I don't see how you can judge a particular product's effectiveness by the demonstration of a different one.

...the flexible glass in the video explicitly advertizes 9H hardness (visible on the box, if you pay attention), whereas the Brotect one avoids any mention of hardness measurement whatsoever...I wonder why.

As I said, I owned Brotect Airglass for one of my tablets and I wouldn't trust it to protect the smartphone screen in the case of a drop.

In the video, of course, all three product did their job, with regard to the impact test...the underlying glass surface did not break, whether the screen protector breaks or not is a different matter.

...in many cases, e.g. of NO 9h hardness, the screen protector being flexible might be a disadvantage, as it will allow the impacting force to be transferred to the surface below it...

..the glass breaking there is not a bad thing, it's a good thing, as it absorbed the impact and broke, not allowing any bending to occur and force transferred beyond it.
[Honor 8 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
You're right, it doesn't advertise a harness rating, but my main point is that flexible glass in general appears to have adequate impact protection as demonstrated on the video. And yes, the glass underneath the middle PET protector did break.
[Honor 8 Accessories] Ihaveatattoo:
I know this thread is about glass but I've bought this Nillkin PET protector for both screen and back and it's so thick it almost feels like glass although I don't expect it to provide any protection if you drop your phone face down. Despite that, it fits really well, almost edge to edge over the lcd with no "side effects" plus it feels so smooth to the touch you just want to keep sliding across your screen!

is BROTECT anti finger print? i know it stated in their page anti finger print, just want to ask anyone can confirm that?
[Honor 8 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Yes, but it becomes less effective after a few months. They all do though.
[Honor 8 Accessories] tiguy99:
What case do you have?!
[Honor 8 Accessories] dvadvadva:
The one in the pictures is nillkin clear case.

But i wouldn't recommand it because it turned yellow real quick.

Now I'm rocking spigen liquid cristal.
[Honor 8 Accessories] mrobo:
I have it too, but it is not perfect.
[Honor 8 Accessories] nestojean:
Its the best Honor 8 screen protector period!

It fits perfectly and is 100% transparent.

I recommend it anytime anyday!
[Honor 8 Accessories] PalakMi:
The best one is from Nillkin
[Honor 8 Accessories] Days Tech:
I have noticed a bit of a gap being left behind the screen and the protector with all tempered glass ones because of the curved screen. This allows some dirt to get in between.

7 hours of screen on time with 10 percent battery lef. I'm satisfied
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] van131:
Same here. But when i finished installing it, I fully charged it around 9pm last night and it just went to 10% today at 1pm
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZiprLips:
I'm at 4h 40m screen on time, with 36% left in the tank. I put the mid batt saver on at 65%. At this point I'm pretty impressed.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZiprLips:
The battery is downright impressive!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jamezr:
Wow that is impressive! I have the Snapdragon US model and have only gotten about 4.5 average so far.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] 2015Dthomp1:
Yea I don't know what happen but my last 2 charges after that has been around 5 hrs max. I didn't do anything different. But I'm still satisfied with 5 hrs SOT
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ZiprLips:
One thing that isn't mentioned enough is battery maintenance and care. A carefully maintained battery will last longer, and store more energy, therefore providing more time between charges. I have a lot of knowledge about lithium based batteries in the hobby grade Radio control models. I have been maintaining lithium polymer and lithium ion cells for about a decade. So I would like to compile some tips for everyone.

1) Heat. Heat causes the most damage to lithium based batteries. Leaving your phone in direct sunlight, as most of us know can cause your device to catch fire, or even explode. Water is useless in extinguishing a lithium fire. Lithium cells will burn under water. This isn't new info to most of us, but I mention heat mainly for these reasons;

A) rapid charging causes increased heat in the cell. This increased heat degrades the cell, causing reduced cycle life. This is significantly more concerning on modern phones without removable or replaceable cells. Therefore you should avoid rapid charging unless it's absolutely necessary. Especially overnight. If your sleeping then there's no reason to rapid charge.

