well, if you don't do all of it, i'm not sure any one thing alone can help you. like, why would you not have a dark theme on now? seems you keep dancing back and forth with one thing or another. i might be wrong, but until you try all of them together, i can't guarantee anything. although, as soon as i put a black theme on my phone, it immediately helped in my battery life. so whatever you are doing with the other things, it is obviously having an ill affect. doing all of the things i laid out above has helped many people according to the emails i've gotten back. so it's up to you...

This is my screen on time from today and I'm pretty happy with it.

But this was much more on 30%-70% brightness than,not like someone said that they can do on 75% -100%. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] quadlt:
I have done most of your said tips before your comment and a simple black theme really can't be the culprit, don't be naive. Maybe just got unlucky with my battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
if you have even the simplest of understanding about superamoled screens, then you should be able to understand that it is NOT naive that the black theme is a huge help for battery life. but if you want to be stubborn, then so be it. stick with your light theme, and enjoy your 4 hour sot. so be it. i'm done.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] quadlt:
I know how amoled screens and black backgrounds work together, but many people here get 8+ hrs without any special themes or even optimizations, just purely running stock. Once again, I agree a black theme has an impact, but it's minimal. Good luck on trying to read out the letters in direct sunlight on your black backgrounds, haha

Every mah of battery is really worth it

Im getting great battery life , my average is 7:30 of SOT and 1 day and 4 hours of battery , Im running all apps(including bloatware) none of them disabled , stock rom and no dark theme , and LTE all day , Exynos ,
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] chris2busy:
Hey mate. i can get a dark theme (wish it could be same as tw stock but black) ?

All of the themes on Samsung theme store have horrible icons etc..

not rooted device.

Please recommend , like 1 of those themes shown on 2 previous pages.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
yes, and like the guy below your post, 7.5 is pretty good. but i'm getting well better than that, and a lot of it has to do with the theme. there is no such thing as too much screen on time. so you stick to what you're doing. it really seems to be working for you. lol. and as far as reading anything in direct sunlight, i have ZERO problems. my screen is gorgeous, and easy to see in all light. don't know why you are so handicapped, and have so many problems in so many of these things, but that's just what i guess you must deal with. hahaha.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 AM ----------

hey, not really sure why you don't root your device, as it allows a million times more options. but to each his own. i am using sd black as a general theme, but then i have the entire phone decked out with modifications from xposed. there are literally thousands of mods on xposed, to make your phone look any way you want it to. even like stock tw, but black. that is one of the biggest reasons why i root. plus you do know you can put any one of fifty thousand icon packs on your device. do some searching and find out which icon pack you like, and use them. i also use nova launcher, which allows you to change the icon packs as well. and it is free if you want. but there is a paid version, sooooooo worth it. i hope this helps you out.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] quadlt:
You know damn well that every single piece of hardware behaves different even if it's the same phone. I had a note 4 before this and my battery life once again was probably worst on the forums even with great roms and optimizations. Some things you just can't choose or change and I'm not sure if making fun of my bad luck is anything funny. I'm happy that you have a longer lasting phone, but don't forget my phone can be faster in performance and many other things. Done with you, arrogant ****.

i started out trying to help you. you refused to acknowledge my help, and even acted combative about it. so be it. i was fine with it. but you couldn't just let it go, you just had to keep bringing it up again, and again. also it's a bit hypocritical to bug on my laughing as a direct reply to your laughing in just the previous post. so if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. good grief, i try to help you, and you try to lure me into an argument. glad you're done. you can have the last word, because i won't respond to you again...

I was getting the same battery life and SOT but now after flashing the stock rom 3x times the phone is better than ever , I'm getting a full day of battery and 8-9hours of SOT, have you tried to do a cache wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] turtuv:
Yes i tried. Anyway i always get a full day of usage and this is the important thing, but i realized that the kind of usage (even when you leave the phone on the table for about 90% of the time) is very different. There really a lot of different kinds of usage, but at the end of the day i think that the very important thing is this: the phon must arrive to the end of the day under a heavy usage. My two cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ralls94:
I agree with you , nowadays everybody's goal is to achieve a full day of battery life but it's not the same thing to achieve that with 6-8 hours of continous usage (SOT) compared to achieve 1 and half days of battery with only 4-5 hours of SOT

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

Good battery life man, I could achieve easily 3 days just by reducing my SOT but I think it's more productive to achieve a day or a day an half of battery with 9 hours of SOT like I do rather than using the phone a couple of hours per day just to make it last 3 straight days , but it's your phone you do whatever you want with it !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] zoreli:
Its only on weekend like that , on work days phone is on charger every night :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] masc81:
Well honestly I am also very happy with the battery lifetime.

