[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] vteccorp:
Finally a worthy successor to Android 8.1/OxygenOS 5.1.11.

OxygenOS 10.3.3 is buttery smooth and very responsive!

Despite the fact that after the first charge... 10% of the battery disappeared somewhere (at night the phones unexpectedly went out of deep sleep), now... after update of OP launcher and Samsung browser (two most suspicious applications according to previous BBS statistics) ...and after another fully charges everything looks very good!

It's a shame that in Android 10 there are no battery statistics like in 8.1... I had to manually type with ADB the appropriate permissions for BBS. Earlier a simple preview of a deep sleep was available in the battery statistics by itself.

Usually most part of SOT is active internet browsing on WiFi/4G (~80-90%) + messaging, calls, file stansfer and some music listening etc. (~10-20%).

I am always using dark theme, on OLED screens it always be good battery saver.

Now I always have 2... 2,5... up to 3 days in standby - as previously on Android 8.1 - not bad! :good:

For me, Android 9 from OnePlus has always been mediocre, so I returned to 8.1 three times. From now... I stay on OxygenOS 10. :D

I recommend 10.3.3 with a clear conscience! :)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Aka$h2002:
What's the guide you're talking about ?

I'm running OB 6 and using Greenify (Root+Xposed)

And NFS Injector module on bettery saver mode and getting only 5 hours of SOT

I'll appreciate any help from you ...

Thanks ?

Improving Battery Life on Android 10 [OOS][Non-Root]
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] bythelaw:
Tried this, barely any changes on my SOT. Is there a custom rom I can use for better battery life?

I'm getting around 5 hours of SOT, all bloat disabled and on stable stock oos, no root. Tried lineage is 17.1, Pixel Experience, and pixenOs, same 4-5hours SOT. Is pie better? Oreo? I'll do anything basically. Greenify helps?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Psk.It:
Checking with AIDA my phone stop chargin at 2880mah

the only way to longer the battery-life for me, was to switch to microG

Now i can have 6:30sot in 12 clock hours or 5:30sot over 2 days (i run always with mobile data, no Wi-Fi connection)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] david72262:
Edited reason Somehow XDA posted this to the entirely wrong thread really weird should have been posted in pixen thread for 6t

Maybe you need to start over with a clean flash battery is excellent
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] -sandro-:
What SOT are getting after 2 years?

Accubattery says I've lost about 17% of capacity. I usually only average 4.5H of SOT but I've never investigated why it's so low compared to others. I'm running all stock and my typical usage is telegrame, chrome and YouTube.

No apps in the background seem to drain the battery.

I would replace the battery but what's the point? Third party batteries won't work so you have to rely on batteries made in 2019 at the latest that probably already lost 15% of capacity due to shelf live losses.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] klucik47:
After 1.5 years of usage, got 4 hours sot at 20% of battery and thats 2 days without charging.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Shoaib Faraizi:
After 2.5+ years, easily get about 6H SOT. Always charged with stock charger and do not plug in until it's about 10% remaining and plug out until about 95% charged.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] tranceph0rmer:
Getting 8+ hours of SOT regularly on my 8gb model.

Running stock rooted and debloated 10.3.9 with ktweak enabled.

Full 4g on throughout, battery drain is also very less.

Extremely happy, this is after 3 yrs of regular use without battery change.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] pradeeppk:
Googleplay services are not shown in battery history, is it degoogled ROM.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] LeKeiser:
again, have you done a wipe cache?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] thejase:
I can't. I recharged for a new day today. Sorry. What would that show, though? Just curious.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] bhint15:
I agree all phones I've owned in the past I see people post huge SoT and I just don't get it. I'm getting around 4-5 hours max on OP6, which is what I got on my Mate 9 (4000Mah battery there) so so am impressed this is trying to keep up with that beast.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] foomanjackel:
Light use, lots of web using WiFi mostly. Location on device only, screen on auto brightness:
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] se7enlyn:
look at your battery graph that you posted. you are getting wakelocks.

possible reasons:

gps in active use, some app trying to locate your position

uploads/downloads, again some app doing that

maybe your snapchat???

try also disabling your proximity sensor

try turning off auto rotate screen

lastly, use betterbatterystats to find out in detail
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
how do you identify this?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Lord Alpha:
Any idea why am I getting such a poor SOT? I didn't play any heavy games. Just browsed Instagram and used messenger for an hour and Spotify for a while.

