It's a 45W charger from Inateck, it's pretty nice, but I don't know the exact product name

It also charges my Dell laptop at a high speed
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
The P20 Pro charges plenty fast. I haven't had the opportunity to use the super charge yet but so far I'm satisfied.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ivica122:
If you didn't use super charge you haven't seen fast :)

Super charging goes like this:

- from 0 to 80% = 45 minutes

- from 80 to 90% = 10 minutes

from 90 to 100% = 30 minutes

that last step is a bit long but they did it because of battery health, to make battery live longer. So you can charge your phone from 0 to 90% in 55 minutes. That is fast.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] a500user2013:
I have a P20 pro, so when it's 'supercharging' does the display indicate anywhere? At the moment I get 'Quick Charging' and a little icon in the battery indicator in the top right of the display?

The charger mentions '5v/2A' or '9v/2a' - and is a Huawei Quick Charge charger - how do we get to 'Super Charge' ? None of my Huawei chargers indicate that (I have one from a P9 and one with my P20 as well as an apparently official one but with an EU plug- I'm in the UK)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ivica122:
Yes, you should see animation that says "super charging" when you plug your charger cable. Also, the lightning that indicates charging should be doubled (not like letter "z" bit double "z"), check the screenshot.

If your charger support 5A charging i think you have wrong cable. Cable must be capable for super charging. Do you have original cable with purple endings?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] a500user2013:
I've never seen it saying 'Super Charging' on the lock screen like that. Actually I checked and my other charger mentions it's a super charger on it and has the 3 options for A/V but no I don't have or never got a purple cable. The battery icon definitely changes for 'Quick charge' from the normal 'Z'

It doesn't even 'quick' charge with the original cables. I have a cable which does but that's not an official Huawei one
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] ivica122:
Ok, then that's your problem, need to find original cable. Or non-original but that supports super charging (purple ends). I bought cheap but couple of good cable on aliexpress, it was less then 2$ each, good cables, type "Robotsky 5A Type C Cable" and you'll find them. Or try to buy near you somewhere.

One more info, Huawei P20 Lite and P30 Lite don 't support super charging so if you are searching for original cables make sure that you buy for P20/P20 Pro, not for P20 (P30) LIte.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] a500user2013:
I've got it working with Supercharge now, the icon shows like a double zigzag on the charging icon - see orange screenshot. Quick charge shows with the tiny bolt next to the normal one - see blue screenshot
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] joao.feathers:
Hi, i can not has supercharge on my Phone. I clean up Phone already, try different cable and charger but nothing. Yesterday I measure with ampere and i just got 1800mA. What can I do? Thanks in advance.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
What % is your phone at whilst you're charging?

I've noticed it slows significantly when it gets to the later part of 100%

Beyond that, clean the port properly, check all fittings.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDA_RealLifeReview:
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Huawei P20 Pro before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] AndsXDA:
I got my P20 pro yesterday, actually SOT is 5h46min.

And left 29% Battery

I love this p20 pro :)

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] potblack2win:
Screen on time can be misleading.

For instance, watching a YouTube video over WiFi consumes less battery than browsing through the web using a browser on the p20 pro.

The same can also be said with Whatsapp and facebook
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] spindowski:
I have the phone for about 10 days now and in the beginning I wasn't too impressed with battery-life and screen on time averaging about 4-5 hrs.

Since a couple of days I've seen a nice increase in screen on time with an average of about 8 hrs or a bit more. I guess it took some time for the NPU to figure out what apps I used frequently and which ones can be dozed in the background. . I also installed Blokada which might positively impact battery life as well.

Altogether i'm pretty satisfied and look forward to future firmware updates to see the full potential of the amazing phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] spindowski:
.120 update is settling in pretty nicely.. yesterday got 9 hr 38 min SOT with 11% battery left.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] donatinho:
Wise words. Of course, the screen is ON when you use the phone, but it's also what you are DOING that makes battery drain faster or slower. I sincerely doubt anybody just turn screen on, and keep watching icons :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] reppi:
I've recently updated from 107 to 128 and battery performance got MUCH better. Both idle drain and active usage. Pretty happy with it. I think 120 might me pretty much the same concerning battery. Had about 0.3%/h drain overnight with wifi on. With 107 it was about 0.8%/h.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
Just got my p20 pro on 11 June. Upgraded from Samsung note 5. I have Samsung Gear s3 paired to the phone, and anti theft app running. I would say overall battery life is good, but can be better.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
Most I've had is 10 hours on this phone, but my one plus 5.

