SD820 S7Edge. Few calls and chats in between. Phone is completely 'pixel'ed out with the live earth wallpaper, google assistant and all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
For a Snapdragon that's is hard to believe even with root, and everything on.

That screenshot don't tell nothing.

Share the rest of the screenshots with the apps.

And share your settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sosjadd:
Perfectly understandable. This community doesn't see much or understand much about the G9350. You will have an even harder time believing the graph as well. Looks like a protractor.

Watched x264 encoded movies on it the entire day with auto brightness, several short phone calls, some FBM/WHATSAPP messages but nothing out of the ordinary in my normal day to day. All the settings from the previous post as exactly as tested.

I am sure if I turned off sync and the other items I can probably get more juice out of it per day. Phone is rooted, busybox installed, stock rom thats deodexed by myself, Gov set to conservative.

Dont have any battery manager or wakelock control. All done by the kernel. I attached a couple hour test of betterbatterystats as well from last night. Drains about .3% per hour when the screen is off. Phone thinks its a pixel, home screen attached.

Its all in the kernel. Do a search on my previous posts. Should lead you to the information your looking for. I did a hard test on the kernel in Interactive mode with VOIP and Video Conference calls on a 12 hour day and still came back with more juice then I expected.

While your at it, check out what my phone benchmarks as well. Overclocking is not available yet. Starts getting scary when it is. ;)

Credit really goes to [MENTION=3463480]travis82[/MENTION] . It's his kernel development that allowed me this battery life. No lag, just a nice cool to the touch phone that has amazing battery management. Figured I would share it with everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] babylordx:
I could game 6hrs straight w/o charging it, with 35% left from 100%.

i've got nothing else that beats that. Standby drain at 2% overnight, seriously amazing for an android phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] The Suspect:
Like Babylordx, i really dont get this problem, that it seems alot of people here is experiencing.

I have the Oxynos version, and i also could go for 6-7 hours of gameplay straight, with a very Little use of battery.

after heavy use, it still managed to have at least 5-20% at the end of the day. So yes, i could not be more happy about this battery, this is more than enough for me to go through a Whole day without charging.

I guess i could go about 30 hours, without charging. Im very impressed by this phone.

BTW, i do not think it has something to do with the Oxynos og Snapdragon. Otherwise i would have this problem too, and i dont, at all.

How about battery life with dual sim versions? Any UAE user here?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] chippyuk:
Chaps, whilst all these listings of SOT are great they are all subjective!

Please can you list what apps you have running etc... e.g. FB takes a lot of juice, background syncing.... If you are rooted, disabled any apps etc... This is the sort of info that will help others.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jonathan3579:
I have pretty great battery life!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] squallz506:
8.5hrs SOT, 60hrs runtime. It looks like it only dozed when I had less than 15% battery :/

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] liwei8759:
Wow that is some truly amazing and insane battery life!! Early verdict could probably be made that Snapdragon scores better than Exynos on battery life.

Awesome.... will trade my note 5 for that beast..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] danny772:
UAE user here .. it last the whole day but i only use it for chatting a little bit of gaming.

Its not great .. i dont know why i just get around 3 hrs SOT and by the end of the day battery is down by 60 - 70 percent

I hope samsung fixes this soon.

Another question i have is why is it DUOS here when all phones including mine have the hybrid sim tray.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Ausboy 2011:
9.5 hours sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] belloni:
Mine doesn't seem to be entering doze on wifi just alot of 'cell standby'. How can we change the Wifi band from 5gh to 2ghz as this fixed it on my Nexus 6p?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tmorterlaing:
I urge you to go and look at GSM arena. The S7 Edge has a VERY good rating, but turn off always on screen and the edge feed etc - it literally reduces it my 30%.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] hnyuk49:
I got 4h20m SOT and 12% left. 4G on, sometimes wifi on with 2 google account, fb, messenger, whatsapp, web not play game or video. Only 30% higher than my S6. Not very impressive. In short i must say i admire how ios optimize the Ram, Battery and Data management. Android is still far behind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] marquinhodsdm:
While I have been getting decent screen on time (4hrs), I think it could be better. Screen is very battery efficient, however.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sweteg:
I had this in another thread;

My settings and usage with T-Mobile USA:

Always on Display: ON

Wifi: ON when connected

Location: ON

Bluetooth: ON and OFF

Sync: ON

Autobrightness: ON

Usage (16% battery left):

- majority web browsing which can be hard on battery because of data

- text, calls, 2 push email accounts

- few reboots for different things

- Music streaming

- weather auto-updates every time I turn screen on

- messing around with phone and settings, tweaking, themes, etc

If I tweaked it for an iron man contest, it's likely I would get around 9+ hours. As in AOD off, bluetooth/location off, brightness static at low value, power saving mode when it drops very low. However, there is no fun in that unless I'm traveling.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] koji188:
Hey guys. I'm from Malaysia. We've got the Exynos dual Sim version. I just got my phone yesterday and this is my battery life test.

