Getting the same battery life. I'm so shocked because I Never get this good of battery life on a phone... Like ever... Lol..

Also, yes, hate the way they handle auto brightness. It's terrible.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Gilley:
I love the battery on this thing as everyone else has said. Never have I gotten over 4 hours of screen time when using a phone . because I use battery hogs messenger/fb/snapchat etc. The standby without AOD has been about the same percentage as my Screen percentage but it hasnt bothered me when I get a full days use out of my phone. My s8 I was using previously i had to fight to get 3 hours of SOT.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Bobo Raketa:
Battery life remarkable. Did some tweaks, tho. Disabled 21 packages. I don't use facebook. Dark theme. Everything else is on: AOD, wifi etc. Moderate to heavy use. Just bought it 2 days ago, so was installing apps, benchmarking. Very satisfied with this phone. Coming from Sami S7E.

My first day with the v30. Pretty happy with the results considering it was day one so I was installing apps, testing everything, playing videos, listening to music, etc etc. Phone idle is suspiciously high but I still ended up with a pretty decent SOT and overall usage, so I don't think it's really worth complaining about.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Lockeskidney:
What themes is that
[LG V30 Real Life Review] brossovitch:
In a full day, I usually see 6-10hrs SOT. Depending on usage of course. But I've never seen an LG flagship get more than 5hrs before! The LCD screens normally kill battery. The Quantum IPS display of the G4 os the most battery inefficient thing in this universe! But nthe V30s vivid and beautiful POLED screen is a battery sipping godsend!

I love this device!

I think the Black Pixel UI theme I use helps a lot too though! I miss OLED since I stopped buying Galaxy devices a few years ago.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] chrisrj28:
Amazing is all I can say
[LG V30 Real Life Review] gum1941:
I'm on the g5, looking to upgrade to the V30 - My G5 is struggling to pull through 2.5 hrs of SoT now, so I'm thinking of getting an early upgrade. Could you tell me what tweaks you did to get 8+ hrs SoT?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] chrisrj28:
Honestly check my last post, I got over 8 hours screen on with over 24 hours off battery and I didn't tweak anything. Just normal usage.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] johanruda:
Do you have Facebook and/or Snapchat on your phone?

I'm getting decent screen-on-times but not 8 hours.

I'm not sure what's draining the battery and I'm not even sure it's those two apps (they're always low on my battery list) but it's always those people talk about when it comes to battery life.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] brossovitch:
I'm happy with my battery life. SOT doesn't really reflect battery usage though.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Jeremias72:
Hoping someone does a full battery drain test with a game or video running until it dies

If somebody is thinking that, Im gonna do that. I get my v30 in friday so its coming about 2 weeks from friday. Search from youtube Jeremias Helminen.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Saiint7:
I have the unlocked lg v30. Disabled some bloatware, nova launcher with kwlp. This has been an awesome first day :D:D
[LG V30 Real Life Review] galr:
5-7 hours SOT with about 20-25 hours on battery.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I'm surprised that the V30 actually has better battery life than the pixel 2 xl. However for usability and instant updates i prefer the pixel. However I have to admit that the v30 is a better daily driver. I will take the pixel device just for updates
[LG V30 Real Life Review] cavags5:
I never pick pixel 2,

V30 have just a front camera is not that good,but buy a phone without sd card, and jack ,for me is no good.

And v30 battery, oled screen and wide camera make beautiful photos,for daily driver its the best, doesn't mention the bezeless display.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
If youbwant the best Android experience then pixel 2 xl is the way to go. If taking great pictures is your thing then pixel is the way to go. If performance is what you want then pixel is the device to have. If software updates and security updates is what you want then pixel it is.

