Battery test.

[elvee68]

So I decided to run my phone at full brightness. I turned off Adaptive, kept my display on the whole time.

I watched YouTube, listened to Google Play Music and Tunein Radio.
Took a phone call, browsed Google+ and a few other things.

Here are the results...

Second test.
50% brightness, Adaptive Brightness on..
I let this run over night.

Well that's only slightly better than my old note 2 that I got rid off for this phone. :/

Wow that is very impressive and it is great to know you had the phone on full brightness, how bright is the screen on this phone as I currently have an Xperia Z3 and that has a really bright screen and I do like a bright screen I have the Z3 set at around 75% brightness so will the Turbo 2 be bright at the same sort of percentage as if it isn't a bright screen I can't buy it

It is a toss up between this phone and the Style/Pure but the Style battery is described as average at best and that does sway me towards the T2 but the T2 is £150 more than the Style and I just can't decide whether that is worth it to me

With Adaptive Brightness off the screen is brighter. I used the have the HTC One M8 and the brightness is comparable in my opinion.

I like to keep mine at around 40% with Adaptive Brightness on.

I had a HTC One M8 and the screen brightness was great on that so the Turbo 2 sounds perfect BUT as I said £150 more than the Style is a big difference and one I am not sure about, the shatterproof screen isn't really something I need but it is a great feature but for me the battery life is a biggie but I do think the T2 is a bit overpriced compared to the Style.

Well you could always get up to $300 for a trade-in from Verizon. I've read that folks are averaging $200.

Elvee68, could you repeat the test with your screen at a fixed brightness? It would be interesting to compare the results.

The screen on full brightness is 445 Nits.

I feel like contributing £150 just so you can get the phone and be done with it

Yeah sure I wouldn't mind seeing this myself.
My setting will be 50% Adaptive Brightness on.

Hehehe that really made me laugh I haven't owned a Motorola before so I want the more pure Android experience and even though my Xperia Z3 is perfectly fine I am a weak person when it comes to phones as I like trying a new experience the Style has many great qualities and of course we all know there isn't a perfect phone so for me the Style has a lot of good points but it does suffer from average battery life but yet it has a great screen, the X Force (UK) has a fab size battery and hopefully a great screen but it is the rather large price difference that I am struggling with, yes I can afford to buy the Force but I am not sure I need a shatterproof screen but of course it would be useful so that's where I am at present, I HAVE NO iDEA

Wow!

Over 10 hours screen on time at 50% brightness. That's sick!

You got a good one.

Very impressive. I guess you don't have messaging apps like whatsapp, hangouts, fb messenger, telegram?

 

[elvee68]

Hangouts but not the others you mentioned.

For work on the other hand I need a charger near by just in case. I have location on and run Google Maps all day also I am talking on it the whole day too.
In a 11 hour day I might make it home at around 15% but most of the time I keep it on charge in my work vehicle.

What do you keep your screen brightness at?

That looks a lot like what I get out of my T1, but I use the phone for at least a half an hour per day.

 

[elvee68]

50% Adaptive Brightness on.

 

[beeare]

Not as good as you, but I have whatsapp connected and chat quite a bit. Plus 4 emails with auto push connected.

4th day so far with 4hrs 30 mins SOT. Total running time 20 hrs. 40% brightness. Not great. Was hoping for better