2 days standby with 5 SOT. That's exactly what I want and need.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] MetehanG:
is that good? ? don't think soo

Battery life is low
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] masc81:
Sorry i did not know this was a contest. When i use the phone only for one day and reduce the brightness i'm sure SOT would have been 7-8 hours, but this is not the way i use my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] liam_davenport:
Highest SOT I've had on any device using Echoe rom v8 with just over 24hrs standby 50% brightness, Locations off, sync off, nfc etc all turned off very impressive for only 3600mah and a 2k screen

some good sot posted, I just traded my note 5 and very happy with the battery on the s7 edge - currently at 5 hours sot - total uptime 14.5 hours with 25 % battery remaining Bluetooth on connected to my gear s - currently stock unrooted. my note 5 rooted custom rom, undervolted and underclocked could not do anywhere near this sot. The main thing for me is to get through a day on a charge - I couldn't with the note 5 but can with no problem on the s7 edge :)

I already

Try to do it even with minimum brightness and always goes higher than the sot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You are right.

I don't know whats happen first charges all good.

Then its started to get worse.

I downgrade, factory rese, but can't reach the time of the first charges.

Now i upgrade again., but don't have time yet to do a factory reset, it seems to improve a little bit but not good as the first ones.

This only in 4G.

And anyone notice battery get heating a little bit.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sashankps:
Its just my third battery cycle since i unboxed the device, no brightness was minimised (Always on auto- and i spent decent time out in broad daylight) No special use, just regular out of the box use.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I have always the twice of the sot.

Its impossible i try at night minimum brightness and black theme and never to that.

Strange.

I have always 50% brightness during the day.

This is what i have now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sashankps:
Well, its hard to say. Maybe you're gaming ? Maybe you have the NFC always on.. many other factors.. hard to say. I have the Exynos variant btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
No gaming.

Everything of and disable.

Only 4G on.

Facebook messenger xda browser. And calls youtube.

I have to search here why.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skr_xd:
4G takes a LOT of battery with all devices. Those who are with very high SOT are with Wi-Fi.

Else, switch to 3G

Got 5 hours screen on time yesterday and on 3 hours, 40 mins with 26% left
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Its quite bad for the edge.

Do you play games
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] thegame261:
No don't see how that's bad. Seems pretty good when most reviews say they get around 6 hours on screen time

My battery lasts me all day and when I go bed at 23.00 it still has enough juice

To me that's All I need from a phone. I get a good 6 hours on screen time when on wifi which to me is very good

I get consistent twitter notifications all day and I have like 10 widgets as well

People who get loads of on screen time likely don't have many widgets or notifications to the amount I have
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Wifi doesn't matter to me.

Only 4G.

And i have messenger tumbler Facebook, email without sync on, but always pumping emails and notifications.

I have a app i receive emails without sync on. 4 emails.

Now it's starting to make heat today i go up to 39 degrees which battery drain faster and the minimum i get is 3.5h 50%.

I get home and never drain the all the battery yesterday go to bed 10% with 8h.

Wifi drain the same as 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] thegame261:
I'm sorry but there's no way wifi drains battery more than data

Data kills the battery so much quicker. Sure wifi kills it more in standby but when you are using the phone? Data drains more

Not many people get 8 hours and not sure how it's possible to be honest

However we all use our phones differently so that is what affects different people's battery life as some apps will drain more than normal

If you get consistent notifications during the day your battery life will take a hit than those who just use it when you use it without huge amount of notifications
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Its not only me who notice that ,

I know wifi is to last longer but on this device or this update people notice that.

When I bought the this phone first 3 days i did almost 1h for 10% get to 50% with 4.5sot.

Then start to get lower sot up to 3.5h sot 50%.

Even when reduce the brightness at night don't see big improvement.

But with my note 4 i only get 5h 4G

But in wifi at home i get 7h.

But with the edge don't notice difference.

Only have big battery always last more.

But for the battery this phone have

For the difference for the other phones the battery had to make 10h normal usage.

But touchwiz is mess up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Diaze:
With wifi i get 6h so?,on 4g i get 4..so i think wifi drains less unless your having a very good reception for 4g

I have the s6 edge tho
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] thegame261:
Credit to for getting such great battery life. This battery is so much better than my 6s plus as that drains quicker

Might try a black background and see the difference in my screen on time compared to now

When on wifi I watched a full football game and it drained about 20%

I do have Bluetooth on all day as it syncs with my gear s2
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Spewed:
I don't understand how any of you are getting 7 and 8 hours of screen on time. Meanwhile, myself and others are struggling to even get 4, once again making me question why I didn't just stick to my iPhone 6s. I'd like to be able to achieve the same battery life as some of you.

I have the T-Mobile snap dragon variant here in the U.S. I have my screen brightness set to auto, I have always on screen turned OFF, I never have wi-fi on, blue tooth I do usually leave on, but that shouldn't be causing such a discrepancy between us. I use NOVA launcher, and an icon theme, but that's about it.. I do have Facebook installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:

Do you have auto brightness on?

Is there anything you switch off?

I don't get it guys. My sis has the Exynos variant and she only managed consistent 3 SOT. Which absolutely sucks because people are topping 10 hours of SOT. I'll be really happy if the phone did 6 SOT but doesn't. She only uses Wifi and 50 percent brightness, barely any third party apps.

Yet it only managed 3 SOT. Could the phone be defective? Can I claim warranty? I don't know what's up with the phone.