I was getting 7-8 hours SOT in the first 3-4 days, then it kept getting worse.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] meistr91:
Wiping cache would help in this case? Cuz im getting also 4-5hours of sot :o
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] vibrantliker:
What recovery are you using to wipe cache?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] worldsoutro:
Mimicing the usage against my o5/5t I am getting less sot.

I really believe op held back putting a larger battery in and saving that change for the 6t
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Cst79:
You have to realize that even the Note 8 only has a 3300 mAh battery while the S9+ has a 3500 mAh. It is very hard to fit a larger battery in a flagship because flagships have complex internal structures, large motherboards, etc. That's why midrange phones have large batteries, because they are simpler inside.

I would have traded the headphone jack for 300 mAh larger battery though.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
Dude it is not even remotely hard. All they had to do was make the phone slightly thicker.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Veestaai:
I am also getting 4-5 hrs of sot. Also getting the same graph(a straight downward line). Is it due an app that takes up battery in background? also how to use betterbatterystats? I don't how to use pls help. Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] se7enlyn:
Search for the betterbatterystats thread in xda
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AsturzioAugias:
Hi, op5 user here. I'm thinking of making the jump from oneplus 5 to oneplus 6 , someone knows if the battery life of op6 is better or at least on par with the op5 one? The reviews I found on the internet are mixed about that. My usage typically is 1-2 hours of youtube, 1-2 hours of music, and then whatsapp, browser and social apps, no games.

Thank you :D
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] tranemonk:
I had the OnePlus 5 and now the 6. I think the battery life is a little better. I typically get between 5 and 6 hours SOT. The difference for me between the phones are the faster 845, the gestures allowing you to get rid of the buttons and the near full screen appearance. I generally like the notch but wish it was a little more customizable in terms 9f which icons do show up, when enabled.

I also always prefer the fingerprint reader on the back not the front like the 5 has. Hope that helps.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] DSF:
Beside better call times, it's unfortunately a downgrade from op5. The battery life is kinda mediocre.

https://www.gsmarena.com/oneplus_6-review-1776p3.php
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
I'm really surprised that review didn't discuss the absolutely awful standby drain. Look at the stats for the 5T and 6:

OP5T: 82hr total - 22 talk - 10 browsing - 16 video = 34 standby

OP6: 76hr total - 27 talk - 9 browsing - 14 video = 26 standby

I can understand the difference in browsing/video times because the screen is bigger and they both have the same battery.

But what the hell is going on with that standby time? Something is wrong with this phone.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] worldsoutro:
I think this might be fixed in software but I am overall disappointed op didn't bump up the battery a little too accommodate a larger screen. I still think they are going to do it for the 6t
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] AsturzioAugias:
Well, I came here to ask this question because of this review (and other ones)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] ajsmsg78:
After about a week and on the new OOS 5.1.6 update I'm getting pretty good battery life. Here are screenshots of yesterday's battery life. I'm still at 17% battery right now and running Flash Kernel.

That's not necessarily true about why the batteries are small. Huawei has proved that.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] darkrai:
Facing worse Screen on Time after 5.1.6 update.

Anyone else facing the same problem?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] REAL6:
Can't complain. 7-8 hours sot for me.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Klanac89:
Yeah, like the Mate 10 or P20 Pro, with 4000 mAh, it's really hard.

Stereo speaker also and IP rating and IR... So hard to fit a larger battery :D
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Cst79:
Actually this is a good example. The Kirin 970 chipset has like 70% of the performance of the Snapdragon 845, so it most likely requires less cooling (smaller heat-spread components), less power (smaller power-related components), etc. It also has less overall features compared to the SD845, so basically a Kirin 970 implementation takes up less board space compared to a SD845 implementation. That's why they can fit a 4000 mAh battery inside.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Klanac89:
Haha :D

The Kirin is old (compare to 845), it's almost one year old but I can play anything with ultra settings and on speedtests sometimes the Kirin win, sometimes the 845, it's about ms, not sec.

I get one speaker more, the main speaker is 2 times better, I get IP rating, IR blaster and 20% MORE battery, 128GB for 500€.

