In wifi at after the battery learn the usage and give you the time left, at least between 50m to 1h usage in 10% but in 10 14h..

In M wifi last sometimes more than a hour.

In nougat only if you see some movie.

The big problem of this is crap bloatware sensors and samsung software, if samsung had clean android nothing of this happen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
that's why i will sell again this s7 edge and go back to the "normal" xiaomi redmi 4 pro, 9h sot in 2 days of usage!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Well I don't know what to say more,

And I'm pretty sure that s8 will not be much better than the s7 in battery.

In couple of days arrive my mate 9 and see how it goes with the edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
Just to show. This screenshot explains why is impossible to get good sots
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
I try to flash other Nougat but come back to BTU again, but one thing I had experience, could be my mind, but the values are always better when you flash all the firmware, not a update buy OTA and then reset, I flash the BTU 2 days ago, my battery already has learned the usage, I remove from the charger with 97%

Auto brightness, and 4G, if we use it, it lasts, but in standby it's drains a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
i have flashed everything from ODIN, with a full flash, so no ota update...

that's why i am getting so mad!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
But there many ways to optimise the battery and lot of options to turn off and still have a functional phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mrmcphisto77:
i am a heavy social user.

Since i do at least 7h30m sot in one day only using whatsapp, facebook, instagram.

With the little redmi 4 pro i get all this 7h30m sot and still can use waze, gmaps and surf the web.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Galactus:
Yes, usage you can get good SOT but idle drain sucks

On MM APC8 I got idle drain down to 0.4% an hour. With nothing disabled (high location, bluetooth, 4g) I lost 3% in 8 hours standby.

On Nougat, 10% in 8 hours standby. Suck
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] beingvishwa:
Mine below. Screen takes most of the battery percentage. Exynos, Nougat
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
This Nougat is driving me crazy, drain is to much in 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
On average with WQHD I get around 5/5.5 hrs of SOT. At work for around 8 hrs on LTE and at home on wifi. Easily lasts me from 6.30 a.m to 11 p.m. with 20 to 30% to spare. I use Bluetooth when I workout.. I got over 6.5 hrs of SOT with FHD..

which phone r u guys talking bout with crappy battery? Is it with snapdragon? Cuz my exynos flies! I can easily use the phone for 2 days. 24 hrs without charge and 2nd day with 30 mins on charger... sometimes 20 mins... I guess exynos is better optimized

Btw m on stock and no root
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Geltos:
Hey guys,

I have a big problem with my S7 edge.

I never get screen on times of more than 2,5 hours when I'm outside, which is crazy. Everyone is mentioning how good the battery life is and its so wrong with my phone...

Would someone be so kind to upload some comparison shots so I could see where the problem might be? I already followed everything I could find on the internet, deactivated almost every function and all that didnt help.

I downloaded the app AccuBattery which always promises a screen on time of about 6 hours but it never happens, it is draining much faster than the app is forcasting. Only problem I see is that I'm often in areas with bad phone signals, but with my old Honor 6 I was in the same areas and never had a screen on time of less than 3,5 hours.

Do you think the Android 7 update could solve that problem? I havent got it yet but expect it to be available within the next 2 weeks.

I still could return the phone within 2 weeks, so I dont really know if I should keep it...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] madvinegar:
This phone gets better over time. 9+ hours SoT.

Exynos variant, stock XEO rom nougat.

Stock theme, just a dark almost black wallpaper.

AOD is off. Location is ON but on battery saving.

Resolution is FHD (1080p)

Mostly on wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jxck:
Can usually get 6-8 hours SoT with moderate use (social apps) and gaming over the course of 24 hours — no extra battery settings.

Nougat 7.0, Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] madvinegar:
I agree. Same here. I only set "location" on battery saving mode (i.e. using only network), and this has improved my battery durability a lot. No other extra battery settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Galactus:
We are mostly complaining about 4g battery life. On Marshmallow it was 7 hours with HIGH location (GPS on everything). Nothing disabled.

