Moto Z Play Battery Life

[Go Liath]

Just call it the "undead" phone.

Might as well.

People **** on Lenovorola for their updates. But damn they know their batterylife and (imo) design. Even last year the Moto X Play (which I had) was approaching this battery life. The Moto Z Play perfected it.

I made these screenshots when I just hit 20%

I can't go on, I have to charge for tomorrow.

Just got the phone today, battery life is unbelievable so far, 3 hours sot with 70% battery left!

Latest update on my first charge

Real nice! It's such a free feeling knowing I'll never have to charge in the middle of the day no matter what I do.

The novelty has worn off and now I just cruise around knowing I don't even have to THINK about charging for a couple of days. Love this phone. Pretty much ideal for my usage. Gotta find a screen protector for it, though.

The Zagg is really good. I just wish it covered the top of the screen, but I guess that's tricky because of the sensors.

Final numbers for first charge, I'm impressed

Checked out the Pixel, went for the Play

I'm new to the Play, but not the forum. I had a Moto X (2014) prior. I received my new phone this past Friday evening (10/7). Opened to find the battery at 94%. Began setting up accounts and turning EVERYTHING on. Didn't plug it in because I wanted to start training the battery right away (I know some think that is a myth, but I do it anyhow ). My goal is to let it drain to ~10%, then fully charge for at least the first 3 cycles. Saturday was spent downloading and transferring files. Watching videos and surfing the web for phone-specific tips. I'm a huge customizer, so I spent a lot of time setting up my theme and gestures in Nova. Received a security patch too. I literally had to keep hammering this thing to finally get it to 10%. Now on my second day with almost 7 hours SOT with ~40% left.

Yep, battery life on this thing is kind of nuts.

Every 2-3 days, I'm reminded how amazing this battery is. Best so far, 50 hours, 9.5 hours Screen, 3 hours Bluetooth calling.
That's with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS all on all the time.

First full day of having the phone. 7.5 hrs SoT, 5 hours of Pokémon go. Just amazing.

Second full charge, insaine

My stats for today. Also, check out the averages over the past month. Lenovo really killed it with the Z Play.

 

[Bosgarage57]

8 hours screen on time, 3 hours of Pokémon go, and an hour of YouTube videos. Still amazing.

I know this is Z Play forum but even my Moto E which is 2 yrs old at this point and has just 1980 mah battery on KitKat 4.4.4 gives just as good battery life as Z Play.

So if Z Play had a 720p screen and smaller display, battery life would have been out of this world.

So its basically down to low resolution screen and battery efficient kitkat OS. So imagine if Z Play had a 720p screen and kitkat, it would provide probably more than 15 hours of SOT. Amazing.

You did this over 14 hours. With the Z Play, I'd get that much SOT over 3 days, so there is a pretty big difference.

Yeah i agree. Over 2-3 days i get 5-6 hours. Z Play is much better i agree.

I call BS. The Z Play can achieve that much SOT over 24 or more hours, while your E did it over 14 hours. I bet if you stretched it out over 2 days you wouldn't get anywhere near that amount of SOT.

Why are you even here?

Yeah you're right but no need to get angry. I was just comparing battery life between old Moto phones vs new Moto phones and that Moto phones are usually great in battery life due to minimal bloat+ stock Android although with 720p screen and smaller display but same battery capacity it would have broken all records probably.

The MXPE unfortunately is weak in battery which led me to the Z Force, although I'd happily take the Z Play which I got for my wife.
