maybe internet problem

90% now where SOT close to 2 hours but mate 8 only 1 hours SOT

EMUI 5 will have a lot of good refinements and they bring back App drawer with more options of Dual Windows. Hopefully it'll come to Mate 8

mate 8 got screen crack warranty ? need to pay extra ?

iOS shows you battery usage for the past 24 hours and seven days, unrelated to when your phone was last fully charged. It's not like Android where the counters reset once your battery hits 100% again

The past 24 hours once I fully charged my phone I unplug the usage will start from 0

If the battery performance more better more than mate 8. Totally win my heart switch to iPhone.
So far my SOT on mate 8 can exceed 6 to 7 SOT based my moderate gaming.
Hard to believe if SOT iPhone can more better than mate 8.

Yes I'm impressed with the battery life. Standby management is good too.

But android system stil more user friendly to me

pls update your SOT when battery balance left 10% or left 50%

TS should consider to open V3 now since it's over 2.5k post

does mate 8 support android pay without root ?

For me, the Mate 8 is the only Android flagship that I have used so far with a battery that doesn't run out of juice before I reach home from work daily (heavy user). Maybe 4,000 mAh is the sweet spot for battery capacity in Android (my previous Note 5 with 3,000 mAh wasn't cutting it). Previously was using a 6S Plus and I would say the standby power management is unrivaled. In terms of SOT, between my 6S Plus and the Mate 8, I would say it's fairly about the same, but to me, what is important is I don't have to charge my phone or carry a power bank with me all the time as I move around a lot.

Am waiting to get the 7 Plus so will only comment on it's battery performance then

My experience with Mate 8 ( both China n local sets) : SOT averages 10-11 hours on mainly internet stuffs with no gaming. Only phones that are better were Mi Max (11-12) n A9pro (13-14)
Similar usage on my ip7+ battery usage recorded is 11-12 hours. Standby time ip7+ is superb with hardly any drain
However SOT doesn't measure when phone is in use , say listening to audio with display off
There is no SOT measure for iPhones
One significant advantage on iPhones is you need not worry about wake locks draining battery as in Android. To have good battery life on Android one must have good controls over wake locks.
