When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Huawei Mate 10's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

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

the best that I got with the mate 10 pro EU was 1% lost in 9h15m. this was a couple of days ago. I will try to recreate the scenario and I will post a screenshot.

Flightmode? Wifi on? GPS on? Charge-Level of the Battery?

Mine loses 5-7% in 8h in Flightmode, without Wifi and GPS on when in the 70% Level. Maybe it would lose only 1% when fully charged because the battery gauge stays at 100% for the first few % of drain (~ 100mv on mine).

2% in airplane mode without Wifi and gps
4-5 % in ultra battery saving :)

BLA-29 or 09?
I was using it with a single sim card, mobile data ON, WIFI ON. I am not sure if location history was ON or OFF, I will try again when I have time.

Can everyone here note whether or not they've rooted their phones or not. I'm trying to determine whether the AI is assisting people with their amazing standby times/battery life because when you root, supposedly the AI doesn't work properly any longer

pretty impressive

Mate 10 PRO

I have lost ~0.4%/h with dual sim cards from the same carrier.
Official rom, no root
WIFI ON, MOBILE DATA ON, LOCATION ON (high accuracy), LOCATION HISTORY ON. all apps in the background were closed/cleared.

It was 95% after 11 hours, the screenshot shows 94% because I have forgot to take the screenshot and I have used a bit the phone.

Yes that's really impressive and similar to what I'm getting. What other users have reported (and also in my experience) is that the battery meter takes a much longer time to drop from 100% to 95% compared to maybe 80% to 75%. You can try repeating your experiment above but start when the phone is 80% or 70% and see if you still get the same rate of discharge. I'm curious to know your experience. Cheers!

I will try that also but next experiment is to activate the data saver from: settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile data --> Data Saver change from OFF to ON.. I want to see if this helps a bit...

edit: to see if it helps even if the WIFI is always ON

Guys, give the phone some time to improve performance and reduce battery drain.

The NPU runs when the phone is in standby so, on the first days it's normal if the battery drains faster. If you are changing phone settings all the time, the NPU unit will try to optimize it again.

Also, the latest firmware from HUAWEI improved a lot the battery.