Don't think I'm a heavy user. Moderate I must say. Settings as follows:

3G Only

Sync Off

Location Off

Power Saving mode on

Brightness Auto

Edge Task Off

Edge Lights Off

Always On Display Off

And these are the screenshots. My only gripe with this phone is its standby time. I'm from the iPhone 6 Plus. That phone has insane standby capabilities. I could leave it at home all day and come back in the evening and it has probably drained only 2%. With the S7 edge however I unplugged it from the charger at 12am last night(I did the same for my iPhone to test it out) and woke up around 8:30. Battery was drained by 8%. That's roughly 1% per hour. My iPhone 6 Plus was still at 100%. That to me is a bit too much. You guys have any ideas on what I should do to reduce the discharge rate when it's on standby? Btw my WiFi always on is set to off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] travis82:
You do know there are 2 snapdragons that are able to be bootloader unlocked. Im sorry you exynos guys got shafted with crap procs and bad battery life. Should of bought a snapdragon :) Poor exynos guys I do feel bad for you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Ok, rooted and right kernel coud achieve some better results than stock, but that graphic you show, that is not a real day usage.

And i believe now that is possible.

You had use your phone without stopping during 14h, and watching videos and movies.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] travis82:
Do you want a real world normal joe schmoe usage scenario? I'll get some screenshots out myself give me a day or two to run the battery down. But on average if I use it as a phone casual whatsapp, hangouts cuz I am an expat, I hit the charger at 12am with 36% left on average. I wake up at about 5-6am thats common for me. From what I see with an OC cranked up exynos your benches are just barely ahead of a snapdragon 820's that is optimized well. And the snapdragon hasn't even been oc'd yet just. You exynos guys your 8 core ya know, while you run 4 cores at 1.6 we run 2, same go's for the large cluster. So why are you exynos guys just not smacking down everyone when you have double the cores? Exynos sais it launches apps quicker, I want to challenge that again since snapdragon is a bit more mature now.

Ok end of rants, I'll get those screens up in a day or so that way you all can see how we are doing against exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Diaze:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] TechnoGenuine:
Decent SOT of 5-6HRS of SOT expecting the new samsung to be even far better
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] sosjadd:
I would've said the same before kernel development started taking place. Amazing what a small group of people and one dedicated programmer can achieve. Going from a stock kernel to beta9 and an early beta10 test is like night and day difference lol.

:good:

No Root, No Power Saving, just the awesome Exynos :)

Brightness at 40%, I disabled and uninstalled the network bloat that I could and stayed away from Package Disabler. I also used Smart Manager to Power Save most apps.

Loving this beast so far.

Taken today, I assume some want to see this or there will be hissy fits.

Hi there,

As I said in my previous post, I stayed away from Package Disabler, I disabled the stuff I could with App. Manager.

Here's the xml (had to install PD to get it), doubt it will help though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
I want the s7edge after seeing that result
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] golfinggino:
this phone does get great battery life - even better for me on android n - now getting around 2 hours sot for every 25% battery a bit less with location on and Bluetooth connected to my gear s
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] bodomfan:
So around 8 hours screen on time is that with no wifi use
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] golfinggino:
8 hours would be no lte no Bluetooth and no location any of these will decrease the sot

Nougat beta zpk4.first cycle 2hrs 20% almost identical to apf2. FHD screen. No root yet. No aod/edge app/advanced feature sensors. Also safe to say that i havent seen any crashes yet . Giving my phone more time to settle in . Will update in a few days .

No vibrations, black theme, black wallpaper, hd screen, debloated a lot (just unistall apps), power saving mode, blue filter always on at 50%, use Wi-Fi or Data mobile only when i need. And using a lot internet browser. With Marshmallow i've had only 8 hours and 10 minutes maxim SOT. After i updated to Nougat i cleared cached partition.

I have also been saying this.

I got rid of Packgae Disabler and just disabled what I could with the Built-in App Manager and its working just fine, getting fantastic battery life.

Galaxy S7 Edge Exynos +128GB MicroSD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Reshikrom:
Exynos too. Did the same. Disabled everything I could with app manager. 5 1/2h screen on with 13% left on APC8 from March.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cas93:
Sadly, I have to report that after updating to the Nougat Beta the Android-System-Bug returned. It drains always as much energy as the screen. That's the same bug with the previous firmwares. Maximum achieved SOT with such firmwares is about 2-3h.