On Nougat, you must disable here and there and in 4g, for most of us, forget about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] robertkoa:
Ars Technica Site reports much longer Battery Life from Exynos Version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] izephyr:
18 Hours Runtime

6:15 hours SOT

Impressive for the first battery cycle.

I used the device as usual with the apps I use normlly.

Signing in and using the FB app may change this result. But I do not use much FB app.

I have 4 google accounts syncing with messenger, viber, skype, hangouts.

Played Clash of Clans for Quite some time.

Browsed web using crome.

Watched a few video songs (40-60) min approx.

Lets see after a few cycle, how this goes on. Also, I'll let the fb app sync. And later I will try with black themes.

I am expecting 7-8 hours SOT with the above settings (maybe a little more heavy use).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Kristjan P:
4g/Wifi

Not rooted, exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] deafdudecomputers:
Quite contented with my SOT. Several hours of gaming, YouTube, Gmail, auto brightness, wifi, 4G LTE, and all of this is on T-Mobile branded S7 edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] burnout:
Hi,

Really goog with wifi & Bluetooth on.

Just airplane mode for night...

7h SOT just amazing....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Michaelmansour1997:
Garbage sot...vzw s7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Sebastiansm:
Rooted + xposed + greenify. AOD on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mklass:
Quick suggestion for people...

Try using a dark theme from theme store and a black back ground...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] rodnii:
This is the best it's been so far around the 50% mark... 4hr sot. BUT, it's mainly because a bulk of that sot was achieved when I browsed the web last night in the dark with brightness low. If it were during the day, I'd achieve 5.5 hrs sot by the time I hit about 5-10% battery. Still nowhere near as good as the Exynos version :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Plusplusp:
Mine was getting 2 and half hours SOT and 13 and half hour at 31 %
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] yap_rony:
standby: not more than 7 hours

sot: not more than 3 hours
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stevae:
yeah, i've got the exynos version as well, and not only do i use a dark theme, but i also have battery optimized most of my apps. i also have turned off notifications for almost all of my apps, which really helps. i am averaging just over 8.5 hours of sot and sometimes i get over nine hours, for around 12-14 hours of use. i am a pretty heavy user, but i also keep my screen around 40% brightness, and use powersave mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] stone0504:
exynos variant

Using facebook, Instagram, web browsing, BBS client(almost black background) and few live stream videos and AOD disabled

5:36 hr and 10% battery remaining
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] W00fah:
My phone is not doing well so far since getting it. No idea what i could do to improve the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] skr_xd:
Qualcomm version?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] W00fah:
Yup. On VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] moraal:
Don't know if this has been said before, but my battery life drastically went up after disabling Smart Alert.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Jonbelloguzman:
Thank you for this tip. I'll try it and see how much more battery life I get on my S7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Darkseth:
Dude... That is so nice... I strangely manage only 6 - 7 Hours~ (no powersave mode)~.

Would you tell me, how exactly you use your phone? How long you use which apps?

And maybe, On Which apps are you logged in with Notifications/push, etc?

Did you try, how much the normal powersave mode will improve battery? Much? or just a few %?

Idk, how to hit 8 Hours, except i'm doing like nothing than ebook reading or something.

But i managed 7:38 hours from 100% --> 0%, with doing mostly only Whatsapp chatting (Including 2 nights standby)

But, i want to keep my Email syncs, Wlan etc always on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] liwei8759:
My phone radio keeps consuming more than the screen when SOT is like 3:30. What do you guys think is the cost of it? Bad signal?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] madvinegar:
Unfortunatelly I did not have the chance to test the battery on 4g for a day up to now since I updated to nougat. I am going mostly between my house and my office where I always connect to wifi. As soon as I get the opportunity I will keep you advised.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
I get max 6 hrs is on a full charge about 4 and a bit from 80%. I don't even pay games and have pretty much everything off except 4g and location when i need to use my phone as a satnav, no Bluetooth or WiFi just 4g.

