[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] msc125:
I played around with my friends Pixel 2XL, tested side by side shots, it isn't much better at all

The Google Camera Port on the U11+ is better, but only slightly with respect to motion.

In my testing so far;

- Less motion blur with Google Camera Port, but it's still there

- Definitely better detail with the U11+ camera

- Less blown out highlights with Google Camera Port

- Quicker shutter speed with U11+ camera all round
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Deleted member 8825749:
What is this port and where can I find it?

Is it the one made by Mark Harman on the Play store?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] msc125:
Hi, it's the port of the camera from the Pixel 2, you can find it here;

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-ported/

There is a bug- it force closes in slow motion mode

I've been using it more, and I've found that the Google Camera seems to have a kind of 'make- up' effect to people's skin. People's skin looks unnatural, almost too good. It doesn't look BAD on the HTC camera, it just looks real

Please let me know how you get on
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Deleted member 8825749:
What's your verdict?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] msc125:
I'm using a new version now, the one with added portrait mode

Check this out

https://xdaforums.com/mi-5/themes/app-collection-camera-modded-t3591177/page162

I'm using v1.3

Limited testing so far, but portrait mode works great

Detail is better than the port I was using before, and as before there are less blown out highlights then the U11+ camera

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] JGWL:
Abysmal charging speed

It takes me about 3 to 3.5 hours to charge the U11+ from 0% to 100% using the original charger. This is in line with a review from Tweakers.net (Dutch techwebsite) who found in their standardized battery test that charging the U11+ took 3.5 hours.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
I'm sorry to totally disagree with you, and most probably you have a defective unit.

Mine takes a little bit more than an hour and a half, original cable and charger.

:p
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] wilpang:
Hi

That doesn't sound right either, for those times your phone is charging at standard speeds not fast charging. When you are next plug in check the lockscreen and make sure 'charging rapidly' is displayed with the time it's going to take.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] SteveLBMK:
I think 2 hours roughly, but will check with stopwatch next time

I think that mine takes a couple of hours to recharge and will measure it properly the next time I charge it up.

I noticed an improvement in charging time using Volutz USB C cables (set of 5) and, in fact, when I went back to the standard lead I got a message that my phone was charging more slowly than usual.

I bought another charger as a spare, a Spigen, which I also highly recommend.

I'm not allowed to post the links as I am a newbie, but both available on Amazon.

Around one hour from 15% to full using both my stock charger and another old Nexus 5X charger.

Battery life is great.

25 hours so far - 7 hours and counting screen on time

-- Browsing, news apps

-- Settings tweaks

-- WordsWF

-- YouTube

-- Wi-Fi on

-- Bluetooth on

-- Amazon Music

-- Auto brightness

(Full disclosure: 15 min./~5 % juice before I pulled the charger to do this test)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] petvas:
I get between 4 and 8 hours SOT, depending on usage. If I am a lot on the road, using LTE, then I get an SOT of around 4 hours (above it). If I am on WiFi, then it gets or exceeds 8 hours SOT. With a mixed usage I get around 5-6 hours.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] wakers:
I'm not getting as much sot as in was with the normal U11 having said that I've only had the device for 2days so see how it goes...
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] petvas:
Remember to disable News Republic and disable background data for Facebook. This helps a lot and gives your device at least 1 hour SOT more.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galactus:
Using 70% auto brightness, I get around 5 hours SOT over 24 hours on 4g/LTE nothing special
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] petvas:
On Wi-Fi it is much better. Expect 7-8 hours SOT
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
With the battery size i was expecting similar results to the mate 10 and mate 10 pro but looks like its not the case
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] mast3rchi3f:
Standby time is terrible, have disable the always on display, wifi, removed news republic and more bloatware included by htc and in 8h lost around 15% battery.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Quantumlogic:
Terrible? No not here. This battery is great. I have problems getting it empty. And I use my phone a lot. Aod is on by contact. Auto brightness, wifi on.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] ferdzso:
which OS version are you on? is it the Taiwan model?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Phil750123:
Any other tips for battery life, I'm getting around 5h SOT that's with auto brightness off and brightness set to around 40% or lower, disabled background data for fb, insta etc..., Bluetooth scanning off, wifi on, disabled news republic and other bloatware.

Have to say I was expecting more so bit disappointed.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galactus:
Oddly enough, my battery has improved by not disabling everything I do not use. I have uninstalled/disabled apps I do not use, but I have not touched background data or run in background settings at all.

On 4G battery could be better but on WI-FI I am satisfied. 1.5 days usage or 2 days days if its light usage. I did factory reset though and I still think the software can be optimised more.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Quantumlogic:
Nope European..

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] mast3rchi3f:
I have fixed the drain problem, it was a sense theme, after cleaning the cache the problem was gone.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Quantumlogic:
Good to hear!
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] ferdzso:
what exactly was the issue? which cache did you clean? just the app, or phone cache in recovery? how did the drain appear, under cell standby drain?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galactus:
How do you know it was the theme. Please explain
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] mast3rchi3f:
After cleaning cache and data from home sense, my battery improved alot. Home sense was using around 29% (805mah), changed for Nova launcher and it was the same. The only thing common on both was a theme for navbar.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] International_cow:
In developer options I have turned off always on mobile data as it appears to be an Oreo default. I've noticed a difference with that.

:D
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] BroodjeBami:
I have to say that my battery never reached such high SoT.... The max I got was 4-5 hours of full day on WiFi. The weird thing is that Google Chrome used the most battery life by far each time (~30%). Anyone else had this problem?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] BroodjeBami:
Oops... Double post...
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] andreipaval:
Hello, I'm curious, what apps did you use when you reached 12 hours of screen on time ?