2) Voltages. Voltages are also very important, but since these are managed automatically you don't need to be overly concerned about them.

A) 3.0v this is the minimum voltage at which your charger will still recharge the cell. Most phones will shut off at 3.3v or 3.2v. This is your 0% charge level. The reason this is significant is that once your phone shuts down from a dead battery it is important to recharge it within a reasonable timeframe. It may take a week or 2 for the cell to drop those last few tenths of a volt, but once it does it's over.

That said, it is good to completely drain your battery occasionally because this helps the OS calibrate a more accurate battery charge percentage.

B) 4.2v is fully charged. This is your 100% charge level.

C) 3.7v is the best voltage for cell storage. This is approximately 50% charge. That is why your phone is usually about half charged when it is unboxed. (But who stores their phone lol)

So the important takeaway from all of this is, avoid rapid charging when you can, and once your phone dies, recharge it soon after. -Chris

Not bad. Got me through the day. ~4 hrs sot
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] UniX1rm:
Too early to tell. I had like 3.30 SOT. After a couple of charge cycles it's getting interesting.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] draztikrhymez:
So far averaging 19 hours battery with around 2 1/2 hours screen on
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killemalll:
I went through 16 hrs of my average use and had 39% battery left before calling it a day. That's at least 30% more than what I was squeezing out my Note 4 on 6.0.1. Idling overnight for 7 hrs the battery went down only 4%.

I'm really impressed so far!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
People getting 6+ hours SOT, can you let us know what your setup is like? Are you disabling stuff? Running dark theme?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killemalll:
If the question is for me....yeah, Material Dark Theme. Nova Launcher, no stuff disabled (Wi-FI/Loc/BT etc.). No app power saving. Hi resolution. I run "Optimize" once in the Device Maintenance menu.

I'll post a stats screenshot at the end of the day
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowleopard1900:
I don't really trust any battery benchmarks right now..... the phones are all brand new...... lets all wait about 12 months and re-check them; While compared to the Note 3 my Note 7 replaced I am generally happy with the upgrade to the Note 7, the sealed battery is really pissing me off. I was using the Zero Lemon 10,000 mah batteries on the Note 3. I can almost gamble that the battery in the Note 7 will be useless in 12-24 months depending on usage and then we are stuck with $800 bricks unless someone figures out how to safely open the phone so we can replace the battery on our own.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoggles:
Yesterday I had 7.2 hours of SOT. First few days were a little less, due to initial geek out, setup, testing. Seems on par with the my Note 5 and S7e.

What this shows me, is that I need to spend much less time in front of a phone's display....

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------

For how I use the phone, I can easily get over 7 hours SOT....with 10% or more left. Yeah... I disable all the Sammy/Tmo bloatware I can....as well as Lookout, Android Pay, Facebook stuff...and a few others. I always use Nova 3.3 (the last before they switched to the horrible white themes of LP & MM) and I've been using a minimal black theme from the Sammy store, that has the color rings around some icons. Love it. I don't use auto brightness...and normally have it about 30-40%. I also don't ever use NFC, so it's disabled. I rarely use bluetooth....and i don't do any gaming really. I imagine if you're doing those things...battery life will suffer a bit.

Though I definitely think it helps to have an all black theme going. Settings, dialer, app drawer....solid black. And don't have the screen too bright of course.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] nazzo123:
I don't know how good or bad it will be but in my opinnion it's going to be average and its a note so i'll be using the phone a lot. I just bought the wireless charging case from the T-Mobile store i work at :D My coral blue comes tomorrow !!!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] shahrozh:
Umm so basically you just use it to browse and send emails etc?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoggles:
That and a lot of pics and video...and this may sound crazy, but I actually use it as a phone too ;) During hikes and bike rides, I use it as a fitness/gps tracker....and I stream a bunch to Chromecast/TV. Battery drain is amazingly low while streaming to Chromecast.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
Android system screwed me today
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] clovis_ll:
I'm happy so far...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] dirtymindedx:
Using this setting I get a little more time with the battery and it doesn't affect all my apps. The only thing you can't use is blue light filter but that's all atleast for me.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] bschucher:
I got all of 3.5 hours of SOT and was at 15%. I don't know how people are getting this kind of life from their devices..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Hoggles:
Yeah, it just depends on how ya use it. Though keep in mind, you could easily get another hour of SOT, with that remaining 15% you had ;) As you saw from my previous posts... I don't game at all on it, I don't do any streaming, except for Chromecast stuff. Only use Bluetooth, once in a blue moon ;) and I always have my brightness manually set to about 30-40% (sometimes down to about 10-20% indoors. I also disable as much bloat as possible.

