It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the OnePlus 5T before depleting the battery.

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

Sorry to your 3t SOT jealous. It's stunning from me because that's my own cycle of daily using a phone. Not like someone who can only tell a cycle by 100%--10%:cowboy:
Jealous? Oh my... Anyways, that doesn't change the meaningless post of yours... Play with something else...

Now had my first Cycle. For that big screen it's more than good. In Comparison to Op5 and Nexus 6p you can see the difference Qhd on Nexus to FullHD on Op5 a day FullHD+ on Op5t. For all the people who want more Resolution inxmy opinion FullHD+ is best choice because it needs less battery and I can not see any Pixels on that great Samsung panels

I got 6 and 51 minutes SOT

I request the OP to edit his first post and tell the users to charge phone till 100% and let it discharge under 10% before posting SOTs without charging in between for the most accurate result.

I had the pleasure of using the OP5 before getting the OP5T and i feel OP5 battery drain was lesser as compared to the T. This is not to say that OP5T has a bad battery life but i was able to get 7.5-8 hrs on OP5 on moderate use with 5-8% remaining. On the T i get around 6-6.5 hrs which is decent. Maybe after a few cycles it might improve.

Typical usage day, 2.5 hours of YouTube and some video calls, chatting etc. OnePlus 3 I got 3 to 3.5 sot max (freedomOS and bluespark). WiFi and 4G.

I like this, never had even near 6 hours in any phone.

Easy answer: smaller Screen means less power consumption. Amoled 5.5 inch vs 6
Wait for updates they will improve bugs for more battery life I think.

Loving the battery life. This is my first discharge cycle and it's double the sot as my old nexus 5x.

    I've always wondered how much a battery degrades by after a few months or year on the $500+ non removable battery phones. when people say good things about their battery life is it right after they bought it instead of owning it for a while? 5t is one of the phones I thought about getting. currently using a note 4 and I've tried 7-10k mah extended batteries but they go bad after a few months. might be unlucky compared to other customers but I've seen a few with similar issues saying they'll drain faster than the stock battery eventually overtime and not just a 10-20% decrease. that makes it hard to believe the numbers listed next to mah nowadays. how do note 8's, pixels, iphones, 5t etc. have great battery life when their mah number is nothing special? is it because of the newer chipsets having less power consumption? or things that aren't explained being better optimized? they're able to have higher brightness, resolution, smooth performance, faster charge, slim design, many features and more things I'm probably forgetting all on at the same time and still be better than the older phones without much tweaking or root. how do u guys think the battery/sot will be on the 5t after a few months from now? would be great if someone could explain to a noob like me. thx!

    Battery life shouldn't degrade for at least 1 to 2 full years+! Common myth suggests batteries just start dying after a few months to get you to upgrade I guess is the theory. This is not at all true. Usually software Gremlins affecting battery life by then. Not even hardware yet.

    Lithium ion batteries get damaged most commonly by people letting them discharge too much. Letting your phone actually die to where it turns off is the absolute worst for your battery!! It shortens Max capacity fast. Even going below 10% or so is not good. The other thing is heat. Lots of people leave in car or up on the dash on a mount in hot direct sunlight. These things really hurt them.

    As long as you avoid those, should last for years with no noticeable degradation until at least about 2 to 3 year mark. I have a one M7 from like 2013 that I use as a music player in my car, so I don't have to use my main. It still lasts roughly just as long as it did when I got it. Was used then about a year already.
