My bad i mean to send a link for free one

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
I'm having almost double that, so weird.

I wanted to post my SOT from yesterday but stupid security app is only tracking today

Anyway I'm on the 12.0.2 update
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] black_dott:
thats insane, and exactly whats expected with 5000mah, please keep the screenshots coming.. best i had is 9-10h sot.. everything turned off... ill try to turn off miui optimization.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
Don't know if it's that insane. Almost didn't touch phone this time, screen on time is mostly reading ebooks

Not tracking from 100% battery don't know why -.-
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] anon1135:
I believe it with 60hz+mostly wifi. A lot of other xiaomi phones get similar sot with just these two things on light~medium usage. I think that means almost anything that isn't game or camera at max brightness or lte. Text, browse, video don't drain much when I do those only. Not sure about calls. If I left something out I might be forgetting what else a phone can do

Also my preferred battery tracking app is Franco kernel manager because miui is weird but it isn't free on the playstore. Doesn't need root since you can give it adb permissions through pc
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] peeyaj:
Latest update fucxed up my battery life.. Got a measly 6 hrs SOT just browsing the web. There are so many bugs!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Slim K:
The display is not so great ?. 80% to 90% battery consumption (60Hz or 120Hz), which is absurd even for other phones!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] DutchSnake:
I have 120Hz on, but just updating to the last update Mi UI 12.0.2.0 browsing and some light gaming like clash of clans it does feels like it takes less power consumption then before the update. Still this is my assumptions, have to really confirm after a few day's.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Winchester73:
There has to be a problem with some devices.... For me the SOT actually improved since the last update, close to 15h now.

I'm definitely not a heavy user, but 120hz is always activated and energy saving only during the night.

Looking at AccuBattery, there seems to be a huge difference in screen off consumption between our devices: 0.6% vs. 3.2%

Have you updated to MIUI 12.0.2 yet?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Slim K:
Yes I have sadly. Maybe a factory reset will do the trick? Only problem is, I already applied for bootloader unlocking and am afraid resetting the phone will reset the count down with it (the 168h).

Also can I ask which version do you have? Mine is the EU version.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Winchester73:
Yes I also got the EU version. This is just crazy...

I don't know if the factory reset will help but in this case it's worth a shot I guess.

But before that try something another user suggested in this thread (post #13): Reinstall the last update package.

I did it and it didn't change anything (I guess because the SOT was already as it should be), but maybe it will do the trick for you.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Slim K:
Yeah I reinstalled and factory reset but nothing changed. Seems I must return this phone back. Thanks for the help anyways :highfive:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] craggss:
getting about 5 hrs SOT here also ,pretty poor for the battery size. Was expecting at least 8.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] wopr33:
Warning, the battery usage graph has a problem on all phones with MIUI 12: it only displays statistics for the last 24 hours!

So if you charged your phone more than 24 hours ago, the information you see, especially SOT, are incomplete!

For me for example:

- End of charging the phone at 20h yesterday.

- Today at 19h, SOT = 6:30

- Today at 22h, SOT = 5:42 !!!! (because statistics between 20h and 22h last night have been lost)

So if you want real usage statistics on a full charge cycle, you have to use a third-party application.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] rzat01:
Yeah I thought it was a glitch but looks like MIUI 12 issue. Or maybe those phones were not supposed to be on single charge for over 24h [emoji23]
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] fun4357:
67% left and about 4.5 hours of SOT used. Airplane mode ON, 120Hz, Slight debloat
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
Yep that's why my screenshots didn't count from 100%

Anyway here's some more SOT.

Miui optimizations off, I also uninstalled a lot of bloatware from miui, sync on wifi only

Normal usage today: some gps, data/wifi always on, 120hz, no games, mostly messenger, firefox
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
This is one of the worst battery life for a (NEW!!!) phone I've seen. But, honestly, I don't know what I expected for such a cheap phone. Going back to my old good oneplus 3 and putting this in a drawer.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] craggss:
Makes sense, last night I was on 19hrs with 4.35hrs SOT, this morning it's showing 3.1hrs.

Can you recommend a free app to run to get to test actual SOT please?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
I have amazing battery life, this coming from a redmi note 4.

60% battery now with 5h SOT + 20h standby
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
I'll give it one more chance by re-flashing the last update and doing a factory reset. For a 5000mAh battery it's unacceptable.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
Charged my phone yesterday.

120hz ON. EDIT: OFF

Data and Wifi ON

Gps always almost ON

Brightness Auto

Battery saver OFF

SOT 8h30 and 15% battery left,
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Nazri786:
Miui didn't track screen on time if more than 24 hours.... Been using since yesterday and still got 40% left on battery.... 48 hours and running....
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
Could you all post screenshots of your wellbeing stats?