So for mainly web browsing, emails, text, calls, pics & vids, Chromecast streaming...it's easy to get 6-7hrs of SOT. For me at least. And that was just about the same for my Note 5 & S7e.

I don't come anywhere near 6-7 hours of SOT now, simply because I'm not using it nearly as much as the first few days, during the geekout/freakout phase ;)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rodnii:
Here's mine for today. I have good signal most of the day when I'm out for work and wherever. The signal is only low when I'm at home, but then I'm on wifi all the time.

Web browsing, several calls, camera on occasion, used a Spanish learning app today, FB and Messenger, Instagram, emails and most Google services synching, KakaoTalk, some music during my drive around town.

Bluetooth and GPS are always on. NFC off because Samsung Pay temporarily turns it on when I need it anyway.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rydah:
My battery life on this thing is horrible. I'm not complaining, this is probably completely fixable and i have charging cables everywhere but yeah. My S7 Edge lasted all day... I'm barely surviving 5 hours for now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] parusia:
I'm very happy with my battery life. Been like this for the past 6 days.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Killemalll:
Yep. Not complaining :)
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Snowleopard1900:
For me, I don't look at it the same way as most. The way I look at it is, with "heavy" use and by heavy, I mean a few phone calls, some camera useage, a couple of games, maybe a video or 2 on a normal work day 3500mah will get me 4 hours max or actual battery life. If all I do is phone calls and text messages then 3500 mah will get me 2-3 days. I want a battery that needs charging of any kind 1 time a week under "heavy" usage. So that puts me at a bare minimum of 10,000 mah or closer too 20,000 mah a week of power use from a battery.

Minor improvements to the OS (in this case Android) is not going to make a 3500 mah battery magically provide 20,000 mah of power. Coupling that with the fact that 3000-4000 mah has been the "standard: battery in the last 4-6 generations of Samsung phones tell me that they have not "improved" their battery life at all in the last 5-7 years. To top it off, the battery is sealed in the phone now. I will be looking for all the "brick: threads in about 24 months because the battery fails. :D
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ElBeaner:
Today has been my best day so far. I'm at 3hr 10min sot @ 31% left. Once doze started putting apps to sleep it got better.

And that is with Bluetooth on and connected to my moto 360 at all times.

Easily get through a day and home and if I need to I can bump charge until I go to bed.

I had an S7 before and with my usage it would be well under 10% before 5pm so this is definitely better.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiffany84:
I'm in the same boat. I keep seeing people talk about great battery life but I'm not seeing it. Maybe my device is defective, who knows. What I do know is, as of right now, my S7 Edge has much better battery life.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] msage:
My wife and I had awful battery life on our s7 edges no matter what I tried to adjust/disable. So far our Note 7s are just as bad. So pissed. I had the Note 2,3,4 and had pretty great battery life so it's been disappointing that my last two galaxy's have been so inefficient.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] jason504:
I will post tonight. But my battery life has been not great. But I do keep my screen a little past half way. So I can't expect the best. I just love how crisp and bright the screen is. This is the first phone I can go in the sun and see my phone good. I did disable a bunch of apps last night so we will see today if I can get 4hr of OST I will be happy.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] DVS_Sokar:
I always punish my new phones. All wireless on connected and all the apps I use running in background. As of right now my battery makes it from 6:30am to about 7pm in the evening at around 17% remaining. Conditioning may help but optimization at this point will get it through the day on a stock build nothing disabled.

