Screen on time

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

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 Xiaomi Mi 8 before depleting the battery.

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

Can any of the device owners share their experience so far with it?

I'm on xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 open beta so battery life can be better when it's stable. Buts it's pretty decent right now I'm happy with it.

15 percent per hour if display is on. If display off than 0.5 percent.
On my usage I get two days.

Battery life is a good surprise, I'm using xiaomi eu

My MI 8 can reach upto 7h30 on-screen time, how about you #5 and #n?

The battery is what I was looking for in a smartphone. Constantly using it (web browsing, facebooking, gaming, youtubing, etc.) for a day, it could last around 8hrs or more, playing games heavily it could drop to 6hrs. I have been using the phone for around 2hrs per day, and it could last up to 3 days. Ah, I have Always-On enabled. My rom is still China, waiting for bypass time to unlock it.

So you are on miui 10 beta, i am still on miui 9.6.7, i hope it is not the issue. I put most of my apps to "not running in background", some are set with no restriction. But the system still kills all apps once in a while, i am new to xiaomi phone so I still dont know if this can be disabled or not. I have not installed all of my daily drive apps because I want to unlock the bootloader and flash global rom first, i also hope this is not the issue
My normal standby drain is about 12hrs for 10%. Oh, I do go battery settings to solve any detected issues when I am on break. I also hide the notch.

Battery life is solid, running china dev and i get 2 days with total ot 5+ hours SOT. For a non stop use indoor i can go 8+ hours

xiaomi.eu ROM (up to 8.8.30) drains battery fast, 15-20% per hour with screen on, = maximum of 4.5-5h SOT. With global stable or global beta ROM getting around 8-8.5h SOT, 10-15% during usage.

Yesterday i bought the phone, fully charged and at 25% i got 7h+ screen on time.. which is completely amazing!! Global stable 9.6 here..

You can easily get over 7 hours of SOT, and more than 30 hours on one charge.

Hi people I wanna alert everybody: DO NOT UPGRADE TO MIUI 10. It drains so much battery than miui 9.6 stable. I've wiped full data, it drains less than before ,but more than 9.6. global stable. I post screeshots
