Android Authority: LG G6 to have better Audio thanks to upgraded Quad DAC.

So 1 can't last all day? That's a bad expectation.

I can't define what a bad or good expectation is. I can only comment based on my needs. There is no phone on the planet that would last me all day every day without mods or charging cases. The rumor is that the G6 will be 3200, but even if it were 4000 it wouldn't last me all day. That's why I prefer swappable batteries when I can't top off with quick charge.

Ah okay because you said people could buy 2 so it sounded like your expectation was not even one day of use (for others) -- not your expectation on it . I am in the same boat -- I can kill phones before lunch most days (even I could kill a 4k one as well I am sure).

The v20 speaker was actually pretty good when i first got it, but the last T-Mobile update that "improved audio quality" definitely made it weaker. Not sure if it's the same on other carriers or not.

Almost every flagship has no problem getting through a day for most users. I don't expect the G6 to suck at that.

The DAC can be a real battery killer, especially in high impedance mode with a huge set of cans, but I imagine a good subset of people will buy it not for that purpose.

I'm OK with both. Just asking for more juice if they can.

I tested the Huawei Mate 9 and screen on time was 6 hours ++.

You mean like this?

No way. Is this from normal usage? Or watching YouTube from 100% to 10% lol. The max I can get 4.5 to 5 hrs.

I am curios -- how did the rest of the battery work (as in not just showing SoT)? Just saying because Jerry showed how he got 10+ hours of SoT but was only reading ebooks. It really depends what you do during that time .

I neglected to capture the full breakdown of usage, but I can tell you that the last several hours I was browsing and watching a few YouTube videos non-stop. I was actually trying to see how much SOT I could actually get. Power save mode kicked in automatically at 5%.
