TIP. how to get 12h SOT

[alirey]

After 1 week of use and compare of some settings -->

1. Don't use dark mode in OS or app settings.
Reason: it will not save any power on LCD display but you will have to increase the Backpanel light to be able to read everything.

2. Disable 120Hz setting for now.
Reason: I am not sure if it is a bug but my display stays at 120Hz...all the time (except running YouTube with 60Hz). Even if I don't touch the screen at all.
You can check the actual fps in Developer options - power monitor.

Results: 2h game playing, whatsapp, spotify and browser usage...I have 6h SOT and still more then 50% battery left.
I wasn't able to get 6h SOT on my OnePlus 6 at all

Info: I didn't use plane mode over night. Wifi was active all the time.
Bloatware is removed and using AD blocker.

I have that sot with 120hz, I don't think it makes much of a difference . I use 60 only when traveling

Same settings ofc. Wifi all the time. But I use videoconference software

One more: use samsung browser which is known to use less battery

Also use nightmode slider to set brightness correctly (maximum here) otherwise you might end using more brightness on low light because nightmode brightness is too low

+1 on the other things

You can get rid of most of miui bloatware apps.
It will probably help with battery

whats the point of buying a 120hz display if you have to disable it?

Prisoner without USB cable?

Kidding. Everything is fine meanwhile. All kind of features are enabled. Also 120hz. The battery is banana. Positively surprised from this midrange mobile after using flagships for years.

The phone is BBB regardless of the display, at least here when it was at launch