Here's today usage with 120hz ON

Edit: my wellbeing has 5h SOT because it's tracking before I charged battery
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] berni502:
60hz mostly wifi no games

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Sharqo78:
How can you get that good of an SoT, I got 7h30 on my phone...

It's debloated, running 120Hz and LTE only, tried everything to get the best SoT out of this phone. Also in LTE I get a lot of standby drain when I'm at school (1% per hour, in like 8 hours of standby you can feel it, also lemme show you some screenshots, and if you have tips, please tell me)

And look at these screenshots, it says that it used only 49% while i'm at 3%, how is it possible it's weird....

I feel like it's a software problem and maybe a custom rom + custom kernel should do the trick at fixing this... Or a MIUI update who knows
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
Well data spends more battery than wifi, 120hz also more than 60hz. And I think 1% battery drain in standby is not that bad.

You can try sync OFF, adjust auto-start and background permissions of apps, and battery saver, I don't feel any performance difference when enabled, it's probably just more agressive torwards background apps

Miui Battery stats are bugged, custom roms will probably have slightly more battery life!

Anyway here's today use with battery saver always ON, Active SOT: data with bad connection, GPS and bluetooth
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Sharqo78:
Thanks [MENTION=5287648]bacitoto[/MENTION] , also I wanna know how you can tweak autostart applications, I also turned off sync, which is a huge battery hog thanks for reminding me that
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Stefke93:
Xiaomi using different part on same phone, you need root to check battery model with device hw info app, however on my device battery is really good quality. After more then one year i still have more then 7h sot every day Mi 9 lite, also before this phone i had Mi 8 lite and battery was also awesome.. always disable apps you don't use like Google, print services, other bloatware ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Reba88:
Is it not just Xiaomi harvesting massive amounts of data from end users of a brand new phone in order to make educated adjustments to future updates(and make some money on the side)?

Even after de-bloating - this thing is 'phoning home' like crazy!

I expect upcoming updates to help with battery efficiency, but custom ROMs/kernels are bound to allow us to further pare back unnecessary tracking and apps.

Xiaomi loves using the first set of buyers of their new hardware as beta testers, it's just the price we pay for lower RRP's across the board.

Putting a new phone in a drawer because you're upset with having to charge it once a day is pure madness, especially with the firmware being only a month old!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Sharqo78:
Ok I know why I'm losing such insane amounts of battery :

When I'm at my school, I'm using LTE, however I have bad reception in some areas and I move a lot between buildings, walls are very thick too and some buildings have an outside metal layer... This may be why my battery gets drained in 4G....

However : when I'm home, using Wi-Fi, 60 Hz and battery saver (because I was playing Golden Sun on Retroarch, you obv don't need 120Hz to do that), my SoT skyrocketed from 7h30 to 12h, which is insane. Lemme show you some screens. (ah and thanks to MIUI Battery Saver my screenshot is really dim)

Hope LTE battery consumption gets fixed in the future
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
I really doubt the firmware gives this huge difference between devices.

I had 7 hours ost with light gaming, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth and browsing. It's more than half as other devices. I'mnnot upset, it's a really cheap device. I've tried it and put it in the drawer.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Black_ice_Spain:
I use the phone mostly in wifi and with 120hz according to accubattery I have 1.2%/h with screen off (I use Spotify a lot) and 7.5%/h with screen on

Debloated and using whitee theme, for me it works great.

No gaming tho, music series and and web browsing
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Nazri786:
Sorry, I ve disabled my digital well being apps.... Read somewhere that apps draining battery...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] netjinda:
120hz
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] yawarkhalid:
Is anyone else also experiencing heating issues along with the bad SOT?

Im getting 5 hours SOT and my phone is constantly warm to the touch with light usage. Even just browsing.

Already tried factory resetting the device. Turned off google backup since that was stuck.

Any advice anyone? My Realme 6 with 4500mah battery was giving 7hrs SOT, I was expecting 8 at least with this. My OnePlus 6 with a 3300mAH battery gave me this SOT.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Picard20:
I don't get heating issues even when playing light games, let alone browsing or watching hd vids. Something is definitely wrong. See whats using a lot of battery, uninstal every Xiaomi bloatware that can be uninstalled, restart the phone and try again. Oh, and new update "12.0.0.3" just rolled out. See if you can download it (still beta, but looks like most of people are getting it).
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] yawarkhalid:
Did all that. Running 12.0.3. Uninstalled useless apps. Stopped google backup. Just sipping battery.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Slim K:
I think the Schedutil governer ramps up too quickly when there are too many background processes, aka cpu governer badly tuned. Also the dynamic screen fps (ramps to 120Hz immediately when touched) is a battery killer. Always switching between apps causes lagging from the switch to lower refresh rates. Alot to improve still.

