The other day I was thinking that my battery life seems to be shorter, when I get home from work I used to have around 85-90% left but now it's getting less, then I realise I have max power enabled. I don't always have a need for max power/screen so I disabled it and set mid range power after I had charged it last Friday morning and here are the results.....Screenshot_20180311-073538.jpg

If taken care of, I'm sure this battery will last, I appreciate that a lot of users will use the phone more in their day to day use with more screen on time but I'm pretty happy so far with these results!

I don't get near that. But I'm more than happy with it. Use it a lot during my working day, lots of actual phone calls, Bluetooth, WiFi and cell on constantly.
Usually 4hrs of screen time for maps, video etc.Still get a 10 hour work day easily with plenty left when I get home.

That said I'm usually not too far from a charger and don't really think about it too much.

For me I have noticed a battery life difference putting it on the mid battery saver. But no performance difference.

Omg, I have to charge it twice a day in a busy day, or get home around 6pm with 25% remaining, on a regular day.

Worst battery I had in years.

I only run the high performance mode and get a full day 16 hours with 8+ hours SoT.
few days ago I checked at exactly 50% and had 8.45 on battery and 5.12 SoT
I don't use the location service or Bluetooth though but do have WiFi and mobile data on always

Same here. High performance mode at all times, bluetooth connected to my Gear S2, and I get between 4-5 hrs SOT, and I can make it about 15 hrs between charges. Although to be safe, I usually charge up on my 25 minute drive home from work.
