Hi,
Been using the Xperia 1 for 2 weeks,
the battery time is quite short for me.
I do most whatsapp, youtube
start working at 9am and around 2pm the phone is around 30ish %

I don't like using Stamina mode (the balance saving version), because i like the always on display (ambient display)
the power saving mode will save more battery however it will make the scrolling chopping which i hate the most:mad:

anyways, any bro out there been playing with the "background process limit"
the default is set as standard limit, if i reduce it to 2, will it really save battery or will make the phone not running properly.

or any other hint to save battery throughout a day like 9am to 9pm?

Display is always set to adaptive.
Wifi always on, in the working 9 hours will have over 6 hours with WIFI connection.

5 hours sot and still 30%

Be sure to use the "adaptive battery" thingy, seems usefull.
Thanks and it is already turned on.
My previous phones were Huawei P20 and Mate 20 pro, can't compare to those.
So i compare with my more previous phones which i still own, the Samsung S8+
battery life is even less.
Is there a way to reduce the screen resolution? I know it is a bad move buying a 4k phone and reduce the resolution but i just want to see if it will help.
My other phones would allow me to select 1080 or 1440, but i don't see this option in Xperia 1

Phones mostly in 1080 so reducing it further won't make much difference to battery

I experienced a noticeable increase in battery life with Creator Mode disabled...
It fits me just right because you can't use Creator Mode an Night Light at the same time, and I use Night Light all the time...

Also, Always On Display uses a lot of battery...

So you mean choosing standard mode and "auto creator mode" turned off?

I also notice always on display will drain the battery a lot so I disabled it too. When it is plugged in to the power the always on display will be displayed anyways

I turned off Smart camera launch and get much better battery life. Who uses Smart camera launch when you have Camera button that is quicker for launching camera.