I am to have a high android system/os drain. I don't now why. I'm always on 4g at work. I have a lot of group's on whatsapp which I think is causing my high battery drain when idle. Kind of annoying!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tritran18518:
I'm able to get 8hr SOT (Nougat, Snapdragon 820) with 4g lte ( no wifi), bluetooth, location high accuracy. Mostly use FB messenger, text message and web browser, FHD resolution, lower brightness. This is really good compare to my old note 4 & LG g4 with always had 3.5 to 4hr SOT. No complain here.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Very hard to believe that in 4G the SD make 8h.

In how much time standby you did 8h sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tritran18518:
From 7am to 7pm. Here is screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
With Nougat exynos its impossible to do that and and i have very optimised

With Nougat exynos its impossible to do that and and i have the phone very optimised
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] tritran18518:
Here is my screenshot for today. It's very consistent with SOT. (4hr SOT and 48% battery). LTE 100%, no wifi

- FB messenger

- chrome web browser + watching 10 mins video

- slickdeal app

- 1hr of bluethooth streaming audio

- stock message.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
That's is what I'm doing with my mate 9 now.

Maybe Nougat for SD are better.

Lets see next updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] swapy123:
My sot
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Only 997mah usage in 8 hours. :s wow.

What am i missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
I'am on the latest Nougat for my country, (SEB) and battery life is amazing compared to MM. I rly couldn't believe how ppl where getting 7-8 SOT with 4G, because my best was 4-5 on MM but now its 7-8 and I use my phone the same way I did with MM. It's basically messenger and COC on non stop (living in clouds lol, maybe someone will get it). All I did is updated with OTA and cleared cash in stock recovery. Even standby is better :) Will post pics latter, today is only the second day of Nougat, it might even get better after few weeks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
All stock Nougat without reset and you get 7 to 8h in 4G.

That's is something impressive, for me and other Nougat only get worse in 4G.

Is your exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
Yes mine is exynos. This was second day after getting the OTA.

And today 50 % with 4 hour SOT. I use AOD and ofc it's a constant use of the phone, but that's how I use it when at work ☺
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
Here's mine in Exynos S7 Edge. Nougat treating it well.

My 2nd screenshot doesn't seem to have come up, it was just over 8hours SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
Here's the 2nd screenshot. THIS XDA app is going to take some getting used to. Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
28% with 8h?

Damm

What is your settings.?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
It's more due to being near WiFi and having LTE off (I use HDSPA) due to it being so badly covered by my network STILL in 2017.

Display is at 50%, only use Auto when I go outside.

And then in terms of disabled apps here are mine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
BTW do I rly need to turn off mobile data when I connect to WIFI? When I was rooded I used tasker script to do that, but now on S7E I'am not and I leave mobile data always on. At work 4G is imo good, sometimes even perfect. But at home I know for fact it's rly bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] ef1x:
My sot on renovate 7.1.5 rooted.

Usage is mostly for wifi browsing, when not on wifi then 3g used because my 4g signal is awfull, thanks tcom croatia for that.

Few apps are disabled mostly google, facebook and samsung crap.

Sync is on,location set to gps only,autobrightness is on, aod off, mobile data set to 2g/3g, and most important google play services and playstore set to not use background data which helps in standby drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
ok I'am starting to get 5-6h sot again :( that is imo strange when I was getting a good one and sometimes few apps just crash... play store especialy. I had these disabled anyone tryed this maybe its better to keep them on?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Stevica Smederevac:
Everything is ok but the biggest mistakes is disabling play store and Google play services. It's a no no
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
You can keep all off everything works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mankvl:
And does it increase any battery or is it more for the privacy part?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
A little bit not much but a little.