I recently did a downgrade to a february / march version where this bug was not present and the phone performed lika a charm. It is absolutely not comparable, about 4-5h SOT.

Do you guys have any idea how I can get rid of it? German G935F.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
All that have it high on nougat beta wait some time... it's is always huge at first, later it should lower it self down. Anyway 4-5 h sot should be default.

I am consistently getting 7 hour screen on time on 4G ..battery hardy drop when on stand by
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Chris Hansen:
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? This phone is brand new (got it on Friday), not rooted (and don't think I can since I have AirWatch), and I've been getting abysmal battery. AOD is off, and I set my background and theme to black. I'm not sure what else to check. I bought this phone because of all the rave reviews on here, but it's worse than my 6P.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jpcdeux:
Well that's a good amount of screen on time. You have download booster, NFC and bluetooth on. Are you putting apps to sleep that you dont frequently use? Are you limiting background data usage? There's a lot you can do to help battery. When I got my phone I set it up in the store to get me to the home screen. When I got home I took the OTA then wiped it to start fresh.

With the latest N beta I get right around 5 hours screen on time per charge give or take. With the last beta I was getting a couple minutes short of 6 hours
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jpcdeux:
Not the best but been using mildly heavy this morning
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Chris Hansen:
2 hours isn't that great when everyone else here is talking about 2-3x that... As you can see, I've only got ~16 hours total use. I wouldn't even last 24 hours according to the usage. That's awful compared to my 6P.

Yes, I use the features that this phone offers, I don't understand people that disable everything just to extend their phone. I installed Greenify and disabled WiFi scanning to try and extend my battery, but it hasn't helped that much (phone was down to about 20% after 2h SOT yesterday). I have a handful of programs that I limited background data on, but the problem is, I don't know what to limit, since it's showing Android System/OS as the culprit. I'll disable download booster and see if that helps, thanks for the suggestion.

It's my understanding that I can't go to the beta since I'm on Verizon (and I'm not sure that my corporation would allow it with their config... But I'm certainly willing to try if I can go into the beta).

Phone was brand new, shipped from Verizon, I updated it out of the box, and started fresh. This isn't my first rodeo. :)

I'm just at a loss as to how everyone else seems to be experiencing great usage, and my searches haven't really turned up much.

Also, to clarify, I've done the following:

-Factory reset after latest OTA

-Disabled WiFi scanning

-Disabled some bloatware

-Disabled 'OK Google' detection on any screen (which I miss and had enabled on my 6P :/ )

-Turned off most gestures

-Turned off AOD

-No Facebook

-Disabled(?) Nearby Devices (or never enabled in the first place)

There might be a few other things, but it's been a week now, so I might have missed something. I'm happy to start from scratch if i just know what I'm doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jpcdeux:
I'm not used to that stock battery monitor so I assumed that was 2 straight hours on screen on. Idk why you're having such bad life. Honestly I'd return it. I had to return my first S7E due to a data leak somewhere, the home button was jank and I had awful battery life. The next one I got, this one, is MUCH BETTER
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] swapy123:
The latest beta has some issues especially for T-Mobile. Samsung is going to fixed it by next week. Its related to network band or something like that.hence the drain and signal drops..so just need to wait for update...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] golfinggino:
yes your sot is very poor - i have Bluetooth on all day connected to my gear s and location on all day - getting well over 3 hours sot and still have 50% battery remaining, i'm on the latest android 7 beta
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Erik1805:
Small question, what is better for stand-by? Leave Wifi always on and disable 4G or Wifi in sleep and 4G on?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] duskdiyebiri:
Wifi always uses less energy so if you have wireless connection use it instead of 4G

These are the same questions my friend and I have been asking for months. It is infuriating reading posts in this thread bragging about 5-6 hours of sot while we (him on att, me on sprint) are lucky to get 2-2.5 hours with light but regular use. I just haven't seen any convincing information to show me how I can get the amazing longevity others are claiming without crippling the functionality of the phone.

Im on latest beta, and is bad in 4g, WiFi is not bad, but APC8 is the best fw.

100 to 90 1h , is the normal in wifi.

I can't get that with Nougat.

Im gonna stay until new beta ,or release the final version, and if it will be bad, I will return to APC8.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Reshikrom:
Yeah I'll update to the first official nougat and see how battery life is. If it's as bad as with October patch I'll go back to apc8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] 10thDmenxn:
you can limit drain, and increase screen on time with the right combination of apps and measures. such as a black theme, limited background apps running, battery optimized every app not needed to be active all the time.