Since it's my daily driver phone for now i won't flash a custom rom on it . All current recoveries suffer from a FBE data bug so i won't risk it.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] yawarkhalid:
What version of the rom are you running?

Are you on the global rom? There are sperate roms available for INDIA, RU and EEA. Maybe those who are facing this issue could flash the rom that is not having this drain issue. Can that be done? Running and EEA build on a Global variant phone?

Im using the international variant with the Global rom.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Picard20:
I dont have the heating issue, but we are in the same boat when it comes to battery drain.

From reading this thread, I think the issue is with 120 Hz option, and how unoptimized it is.

But I wont toggle it back to 60 Hz, as I appreciate the smoothness, even if its smeared ghosting smoothnes.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] yawarkhalid:
These are my cpu temps 15 mins after charge. Seems unusually high to me. Will update through the cycle:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Picard20:
Those temps dont seem right. I installed both cpu and cpu-z from your screenshots, and both give me almost the same temps.

96 C for SoC is just a bad reading. Even 43 is too much, as the phone feels room temp during casual use.

Imo dont worry much about those temps. The battery temp seems acccurate and thats what matters.

Battery drain on the other hand, thats what concerns me the most. That and innacurate touch response, for which I got a seperate thread open.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
Soc temperature is equal to current battery level.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Nazri786:
How to get the old screen on time? The latest settings on battery stats only showing 1 day usage....
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Picard20:
Lol thnx. Is that a bug only for this phone, or something that happens on other devices too?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] cientista99:
Hi!

Did someone noticed improvement of screen % usage after update to 12.0.3?

Before the update I usually had near 88% of usage from the screen at 60Hz only browsing Reddit, watch some videos and playing a small bit.

Now, after the update, I'm having about 75% of screen usage.

Maybe it's my impression but seems that the update fix the screen usage a bit!

Regards!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] farsang:
[MENTION=2728127]cien[/MENTION]cista99

Yes you are right. My screen usage after 12.0.3 has gone from 87% to 68% and SOT has increased from 5 hours to 8 hours. But i was still expecting SOT time of atleast 10 hours considering size of battery so slightly disappointed here...
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] farsang:
A 90 minute local video playback drained 13% battery. Which translates to almost 12 hour continues video playback on single charge.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
Battery drain is not linear.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Xfirstname:
Wifi + VPN + 80/100 brightness+ 1 hour of YouTube Vanced and the rest on reddit + browsing the web + maybe 10minutes of geometry dash = 42/100 drained for 1h50 SOT, whiche give us approximately 4h30 SOT , last update.

EDIT : BTW I've debloated it by hand through terminal, almost all safe removable Google/Miui/third party bloatwares like Facebook have been removed

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] black_dott:
about 9h sot mixed use whole day display on auto average below 40%, vanced, browsing, facebook, instagram,whole mainly 4g, about an two hours of voip and regular calling,wifi about an hour.. 120hz, 2o-8% battery saver. here's the screen shots..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] davidhozic:
This is what I'm getting with 60Hz without power savings.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] enoikos11:
Hi just sharing my experience. Been testing it for a few weeks, consistently 9-10hrs screen on time, 120hz, 50% and below brightness, WiFi, NFC, Location all on. Will say 60% YT and 30% light games, 10% others. Tested on both v12.0.2.0 and v12.0.3.0 global versions

If you use 4G full time and/or higher brightness, maybe 7-8hrs is reasonable. But for my usage, 10hrs SOT for 2 days, that is 5hrs looking at my phone per day, more than reasonable.

Do try make sure all the system apps with ads and bloatwares are removed/stop tho, maybe those can eat the batteries in the background without you knowning. There is also a setting that turn your screen on when you receive notification, if you don't need it maybe turn it off too, tried with it on it turn on my display a lot with msgs and battery drain faster noticeably.

Overall, a solid 2 days normal use phone, or 1 full day heavy use, am quite happy with the battery life also considering it only take about 1hr to top up from near 0%.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] editheraven:
Wifi off (always 4g), bt always on, GPS always on.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] khayzer:
I've got 11 hours and 30 minutes

mostly wifi connection

how to get this SOT?

1. Battery Saver On

2. 60hz display

3. Restrict background activity (all apps)

4. remove bloatwares

5. Turn off MI ADS

6. Network selection to 2G only
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] enoikos11:
Tried some new settings, got 11hrs48mins SOT from 100-4%

90Hz, WIFI, Location, Bluetooth, NFC, (about 5hrs of 4G in there as well), 50% and below Brightness.

Got about 1-2hrs more dropping from 120hz to 90hz, I guess another 1hr or so if drop to 60hz for 13hrs+ SOT.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] SkaboXD:
9-10H screen on time for me. I watch 2 hours of videos, 1h of gaming, listening to music with speakers, using social networks, surfing the internet with around 50% of brightness and turned on WiFi & 4G network.

