Battery Life - tested

[Wazzupp2016]

LG V20 battery life test results are out: here's how it compares against Apple's iPhone 7 Plus and Samsung's Galaxy S7 Edge

They cut off the Note 4. It got 8 hours with Marshmallow.

The test is based on general light use and not gaming or Maps, etc. The Plus 7 as example gets nowhere near 9 hours with medium to heavy use. GPU even on the Plus sucks some juice.

The battery life is a trade off but I'll take it with the ability to pop in a 100% charged one in less than a minute. Had it been sealed and still average that would be a deal breaker.

Concur. I will have a second battery in the charging case ready to go!

Whatever the case, the battery life threads will be fun. Battery life use is SO subjective and depends on the user's perception and actual use. The posts will range from 1.5 hours SOT to 9 hours SOT. Some real, fake, misunderstood and/or all the above.

The big wild card factor is LTE reception. A person in a strong signal area would get much better battery life than weaker areas. The Note 7 for all of it's good points has weak signal reception and likely root cause of the big differences people have. The Note 4 has better reception than the Note 7, which was unexpected.

I love phones with removable batteries so i can just slap a 10000mah battery replacement case on it and never have to worry about battery during the day. This phone will be no different.

That whole Moto Z thing, with its add-ons, is intriguing--including the add-on battery back.

But I love the projector and the Hasselblad add-ons as well.

The smaller display, big bezel and having 15% of the display wasted in a lot of apps due to the nav bar is annoying. It bugged me with the MXPE, so more bug with 7% smaller display of Z.

LG did a good job mitigating the annoying nav bar.

Seems like we will get the same life as the note 7 and with the option to swap...I call that a win...

If you use the same test (On Phone Arena), they got nearly 10 hours on the Note 7. Hardly the same.

i was getting 6.5 hours on my note 7. so can you use package disabler on the v20?

No, package disabler is Samsung only. I've been searching for a solution as well.

Seems the key to life with the V20 - keep your screen brightness no greater than 70%.

True of any phone no?
