Would you like a screenshot? I can show you COD WW2 or Sniper Elite V4 running DX11 with 80+ fps, your call.

Difference is I actually OWN a 1080TI whereas you do not, how can you say what a 1080TI is to achieve if you do not own one? :confused::rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] saved-j:
Well you still miss the point: have you heard of the energy consumption of the 1080 ti, and, what about its size and weight, after all? Are you really sure you want to carry THAT in your pocket...

Of course there are very powerful video cards as well as other gaming and 3d rendering devices, but mind their size and energy consumption.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] kanej2006:
I do know the energy consumption of the 1080 ti as well as hefty size and weight. I was just making my point that the 1080 ti can play most games fully maxed at 4k ultra settings at 60+ fps. I own one so I would know!

It would still be nice if we were able to adjust resolution just like on a pc. Older, less demanding graphically games would look and run fine in 2k or higher resolution.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
That is pretty good but you might be able to squeeze more SOT out of it. At the moment the best phone with a battery life is the Mate 10 pro.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] ross23:
I am getting amazing SOT with this phone. Easily throughout the day i get around 6 hrs SOT with the battery sitting around the 25% mark.

Switching off adaptive brightness and manually setting the brightness to a comfortable level gives me more juice.

However, I also have Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, Snapchat, Instagram all running, and these apps are the more power hungry ones.

Overall, I love the battery life on this phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] javiwz:
Good when it has nougat 7.1.1, but after the oreo update, it just decreased from 9 hrs to 6 or 7 hrs with the same daily task
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] amakuramio:
7.30 hr on Oreo with 11% left. Is nougat really better on battery? This phone is good but heavy. I used to have Samsung, really laggy and battery drain was horrible. But I don't experience it on Sony phones.

Average 8 hr 30 min, debloated, adblock Xposed, adblock hosts, stamina mode always on but set on choose for performance, brightness 35 percent.

.75 rom I built myself.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Inerent:
? Nice
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] amakuramio:
I got 8.3 hours sot watching 720p hd anime all day, chatting for 1 hour. YouTube 3 hours.

It's my own debloated .75 rom I posted.

Brightness on 40 percent.

Used x posed with adblocker and gravitybox, too
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Zachary90:
My battery sucks

Imma post what I have, but they are not that great.

Updated and now already done a software repair.

What else can I do other than root?

I got 2 years warranty.

Stock 8.0, somehow got 12h SOT, i usually get 8-9h SOT when on wifi the whole day, but randomly got 12h today
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] int2k:
Android pie, bought used for 195 bucks

Constantly getting 4 to 5 and a Half hours of SOT across 21 hours of standby, usage includes 1 match of pubg, mini gaming (1 or 2 games) , 10 photos, recording 2 slowmo viddeo, doing 2 3D head sculpture stuff, chatting whatssap, watching YouTube, browsing websites, listening to music. Wifi off during 6 hours of sleep, no lte or mobi data is used.

Currently I have one of the 4 x AA battery extenders which copes not badly for the average day trip, but often means getting a set of extra batteries while travelling.

This can be a compete pain if I am travelling on a longer trip and and have a stop on a bus/train in some place where I was not staying long enough to buy currency, and they dont take cards.

So...

How about soldering a USB cable onto one of these (last row is the UK price).

6V 4.5Ah SLA	L21AC	7.99

6V 10ah SLA	UD07H	13.99

6V 12ah SLA	UD08J	14.99

6V 7Ah SLA	N33FR	1034	3.99

Remember the Ah rating is for 6v - so 5 times the equivalent of one 1.2v rechargeable AA or 4 times that of a 1.5v disposable.

http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITAG=SPEC&ModuleNo=19363&doy=1m2#spec

The downside is they are obviously heavier, but have 3 times the capacity of standard rechargeables at under a kilo (but are small enough for the smallest side pocket on a rucsac).

The only downside is I dont know if they leak if battered.

Any suggestions/ideas?
[General Topics] Crackers:
Have you thought about Li Ion or NiMh batteries, they give better performance, last longer and more importantly are lighter. I use them on a converted electric mountain bike......

Another option might be something like this...

Freeloader Portable Solar Charger

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Search.aspx?menuno=11936&FromMenu=y&doy=1m2&MenuName=Portable Energy Source

Specs say can run a PDA for 22hrs on its internal battery which is recharged by solar panels.

