Moto Z Play Battery Life

Auto brightness I assume? Where's your brightness level set?

50% adaptive brightness.

I didn't push the last 20% but 2 days with nearly 10 hours of SOT works for me

Very nice! Isn't it so liberating to know that no matter what you do, ever, you'll never run out of juice before bedtime?

100% agree. No way the gap should be that wide.

The Quad HD screen on the Force (535ppi) vs. the 1080p on the Play (403ppi) makes a huge difference. Not to mention the 625 processor vs. 820. The 820 is power hungry and needs to be to push all those pixels. I'm not sure what Qualcom did with the 625 but it's incredibly power efficient. At the end of the day it's a trade of but for me, I'll sacrifice less pixels and camera performance for battery life.

Absolutely! I considered a battery mod but it's not needed.

I have to change my habit of plugging in the phone at work and when I get home

That's where I'm at with my Z Force. I rarely have to plug it in before the end of the day (the extra life of the Z Play would probably have prevented needing it at all). I'll be watching for a deal on a battery mod for use while travelling, though I already have a "normal" battery pack that I could use.

After waking up this morning. First day of use, wifi, bluetooth and full GPS on the whole time. I'm impressed.

I would love to see a back cover that is a wireless charging adapter. They could stuff that in the back of one of the cover plates. I would buy that. I don't need the extra battery and bulk.

If someone knew which pins in back would charge the battery, one of these might be able to adapt a cover.

Incipio makes an extended battery mod that includes wireless charging. Covers both Qi & PMA. Unfortunately, it's not available.

I just ordered the unlocked version from BB. I'm looking for the possibly several day battery life I'm reading about. Very much tired of my 2014 Moto X that goes through battery very quickly.

While a stand alone wireless charging back would be nice, I'm finding the battery pack / wireless charging combo much more appealing. I want days to a full week on one charge while still using the phone, not letting it sit idle at more screen brightness.

I don't think you will be disappointed in the battery life.

I'm hoping. It's very good to hear the long battery life that you all are getting.

Octa a53 14nm.

This is a significant improvement over the 617 which is octa a53 28nm

Just hit 50% after >14 hours off the charger today figured I'd post some screenshots.

Check out the crap signal I get at home too...the green bars are when I was out running errands.

Tap on the main battery graph.

just that easy.... Thanks..

Couldn't agree more. Today was a very light usage day, but this is just silly. The battery doesn't drain at all on standby. Incredible.
