I installed it 2 days ago, in order to find what has been dranining battery, so the problem started way before I installed that app. In fact, I've uninstalled it after taking the screenshots because it's a complete garbage tbh. The only useful side is that it shows the "drain while the screen is off", which is an evidence of how severe the problem is.

Whats the SOT I can get in Lineage OS? If I care about SOT is it worth moving to Lineage from Stock? I just got the phone and can't wait to set it up.

Stay on stock if you want max battery life.Custom ROM's tend to have slightly better or worse battery life than stock.

I just want to point out, be careful if you get this phone, because once you experience a battery like this...you are never going to get used to any other phone in the world. IM SERIOUS.I can't believe this "midrange device" is faster than my Galaxy S7(TouchWiz is ridiculously slow)..I returned the S7, miss the godly camera though.. The screen is bigger and the AMOLED is beautiful... 8-10 hours of screen on time LTE wifi without battery saver enabled on a used Verizon unlocked phone..... Yeah I'm not upgrading to any phone until moto z play 3. I bought the phone because of this thread, and now that I'm here, PLEASE BUY THIS PHONE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE MISSING LOL. Gaming performance is phenomenal! Camera is awesome!(nowhere near S7 though) And did I mention relaxing, eating a cheesesteak with fries and gaming on the laptop while the JBL sound boost moto z plays my favorite music.. yo I'm gonna a make a review soon, though I'm not sure If anyone would want to see it. I can't contain my love for this phone.

I mean I think the MZP's camera is at best sub par to flagships. Of course this phone isnt a flagship phone but the camera isnt great. Low light shots have so much noise its crazy. If the MZP had a dual set up with OIS and EIS i believe it could change the game for mid range phones. I mean the X4 is out ,but I'm more than confident to say that its battery life is nothing compared to the might MZP.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] DreamTek:
This phone is a gift from god, but I agree 100%. Camera is decent in daytime. Below average at night. Galaxy S7 camera

is still the most phenomenal camera I have ever used. I swear some of the daytime footage mirrored my friend's Nikon D3400. LOL. That being said though, Moto Z play 2 seems absolutely terrible. I thought in the second version.. they would shock us all and go for the 5000mah, which the legendary Lenovo P2 has, and wow is it godly. But instead, they went even lower back to 3000mah.... The Lenovo P2 is not even available in the USA. So Motorola could have had a premium battery flagship king of the USA... bad decision from motorola...even more now that i realize that lenovo owns a huge part of motorola mobile division... Wow Lenovo how did you mess this up? Lol.

I still love this phone, on wifi something about 10 hours SoT for 2 days, on LTE it's not as great as on wifi, but still i can get 2 days with something about 5, 6 h SoT with maybe 6, 7 hours listening music. And no lags

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack Sparrow xda:
What about the life cycle (age) of the battery?

Not talking about the charge - discharge cycles, but talking about longetivity in years before the battery performance starts degrading.

I have Moto X 2nd gen bought in dec 2014. Hasn't completed 2 years but I have started feeling the battery performance, which already was average at its best has degraded more in recent months despite of following ideal battery charge-discharge practices and never used quick charger.

Earlier Motorola batteries used to be long lastung. I have 4-5 years old Atrix2 which still serving fine. I feel they are not using good quality batteries these days and things may go down further with the new Chinese parent Lenovo. Risks of shorter life spans are further increased with the turbo chargers supplied by default these days.

Ideally battery should last for atleast 3-4 years which is ideal life cycle of a phone.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] benjamminh:
I think quick charging degrades batteries over time.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] FreedFromDeath:
All batteries degrade over time.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack Sparrow xda:
But the time should be justified. 3-4 years is ideal and less than 2 years is not acceptable.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] coolkingler1:
Uhm, 2 years should be ideal, the general consensus is that you replace your phone every 2 years. :P
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] benjamminh:
Sigh. I'm sorry for the lack of precision in my language. I believe that fast charging degrades batteries faster than "regular" charging because of the heat generated. I will say the Z Force (presumably all the Zs) charges cooler than the MXPE of last year.

Usage - {Brightness 40%}

Installed 25-30 apps, games from Playstore

~40 minutes Music Streaming

~1 hour YouTube

Twitter/Hangout ~ 1 hour

~2 hours played Talking tom gold run

7-8 hours of fanfiction reading, web browsing etc.

Charging took exact 120 minutes and the max temperature reached 38° while gaming and 40° while charging which is quite good considering my g4 plus reaches 46°..

Half way through my first day and at 70% with 2h 20m of SOT. On my Note 5, I would have been at 50% by now easily. Will take it down to the end of the day and then post back numbers.

My battery report

I got the device mid day of the 20th, i charged it full then and did not again charge it until again the mid day of today. So overall about 48Hrs of run time.

During this time i had to setup up the device, download all the apps, setup all the apps, everything twice might i add. After that i mostly surfed and played a little. Gotta say the device exceeded my initial expectations.

Also the graph is missing a a few hours of standby and maybe 2 to 2.30Hrs of SOT on account of me unlocking the bootloader.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] emailrob:
I got 3h 30 SOT minutes yesterday and still had 48% left. Google now, location , mostly on lte.

I came from a Note 5 which would barely get 3.5 h over a full day! I can totally deal with some small compromises given the battery life. Last night I didn't even charge it, and it only lost 1% battery overnight.

