Why do i only get 4 hours of screen on time on Moto Z Play

First day on Moto Z, first day on Nougat too. Quite disappointed .People out there getting 8 hours. Im here getting only 4 !

Device is currently on track for 5.63 hours of screen on time over a 19.71 hour period (71% of the charge has been used). With facebook as the #1 app on the list, I'd say it's draining the battery and you may want to look at using the browser instead of their app (known battery hog issues) - and you do have several periods where the device is awake with the screen off, which seem to increase when you're not on WiFi. Couple that with the orange (weak) signal from the cellular radios, and that's a recipe for fast drain.

When installing Nougat, did you o a factory reset or just an OTA update? Did you clear the system cache?

I did a factory data reset after nougat. Im in the center of a major city so there is no way signal is dropping. Maybe this device is defective

You may want to give it a few days to see how the battery life shakes out. That's really poor SOT, but it may gradually get better. Make sure Bluetooth and wifi scanning are off (if you haven't already).

I was able to squeeze 9 hrs of SOT on mine, but I keep the screen at about 30% brightness, and usually have location services off unless I'm actively navigating somewhere. I'm also on Nougat.

Facebook isn't supposed to use up that much battery I don't think. I use Facebook quite a bit through out the day and it's way down the battery list with 2%.
