I've been getting around 4-5 hours SOT pretty consistently with my PixelXL. Not a bad battery life by any means but really curious why I'm not getting the awesome 7-9 hours SOT I'm seeing elsewhere.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Thrillhouse847:
This is with lots of web browsing, email/texts and some video and music streaming. Still haven't hit that 8 hour mark but pretty close.

I think I have good coverage most places where I live (Chicago).
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] AndrasLOHF:
I haven't, and don't plan on letting the phone go to zero yet but checking at 75, 50, and 25% shows me averaging 6 1/2 hours SOT. It could even be higher because my home gets zero signal for Project Fi. On my 6P I would be lucky to get 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the same time frame.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] king_dani:
Curious to know whether you had LTE on during this test, as your screenshots appear to show you didn't
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Thrillhouse847:
When I'm in my apartment I turn it off and just use WiFi but the rest of the time it's on. So probably about 60/40 WiFi/LTE.

Great Battery Life/SOT here!

I unplugged my phone at 100% around 1am the night before, hung out for a bit and fell asleep.

Woke up around 6 hours later at 97%. Used the phone the rest of the day with no holds barred.

No battery saving tricks at all...

Location on with high accuracy

Screen brightness at 50% with adaptive, which is plenty bright imo

Bluetooth on

Mostly LTE, maybe 25% wifi.

"OK Google" voice detection on, even from standby.

Live wallpaper

I watched a ton of youtube, played some games, a bunch of facebook, while almost the whole day the phone was playing music paired to either my Sony MDR-1000x, or my car.

I also run a youtube channel, OMGadgets, and i used the phone this day to take pics/vids for an upcoming comparison video against the iPhone 7, and also used it to launch a bunch of games and apps for an upcoming speed and ram management test against the iphone 7.

Also rebooted it a couple of times during the day.

I have to say, 5 hours of SOT in 21 hours of a very heavy use day is impressive AF. I have read some pretty mixed battery reviews.... but the one I have seems to be on point.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] am1640:
screen at 50% with adaptive on, location with high accuracy, mainly browsing web, youtube, instagram, reading emails and texting. Granted 75% off time I was connected to wifi but this is easily the best out of box battery experience from an Android phone I've ever had
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sfetaz:
Just hit 5 hours of screen on time for my first time in years. Unplugged at 100%, brightness at 50% with adaptive, 2 and half hours of driving with Bluetooth audio connected playing podcasts, Google maps active the whole time. About 3.5 hours wifi usage. Definitely getting way more battery life than reviews led me to expect.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] LOGMD:
I tend to hammer my battery pretty hard.

- 30 mins YouTube in the morning

- 30 minute offline video (amazon video) on the way to work (+

- 5hrs offline music via Bluetooth

- 30 minute offline video on the way back from work

- 30 mins of offline music via bluetooth etc while I walk home etc

Bluetooth and WiFi always on, WiFi was on full accuracy (now changed to battery save)

However I do find it to be inconsistent lately getting android system drain (around 15%)

In all honesty im sure they both have great battery life but since the XL has a bigger battery ill assume that is the better choice to go for.

After reading all of you guys replies I am listing my iPhone 6S Plus and Oneplus 3 on ebay to purchase the Pixel XL at bestbuy today! So excited to be rocking a

Google phone. Last "Google phone" I owned was the Nexus 5 and I loved how I always almost several times a week there was an update especially when the market for

ROMs and nightlies opens up. This phone is just going to get better with ROMs coming out soon! :highfive:

on a side note: does anyone here that has the Pixel run any battery saving apps ? Not that you need it but just curious
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] thakilleffect:
So far so good. This is day 3 with pixel xl on Verizon. I've been on LTE 100% of the time. I'm satisfied right about now
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Juzman:
I'm currently at 20% - 5h 35m screen time. Phone has been off charge for over 22 hours. Was only on WiFI for half of that, rest was 4G/LTE. 42 minute phone call, watched a few clips on YouTube, some FB and Messenger chat, Telegram and XDA. Bit of browsing, updating apps.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] schwem:
Yeah I've had my Pixel XL on Verizon since 10/20 and haven't gotten less than 5.5 hrs screen on time and that's even with watching videos for 4 of those hours. Best phone ever made hands down. No regrets here and will be getting the next iteration of Pixel as well. I just hope the next round has a 5.7" to 6.0" screen and smaller chin. Oh, and front facing stereo speakers. That would be perfect.

Pixel XL Battery Life and SOT

Greetings,

My Pixel XL battery life has been excellent since I purchased it four days ago. Today's usage has been internet browsing, some music, and flirting with Google Assistant. Phone screen brightness stayed about 35% of max all day, wifi was connected all day, and bluetooth was connected for maybe one hour.

Sorry for not having pictures, being a new user precludes me from posting a URL in my reply.