I use 120hz option.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] crazy4jack:
i have moto g7 with 3000 mAh, i have 6.:20 h on WIFI and 4:30-5 h on LTE so only 5-6 h on 5000mAh battery is garbage
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Black_ice_Spain:
I did some testing during 3 weeks with acubattery.

120 hz = 8.4% battery/hour (screen on time)

90hz = 7.3% battery/hour (screen on time)

60hz = 6.3 battery/hour (screen on time)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] dinsum:
jesus christ.... some of you spend way too much time on your phone!! 9 hours on phone in one day?? you gotta admit thats bonkers
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Hackao:
After miui 12.0.4, battery comsumption has become even smaller than 12.0.2 and 12.0.3. When i'm sleeping, my phone is usually using 6-12mAh/h. Battery duration is awesome. Lasts 2 full days for my kind of usage.

(from 2 to 3am it has more consumption because of the automatic whatsapp backup)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] SkaboXD:
11H Screen on Time - Unbeliveable!

120hz enabled

8% battery remaining

around 50% brightness

- It seems that the new 12.0.4 update improved battery life and battery looks calibrated finally so it should give constant great battery life of 10-11H SOT.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Tentai:
Using 90hz dynamic so I'm really satisfied specially because my wifi and 4G signal is really bad.

Got 6hours and 10 minutes with 49% left
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Forged1ntuition:
Agreed. I can get gaming, since that's a hobby, or working on one's phone.

But... For social media and browsing I think anything more than 5h can be significantly detrimental to one's health. There are plenty of studies on this if anyone here wants to google go ahead. :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] veimus:
I'm on debloated MIUI Global 12.0.4.0(QJGMIXM) and got 3 full days, and 11h SOT (Wi-Fi, BT, Mobile data always ON, even at night). But mostly that SOT was not on full brightness, it was probably half, or even less as mostly I watch YouTube in bed evening time, so brightness is set to low at this time, at work also don't use full brightness.

Good ROM optimization comparing to MiNote10 (5200mAh, AMOLED display) - never got 3 full days or at least 7h SOT in 2 days..

Here is which apps was removed via ADB:

Here is my battery stat:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] ridershahmir:
120 Hz all the time. Pubg played at 90hz
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
First usage after charging the battery to 100%

I got 5 hours of PUBG mobile

(3 hours playing - 2 hours in the lobby downloading game contents)

And 20% of the battery are left.

My friends plays for 7 hours on his samsung phone
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] black_dott:
do you have a problem in 12.0.4.0 when you try to view battery status after charge (when ever you first check it) its 0h0m .. after that starts counting as normal.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
Bad battery!

Is this normal?

I bought the phone yesterday and I charge it twice per day.. check the screenshots

I had xiaomi note 5 and the SoT was between 9 to 11 hours when it was new and the battery health was excellent.

So I am surprised that Poco X3 battery is new and last for 6 hours SoT only.

Using stock firmware. (MIUI 12.0.4)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
How much SoT do you get on AOSP roms?

Do you get more screen on time using AOSP roms in comparison with MIUI?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Ayman ae:
12.0.2

I swear SOT decreases using the built in battery stats idk why?

Anyway very good battery while running 120hz and no battery saver with 4g on.

Deleted some bloat using adb.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Ayman ae:
Forgot pic
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
My today SoT is 6:30 hours, light usage.. what an excellent battery!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Alrich:
13 hours is pretty good SoT

Mobile data throughout, Bluetooth on and gaming for 2 hours.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
What type of games do you play?

I can hardly get 7 hours of SoT if I played PUBG mobile for 2 hours.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Mysteryagr:
Finally battery improved after more than a week of usage, I think adaptive battery feature started to work correctly.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] UsmanHSh:
Which windows program is it?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] Egy.One:

I tried to reply sooner but XDA was going through the migration thing. The games I play are Call of Duty Mobile at 120hz and in between Clash of Clans to kill time. The total play time for both these games are around 2.5 hours and I get 13 Hours SoT on mobile data.

Overall to say I'm very satisfied with this phone. Just a bit jealous of the new Xiaomi coming with 108Mp Camera.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] bacitoto:
36 sessions in the last 7 days? wtf? all these numbers are weird

Your SOT and SOFF are both better than mine but the combined use is way worse 🤨

was this normal usage?

Anyway here's mine:
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] aytamal:
I have just installed 12.0.6 version came to my phone and it looks like battery drain issue is solved. It's been an hour i installed it and just %1 battery drain with normal usage at work(notification check, phone call, etc). I will update the post later on.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Real Life Review] pak lah:
I once have 10h SOT using mobile data at 3%

Overall quite impressive. A liltle bit better than my Mi Max 3.

Especially when used as wifi hotspot, almost twice the endurance compare to my previous phone.
