I'm currently at 4 1/2 hours screen on time with 46% battery remaining. I can easily get to 8 hours. I'm running the amazing AOSPA Rom right now as well. I stream a lot of music so I could probably get even more screen on time without all the music streaming.

i just got this phone wednesday 8pm and got a full charge in 1 hour, is sunday 8pm, 4 full days standby time plus 5 calls under 3 min each and 5 hour SOT total and i still get 32% battery left, this battery-snapdragon 625 combo is AMAZING, i come from 2016 top phone samsung S7 edge and i love this phone already. just got the best silicon lottery or what?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] mongoose96:
Tried to see how long it would last lowest I got the battery to is 31% and that had 6.5 hours screen on time. rooted with greenify. Was quite the surprise coming from a m8 getting maybe 2.5, if I was lucky 3 hours
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] acejavelin:
In 2 weeks, I have twice now gotten 7+ hours SoT over a 16 hour period in mixed WiFi/LTE usage, and still had over 10% battery when it was plugged in at the end of the day. My last phone, a Moto X Pure Edition would be on the charger twice to make it though that.

No root, all services running, precise location and location tracking enabled, Google Assistant enabled, WiFI and BT on all the time, auto screen brightness, etc... I do nothing to conserve battery and on my average day I am still at 50% or more when it goes on the charger.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] adu1982:
3 months in now and battery still great. Yesterday for example left with it at 65% around 1 pm and got back at 11 pm with still about 30% and used it quite bit. Compared to all phones I've had or seen in my family/friends circle this phone's battery life is amazing.

Battery in Moto G5 Plus is very good. I usually get 7-8h SoT, but sometimes it increase up to 10 hours.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] MrBelter:
Completely stock UK G5 Plus here, i get 8 hours no problem.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] carloandreaguilar:
Absolutely unhealthy to keep your battery draining that long. The longer the period is discharge, more harm to the battery. You should charge it every night, never met it get too low.

If you discharge your phone from 100 to 0% about 300 times, it will lose 20% capacity.

If you however discharge it from 100 to 50% 600 times, it will lose less than 7% of it's capacity.

So charge your phone every night.

Here's scientific proof for those who think I'm speaking nonsense.

SOT in 50% battery using VoLTE and 1.5hr nonstop voice call.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] radelpha:
On stock [no root and no unlocked bootloader]

Got upto 7hrs SOT and phone idle upto 2days+.... I think it's not the best.....:):) But ok.... Since my sim1 is not active it took more power I think...!!!
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] ditoparlo:
in my case, battery was amazing the first weeks of use. After a couple of weeks, is hard to get 7hs of SOT. When i bought this moto g, it was really easy to get 8-9 hours SOT. don't know if my battery is ****ed up or maybe app updates like fb, instagram, and the rest...
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] acejavelin:
Apps and normal battery deterioration... Facebook and Instagram are two of the worst battery draining apps out there, in general social media and messaging apps are the worst battery offenders.

If it bothers you, try a factory reset and retest without installing anything... But to be honest, I've never gotten more than just a couple minutes over 7 hours SoT (7h 3m is my record according to GSAM).
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] adu1982:
Wut?

Didn't get that. But battery still impresses me so much I don't miss my g5. Trading the lower camera for better battery, better GPS, not getting hot enough so you can cook eggs on it is well worth it.

Almost 8 months and phone still doing great. Wife's LG g5 went to crap too so just ordered another Moto g5 put the 4 gb ram version. Sad part is the LG g5 is not even paid off but only on it's 9th payment (luckily I was smart enough to get it for 4.65$ a month (14.65 minus 10$ credit).). Will say this....will never buy an LG product again. I gave them more than enough chances because our LG g2s and g3s we're awesome......but after a bootlooped g4, and a bootloops g5 and a g5 that barely still works and gets hot as hell I've had enough.

Love the Moto so far... Battery life is the best I've had so far.

Hi, I'm on stock Nougat with latest update to the date. Which percentage of brigthness would you say it's the best for all day use ?

I'm trying to keep both good battery life for the day and a nice level of brightness to enjoy the content I'm looking at.

Thanks in advanced!

3.5hr 50% | 25% brightness | Stock nougat | no root | no kernel
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] riggerman0421:
I keep mine at about 50% with autobrightness enabled. I get around 5.5-6 hours SOT.

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

I keep mine at about 50% with autobrightness enabled. I get around 5.5-6 hours SOT. This is with full stock unrooted.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] MezzaLuna:
On my moto G5 plus with nougat stock I use the adaptive brightness, set it to the lower level in the dark and let it do the work.

Some times I reach more than 6 hrs of sot.