15 hours ago it was at 100%, now we are at 16% with "approximately" 3 hours left.

SOT is 7 hours 18 min, computed power use 1031 mAh
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] SystemErrorOne:
Thanks for the info! Welcome to XDA :)

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] AhsanU:
Battery life has been great thus far for me. Yesterday, I got 6 hours of screen on time with moderate to heavy use. I was on Google duo for a while with my wife, use Google navigation for 15 minutes, played music via Bluetooth, etc. So I expect an easy 6.5 to 7 hours of SoT if I don't do anything intensive like webcam.View attachment 3943183View attachment 3943184

Not too bad, this was my first day with a full charge coming off a light weekend and casual day at work.

Finally an Android phone I can proudly tell people the battery is amazing. I don't feel the need to preserve battery throughout the day.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] waitinonanoob10:
The screen on time and battery life is absolutely amazing on both the standard Pixel, and the XL. I have the XL, and while I was in Dallas last weekend, my Pixel XL had location, Bluetooth, constant connection to 4G LTE, taking photos and videos, using all my messaging apps, and it was for about 12 hours and I had around 15% by the end of the day.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sr20s13:
How do you people get those SOT numbers, my battery life it about the same as my Nexus 6. It might be my signal black hole of death at work that goes from LTE to 3G all day. But even at home it's not that good, but I'm definitely more comfortable the with my n6 without charging all day.

Google services

This has been draining my battery a lot. Did all the trouble shooting like clearing data in google play services, google play store, updating to the latest security patch, updated all apps, i went ahead and and did a FDR too, but still no avail. I got in touch with google, the representatives state that this is normal. This is really disappointing. I dont wanna install any custom rom or kernel since that is what i normally first do when i get a nexus:D , this being a pixel i wanna leave it stock. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you.

Ps: am not able to upload the battery stat pic from my pc, i'm not finding an option at all.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] onedementedsmurf:
I am truly impressed with the battery life on my Pixel XL! I was emulating PSP with Bluetooth controller and headphones for the majority of my SOT. I'd say that's fairly heavy use lol

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] lifexlec:
After having two dud Pixels in terms of battery life I decided to get the Pixel XL (32 GB). The first 5 days were okay - I could manage 3-5 hours SOT.

I noticed that the Cellular Network Signal bar was mostly dark orange and yellow and very little green which I think drains the battery faster. I decided to turn off my data while I was connected to WiFi at home and at school and turn on Data Saver for good measure. Yesterday I got 7 hrs 40 minutes of SOT and was at 15% battery life. (Couple hours of YouTube, few hours of general browsing, using Microsoft PowerPoint, over an hour of Spotify (downloaded not streaming), GPS and Google Maps used for 40 + minutes.

What I found is the Cellular Network Signal was now about 60% of the time in the green vs before when I had data switched on and it had barely any green in the bar. Now I actually believe that people can get 8 hours SOT with the Pixel XL. :)
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Mihail96:
I read here that the power consumption of Android system should be more than that of Android OS, and that's not the case with my Pixel XL. Every time the latter exceeds the consumption of Android system. Any idea what's going on?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] codya321:
Normal use over the course of 2 days, screen 35% brightness, wifi always on, Bluetooth on when streaming audio in car. 100% stock. I normally only get about 4 to 4.5 hours of screen on time, which I've been totally happy with. But this let charge deserved a post!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] rickysidhu_:
I only get about 4.5 hours of SOT :( On my Nexus 6P, I used to get 6+ hours :/ My usage for both devices is pretty much the same. Do any of you think I may have a defective battery?

Edit: A clean flash resulted in 6 hours of SOT on average
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] ere1nion:
How is your reception on the pixel? If pixel have harder time connecting to cell tower, could explain, at least partially, not as much SoT.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] rickysidhu_:
It's either average or slightly below. I had no idea a poor cell signal could cause battery life to take a hit! But again, I was in the same areas with my Nexus 6P and the battery life was still better on that :(

Starting to feel like it may be a dud of a battery

I think this is the best screen on time I've​ ever gotten on a phone 5 hours and 30 minutes.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] McSnuffles:
Coming from the Nexus 6P, this phone has absolutely blown battery expectations out of the water. Coming from 3-4.5 hours of SoT to now getting sometimes 7 hours of SoT, I have had no issues or complaints with it. Even under heavy usage (lots of videos, chats, games) I still get over 4 hours of SoT which is more than enough for me in any situation.

Anyone getting great screen time with Default settings? Adaptive and Ambient Display on? Brightness at %50? Anyone getting great SOT using Android Wear with an huawei Watch? I always by habit quick to hook up my phone to a changer whether I'm at Work , in the car or at home.

Today I haven't charged my phone since I removed from the Charger at 6 am and I'm sitting at 44% with 1 hr 36 min screen time.

