Post your screenshots and results here. If you have issues with battery life, feel free to post your questions and I'm sure people will be happy to try and help.

My first full charge results are coming in a few minutes.

I don't have any screen shots but I can tell you that I got similar numbers.. I didn't let it get too low like that though.

how does that compare to your personal use of a previous phone?

The only way I could get similar results on the V10 was not using my MS Band. I couldn't figure out why having it connected was an issue for me but it was. The app wasn't running rogue or anything but I would lose 1hr SOT and several hours up time. Tested 5 or so different days and then o just stopped testing because it was driving me nuts.

So far the V20 is equal to or better than the Note 7. Android system and Android OS are much better behaved on the V20 than the Note. Actually it's been that way for all my LG phones.

Way better than my V10 was.

Just to be clear in comparing apples to apples, the V20 is running Nougat and the Note 7 is running Marshmallow.

Ok. So was the V10. So is just about every phone out there except Nexus and Pixel devices. Doesn't mean they can't be compared.

Not sure if that will make much difference. Doze improvements, but there is minimal drain when off. The big three drainers are SOT, GPU and LTE. Even Doze is powerless if approval is given for app notifications. Apps can run at will then.

90% of battery use is the big three. Perhaps the V20 has better LTE reception, so this helps offset the two LCD displays.

If LG pulls it off, my kudos to them. But for now I continue to have doubts about that LCD screen and battery life.

Battery life is amazing on this phone. I get 4 to 6 hrs with moderate to heavy usage... Not bad at all for a 3200mah battery!!!!

Sad that I might not get the V20 over a seeming petty thing like the FM radio, so I can test battery life. Verizon got me militant. Battery life is so subjective. Please be careful presuming another person will equal yours.

Re: Battery Life - User results

I havent measured it but battery seems pretty good so far. I haven't had a chance to do a full charge yet actually.

I think its downright unlawful that these carriers take away features and add garbage we don't need. FM is not a showstopper for me since I don't listen to it that much anyway.