14 hours 20 mins.

Stuck kernel xXx ROM.

I haven't properly debloated this phone yet but I'll get around to it.

Definitely not as well optimised as stock type ROMs, will measure SOT at some point properly, take screenshots etc.

You should make a leaderboard see who gets what.

The high one I got on the Oneplus 5 I was mostly reading up on the internet and making calls, texting, playing wordscapes. Just kept going lol.

Reckon this phone could beat that though.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
I don't know why for some reason my screen on time is pretty weak. The longest I hit was about 5hrs45mins. I have several heavy apps like PUBG, Mobile legends, Samsung Gear and its related apps, Bluetooth on whole day coz of the watch and anti theft app that will probably be running in the background.

I have seen this constant weak SOT in the phones I've used. No idea why.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
The same issue here. I'm reading about those 8H+ SOT and I'm wondering... HOW? The app that drains the most (according to the battery usage) is instagram, and even that I don't use that much. I still get 4-5H SOT, and I can't imagine getting more than that...
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
Judging from your screenshots, seems quite okay. Maybe you can try manually manage Instagram app? 5hrs+ SOT at 38% I think u can hit 6hrs or even more. Do you play games? If not, 7hrs should be achievable.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
Where do you see 5hrs+ at 38? I see SOT 2H and 38% remaining.... meaning I'll probably reach 4 hours at most? And no, I don't play games.. I barely used phone tbh. Took few photos, searched through instagram, used some youtube and that's it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
Oops. Typo. 4hrs+ from GSAM app.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
About that.... reached 18% before I started charging again. Ended up with 3H SOT. this is such a shame, really. I'm thinking about doing hard reset of the phone tonight, if that helps. Screenshot attached
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
Before you do a hard reset, read this post first and try out. I think there are good feedback after a few tried the settings. I tried the settings as well and still reviewing it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
I have done that before. Left messenger and facebook on though. Also my P20 started acting weird after I disabled Facebook to run in the background...I left messenger ON and Facebook OFF, but the final result was quite opposite. I still got the notifications from Facebook and the messages from messenger were blocked. The OP mentions to delete messenger and facebook, but if they were the biggest cause for drain, that would be shown in "Battery Usage" wouldn't it be? However they were both waaay behind Instagram, System UI, etc.

I already did factory reset. Now I will slowly install apps one by one to see how the phone reacts to this. Might as well skip messenger and Facebook completely, and install Friendly as suggested by the OP of the post you posted. Hopefully what I'm dealing with is not a hardware issue (weak battery).

Will probably disable AOD as well, face recognition, location, etc.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] skyred5:
Errr... Messenger ON and Facebook OFF is kind of silly bcoz u need fb to use messenger. I have both off.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
I don't think you do. You can install messenger without facebook if you wish to use it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Semper80:
I have 9h SOT +
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
What are your settings? Anything special?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Sc00p007:
Is that over an average of 4days 19. 2hrs? I normally get 7-7.5hr over 2 days.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Semper80:
Nope. Just normal use. I have 6-7 h SOT all time: WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, Games, HBO Go, browsing, etc.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
To be fair I had GSam installed 2 days before I did factory reset. I never got through 1,5 days with more than 3H SOT.

I did factory reset this morning, reinstalled apps: instagram, viber, etc. (not facebook+messenger) and something really strange happened... Not gonna go too much into it. Just take a look at the screenshots below:

All of the screenshots taken at the same time, however Gsam shows 3H 40min SOT with 74% remaining, and the P20pro battery usage info shows 1H 36min SOT. so... which of these two is now lying?...
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Sc00p007:
3hr40 after a days use and 74% seems like the incorrect one. Bit high, so at 50% you wouldnt be far off or on 7hrs.

The huawei one seems more realistic. 74% 20hrs 1.35hrs seems on par. 10-15% for 20hrs on. 10-15% for 1.5hr screen time. That is about what i get.

~20-30% for 2 days, 70-80% for 7-8hr screen
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Federicadr:
For sure the Huawei one is a bit more accurate. Gsam needs root and companion app to be accurate enough.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
That would make sense indeed. However, before I did factory reset, it showed almost the same SOT as Huawei. Anyway... now it's been used for 1D 6H since last charge, and I'm on 2H 6MIN SOT with 63% remaining. However that's still far from 8 hours that people are getting. Especially considering I have almost nothing installed that works in the background.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Federicadr:
Well it's been used for one day and 6 hrs already, it's a great result..these are my screens. I usually do 1d 4-5h and 5-6hrs sot time. For me is already perfect how it is.

