Light use endurance

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S7's battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

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

I'm still breaking in the phone, but it seems like I should be able to make 48 hours in light usage. It won't be quite as easy as with my old LG G2, though.

i have the phone for almost 4 weeks, light usage (no games, no FB, no YouTube), some web browsing, almost 1-2h of calls and the battery never got under 48h...i am pretty happy with it

Not a good phone for light use.

Stock ROM, a few app disabled. I never was able to reproduce these. 4+ days standby, 7+ hours SOT.

No complaints.

Doesn't matter you are a heavy user or light you'll get only 10-15 minutes of difference.

Adding my rarely used apps to "Always Sleeping Apps" in battery settings has improved my standby time a lot. I can easily get 2 days with 2.5 hours SOT now.