When I add the case for business trips it'll be even better.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Cycloneon:
Last charge time was 8PM 20nd, it is midnight on the 23rd. Reached 6 hours of SOT by the time it hit 30%

I didn't even charge it the other night. Crazy town.

I was on wifi 70% yesterday, I finished the day on 48% after over 4 hours of SOT. That would have had me on target for over 8 hours.

Brightness around 40%, which is way bright enough for me.

My Note 5 would have had me at 3h30 if I was lucky. By end of day!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] coolkingler1:
Yeah, this battery is really something else. 1:30 at night off the charger, nothing on when sleeping but when awake I had 4g on all the time. It's now almost 9 o clock in the evening and I am on exactly 70% after a lot of apping, 2+ hours on screen, phone call here or there, browsing on the web etc.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack Sparrow xda:
Its not only the battery, but the highly efficient 625 SoT also deserves equal credit.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] emailrob:
I did some testing yesterday and today on the Incipio case. Results were great, but a little hard to quantify.

- I had the case and phone fully charged yesterday and took it off charger at 5:30am.

- I had the case on efficiency mode, meaning it will only start to recharge the phone battery once the phone gets to 80%. True it its word, that's what it did.

- Once the phone got to 80% the case kicked in. The curious part is when using the case battery the SOT is frozen in time - it stayed at 2h 15 minutes all day long and never changed.

- When I went to sleep (probably after around 6h SOT I would estimate, maybe a little more), the case was on 20%. When I woke up today, it was on zero and the internal battery at 79%.

So it looks like the case lasted all day and most of the night. This is great!

Now I have the phone at around 75% which is more that enough to get me through the day.

[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Clyzm:
I haven't been able to kill it in a day. I end my days with 5 hours of SoT and about 50% remaining. My typical usage is about 2 hours listening to bluetooth music in the car, 2-3 hours listening to music off headphones, messaging, YouTube, various games and game emulators, heavy camera use.

Basically, I finally feel comfortable just using the **** out of my phone and not worrying about battery life. I treat it like I can get one insanely heavy day out of it even though in reality it can probably last me 2.

The battery life is intense!
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] arides:
Pretty good battery!

Got my Moto Z Play yesterday, charged the battery to 100% and turned it on 10pm (until now). The screen wasn't in maximum brightness, but wasn't lowest either, wifi on all the time, sometimes 4G and i was downloading apps and syncing all my stuff and getting to know the phone, using it heavily until 3am.

Considering the reception in my room is terrible (where the phone was until 10am today), it's supposed to drain more battery but it's been holding up pretty neatly. Also I've got a lot of draining battery apps, that keep running on the background, switched the home to Google Now Launcher, installed Google Keep, Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Spotify, Gmail etc (the usual everyone else has).

Updates on the Battery after first charge

Last I've charged the battery to 100% was Friday, the 28th, around 6pm. I'm just having to charge it again now, Monday, the 31st, almost 1am :)

1 Day 22h (46h) without plugging it to the wall, and more than 8 hours of SOT

View attachment 3921248 View attachment 3921249

I'll have to admit that the Cellular Network Signal bar made me remember my that my room has poor reception (hence the red, orange and yellow colors most of the time), draining more battery than necessary, so I turned on Airplane Mode (at weekends I don't receive calls at all, so it wasn't logic leaving the battery draining for nothing). Too bad I remembered it only halfway through the battery, otherwise I'd have gotten more than 46h.

View attachment 3921250

When it got to 25% (12pm Sunday) I turned on Battery Saver and I've found it's amazing, as the battery just got to 3% more than 12 hours later, 1 am Monday, and the whole time I was using the phone, installing apps, answering messages, with the Wifi on (all the 46h, since Friday).

I decided to turn off Battery Saver when it got to 10% to see its beahvior, and the battery drained faster than I expected (the red mark below is the exact time Battery Save was turned off and the battery started dropping perceptibly, not a disaster, but I hoped it'd hold a little more)

View attachment 3921251

My phone got all the animations turned off (except the Animator Duration Scale, at .5x, the minimum necessary to have all the animations off, but still have Moto Display working), I also disabled all the apps I can't uninstall, don't have Facebook installed, got the Messenger Lite, and the rest is the trivial social and email apps, Idk if the battery can get better results, but I'll keep a closer look on it.

I'll still test the Airplane Mode whenever I'm in a place with poor reception and, just for the sake of curiosity, keep Battery Saver on after a full charge to see how this phone goes, even if it won't be the way I'll normally it.

Aside these tests and perceptions, the battery is amazing, unparalleled with any phone I've ever owned or seen around.

Future updates will come soon! =)

Cheers!

Mother of Battery Performance

This phone has exceeded my expectations about battery time extremely well

m regularly charging this phone on every alternate day with 100% confidence & it has never let me down so far

due to diwali holidays nowadays here in india, i was only on wifi since friday eve & battery figures are extremely impressive

100% charged & unplugged at 11:30pm on 28th Oct 2016

now put on charging at 5% on 31st Oct 2016 at 11:30am

That's 60Hrs of Battery use on single charge

To compare it with my spare Moto G3

It's now 14.5 months old

with same usage on working day

unplugging it at 100% at 7am, it goes down to 15~20% by 5pm, where this Moto Z Play stands with 65~70% juice at the end of the day at 10pm.

this is one of its kind of experience to charge phone every alternate day with lots of confidence & faith, & moto z play wont let you down for sure.

as far as charging time is concern, from 4~5% to 100% takes 1:40~1:45Hrs with provided 15W turbo charger in the box