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] kabirjedi:
Heavy use here:

4-5 hour sot(sometimes 6) Great
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Sc00p007:
If someone gets 9 hrs in 1 day at full discharge, they are not going to get 9hrs sot if the full discharge takes 2 or 3.

Using my rough guide your numbers seem fine. 2hr sot adter 30hrs at 63% would roughly equal 8-9hr screen on time if at full discharge in 30hr.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] olygopoly:
just got mine yesterday.. noob question.. how do we check the sot on p20 pro ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] gn0s1s:
not sure if you sorted out your sot, but looking at the gsam stats, you have some big wake lock issues, 2.3 hours screen and .25 hours phone, but almost 4 hours awake, thats 1.5 hours of wake time on the phone in the background. Find my phone for google is sometimes the culprit, could be fb or viber as well.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
Hey, thanks for your reply! I did factory reset, installed apps again, and it seems like SOT is much better. Getting 2D 15H of battery life with 4-5H SOT (medium usage). I will install some battery monitoring app again so you can review whether the wake lock issue is still present. Also, after I had done factory reset, I disabled Find my Phone and Face recognition.. Also location is most of the time off.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] worldsoutro:
A little disappointed to be honest. The battery life is good but not that good.

I get great SOT but I also get around the same SOT on my pixel 2 xl and Oneplus 5T.

I just thought with 500-700 more Mah and a 1080 screen I would get a bigger boost in SOT
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] lfpecoraro:
You must go Settings -> Battery -> Battery Usage -> Hardware -> Screen
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Max2thecore:
Auto brightness off, always at 50%

Bluetooth and NFC off

Wifi Off when screen is off

Auto rotation off

Background apps limited to 2

Screen on FHD+

White theme

Lift phone to wake

I had 5 to 5.5hrs SOT

I dropped the display to HD+ and get 6.5 to 7hrs

And those SOT are mostly 1-2hrs of youtube + 5ish hrs of Spotify ( not via bluetooth )

I can't even get my phone to drop under 15% before going to bed at 10pm and I unplug my phone at 5:30 when I leave for work.

I think by using 3rd party lighter Facebook/Messenger, using a black theme and wallpapers, lowering brightness to 25%, lift to wake off, limit background apps to none, I could probably get at least 0.5 to 0.75 hrs SOT but I think the way it is is completely fine. At least for me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] PartheevP:
Wasn't initially impressed. Was averaging around 5hrs SOT. However after a week of using and ensuring that I'm manually managing apps I'm averaging between 7 to 9 hours SOT. With medium to heavy usage.

I think it takes the AI chip a little while to figure out usage patterns.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
I'm confused. You mentioned manual managing apps then AI usage patterns. AI works only if app management is left on auto, isn't that correct?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] PartheevP:
I'm not 100% sure how the AI functionality works. Some optimisations may be behind the scenes. But what I can say that after a week i most definately see the difference. Will post some screenshots today.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Now using the phone for 6 weeks, never get more than 3.5 - 4h DOT and a total of maybe 2D of battery life with moderate usage. I turn off sync, wifi, bluetooth and mobile data during the night. Not really impressed.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] wort11:
Same here. Exactly the same! I'm getting like 4.5 MAX, however everything is AUTO mode and BT OFF, Mobile data on, wifi on, location off.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Could you do me a favor? Could you please download GSam Battery Monitor from the Playstore (Free) and run this for a day? Then, please report back what is using most of your battery. In my device, it's the Android System itself which permanently hogs around 30% and the Android Kernel joins in at 14%. That's quite a bit and it should be much, much less. I think this is the reason for the bad battery performance, but so far, I haven't been able to identify the exact culprit.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] subhani:
[youtube]UqNuMqMiTVw[/youtube]

The P20P still leading the flagships on battery life.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] AlexRocker:
I have exactly the same issue. It must be just bad optimisation but I also can't find any way to improve this and I have tried every tip out there. I can't get more than 6hours of SOT. One day I don't know what happened and I got 9 but then the next it dropped at 5-6 again...
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
I am currently investigating this issue. For ME, it's an issue with ts_wake_lock, which I suppose is an issue with the touch screen. Also, the motion sensor seems to be registering millions of movements over the course of several hours, even when the device rests in an empty room, not being touched at all. There is something wrong with either the sensors itself or with the software. However, a few factory resets (even low level) didn't solve this problem. In save mode, it doesn't appear, the question is IF it's just not being registered (due to the Huawei Apps deactivated) or if it doesn't even happen in save mode. I'm on it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] nde123456:

Have you turned off the setting to have the phone wake up when raised? [MENTION=9213377]all the pugs[/MENTION]
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] all the pugs:
Yes, I have. It's one of the few conveniences I don't want to lose. However, I have disabled it a while back for a day and it didn't make any difference, so I think it's probably not the cause.

