Im reaching about the same SOT. Loving the battery stats.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Macblack1991:
So just hit the 10h SOT with 11% left, gotta sleep now tho... Great battery life! Screen brightness is on Auto, display color on adaptive, LTE/4g on, been using 4g for about 5hours straight and the rest was wifi.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Interesting. I am going to try disabling adaptive battery also.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Swimguy14:
Just did the same. The best SOT I have had is about 7.5 hours
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] robbieast:
Why would disabling adaptive battery give better SOT?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] klaymaniaf:
All stock, non rooted. All social apps, and a lot others.

Best battery i ve had on any phone I used since and used a lot of them.

OOS 9.0.11 + Stock kernel

full 4G+FB 、IG 、Spotify 、Bluetooth using
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] ..Cory..:
T-Mobile OP6T converted to International via the new method running OOS 9.0.11 + ElementalX kernel (latest January 3rd).

This is a moderate usage day for me, a work day, so usage was not super heavy nor super light. As you can see, I DO have adaptive battery on, but will try for a few days with it off after seeing posts on the last couple pages.

This phone is GREAT! I came from the Galaxy S8 and I don't regret it at all! This is the first phone I owned that had to be charged every OTHER night. My only complaint is the quality of the images but I did come from the Galaxy S8 so I was spoiled before. But I'm not a heavy picture taker anyway. :p

I would have let the battery drain more but I need a full charge for work the next couple days.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] F5:ed:
I believe (almost) all depends on your use - and what apps you prefer. My "proof" is the excellent SOT I got of around 13 h .... (see pic's) so you can trust me or not.

Playing heavy games will use heavy battery use.... but:

I have also seen that my preferred browser - Firefox - generates more heat (=use more battery) than Kiwi. Kiwi is a very good chromium (Google Chrome) based browser. Although I prefer Firefox 24/7 because of all great extensions GC-based browsers still can't compete with, it bothers me. The average heat according to the app CPU-Z is on my device around 39-40 C with Kiwi and 43-44 C with Firefox >>> and that heat will of course make differences in battery consumption.

In addition, minimize the ambient display (and disable auto mode) will help, as well as using a dark theme. To complete "the darkness" the app Swift Installer is a great option (if you are rooted).

Use Battery Optimization, and Adaptive (Smart) Battery option.

My 2 cents.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] bnutz8:
Still going strong. Just converted my TMobile to international and switched to Beta this morning. Even after two updates the battery is great. Will watch it over the next few days to see how it compares to TMobile stock.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Stateofstatic:
Been on international version after switching from T-Mobile stock rom for a week...4hrs of playing pokemon go today and I'm finally at 9% with 8hrs 8min screen on time. Literally insane.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] lendawg:
Here is my usage and has been consistent for my last few charge cycles. TMobile variant converted to international 9.0.11. I turned off adaptive battery and battery drained noticably faster (like at the percent I'm at now I had about 3 1\2 hours sot) so I turned back on. Deep optimization on...sleep optimization on. No problems with apps I'm using in the background closing. I am very happy with battery at the moment.

Why did not you put the battery graph too??
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] F5:ed:
I switched to OB3 from stock .11. Since then I have noticed two things:

1. The SOT has decreased with approx 25-30% (I got 12-13 h before, now with beta around 8 h), and

2. the heat while charging has increased to very hot.

I would like to know if other users than me has experienced the same.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] DinoBuaya:
You are the best person I can turn to for stats and variances. Am also always on LTE due to lack of good wifi at work and most of the time I have to move around a lot so cant be parked by a wall charger.

I don't tend to set the brightness over 40% on most phones, on my Note 4 I tend to have it at 25-30% while on auto or maybe just 15% on non-auto brightness. I use WhatsApp, web Browsing, Reddit app and from time to time Youtube at 360p/480p. Do you have some experiences to share that might come close to that sort of usage? I was hoping for 7-8 hrs of SoT worst case over a span of say 8-9 hours all on LTE especially when traveling on the bus for atleast 6-7 hrs once I leave work on Fridays.

Thank a lot man!
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Yup I am still using my phone as I was before. Everything enabled and LTE all the time. A lil WiFi at home but I'm hardly there. I just finished my last cycle at 25% with 6h15m with 32h off charger.

I still have no clue how people are getting 10+ hours of SOT with 48+ hour cycle. I have gone 2 days but my SOT was no where near 10+ hours.

However, I'm more than happy with my battery life. Stock 9.0.11 rooted with stock kernel.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mab71:
No graph no talk
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] DinoBuaya:
I went through this entire thread, it seems to me these outstanding numbers were all majorly WiFi based. Alteast their usage graph and GSam screens implied as much.

4G/LTE modems are a huge battery drain when properly used for the types apps we use on a daily basis.

Your 6hr and 15mins out of 32hrs with 25% left all on LTE, I feel, is very good and good enough for me. I'll just wait on OnePlus's next 5G phone launch to see if they will release it with beefed up battery to say 4000mAh. LG is already pretty much set on increasing their battery capacity to account for the 5G modem being a major battery guzzler.

With OnePlus's great take on stock Android along with battery optimizations, such a 5G phone would be ridiculously good when set to use LTE/HSPA+ only mode. However it's also expected to not be cheap but that's ok.

If they don't launch it with a bigger battery, well the OnePlus 6T will probably get price cuts and that also good. :)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sruel3216:
Yes I am satisfied with my battery life. 4000mah on this phone would be the sweet spot. 2 day battery life for sure every cycle (not that I need it, but would love it). It's nice LG is setting the standard. I do not care to have a slim phone. I'll take an extra mm or two of thickness for more battery.

