you expect the radio not drain the battery if thats normal with your operator or location? Thats a good battery life assuming the radio is causing some extra battery drain.

11hrs SOT over 30hrs is what I'd consider heavy usage. Pretty good.

I'm going to call BS on this one unless you are using superduperultrapowersavingmode and you are on exynose.

I typically get about 16 hours with 6 to 7 hours SOT. The same as my S6 edge plus.

Lol no power saving. Just a black theme, bloat disabled, and amoled themed ad blocking browser. I keep sync off when I'm on 4g too.