I never get under 6h SOT after 24h using my phone, with playing games, like CoC and 2x 4G.

OnePlus just use small batterys, because it's cheaper, the device is under 8mm and they can say "dash charger is fast", because you need less time to fil up 3300/3400 mAh than 4000/4100 mAh.

Now you get a bigger screen/bigger device but still a smaller battery, still 1080p, still mono trash speaker, no IP, no IR, no ...
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
I think you have no idea what you're talking about. You can't judge standby drain while using your phone, dummy. That's not standby. Do us a favor and put down the phone at 100% charge for a couple weeks so we don't have to see any more pointless posts for a while.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
Wow, no need to be rude!

And I'd reread the GSM review if I were you. They DO test standby. The total is all figures combined.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] peter osoro:
This has to be the best battery consumption phone I've ever used, 5T is also impressive
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Matrix_19:
I'm always getting between 7 and 8 hours screentime on a full charge. For exemple, right my last charge is 14 hours ago and I have 3 hours screentime and I still have 60% battery left.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
You're calculating standby completely wrong nevertheless. You don't do total standby hours every full charge.... you charge the phone to 100% then unplug it for at least a couple days and check the estimated time left, OR you can just let it go until the battery dies then look at the stats, but that takes longer, although is obviously more accurate...
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] bauwoo:
SOT from a single charge 100-1 on 5.1.6. Heavy use. It's good. I had to mod my old S8+ 955W to a 955U1 image to get these results. I'm rooted with stock rom and kernal.

I'm very pleased with the switch from Samsung to OnePlus. Great company, product, software, and experience.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
Aright, a few things.

1 - I am not calculating anything. If it wasn't clear from my original post, those numbers come from the GSMArena review, not me. I don't even own a 5T to test.

2 - How do you know how GSM test their phones?

3 - Even if you had some beef with their testing methods, I would presume they were at least tested under the same conditions, so a comparison is fair. The 6 didn't last as long, end of story.

4 - Can I get an apology for you being rude AND wrong? Either that or 'Do us a favor and put down the phone at 100% charge for a couple weeks [sic] so we don't have to see any more pointless posts for a while'.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
You're unintelligent and wrong. You have no idea what you're talking about.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] MrJones2k:
Just finished a 6 hour drive, navigation done with Waze with constantly on mobile internet ... I am pretty happy!
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Vinegar Joe:
OK man, whatever. I don't see why you need to be so rude. Others were able to respond to my post without acting like a child. In fact one person was super helpful and actually created a battery guide :)

But I'm going to leave it at that's because we've disrupted the thread enough already.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] gmlogan:
No complaints, 5.1.6 2 full cycle
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] randomA:
Do you confirm that it's an urban legend the fact that letting a phone battery die to 0% and turn the phone off is actually damaging the phone?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] TheNetwork:
If letting your phone discharge to "zero" percent battery damaged it, the manufacturer wouldn't have allowed it. They would shut the device off before it got to 0. Hint: the battery still has like 3.4v when the battery meter reads 0.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] jwoody86:
Anyone worried about battery should relax. It's good enough.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] harry92008:
With everything enabled and no tweaks at all..I easily get 5 hours SOT with 24 hrs standby. Pretty happy with the performance considering my earlier S9 plus used to have 3-4 hours SOT and close to 13 hours standby after heavily tweaking the device. :)
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] rohitarora84:
Thanks for this

can you please share your tweaks, i am only getting 4hrs SOT max.

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] harry92008:
What is the standby time with 4 hours of SOT?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] rohitarora84:
Last full charge is 22hrs 30 mins. Standyby is 3% not sure how to get that in time.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] harry92008:
Sorry..I actually meant total time which is 22 hours 30 mins for you. Seems SOT is a little less. Check for any specific app consuming too much battery. Post a Screenshot of your battery consumption..
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] rohitarora84:
Sorryi am new to XDA, how do i add a snapshot to this thread, tried the app as well its saying BAD Request

Not sure.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] harry92008:
Take the screenshot. Then attach it using the attachment button. It would get displayed here.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] rohitarora84:

[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] harry92008:
Going by the screenshot ..it seems to be all right. Because I do not use apps like facebook, insta. These are battery hogs. To improve you might want to root and look at other Roms and Kernels. Otherwise your standby and SOT seem to be fine and should easily get you through the day. cheers!!