I barely get to 6h. Thanks
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
YouTube, Kiosco, Chrome and WhatsApp mostly; no games. I was on WiFi.

;)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] andreipaval:
That could explain it. Thanks.

I am half the time on not so good 4G signal, and do play a few games.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
Usually when I go mixed usage between Wi-Fi and 4G, I can get around 7-8 hours at least over 2 days.

Phone has really good consumptions and stand by time is also on point.

;)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] andreipaval:
I just got 6 hours SOT over 2 days with mixed Wifi and 4G, social apps, videos, and some games for a small time.

Still, your usage seems impressive. What version of phone do you have?, Dual-SIM, 6 GB, 128 GB, European ?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
Yes, all of those.

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] cetesalinas:
WTF! how can you do this?? Specially using only 4g and 2 sims!! Can you explain you configuration and your disabled apps ?
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] w8s:
nothing special

brightness 25%

vibration off

location off

bluetooth off

nfc off

wifi off

only one disabled app is Google VR services

Camera app is the most battery killer for this device if used much

stock 1.24.401.2
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] enyaj:
I noticed on your apps usage you don't have Facebook and Facebook messenger. So maybe FB apps are really the battery killer apps? I can barely get to 5hrs SOT.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] w8s:
I dont use facebook apps cant comment on that, my daily using apps shown in screen shoot
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Thats insane if its true.

However adding up the apps screen on time.does not equate to your screen on time. Also this surely isn't heavy usage.

Another interesting point is its mobile data and you got a ridiculously high amount of screen on time
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Hubi75:
Yes, I can confirm that I have very similar SOT on my european U11+.

Usually 8-10h SOT with about 30% brightness and about 70% usage on WiFi.

Maximum I reached was 10.53h SOT, only on WiFi.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Is that rooted or stock?

I have a Pixel 2 XL which has decent battery life. If I push it on wifi i will get 9 hrs SOT. I don't see how the U11 plus can almost get 11 hrs SOT. It might have a bigger battery but the pixel is running best of Android will OLED panel. Nevertheless HTC have done a great job with the U11 PLUS. Credit where its due. I don't think i csn go to another phone after using the Pixel XL 2.

I have used various phones LG 2, LG 4, SAMSUNG S4, NOTE 5, S7 EDGE, NOTE 8, SONY XZ PREMIUM AND FINALLY THE PIXEL XL 2. MY FAVORITE TWO AEE PIXEL 2 XL AND XZ PREMIUM.

Both devices have been lag free with nice battery life. The screen on the sony xz premium is the best I have seen absolutely stunning. The pixel is very smooth and a joy to use

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Woow thats great result. Didn't expect that much especially on a LCD panel. Comes pretty close to the Mate 10 pro. Advantages of the Mate 10 pro are OLED screen and a more efficient SOC. Nevertheless this is excellent screen on time as most phones don't even come close to this.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Ramid15@gmail.com:
Ok guys I have both phones ... The u11plus and the mate 10 and no way mate 10 is as good as the u11plus plus

Let me explain

U can get 8 hours sot from the mate 10 yes but u have to Sacrifice the functionality and use the emui to close all the background apps. So no notifications from Ur social media or emails or even apps updates . When u use it as a normal phone and let everything work u won't get 4 hours sot. While the u11plus plus I get between 6 and 7 hours without greendying or closing any of my favourite apps and either way the standby time is better in the u11plus plus.

So apple to apple, this is much better when it comes to battery life
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] DanteGR:
Best battery life I got from any phone I have owned until now.

Simply spectacular.

Everything on. Location high accuracy, FB, Messenger, Viber, Whatsapp, Twitter, Instagram etc.

Amazing.

[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] andreipaval:
I have terrible standby drain, basically the phone never truly sleeps, it is kept awake on a low CPU frequency by Kernel (Android OS).

This is what I see in GSam, and I lose 20% battery over one night (8 hours).

This is why my battery life is somewhat 4 h SOT over 24 hours.

And I think this device should be capable of double that, maybe 7 h SOT over 24 hours.

Anybody else see this king of behaviour ?

I reset application preferences and now the smartphone seems to go into deep sleep (Doze)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] quagmire1234:
Had pretty bad standby battery drain recently on my U11+ and did 2 things that seemed to have fixed it.

1) Cleared cache on HTC Doze

2) Ram Boost+ for the first time and then enabled Smart Boost

Did these ard 12hrs ago and standby drain seemed to have improved a lot. Will report in a few days to let you guys know if it's really fixed for me or not.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
Is a known issue and HTC is already working on it.

So far, they recommend to reboot the phone every 1-2 days to prevent this.

;)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] rva60481:
Reboot everyday !?!

It's a boring solution... and not the solution for my problem.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
It is the workaround HTC recommended until they release the update with the fix.

:)
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] gm007:
I'm not having any standby drain even without rebooting my phone.
[HTC U11+ Real Life Review] andreipaval:
You have 3,5 hours of SOT from 29% battery ?, and with 11 hours off the carger.

At this rate you will get more that 10 hours of SOT.

This seems almost unreal to me... I don't even have half of that, with medium use...

Please share more... settings, apps, how do you do it ?

Hope review unit of gsmarena was faulty.

And even battery life is completely disaster and totally unacceptable for almost 4000 battery capacity.

It’s lower than all device out there with 3000 it’s even worse than 2700 battery capacity of Sony XZ1.