Received my pixel yesterday, and battery life seems great so far!
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] thenessus:
Coming from Nexus 5x, I would vary between 2.5 SOT to 4.

Owning a One Plus 1 before it, I would vary between 3.5 to 5 hours SOT.

I got a Pixel XL 2 days ago.

I am currently at 5:05 SOT and... and got 40% left !

I am guessing I will get around 7 hours by the end of the day.

Update: I am at 7:15 hours SOT at 10%.

Wow.

Yes, I am exaggerating with my phone time today because I am bored and been kicked out of my home by my now ex girlfriend. So don't judge me for spending too much time on a mobile device. Heh.

Been using it mostly browsing and chatting.

Location on, nothing turned off or tweaked.

Stock.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] Cri87:
5h of screen on are a good result...
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] sparky_boi:
Have gotten the longest screen on time today. 7 hours and phone still on 17%.

Have been on wifi all day with screen on 75%brightness. Using pn rom and ex kernel on default settings + greenify :)

Edit: 8hrs 28min before it shut off ?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
What were you getting on the S7 Edge? Also was the S7 Edge an exynos variant? Most people say the S7 edge has better battery life compared to the Pixel XL. The let down for the Pixel XL was the SD821 not being power efficient. The Pixel XL 2 would be the phone to have with the new SD835 or SD836.

I'm getting around 6 hours SOT pretty consistently on my XL. Maybe sometimes a little more. Really enjoying this phone now after having it for about 3 weeks.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] savagebunny:
Well wasn't going for a record, but didn't realize I was going so long on SoT.

Music streaming to car earlier, a ton of Discord usage, auto brightness. Very limited notifications cause I don't need them. Don't have data enabled cause I'm on WiFi, nfc off etc.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] savagebunny:
Well, forgot SoT. Damn.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] MMrrTT:
If I charge it and try to get the highest SoT doing something or watching something, it can be quite big. But if I use it normally during the day, the SoT is about 3 hours. Is it normal?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] crazykas:
Stock kernel?
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] rolling_thunder:
Stock kernel, yes. I'm pushing over 7 hours in a 24 hour period at times too. Browsing, texting, calls, duo calls. Basic stuff.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] crazykas:

Verizon pixel XL. First day of full usage without charging at all. Pretty heavy usage, being that it's at 22% still, and I used daydream a bit. This is with location, Bluetooth, nfc, wifi, and data on all day, paired to my car streaming yt music and my watch and headset.

Much better battery than my one plus 3 has.

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] makapav:
Don't fret. I get the same SOT as you. One thing you will notice is that the drain rate/hour with interaction and video playback are very different. If you play Netflix/local video you will get ~6-7 hours SOT but if you're actively using the phone, I drop in the 4 hour range (irrespective of LTE/WiFi).

I am a heavy user with full sync enabled (GPS, Maps location sharing, Exchange on GMail, 4 gmail accounts) on Android Oreo with 6 profiles setup and ~530 apps installed across 6 profiles (~300 in primary user).

[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] scorpilusgigantus1:
it is the best i have ever use i get almost 9 hours on uninterupted use. i left my display time out to 30 minutes incase i had to do something that will take me away from the phone. like prayer and answering the call of nature. here is the screen short.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] makapav:
That screenshot does not tell anything. You need to take screenshots further down in the screen shows usage and then you also need to tap in and show the system apps usage by clicking on the battery. If you leave your phone on with an infinite time out you will get eight hours if you're not interacting with it.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] scorpilusgigantus1:
ok. will send every single thing the next time i have time to push to phone. meanwhile that day i read on the XDA for over 2 hours then spent most of the time chatting on whatsapp, face book, instagram, and twitter too. and i had to open every single video or picture i came accross. i did that for about 4 hours. i was multitasking just trying to push the phone. take 121 pictures. and recorded a video for 27 minutes 42 seconds, none stop. have also chat with google assistant for 27 minutes. and watch a film titled miss Bala. thats when the battery rundown to 2% then exited and take that screen short.
[Google Pixel XL Real Life Review] scorpilusgigantus1:
Ok. Here it is. The only differences is that this time I never recorded video nor snap pictures or use WhatsApp/ Twitter/ Instagram. But use Facebook most and view every single video I came across. And download over 20 pictures, Plus watch those videos that just pop out on their own. Read a lot on XDA download a tone of application at play store, browse using opera mini browser. Use UC browser for sometime too. Plus look through over my two thousand pictures both old and new ones. Play a little game too. And watch a video I previously download on YouTube. See it your selves. Note that I had put my phone on silent mode for about 20 minutes or so. Don't want to wake wife and the kids when receiving new notification.

Hmm, I got locked vzn Pixel on 8.0. And it barely gets me through the day anymore. Maybe 3.5 hours SOT if that. Some reason I feel like 8.0 just kills my battery. I only check my phone for emails and texts, occasionally playing a game or social networking..