Notes:

I tested the battery saver feature and it was ON since 100% up until I took the screenshots. I do not use any social media apps - only Messenger Lite and Slack.

Overall I am very satisfied with the battery efficiency. I am on 5.1.8 currently.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] nkd:
its sort of ridiculous to say the battery life is mediocre. I have had this phone for a week and getting 6+ hours of screen on time. I have yet to get to less than 10% screen. May be some of you are not leaving the screen brightness on Auto. I think people need to stop comparing SOT and go by real usage. Does it matter what SOT you get if you still have battery life left at the end of the day? The phone is fast, has great screen, has great outdoor visibility, gets me through the day and on top charges quick. I have 57% battery left right now and I have used 3 hours and 56m of SOT time since last full charge. I do sometimes up brightness but mostly on auto. I try not using all these battery stats app, they probably use more than they need to. I am not sure may be those that are getting less SOT time are not connected to Wifi most of the day. Alot of factors could go in to this. I don't watch hours of videos on my phone. My usage is browsing, watching some youtube, streaming some music. But majority browsing and regular usage. I rather judge the phone on my usage habits than anything. So far its been great for me. 4 hours of SOT and still have 57% battery life left is not mediocre. Reviews can torture it but that doesn't reflect actual real world usage. Heck I am getting this with the white theme, adaptive display on and white screen to help with face unlock in dark areas.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] scottspa74:
After seeing this, I'm starting to wonder if these battery results are just because you use wifi only, almost. Not possible here in the US where we have no wifi.

Battery life has been truly amazing on this device. Rarely get under 6 hours of SoT unless I do something really intensive like 4k 60 FPS recordings. The screenshot provided is from today when I played a bunch of NDS titles on an emulator for probably 6 hours and the rest is taking photos, watching TV shows in VLC, using Snapchat and watching YouTube.

I'm on 5.1.8 and lately the battery life has gone very bad after update.

Just close to 2hrs and already 54% down. Is there a fix?

Also what would be the steps to install fresh 5.1.8 fine with data being wiped and everything from scrach. Like in op2 how it used to be wipe data, Sys and then install zip, how is that done here can we wipe system and data from twrp and then install zip?

I'm on 5.1.8 with twrp and Magisk active. Can someone help.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] tWoBrO:
I fixed mine by downgrading to 5.1.6.

Not saying 5.1.8 is bad, but clearly 5.1.6 is better battery wise.

Have you o intention to update until I see good feedback on battery. Let's see what next update will bring.

This battery is freaking awesome with casual usage!!!
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] JayG30:
First drain from 100% and I'm impressed. I'm a little user (texting, chrome, YouTube, Gmail, outlook email, few pictures, SoundCloud). I also don't do any crazy battery saving tricks. Default theme (don't really like dark), auto brightness because it works just fine for me, Bluetooth/NFC/WiFi/4G always on, lift to display on, GPS set to battery saver instead of high accuracy, don't use the turn on display when getting a notification.

This cycle was a lot of me setting up the phone (settings, configuration, apps, etc), few hours of YouTube, few hours of SoundCloud, few pictures, email, and txts. At 5% battery I'm at ~9hrs SoT and 27hrs since last charge.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] B1sakher:
mind sharing your Oxygen OS version ? is it 5.1.8 ?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] JayG30:
Yes I'm on 5.1.8

The camera seems to cause quick battery drain. Even a few minutes of usage can be substantial. I really don't use cameras often so not sure if that is normal.
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Zetacarinae:
Wow, when I see 9h SOT, I want to cry. The maximum I can do with mine is 6h SOT MAX, with dark theme, every app optimized, and not an heavy use (camera, chrome, messenger...).

Hi, I'd like to see how your OP6 drain battery through a full charge. I started a few days ago with 5+ hours of SoT without going below 30 % of battery remaining, now it's getting worse. I'm using pretty much the same apps (XDA, Instagram, Facebook, Chrome), max screen luminosity, dark theme, data always on (only data though, no Bluetooth or WiFi). What's your settings to get optimal battery life?
[OnePlus 6 Real Life Review] Haxival:
Here's a better view of the whole battery usage. Also I'm using Nova launcher and not the stock one.