Ok the V30 is a good device too but on the long run the pixel is a clear winner.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] cavags5:
A phone is not only about camera, but all features you need for daily use, and v30 like s8 have it all.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
For long term daily driver the pixel is the winner
[LG V30 Real Life Review] jawis:
Have to agree. I have never had a new phone with battery life as good as this. I was initially concerned with getting a phone with no replaceable battery. My first phone with non-removeable bettery was the Note7. I liked it a lot for the short time I had it, but I didn't think battery life on it was very good. I got the v20 as a replacement. For me 2 hours SOT was good on the v20, but at least I could change the battery.

I have the same set up on the v30+ as I had on my v20. My v30+ SOT gets over 5 hours easily.

My v30+ uses very little power on Standby. My biggest power drain on my v20 was the camera and screen and it seemed to draw power in standby too.

I don't see these issue on the v30+. Will be interesting how the battery holds out in a few months time.

I have only had my new phone for 2 weeks. For anyone who has had the v30 for several months, how is the battery life after a few months duration?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] bigsaucy71:
Been using the phone all day while at home,connected to WiFi and the screen on 41%..I had the phone since release this is the first time I actually cared to see what it would do..
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Mejilan:
I'm impressed just how much this phone's battery life (and performance) crush my old, beloved 2015 Moto X Pure.

No. Comparison.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Aborto:
I don't disagree with those strengths, they are obvious, but I want a phone with an SD card slot (admittedly less of a concern with 128GB) and absolutely non-negotiable, a headphone jack.

The pixel is also very expensive, IMO rather ugly, not readily available in many countries, and importantly for me I have come to really dislike google as a company in the last few years and don't want to buy their phones.

Clear winner definitely depends on your priorities in a phone.

Anyway, on topic: the v30 battery life has been brilliant so far. I am moving from a Z2 which originally had amazing battery life before ageing and googles blocking of Sonys battery optimizations ruined it, I was ready to be disappointed or unimpressed at best but its blown me away.

I also do a lot of ebook reading with white text on a black background and the screen on time like this is ridiculous.

The flickering I get as the auto-brightness changes is horrible though.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Maksymilian777:
I bought LG yesterday and have about 5-6h sot. I know that's to earlie but I have questions about resolution. Change on medium?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] adityakumara:
in my V30+ around 6 hours and 30 minutes, dual-sim active.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Maksymilian777:
Did you change resolution?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] zacharias.maladroit:
That's what's worrying me (potentially) switching over from the Note 3,

it might be possible to tweak the behavior though - there's kernel-side changes for the Galaxy S8+ that allow for less flickering at (potentially) the cost of somewhat increased battery consumption at lower brightness,

since the GS8+ is the Exynos variant and Qualcomm handles these kind of things differently (where are those things stored ?) it's perhaps impossible to change the behavior though

(from my experience and what I saw Samsung gives more direct access to hardware which might be a good or bad thing - depending on the knowledge of devs and whether there are errors in the implementation with the risk of damage).

Any of you guys use the device a lot with web browsing & e.g. ebook reading ?

How's the SOT for you ?

There's ways to increase battery runtime significantly (e.g. via EAS scheduling) - I'm however curious why the web surfing performance was so bad for the LG V30 on gsmarena's review,

e.g. on notebookcheck it's much better
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Aborto:
Well my SOT today is 7 hours 45 min of mostly web browsing with 18% remaining.

I do a lot of ebook reading but never bothered to get any hard numbers. I'm pretty confident that with a black background it is quite a bit longer than that though.

I have noticed a few times the battery life has gone way down for no logical reason, but I have had that on every phone/rom I've used, it goes back to normal after a week or so. I tend to blame this on googles services going a bit rogue.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Maksymilian777:
Wow...7:45h? How do that? I have 6h max, mainly wifi. No gaiming,only web, facebook and YouTube, little spotify. Any advice?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] adityakumara:
Yap, FHD resolution. In QHD resolution is just around 4,5-5 hours SOT. :p
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Maksymilian777:
I changed to medium 2160x 1080 and I dont see much differents.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] adityakumara:
Are u sure? In my V30+ I get at least 90 minutes difference. :svetius:
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Maksymilian777:
Yes, I am sure. Do you use only wifi?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Aborto:
Not really, closer to 6h would be normal, that was unusually good and quite light usage.