Logging out from the device (Google) does seem to eliminate the problem (like using the phone in safe mode), however, this turns the smart phone into a dumb phone without any GApps working (no Gmail etc.)... The fun thing is, my husband's Honor 10 (with very similar specs regarding processor, OS and EMUI) runs great for 4 days straight without any problem and I have two brand spanking new P20 Pro's which both show the same problem (very short DOT with very little usage). So the error must be either me or anything related to my Google Account.

Since the 152 update, it's as if the phone has been learning what i use and has been optimizing things.

I had an incredible screen on time of 17 hours over the space of nearly 3 days, here's the original post.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77571555&postcount=191

Previously on my oneplus 5 i made a leaderboard for people to post their SOT, so long as proof was provided (basically what i posted there as well as the application list)

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/how-to/screen-time-leaderboard-post-longest-sot-t3780178

14 hours 30 minutes is what i managed and i was down to 3% i believe

Strangely both of these times (1+5 and P20Pro) were measured when i was at home unwell over the weekend, not sure what that could mean though, perhaps it's the signal from the mobile masts, as they're not far away from my house and the phone doesn't have to work hard to get the signal out, or google isn't tracking me as i'm stationary :D

On both occasions i was gaming and using a bunch of apps, a lot of browsing on the Oneplus 5, wifi on, bluetooth on, 4G, GPS etc.

Should make a leaderboard here too.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] subhani:
Cell reception is definitely worse when moving about or when out. I lose 2 hours of SOT to being out and about. Luckily I work from home so I can avoid that most of the time. Collecting kids or going shopping doesn't put a dent in the battery life. I'm still not getting anywhere near your numbers man! My single best result was 9.5 hours SOT. On average it is more like 7.5-8hours. Which is fine by me for a single day. I mean, in order for me to stretch that performance out over two days, I'd need to get 17 hours SOT to play with over two days. Which is what you managed. Congrats.

Show your app list.

Don't use FF so couldn't tell you, chances are it's something else.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] subhani:
You are likely in a low or unstable reception cell signal area or you are constantly on the move, mobile and outdoors.

If you are stationary on WiFi all the time, the SOT will be MUCH higher.

Are you using a VPN or similar ad blocker? Onion routing all your data in and out?

[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
It's pretty efficient tbh, it would depend on what app is in use, Google maps use data and WiFi too so a lot.

Copilot on the other hand only uses GPS so it should last a lot longer.

Tbh when I'm in the car I have a charger so I'm.nit sure.

You would also have to factor in, ROM, app content and settings, network efficiency and cell tower distance, they'll all play a part in stamina.

No two devices will be the same unless they're travelling together on the same network with the same settings and apps.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Theandroidfan:
It's definitely very efficient. My phone was used as a Satnav as both my friends iPhones ran out and not only did Google maps choose a quicker route than Apple maps, it also barely drained the battery lmao.

Thanks for sharing your SOTs!

Before I come to the point writing here, a short summery of my latest experience:

I coming from a HTC10 and use a Cubot X18 Plus right now.

That was a 3000mah battery vs 4000mah battery ...

I really have to tell ... I am enjoying the bigger battery more than the faster and better phone right now.

x18 was only a backup while changing battery and screen of th htc, now I am still stuck to it... Only hating the cheap camera and sound.

With the x18 I get waaay longer SOT and standby times. I can use the phone as normal as I used the 10 when it was new and still get at least 2 days from one charge.

tl;dr: I experienced the QOL improvements of a bigger battery vs the joyment of a better phone.

So I am asking, if you still get more than 2 days of medium use, even if the device is now already ~1 year old?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] dlads:
Depends on usage but it'll clear a day easily, I've had mine since may but I do keep it light. Currently on AOSIP and it's running brilliantly.

I had the HTC 10, great phone, camera was decent on it. Just hated the sapphire glass on the lens, always got rays in shots