I'm not too set on a 5g phone next. It will be pricey for Verizon too. 4g is plenty fast where I am. I'll def get the OnePlus 7t when it comes out if it's not that stupid slider rumor lol.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] ..Cory..:
Update! Unfortunately I got the flu before the weekend and haven't been on my phone much because I've been sleeping or I'm on meds lol. But I picked up my phone this morning to find out I haven't charged my phone in a while. Here's the stats currently...

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] robbieast:
Yes how do they get 13 hours of sot with 3 days off the charge.

Like you gotta he disabling many things to achieve that with the size of our battery. I don't understand how that's attainable with serious neutering of the phone with unrealistic usage
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] robbieast:
I think 6-7 sot is the normal for 2 days of usage
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] mikky986:

[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sarkar_007:
Could it be possible that our phone batteries have begin deteriorating? It has been almost 2 months since I bought and began using my op6t.

For the last 3-4 days my SOT has dropped by 30-60 minutes. No new apps, no change in usage pattern. Therefore I suspect that battery deterioration may have started. I, thankfully, don't have the dreaded 'google play services eating up the battery' issue. Still my SOT has definitely reduced albeit by a small amount. What do you guys think?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Marine41991:
Do you think it happens that quickly?

I would never see any SOT below 9 hours with my usage whereas I'm seeing it quite often now. Hoping it'll be better with new update.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] sarkar_007:
I haven't updated to 9.0.11. I stayed on 9.0.7 because I was getting excellent battery life, but it has gone down in the past week or so. No changes to my phone were made. Same apps, same usage.

Great battery life on my 6T on both cellular and wifi.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] F5:ed:
In my opinion the beta-versions (have tested b3 and b4) are battery drainers, besides other limitations, so stay away from the beta-program for now.

I returned to the stock .11 version. Happy again!

Just enjoy your freaking phones people, things don't last forever so what... You aren't immortal either. 5-6 hours of screen on time per charge is more than sufficient. What are you doing all day that you need to accumulate 6+ hours of screen staring time. I mean sure we all like videos and games and stuff, but relax you're doing just fine and I'm sure your eyeballs will thank you for not achieving 48 hours of screen-on-time.
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] puma99dk|:
The OnePlus 6T got the best battery life I seen on one of my smartphone no matter if it's been android or ios based device, I got mine a week ago and I used the weekend to figure out how much juice it had without battery saving mode of cause.

I got 25hours life out of the battery with 10hours and 39mins of screen on time with 1% battery to spare that's really amazing :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] F5:ed:
I got 15h and 20m SOT with 1% left, total 42h run - this is by far my best SOT ever! :D

Normal usage, only wifi.

Rooted, stock OOS 9.0.11, kernel https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/development/kernel-t3861123

My last "record" was 13h and 15min without this kernel, 2 hours less, so I guess the kernel has a big impact.

I runned the AnTuTu benchmark 2 times. I lost approx 1% in performance with the kernel (got 294.000, "normal" is 297.000), but I honestly felt the opposite that it runned faster with this kernel = highly recommended!
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Marine41991:
Are you using custom or regular Blu spark kernel?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] F5:ed:
I don't know the difference (You tell me?), I just flashed the kernel (version #68). I have installed the EX kernel Manager too, but left it untouched as I didn't understood anything.... :o

----

Edit:

A look in the tread shows there is a big difference in SOT among users. Some of us just get 4h, and others like me get 15h. I wonder why? I can't believe it's a manufacturing issue of the OP6T nor the battery itself....

I have pointed out some of reasons behind the differences:

1. usage pattern - of course

2. heavy gaming (or not)

3. network connection (the quality of the reception)

I guess you can influence it to a point, and this is what I have done: changed to a dark theme, reduced the adaptive brightness (to a manual setting around 50%), used energy efficient app's where there is an alternative e.g. Kiwi is a great browser. I have also rooted my OP6T, the rooting itself doesn't save energy I guess, but app's like AdAway (who block ads) do have an impact, I do not use social media apps like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, etc and I believe they are some heavy battery drainers.

I have also seen that the change to a different kernel did improved the SOT.

What is your thoughts? What else can we do?
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] efkka23:
9.0.12 perfect for me :) 2 days withuot charge with Bluetooth location on that is briliant ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Real Life Review] Sharma_Ji:
Network connection is a big issue and that i have encountered in this phone only, as soon as it left idle, it switches to 3G from 4G and i feel 1+ had done something to save battery, it's very annoying to turn on/off airplane mode again & again just to connect to 4G.

And that's the reason 1+ had designed the airplane mode animation in the quick settings panel:laugh:

It's not that bad with 7h SOT, if you compare with other people in the thread.

Btw, I tried beta 3 and 4 but in my opinion these betas drained the battery more than .11 or .12 - I have returned to stable again.

You could also try that kernel I use - it makes wonders on my battery life :) :good:

Here's my results: 3 days and 6 hours unplugged.

Used very slightly, only replying on WhatsApp and Telegram, no intensive Spotify streaming or intensive Chrome surfing.

Under Wi-Fi most of the time, by the way mixed LTE+Wi-Fi through the day.

On airplane mode during night, using black theme everywhere when it's possible (WhtsApp anyone?).

OOS 9.0.12, Blu Spark kernel #68, using Naptime, Servicely and Franco Kernel Manager.

Using Naptime default settings, blocked every app on Servicely except WhatsApp and Telegram (why should I leave Amazon or eBay app free to wake up my phone?), set to -25 % frequencies on Franco Kernel Manager under Battery Life Lab section, I'm not a die-hard gamer, I really don't need all that power.

Disabled auto-brightness, set around 50 %.

Everything working fine and smooth, notifications, alarms, Spotify streaming on screen off and incoming calls.

I forgot to activate GPS geolocation, I turned it off a few days ago for some reason and forgot to reactivate it.

This is simply incredible.