I am careful about what I run, I don't have facebook installed or too many other apps like that, social media apps generally take a large chunk out of your battery life.

However I do have messenger lite, snapchat, whatsapp and wechat all on there at the moment.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ayaskant12:
Hello should I upgrade to it from OnePlus 5t?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] adityakumara:
From OnePlus 5T to LG V30?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ayaskant12:
Yes. Few things are getting me confused

1. Extremely Reliable battery in OP5T

2. Reasonably good screen in OP5T

3. Notification led absent in lg

4. Front selfie cam of LG

5. Lack of updates. Op5T is on Oreo 8.1 now!

Though updates these days are incremental and hardly change the user experience!

More so Samsung updates definitely are poorly optimized and slow down the phone.

So any expert suggestion?

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------

And forgot am getting a 5day old LG V30+ for 31500 RS which is almost same resale value of my OP5T 8gb model
[LG V30 Real Life Review] poncespr:
I am also getting around 8hrs sot. That is mostly chrome web browsing, some whatsapp, Spotify, and about an hour and a half of phone calls. Stock nougat, no optimizations. Just ditched my S8 Plus that would never get more than 5hrs sot no matter what.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Withoutab:
Is anyone else experiencing weird battery stats?

It says 67% of the battery has been used, even tough the battery is actually 95% full. Also it says my SOT is 2 hours and 28 minutes, but it's only been one hour since I've unplugged the phone..

I'm on oreo 8.0 (the phone came with oreo on it)
[LG V30 Real Life Review] cleyt64:
Try cleaning smart doctor app cache and reboot.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] cazcryy:
I actually had this exact same thing happen a few days ago. I check my battery stats pretty often so pretty safe to say this is new for me. As for the suggestion, my smart doctor has been disabled ever since I got the phone, so I'm thinking it's probably not related?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ern88:
I find Chrome is sucking a lot of juice. Since Oreo. My SOT has suffered. I even factory reset my phone and no change. Any pointers?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] wishy2211:
me too!!! wouls really be helpful if someone has an idea about this matter
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Sellll:
The Oreo 8.0 update reduced the battery life on screen time by 1.5-2 hours. That's crazy and embarrassing .

If I would be the operations director at LG Software department, I would send all desk worms who are coding the software to do land hands-on work like on potato, rice and tomato farms. South Coreea is lacking anyway manual labour, all kids want to be desk workers. So, there is enough talent waiting at the door to make LG Great again.

Or have proper honor and quit your jobs like all of us would do.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Mystogan:
Getting less SOT on oreo as well. i was expecting better cause muh oreo built-in background apps limiter. First time noticing this i see that google play services was a lot more active in oreo. going to disable running in background while not in use to see if that does anything.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mirbx:
I am very happy with battery time, I can not discharge battery in one day (but 2 days I dont take).

I am on stock Oreo with automatic bright and always on turned on, highest screen resolution. All time wifi, LTE, BT (connected LG urbane). Lighter ussage like chrome, tapatalk, youtube, hangouts, news etc. No games and few GSM talking. Charging always over night with some old 1A charger.

[LG V30 Real Life Review] ewatt99:
Everyone seems to be getting 5,6 and even up to 8 hours of screen on time, yet I seem to be getting as low as 2 1/2 hours from 100-15% and all I do is browse reddit and firefox. I'm lucky to get a strong 4 hours but never reached close to 5. How do you guys get such high battery life? Is there some setting or app I didn't disable that causes bad battery? It really sucks when your phone dies and other people are not having this issue. I had it both android 7 and 8.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] saintsimon:
Maybe the fingerprint reader?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Tinkerer_:
SOT is highly dependent on display brightness setting.

Confirmed yesterday with V30S outside in bright sunlight necessitating 100% display brightness, battery was down to 50% after about 2.5 hours SOT (about an hour at 100% display brightness and the rest at mixed lower display brightness levels).

If used only indoors with lower than mid display brightness, SOT is MUCH longer, more than double.

I have found two big power hogs on this phone:

1. High display brightness setting.

2. 2.5" external mechanical drive on USB OTG.

...
[LG V30 Real Life Review] brossovitch:
Seems decent on Oreo. Almost as good as my OnePlus 6..

This all mostly on LTE.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] andreisalvatorro:

This phone's power managment is phenomenal
[LG V30 Real Life Review] divinafortner:
6-7 hours SOT with about 20-25 hours on battery.

super happy with this phone :victory:
[LG V30 Real Life Review] scytalemk:
I get around 7 hours of SOT, but with FHD, not UHD.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] asvaberg:
I come from Moto Z Play - a "SOT beast" with 3500mAh and a very power-efficient chipset and AMOLED screen.

I was a bit anxious moving to V30 for the battery performance I was used to, but I haven't looked back.

What an amazing phone - SOT 6hours, very fast quick charge, but why is the charger and the cable white? :)
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Nemeziz 56th:
I get 5 SoT with 45%. Yesterday i was on Intermot Event and lost 55% by Music Stream,Navigator, Photos take. Incredibly Values, i have Screen to FHD Option.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
Good to know, how have you setup your phone? Have you ultra optimised it with all the power saving tips and tricks (ie disabling Google location history, wifi off when screen is off etc) or just relatavily standard setup with no extra special tweaks? Just curious because I am thinking of getting this phone and wonder about battery life. Comming from the HTC 10.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Nemeziz 56th:
I got root and delete the most of unused apps by me.

In Google App i disable the most features like; Ok Google, Position Tracking etc.

Got the black G7 Theme with a black wallpaper and most of my apps are black, which will reduce the battery drain significantly.

Now SoT of 7 Hours are really no problem.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Nemeziz 56th:
I love the OLED Screens for there customization.

You self can push the battery drain down, lower resolution, black content, color saturation...

That is the huge plus on this technology.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] MonstaSaleens:
6 hours & 30 min to 7 hours easily. Much better than my s7 edge that can barely get over 3, love this phone.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] MonstaSaleens:
Modded stock kernel with boombox v1.3 and a G7 dark theme from playstore

50% brightness, data and Wi-Fi with moderate usage. :good:
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
Nice. How long have you had this phone for and is it Oreo or Nougat?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Nemeziz 56th:
Im on Oreo the phone i own now 2 Weeks.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] IshsXda:
how the hell did u make system/os consumption so low? Are you flashed?
[LG V30 Real Life Review] nascar48:
So why does this phone dominate battery life? It is only a 3300 mah battery.... Very impressed! Got 4 hours sot with 43% left.

Lg software maybe better at power usage than stock android????
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Emu:
Browsing and YouTube in the background. And I rebooted 2 times to install a Magisk module in TWRP. This phone refuses to die. My old LG G4 would have only lasted 3 hours.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Nemeziz 56th:
Im very impressed about that battery life.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] gabytzubc:
No. I rooted the phone but came back to stock. My battery life is almost identical everyday..and the usage is the same..YouTube in the background ,2 ,3 hours of gaming,FB..WhatsApp..
[LG V30 Real Life Review] IshsXda:
I see, i just got my V30+ H932 recently. Attached are the battery results. Under similar load on my similarly configured G6, it would probably get about 5h and 30 min of SoT for comparison. So about a good 40-50% bump in SoT on the V30...... Idk what to say.....im sorta baffled. I was planning to root and flash deodex stock or LOS but never mind for now i guess.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] gabytzubc:
But I uninstalled some bloats with ADB , I use a black theme. Nothing for now that root can give me. I have international nversion
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mukeshp7867:
Moved to this phone about a week ago from Oneplus2 which I used for about 2.5 years and using multiple (almost all on XDA) custom roms.

Loving the stock setup on V30+ and great battery backup even though is has same capacity battery.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mukeshp7867:
:good:
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ChazzMatt:
I've been very surprised at the excellent battery life. I was very worried moving from 5.2" OLED Moto Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx/Moto Turbo) with 3900 mAh battery to 6" OLEd with 3300 mAh battery. But, LG optimized the heck out of the stock firmware. You have to give them credit.

That's why I'm still on rooted stock firmware, even though on all other phones I have always run custom ROMs. I'm still rooted -- got to have root -- but with Nova launcher, custom icon packs, my own wallpaper, I see no need to flash a custom ROM.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Septfox:
Though I have no doubt they got it pretty well optimized - even against like phones, it does well - a big part of the unexpectedly good results are from the SoC. Don't give LG too much credit.

The 805 used in our Quarks was fairly beefy, but it's power-hungry as all hell for only having 4 cores. The 835, with its general efficiency improvements (if you look at some of the benchmark numbers the IPC improvements vs ye olde 805 are absolutely bananas) and the big/little core layout, it's just...leagues ahead. Almost a different creature at this point.

Too bad they didn't decide to go 1-2mm thicker and stuff a 4000mah+ battery in there. Things would've gotten silly.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ChazzMatt:
While I'm very happy with the battery life, I'm never going to turn down bigger battery capacity. If the 5.2" Quark could have 3900 mAh, this 6" phone could have at least 3500 mAh. 4000 mAh would have been astonishing. Ironically, two of Motorola's BUDGET (low spec) phones have

4,000 mAh

and even

5,000 mAh

while they STUPIDLY cut the the

Z2 Force battery down 2750 mAh

-- so they can sell more battery mods! Sell you back what they took away. :rolleyes:

Sort of like how idiotic

Essential sells you a $150 headset jack "mod"

-- because they took away the headset jack..
[LG V30 Real Life Review] Septfox:
Welllllll

The Quark owed its petite size despite the large battery to almost entirely lacking a frame (look at the back of replacement screen+bezels on eBay; that's the extent of physical reinforcement it has inside), so it was incredibly vulnerable to being dropped, sat on, or looked at funny. The V30 does have a lot of aluminum in it to make it largely immune to those things, and that takes up space.

Not disagreeing with you, mind. Making the phone a few mm thinner at cost of battery life is still a ridiculous practice. At least LG got their kernel optimizations in order to make good use of what they have, instead of immediately turning around and hyping up some gimmicky battery-extender.

It does include a good (according to them) DAC though, probably something equivalent to the V30's. Sooooo it's not quite as purely idiotic as it could be; at least does something special/somewhat unique over the common overpriced accessory. Unlike the Moto Mod thing with their mediocre projector, speaker that can be outdone by a universal bluetooth speaker, battery pack that can be outdone by a universal power bank at a fraction of the cost, etc...

Anyway, done derailing the thread :)
[LG V30 Real Life Review] ChazzMatt:
My point is "mods" for the most part are to sell you what SHOULD have been in the phone in the first place -- enough battery, headset jack, Qi wireless charging. Mods are a solution in search of a problem. Then OEMs (LG, Motorola, Essential) create the problem (like 2750 mAh battery) to sell more mods. Put headset jack with DAC, 4000 mAh battery, Qi wireless charging in the phone, WHAT mods do you really need?

LG quickly dropped this money grabbing scheme after the G5 debacle.
[LG V30 Real Life Review] mwake4goten:
This is clearly a scam, I watched a video on Nova about battery technology... It's a joke that we haven't found decent solution to current situation. But batteries that can last longer are a threat to profits. Samsung, Apple and the rest don't really want a solution to battery issues, how else will they get us to upgrade every two years. Give me a few extra millimeters and beefier battery I actually prefer that than credit card style phones.

Despite that lol this phone is a beast for me, 6 hours and only 40% battery used. My last phone HTC 10 if it managed 6 hours in total would have been amazing!