So, I have been struggling with the battery as well, talked to Samsung support for quite a few days and after a couple of resets, I got this weird battery drain yesterday it is a 10218 drain. Does not look like the Android OS or Android systems because they were both in the list. Anyone had the same issue or knows about this ?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aznmode:
After factory reset and not let it report to Google and did not let it sync from a previous device during set up. Started from scratch. Did not install most of 3rd apps from play store and will install as I need them. But it did install the rest of Samsung apps after I logged in to my Samsung account to use my bought theme. Also restored texts, settings, images, videos, documents from a smart switch back via sd card on this note 7 before I factory reset. 7 hour sleep drained about 4%.

1st day

2nd day (today) so far

Update
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] doubledragon:
Today was first day I wasn't fussing with it non-stop (got it Tuesday) and I'm pretty happy with performance today. Unplugged it around 9:30am and it was a light weekend usage day, but got a little over 3 hours SOT over 12 hours unplugged and have 45% left. And I was in an area with 1-2 bars of edge signal for a good 4 hours or so and that usually kills my battery.

Edit: forgot to mention I'm not sure how system and kernel are reporting those amounts of CPU minutes based on that SOT reported.

This is about average for me everyday
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Stixxbixby:
Using Package Disabler Pro w/approx. 125 apps disabled/WiFi most of the time/Dark theme/Airplane mode at night/Location services off/Sync 2 email accounts as needed/Auto brightness. Reduced screen resolution to 1080p at about 50% as an experiment, but no other battery saving settings.

No gaming. Lots of internet, YouTube, social media (no fb app, I use internet), & a alot of media consumption, etc...

I typically get about 6 - 8 hours with the aforementioned setup. Almost as good as my S7 edge...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Compusmurf:
I use the crap out of my phone, BT, WIFI, location, NFC, auto brightness, several hours of calls during each work day, messages, as items arrive email sync, txting, news, weather, youtube, tons of gaming, breaking news and weather alerts, facebook, all day syncing of Gear watch, Shealth, quick as possible widget updates and the Good packages for work email and IM. Over 200 different apps installed, plus I have the VR headset.

I don't expect great battery life as I'm really hard on it, but I can say it's been better than I expected. Better than my Note 5 was.

I did disable "some" carrier crap but I didn't go crazy like some folks. I don't shoot for SOT records or longest battery life as there's always someplace I can plug in. I expect a usable device with updated and accurate information the moment I go seeking it.

I do use Nova Prime as it gives me the space and customization for all the crap I look at, use, or take note of on a daily basis. I also use Tasker to create better profiles of what is enabled at what time or location as well.

I am going to keep using and abusing it until, well, the Note 8 comes along, then I'll be just as abusive to it as well!

No, something is wrong! If a factory reset doesn't fix it, take it back!
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
This is where I am at today, which is an improvement already from yesterday before I took some measures.

EDIT: Trying to avoid doing the factory reset myself, lol! I turned off all reporting to Samsung, T-Mobile, and Google. I disabled notifications for a whole slew of apps that I didn't need to be notified about. I froze some apps using the pro app something or another, plus I put a lot of apps on a sleep list using in house Samsung settings. Messenger is handled by Greenify, but it always wakes itself back up and has to be put to sleep manually. It might make more sense to use Samsung settings to just sleep that one too!

You might want to think about the factory reset... Im consistently getting around 8-9 hours of screen on time. and thats with me not charging it overnight and watching/casting youtube whenever the screen is on.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] blakedunc235:
So this is about what I'm getting and the packages that I disabled. I don't see a reason to disable more honestly. The factory reset was definitely worth it. Just about doubled my screen on time.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] blakedunc235:
Now I do have medium battery saver on but only because I dont like how bright the screen gets so i have it set to the 80% and I dont like the soft keys being backlit as well. But I have everything else the same as stock ie the resolution, performance, and background network usage. Even still I dont feel like having battery saver on does too much other than adding like an hour of total time on.
