Hello Members, while It's still too early only after almost a week to judge a phone's battery life, but I have never ever had a phone reach the 13 hours mark of SOT (Screen On Time)

Settings:

Display: QHD+
Brightness: 30%
Motion Smoothness: Standard. 
Performance Profile: Light.
Power Saving: Off.

An impressive number and a first for me! 

This reflects the power of Optimization, LTPO screens and the Efficiency of the Processor. 

I will be posting in the coming days the percentages I'm getting, after i use different apps, which might be different from the above as new phones tend to increase battery usage after a while. 

One thing to note, i plugged in 3 different chargers to show the 3 different charging speeds:

1-Super Fast charging:25W - 5% to 100% -1 hour and 5 Minutes Untill Full. 
2-Super Fast charging 2.0:45 W - 5% to 100% -53 Minutes Until Full. 
3-Super Fast charging 3.0:60W - 5% to 100% -48 Minutes Until Full.

Do you always keep Motion Smoothness as Standard ?
Feels weird on eyes once you get used to Adaptive.
It will interesting how much difference it can make to battery life.

I have an old post regarding it, yes it consumes a lot, and did not make any difference to me. I can see it in the fast scrolling, but besides that no vakue added. I even turned on developer mode, made the refresh rate always visible, and it only went to 120 when scrolling or when playing 120hz capable games. On YouTube back then it was capped at 60Hz,and when idle never went below 10Jz although the claims are 1Hz. if i find it I'll share it, it was a nice take back then.

Exactly, in scrolling makes big difference to me. I don't want to go back to lower now.

Turn on developer mode, make the refresh rate visible, and see how it only works for scrolling, I don't scroll all day long, bit that's a subjective preference, that's the beauty of it.
