I love everything about this phone apart from the battery life which I was expecting more from. standby time is terrible on my previous phone I'd lose maximum 2% during the night but on this phone it isn't surprising to see 10% drain. The battery is large, the hardware isn't too demanding (1080p screen) so the only problem I see is the software but even after moving to lineage or rr my phone had only very small difference in battery life. the battery is my only only complaint.

You're welcome

Been using it for a few days now and there isn't much difference. I still lose more than 9% at night. Battery still sucks unfortunately. Hopefully there will be a kernel tweak or some other mod that can help.

I also had problems with standby drain. Yesterday I installed forcedoze and turned off the fingerprint reader. Now, I only have 2 percent battery drain during 9 hours which is very good.

Probably the best phone I've ever owned. My only real complaint is that the chin of the phone becomes uncomfortable after holding it one handed, right at the transition between the glass and the body. Other than that, I love it.

It is a balanced smartphone. With a good camera.
One less star because:
- Battery capacity
- Updates with delay. Currently Android 8.0
- The 800Mhz band is missing
- It does not have a wireless charge
