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 9 SE before depleting the battery.

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

Hi guys. I am considering buying this phone as I love compact phones for which there are very few options available at the moment.

If the guys who own the device could kindly post the average SOT on daily usage it could be really helpful for people like me to evaluate the device...

Thank you

Hello guys, here are my results if anyone needs it.

Getting 7 hours of screen on time (13 hours since removed from charger) comfortably with moderate usage, no games, mostly browsing, some YouTube and social apps and making some pictures.
It was 6 hours of mobile data (part of it in metro with bad coverage) and the rest is with wifi.

It seems to be sufficient for a whole days use.
I am satisfied with it.

Yeah I had these >7h SOT but most realistic is 5h per 24hours without gaming. My SD625 LCD phone after 2.5years still had a better battery than this one.

Hi, i don't know how you get these SOT.

My SOT, most likely without WiFi, no games even installed. just a few pictures, maps and WhatsApp.

I'm on global stable 10.2.5.0. so far, not impressed nor very satisfied..


Cheers

PS: also tried the tip to change settings to LTE/wcdma only.Screenshot_2019-05-19-21-11-41-489_com.miui.securitycenter.jpgScreenshot_2019-05-19-21-11-34-841_com.miui.securitycenter.jpgScreenshot_2019-05-19-21-11-32-299_com.miui.securitycenter.jpgScreenshot_2019-05-19-21-11-28-443_com.miui.securitycenter.jpg

I buyed MI 9 SE yesterday.
I'm thinking to unlock bootloader and flash xiaomi.eu (have it on my old 4X)
The stable is much worse then weekly? I prefer to not upgrade every week...

No they're essentially the same but weekly has risks of unknown newly introduced bugs. Don't upgrade every week then. I use weekly because at the time I want the latest features and I update like once in a year when there are features that I want to have.

    That's some impressive battery life there. Mine is nowhere near, which is why I'd like to ask some question if you don't mind,
    1. Do you use any "optimisation" Magisk module? No
    2. Where do you live and do you have custom network type set? (LTE/WCDMA, etc) Im in EU so using LTE/WCDMA
    3. Do you use battery saver? (battery saver mode/adaptive battery) Adaptative battery
    4. Which ROM and Kernel are you using exactly? I'm using the latest stable Xiaomi.eu with Okitakernel V2.0, which helps with the battery life but it's still not optimal 9.5.30 beta and okitakernel 2.0
    5. Do you use any noteworthy battery saver method? Eg. a Magisk module, a custom setting somewhere, anything nope
    6. Do you use AOD? Do you have auto-brightness enabled? Always with the auto
    7. Finally, what is you 'Cell standby' and 'Phone idle' drain? I'm looking at the battery stats now and I have 2h 25m screen on time, which counts as 10.6% on the power usage screen, while Cell standby is following with a baffling 9.3%, followed by Phone idle with 7.5%. I'm mostly connected to Wi-Fi, using some messenger apps like Telegram and WhatsApp, so I don't expect 0 idle consumption, but Cell standby almost matching 2.5h of screen on time in terms of power drain is something I can't accept. 1day and 2hrs on battery , 15.3% cell standby , 11% screen (2.45hrs), 9% idle. Battery at 59%.

    Sorry about all these questions but you'd really help me out if you provided this info and anything else that comes to your mind! Thanks a bunch!:)

    Check my answers in red. Im not sure what is the problem. With the stable one you should get a decent battery time.