Since marshmallow I have everything off
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Justinphxaz:
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Snapdragon) on Nougat 7.0 BQA2. Fully charged from 100% - 5% battery drain. Medium power savings mode was enabled the entire time along with FHD resolution. Pretty happy with the results and works with my usage habits for what I need it for. 11 hours SOT, 29 hours off the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] spidey44:
I had major battery drain on standby 5-7% an hour. I was able to narrow it down to the IMS services. So what I did was disabled WiFi calling and then rebooted and cleared cache. Now I get about 1% drain an hour on standby and also better drain when in use. Hope that helps some of you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] inspron:
How did you manage to narrow the problem down to IMS services? Did you just disable the single IMS service process or were there others?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] spidey44:
I used GSAM with the adb commands - it highlighted the Android system and when I dug into that it showed IMS. I did not disable the IMS service (you can't it will cause issues). I found that IMS was using the wifi calling process. I disabled wi-fi calling in setting and that solved it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] inspron:
Such an obvious answer but you saved me from making a stupid mistake of disabling the IMS service which would create a lot problems like you said.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] mashardpro:
My SOT

Average reached 8h + SOT in more than 24 hours.

Condition: TGP cusrom mix with apollo kernel. and I also replace Google Cloud Messaging and Play Services with Microg. Dual sim card on, I use for social media and browsing. Not for the game, and no power saving. with power saving might be more SOT.

There are many factors determine the durability of the battery, and this time I focus on the replacement of the entire google service with microg, because before I replace with microg, I can only 6/7 h sot in the same conditions
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] nicolasefv:
Here are my results on my s7 edge with android 7.0 exynox version. Am very satisfied almost 4 hours SOT at 50% mostly used on social apps like Facebook or Instagram and Chrome.

You say this is bad?

That's not that bad.

If you do 7 to 8h it's very good.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] zsszeli199417:
usually around 5-6 hr total screen on time. but seeing 8-9 hours here from other ppl. thats why i am asking
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] swapy123:
Its good 5 to 6 hr

Other people use it minimal so they get 8+ hrs....

Guys is there a way of disabling autosync and still receiving push emails?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Try to use blue mail app but don't optimise it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
Just tried it, didn't work for me. I might have done something wrong though. I just need one outlook account to push emails through. There's nothing else i need the auto-sync function for. Really annoying as I'm sure that disabling this will help my battery last longer in standby and sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] cavags5:
Disabled helps lot.

Try in the app always synchronised, and don't optimise it.

Sometimes don't work right way on 4G but in wifi works very good with sync off.

Its what I use.

And i test all the best apps at the same time and blue mail it's the fastest.

In nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] Macblack1991:
This is my SOT and still 30% left. I was mostly in whatsapp.

Loving the Nougat update. Wish there was a way to get my Android System usage lower, but its twice as good it was on MM.

I easily get 8hrs SOT on my exynos S7 edge.

* This is with about 75% wifi 25% LTE

* Brightness 40-60% closer to 40 most of the time

* AOD on all the time.

* Apps mainly used are : WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, web browsing and about 20 mins voice calls and a couple selfies. No gaming or much video recording...

I can't easily get over a day and a half if I bring my SOT down to 5-6 hrs and I can easily hit 9-10 hrs SOT if I use it constantly.

Everyone with the exynos version who use their phone similar to me should be seeing similar numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] drummerman:
I did but after 8 months SOT has reduced by approx. 20% and I am now down to 6 to 7 hours SOT with between a day and two on standby.

Still brilliant though and the battery is easy to change if needed.

Great phone (Still on MM by choice)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] jboodram:
Over a day standby with 7+ hrs SOT. I've been using Samsung devices since the Galaxy s2 and what I've realized is after about a year of use all Samsung devices tends to retain less than 90% it's original capacity. I've always thought it was bad apps but even when I factory reset the phone never seems to get even close to the battery life it gets when first purchased. Could it be the fast charging?

I had the regular S7 and only recently switched to the S7 edge as my SOT on the S7 went from 6+ hrs when first purchased to 4.5hrs a year after under similar usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Real Life Review] kk-ftp:
