what Jetbruicelee said.

first few days are not the best "regular usage" times..

I've had my phone for a week now.. and I'm averaging about 5 hours SOT. and I get home from 10hour work day with about 40% left... where as with my Nexus 5X i would be 15% or less.

I'm very happy with this phone.

Yesterday gave my new S7 a workout. Got a total of 7 hours SoT !

So this new S7 compared to the S6 give much more juice?

14 hours 52 mins on battery. 3 hours 42 SoT. 14% left. Exynos SoC. Day 2 ownership (i.e. first full charge). What are people disabling in terms of bloatware?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] InterFace86:
Full day of usage. Lots of play time and just browsing/chatting/videos.

Only NFC is off allways. BT is allways on and check my HR every 5 minutes (mi band 1s tracker on hand). Also connects to my car automaticly (i was driving about 1.5hours today).

Quite OK :) Exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Pleske:
Since everyone uses their phone differently, I decided to measure my battery life when using my frequently used apps.

S7 Exynos version with everything left on auto/default (except always on screen turned off):

0.6% battery drained per hour overnight = estimated 166hrs standby time

1.5% battery drained per hour in my pocket during the day = estimated 66hrs standby time

10% battery drained per hour while using Chrome = estimated 10hrs screen on time

10% battery drained per hour while using MX Player = estimated 10hrs screen on time

15% battery drained per hour while using Google Maps Navigation = estimated 6.6hrs screen on time

20% battery drained per hour while using Gear VR = estimated 5hrs screen on time.

Since I spend most of my time web browsing I am very happy with the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
Anyway i didn't think that the s7 battery was so great. It's my second day with the phone, exynos version and for the moment i've 13h 10m with 2,39 h of SoT....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] unknownbeing:
I don't understand how everybody is getting such great battery life, I'm at 67% with 47 mins of SOT, been like this since day one and I even did a factory reset about a week after I got it because of this issue. S7 Edge T-mo variant
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] fabiok81:
I think the cause could be or the snapdragon variant or a pre fw version.

This is my results and it seems really good

Around 3 hours of SOT. At most I think it will be 3 hours and3 30minutes.

S7 T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] conquereddroiduser:
My first two full days have gotten 4:30 hrs and 5:20 hrs of SOT with the S7 SD820 version. I'm generally in a good signal area, so that obviously helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] InterFace86:
Something is very wrong or snapdragon just sucks.

If i unplug the phone from charger then i get 45-65minutes of screen time when it reaches 90%. Usualy exacly 1hour - depens what i do.

Havent seen less than 5 hours of SOT yet and that came with heavy gaming also. Usualy around 6.

Am I the only one who feels like the battery lasts shorter with every security update?

In may I got on my roms 5 to 6 hours sot no problem, but I barley scratch the 4 hour mark with greenify and amplify.

Is there a way to go back to the may version?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
I got the july security update yesterday and since then i had 1 really really heavy day of usage because i travelled around my country for the day - brightness almost 100% all the time, 4g on all the time when i needed it and i also used Facebook and messenger constantly since i was bored in the car. I also used google maps a bit to navigate around a city and after around 18 hours of phone usage i got 5 h and 10 mins of sot. Which i think is pretty good. Have you changed anything before or after updating?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] deereper:
Good to know.

I assume, since you said you "got the update", that you use the original Samsung ROM with no root / Xposed, right?

Also in the battery overview, can you remember if you had a high android system / is battery drain?

Because mine is constantly at around 20 percent.

Thank you

Guys, to see what is draining your battery under "Android OS" kindly you can check out my guide here! I believe this will help a lot of people, if you guys think so please add the thread link to OP. Hope it helps!

I am currently at 53% and 3h and 12 mins of SOT, and my android system is using 17% of my battery. Yes, i am all official , no root, no xposed .

What i did was to use a fix a user provided (forgot where the topic was) and that was simply disabling google play store , google services framework and google play services and then enable them. I didnt need the fix at all, but i noticed a little bit better battery life after it . Hope i could help you out !

EDIT : I also cleared the cache of google play services.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rnrnrn:
My 5 cents to the discussion

Model: SM-G930FD (yes - two SIM model but I glued the second SIM to the SD card so I have it all)

Build: MMB29K.G930FXXU1APF2

Battery at 70%, running 12h48m47s, screen time 2h12m18s.

From my point of view:

- 10% per hour when browsing (both WiFi and 4G),

- remarkable 4.3% per hour when reading a book with both SIMs active,

- 20% per hours when using Gear VR.

It's not perfect - sure - but good enough nonetheless ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
Getting around an average of 6.5 sot with the G891. I little disappointed but better than my nexus 5x
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] drummerman:
I think that's pretty decent for a 3000mh battery and qhd display.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
The G891 is the active with a 4000mh battery
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
Was about to hit 7 h or more of sot if it wasnt for my stupid addiction to pokemon go for the last 20% of my battery :crying:

EDIT: Sorry , wrong screenshots.

Actual sot was 6h and 14mins...usage was about a day and 4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
And thats only 9 hours of usage...id say its not normal but since i have never used a phone with a 4000 mah battery i cant say anything...but since my flat s7 exynos is getting close to 6.5 sot for an entire day... id say its not normal
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] deereper:
Care to share how you did that?

Are you running Stock or a Custom Rom, and are you on the newest security patch?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
Yeah I wish I could see more people sot with the active. But I should mention that I have auto brightness on with the default set at 50 percent with everything else on butt always on display
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
There is always on display on the active?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
Yes the active is pretty much a regular s7 with a bigger battery and rugged exterior
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
If you are using the snapdragon version then this sot is good . If you are on exynos im pretty sure you should get at least 7h of sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] GeekyNitz:
Here's mine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
It's a snapdragon, since the active is an At&t exclusive.

All the time flight mode and WiFi, using WhatsApp, chrome and some news Apps most of time. Also listening to deezer 1-2 hours through headphones .

No GPS, sync on (E-Mail, Dropbox and a few news apps) and max 50% Auto brightness.

Usual stats? Or what would you say guys?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
You are using s7 edge , right?

I am also getting 5-6 h and sometimes 6.5 h of sot on my flat s7 exynos, but my android system has never used more than 20% of my battery. Whats your standby time?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] müller_25:
Yeah, I'm using the edge version.

My usual standby time is about 8-12h, varying from day to day. So it's 14-18 on battery.

I'm also wondering about the high Android OS battery drain.

By the way, gsam monitor shows me just 10-14% usage by the Android OS.

Actually fairly impressed by this, but can't push it any further. 4h SOT over a 21h day is the MOST I've been able to manage on my Exynos S7, never more. Nothing can change that: not factory resets, not Greenify, not any other apps. AOD off, Wi-Fi from 4pm onwards, mobile data from 7.30am to 4pm. Location high accuracy, power saving on from 7.30am to 4pm as well. Auto brightness on, nearby device scanning and Wi-fi/Bluetooth location off.

Hey guys, just got my S7 edge on Verizon two days ago. My first full charged lasted about 3.5 hours and, judging from my current battery life right now, it seems like I'll only barely reach 4 hours. Do I have a defective unit or is this normal? Does the battery life get better after more usage over the next few days?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Us3rNam3d:
Your battery should get better , but not by much. Since you are on verizon , your s7 is the snapdragon one and its battery life i known to be inferior to the exynos one. But compared to the other snapdragon variants, yours is so far normal, considering your device is new.

S7 FLAT, exynos, Brazil (ZTO rom)... 30-40% brightness, 4g all the time, used spotify for 2-3 hours and played pokemon go for 20 minutes, the rest I used Facebook and Instagram mostly. I'm not satisfied with sot...I saw a lot of ppl with the same model of s7 (exynos) and are getting way more sot than me... I read that sometime reseting to default should help...So did I, but got the same 4 hours of SOT...Any tips?

^^ Probably need more posts before you can post images

Use the direct link but with hxxp
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Well first of all the Facebook app is known for draining the battery. Now on Spotify on 4G I have around 5% battery loss per hour, so 15% from spotify and at least 7% from Pokemon is 22%, plus the remaining 14% equals 36%. So I'm pretty sure you could get easily 1,5 more hour, more than what snapdragon users get on WiFi lol :p.

This cannot be real :D.. what's the secret?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
It's real lol

No secret, I used package manager pro to disable KNOX and other useless stuff, and I turned AOD off

Used the smart manager app section to turn everything to always power save apart from things I need notifications from like email and whatsapp etc

Now the phone enters Dose correctly, and battery life has improved massively

Always had good battery life with my S5, didn't see any reason why a phone with a higher capacity battery shouldn't do even better running the same version of Android

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Thank you, so mostly WhatsApp?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] rxil:
What apps do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Yea well this was mainly a SoT test, so didn't do much other than WhatsApp and text/call/email/twitter and take a few photos

I watched a couple of short videos, had 5 minutes with a VR app for Cardboard, but other than that, yea this was mainly just WhatsApp to keep the screen on, or leaving it sitting with the screen on while I was waiting for a reply

Only had the phone 3-4 days, so haven't loaded it up with much yet, but I mainly use my phones for the camera, whatsapp, email/text/calls, I always install a few games, and some techy news apps, XDAs app, stuff like that

When I'm out I'll use the browser / maps, nothing really heavy unless I find a new game that I get into for a while
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
You know that's not a real test as you can get for example 15 hours SOT just by looking at a black pic with everything turnt off and at airplane mode. Also many people read this and wonder why they can't get 8,30 hours or people that wanna buy the phone thinking they will be able to achieve that SOT.

I do wanna see what SOT you will achieve with normal use tho.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Of course it's a real test, the screen was on, and I was using the phone, I was seeing how long it would last with medium usage and the screen on for as long as possible

This is my main/only phone, so I have to use it during tests

Bear in mind this is coming up to 2 full days on battery also, if I just wanted to do a pure SoT test, I could achieve way longer if I didn't also leave it on battery for 2 days, just turned on the screen and left it, but that would be pointless

Too many variables to please everyone, and the test was for myself not anyone else

For example, the same test with my S5 resulted in 5-6 hours tops doing the same thing, so I have a benchmark to compare to

And tbh, I was using the phone normally, the way I use it, the only major difference was I didn't turn off the screen when I wasn't using it

People can get 8-9 hours SoT with normal usage, if their normal usage is the same as mine, and they have set up their phones exactly the same way, which is impossible, so it would be stupid for anyone to look at my SoT and assume everyone can get that

But by all means, show me your 15 hours SoT by doing that :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
I don't know why you got offended, this thread is not a SOT competition, people are supposed to post their SOT with normal usage (kinda hard since not everyone use their phones the same way). But leaving the screen on doing nothing its almost curtain it will get you massive SOT.

Now I wouldn't mind if you were making clear that you intentionally leave the screen doing nothing in the first post among with the screenshot that was showing that you had 5 hours SOT with 50% left.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] *Detection*:
Not particularly concerned with what you think, this is a SoT thread, I'm posting my best SoT, I don't see a rules section in the OP saying you have to turn off your screen when you're not using the phone

No it's not a competition, but people are posting their best times, as am I

If you're getting salty and butt hurt, leave the thread ;)

I posted my screens, people asked me my usage, I told them

Anyway, last screen, hit 9 hours, going to drain to 1% again then charge up, done my test, I know my phones battery life fairly well now to know how long I can be without a charger, which was the main point of this
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Real Life Review] Travis Bickle:
Like I said its misleading posting screenshots saying you got 5 hours SOT with 50% left and not mentioning that you were leaving the screen on without using the phone just so you can get massive SOT. And I think I said it in a nice way and I didn't attack you so its not that nice to call me such things.