By the way SOT it's just a standard to survey battery time, don't give it too much importance if you are ~3hrs of sot i.e. from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. in a range from 100% to 20% of battery it's quite good. It depends on net status, how you use the device...
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Danchiman:
Awesome! I will try this today and I'll see the results! So far it's working and seems like a very good solution to my question! Thanks!.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] MezzaLuna:
N.B. Lower dosen't mean the lowest. In the dark move the light level bar from right to left till the display reaches the darkest level. In my case it's almost the middle, try and find the right level.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] mechabhay:
Hi, I am using Jio and Airtel in my G5 plus ,I never got SOT more than 4 hours ,even the network reception in my area is good
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] acejavelin:
Dual SIMs uses significantly more battery... You have an active LTE and GSM connection constantly. With a single SIM you would likely get close to 5 hours.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Danchiman:
Right, so i've tried to activate Adaptative Brightness and find the lowest brightness point that suits me the most while using the brightness sensor in the darkest environment i could. This brightness point would be almost at the middle, having the screen pretty pretty dark.

I tried that for half a day, then a full day keeping the same configuration and it's active till today right now.

The battery life has improved tremendously for me, keep in mind i don't usually consume video unless i'm at home, but i do use Spotify, Instagram, 9gag, whatsapp and some internet surfing.

So the full day of use i got 4 and a half hours of SOT at the end of the day while having still 31% of battery. Meanwhile, without Adaptative Brightness, at that time i would have ~ 15%.

Just one thing, i would like to be able to turn ON/OFF the Adaptative Brightness the quickest way and when turning it on again, recover my last configuration of brightness for the adaptative function. But i don't know how to achieve this.

So, i'll try to keep using Adaptative Brightness and get used to it.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] MezzaLuna:
I don't know if the stock rom has a quick toggle for adaptive brightness.

Since I always have the auto bright activated this is not a big issue to me, by the way the solution is simple. Adjust the level manually when you need more light than restore to the lowest level.

Nice to read you reached a very good sot with another 31% of battery left.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] rajeshkoshti:
Install "power toggles" and keep a shortcut to homescreen, simple.

[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DogzOfWar:
So far, I've never had a phone handle standby so well. I will routinely leave my phone with 50 or 75% at night instead of plugging it in, and it will pretty much have that in the morning. Maybe it loses 1% per hour on standby?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] seru871:
Say exactly how much the phone loses overnight because I think I'm too much because about 8%. Where are you leaving the phone?
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DogzOfWar:
Dude, I swear, just by my posting the 5 star rating, my phone started hemorrhaging battery. From 10:30pm to 7:30am, I lost about 15%+ last night. Doing some looking around, it's my cell standby, and it now looks like my wifi calling setup isn't working. (I'm on Mint Sim, a T-Mobile MVNO). So I think that's the culprit. I'll keep investigating and you know. Dammit.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] NIK5NIK:
Now such problems,not drain so much overnight
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] DogzOfWar:
Okay, I think I might have a fix. It's possible this is a placebo effect, but I executed these commands, and last night my phone only lost 12% over 8 hours (which I think is pretty good)

This requires you to have ADB running already. I won't get into that because you find instructions elsewhere.

* Run "adb devices" to make sure you can see yours

* Run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enabled". Hopefully the output is 1. I didn't check this before I did the next command

* Run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enable all"

* Now if you re-run "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle enabled", you should see 1. If you saw a 0 before, it should now be one.

From reading elsewhere, this is a way to enable the "doze" feature of Android. It's possible that for some of us, it got disabled along the way? Who knows. But so far, I've been impressed with my 2 days after running this.
[Moto G5 Plus Real Life Review] Danio96:
Look what kind of apps are killing your battery during the night, i test the phone with the wifi active and i lost 3% during the night, the next day some how i lost 15% and i saw the bluemail app drain even with airplane mode

I have experienced close to what you have described OP. I am on T-Mobile as well and had wifi calling enabled. The battery would barely last a day with very little actual use. I disabled wifi calling and my battery life increased dramatically.

It happened tonight, from 78% to 54 in airplane mode with wifi off.

It was google fault standing to battery graphic, I killed google and the problem was solved.

Usually in idle I loose 1-2% of battery in airplane mode with wifi off.

With airplane mode off and wifi on it's 5-6% in the worst case scenario.

I've had my G5 Plus for a little over a week now, coming off of two years with the Nexus 5X, and man, is it an adjustment.

For those of you who've never held a Nexus 5X, it's plastic-body and super light, meaning it's basically immune to the pull of gravity--I could rest it on a blanket at a 45 degree incline or hold it vertically in my hand with a loose grip, and it would stay put.

The G5 Plus, on the other hand, feels substantially heavier, and the metal case is extremely slippery by comparison. So far no large falls onto hard surfaces, but I've ordered one of those rugged grippy cases, because it's only a matter of time. Pro tip: the raised Motorola logo on the back of the phone is a great place to rest a finger for some added friction.

The G5 Plus also has a slightly bigger screen, making some operations challenging one-handed (YMMV depending on hand size).

That being said, the Nexus felt cheap (because it WAS cheap), and this phone absolutely does not.

The lowest setting really is too bright, custom kernels do kind of help with the problem, but they require the setting to be toggled on/off. Gravity box with xposed has the ability to reduce minimum brightness, but that voids safety net. It would be great if it could be done systemlessly with a module.