Good luck
[General Topics] wizardragon:
Thanks

I had looked at the freeloader, but it does not really hold enough power as the battery drains at an alarming rate on trains or coaches as it tries to find cells, and using the net, playing music, keeping the display on, videos eats the battery power to much to make a freeloader viable on long journeys.

Also - a free loader is not really viable to get a recharge on a plane, or train or bus if not at the sunny window side.

However, could you recommend any larger capacity NiMh or Li ion batteries that don't break the bank?

Cheers
[General Topics] Crackers:
I take your point on both counts.

The Li-ion battery packs that I use on the bike are 36V 2Ah Bosch cordless power tool batteries. Perhaps the power tool battery option might be suitible, as batteries/chargers are readily available and you could get a cordless drill as a bonus.........
[General Topics] wizardragon:
Thanks/

I have a Bosch cordless hammer drill and the battery fits under around and to the front of the grip, but its massive, probably heavier than my motorcycle battery too. The charger for it is also pretty big.

How did you drop the voltage to make it work to charge in a USB range, as wont the internal resitance of the PDA vary vastly depending upon which functions it is performing?

I had noticed maplins did battery boxes for projects and had thought about either a 4x or 8x of C or D batteries or a 4x or 5x, C or D cheapo Maglite clone just to use for the battery storage tube.

However the downside with C or D batteries is most of the rechargable ones dont hold much over 3Ah unless going into the heavy price range, although these are starting to fall.

Did you find any specific battery with a good shape/weight/price/capacity?

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] raven213:
damn no reviews for this lol im just here letting you guys know that the standby battery is amazing went to sleep yesterday at 12am with 69% of battery woke up today at 7:30am with 67% damn my old lg v20 couldnt do that lol
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Moarten:
It's quite bad here with standby drain as well. "Phone Idle" is always on top of the battery usage apps and it's probably a few percent an hour, depending on charge of course. >90% it's 1-2% an hour, but that increases when the charge level drops.

Stock .145 rom with storm//'s hack and have greenify running
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] AdiSimpson:
Standby drain 0,2-0,4 %/h. locked BL, .145, Greenify.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] madshark2009:
phone idle coming top 3 with 6% took from 100% in about 4 hours! what could be causing that??

phone idle 4:11 hours

screen time 1:50 hours

36minutes of sniper 3d

7minutes playtube player while screen on (plus 20 minutes screen off)

I am on 57% just after 4 hours of use! while only 1:50 hours of them screen on!

phone idle for 4:11 hours took 6% which is a ratio of (1.5% per hour)

not good at all, what could be the problem??

I tried draining to 0 then charge to 100 on a straight charge while phone is off, phone is factory resetted, locked, not rooted, stock rom .119 oreo

what else can I do here?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] alexs784:
I don't know but I have the same issue for months... Usually 2,4-2,8% per hour (when screen off!!) and battery stats not showing anything relevant.

I have everything stock, and I am using Greenify since a ~week, now I have 1,5%-1,8% on standby (which is still a lot, but improved compared to the previous situation).

Is really bad because if I detach my phone at 7 in the morning, at 14 I am already at ~80% without doing nothing! :( That's also means that using it, specially a lot with maps or things like that, I am not able to go farest than 17-21 :crying:
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] madshark2009:
i noticed that factory reset didnt work for me, neither does software repair

so what I did was, flashed .179 firmware, fresh flashing, wiped every thing!

battery life was almost still the same, it got a lil better.

BUT, I am now using stamina mode any time I dont use the phone much, in my pocket, or even if im slightly using it (whatsapp, instagram etc...), I only turn it off when im gaming or watching some thing which is getting me to lose 1% every 4-6 minutes when using the device, and not losing anything when the device is off (as I activate the stamina mode) this should get me around 6:30-8:00 hours of screen time!

also I noticed I had viberation on navigation buttons, I also had face detection unlock and "ok google" unlock, and google feed and a lot of widgets and a live wallpaper, and avg running in the background.

so I disabled all of these useless features as I really dont use any of them (maybe rarely) and i can feel a slight improvement. (still slight improvement over slight improvement makes a noticeably improvement)

so now I unplugged my device at 17:00 at 90% more or less and now its 22:07 and i still got 56% so in about 5 hours I lost 34% while 2:14 hours, screen was on so its very impressive!

I can get to 6:45 hours of screen use which is very very good! im still testing though.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Rotaku:
Nah i know its too late to write this but,.

For you all who have a problem draining battery even at sleep try Greenify Donation Package + Powernap xposed module

Even now my xzp still have sot around 6 hours with 15% battery left. With everything enabled like x-reality, auto brightness, mobile data.

Btw i'm using existenz v10 cusrom + DT2W Kernel

If there is one thing no phone from 2017 or 2018 can't beat XZ Premium then that is how it looks. The Chrome one especially looks absolutely stunning when used without any sort of protective cover. The glass back is slippery so it’s a good idea to use it with a transparent cover.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] madshark2009:
quality maybe good compared to other devices but this one right here is scary when it comes to applying pressure on it as the screen gets faulty easily (yellow spots, pressure points appear easily) so be careful, this will only happen if you constantly apply pressure on your phone, lets say if its in your pocket while your'e sitting it could apply bending pressure on it if its for long period, or if you accidentally sleep over your phone overnight so pressure all night will cause yellow spots and pressure point indicator so be careful! the slightest pressure on this device could cause volume rockers to stop functioning properly or could easily show an indication of pressure on the screen by yellow marks and easy pressure indicator.

I find and believe that the *plastic* side rails on our XZP's make this the easiest handling huge phone I've ever owned. From the Note 4 to the U Ultra, I've owned alot of phablets and this is the best handling of them all. I love this thing.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] afrojack77:
Personally i think it handles superbly and that smooth finish makes it easy to hold for long hours
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Denonite:
I love the weight, really feels like something special and I think it helps in the hand, its not light and flimsy, very comfortable and the fingerprint sensor is perfect for my thumb. Only down side is I hardly see my lock screen as its that fast to unlock. Went to a friends to day and there was oohs when I showed them the phone in chrome, screen also got a load of admiration.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Combonary:
You can see your lock screen by just pressing the low end tip of the power button. It just wakes the screen without attempting to use the fingerprint scanner
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Xifar:
Handles a lot better than my G3. The smooth sides really make it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Superfish86:
coming from my LG g3, with the same sized screen, I will say the more boxy design is considerably more difficult to operate with one hand. it definitely has a more premium feel, but if you're not very familiar with one handed acrobatics, you might drop this accidentally
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] dazza9075:
had Lumia 950XL before this and actually, I quite like the look and feel of it an I'm not scared I'm going to crack the glass on the edges if I walk past a table edge. One thing I do miss on this compared to my Lumia 950xl is the ability to bring down the display to half way
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Ashen_-_One28:
A few months back i upgraded from a z5 to the xz premium and i have to say the handling is much better. It is far more satisfying to use it without a case but i don't recommend that. Overall if you have big hands then this phone shouldn't be a problem.

i really wish you got more control of what you have on the phone. Sony includes software that you are free to download if you wish with no way to remove it, some not even able to disable.

Coming from Motorola's very clean software to this was a bit of a shock. this is really my only complaint about an otherwise superb phone.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Bidiminished:
It runs android 8.0 but it's more like android 7.5 as it's so bare-bones that it's literally missing stock features. No ambient display, always on display, double tap to wake/sleep or screen-off gestures. Sony didn't even bother updating the notification shade colour or the power menu. There isn't much in the settings menu either. The theme engine isn't powerful enough in my opinion as it just changes the wallpapers, icon theme and nav bar icons while keeping the system UI the same.

One cool feature is how you can change the lockscreen clock. Unfortunately, an am/pm indicator is enforced if you use 12-hour time and the indicator is placed really awkwardly on the clock widgets. If you look at the promo pictures of Sony phones then they always run it in 24 hour time but have the time being in the morning (e.g. 10:30 am) so you can't tell that it's 24 hour time. It's like the people in charge of the press renders know how dumb the am/pm indicator looks but the person in charge of designing the clocks just refuses to get rid of it for some reason.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Real Life Review] Phat-T:
If you're not cheap, buy some Substratum themes which themes the whole phone and apps. You don't need root if you're on Oreo. Also, Always on Display would surely kill the battery on an LCD screen. I love their bone stock software, if I needed something I can just download it. The less bloats the better!

Hi,

I have the O2 polaris version (xda orbit 2) from germany, I want to be able to view hebrew text. I don't need\want the extra features provided by paragon\eyron\pdac. I can't stress this enough... I DON'T want this crap on my device. It just makes it messed up. I'm perfectly comfortable with the german interface that comes with the device. I just want to be able to READ (not write) hebrew emails and SMS. Simple enough.

Is there any way to achieve this?
