Same here. 120Hz, LTE + WiFi, Durable, location off... Very disappointed in the battery of this phone, I could get better results with my iPhone 8 that has less than half of the capacity of the ZF8.
The battery drain is worse than it was , idk how but 2 hours sot is badd
(peper is my bank app) , how the hell is it even possible that a phone with a stable build works worse than a developer preview of a11 on OnePlus 6 with 3 years of battery?
1st of all, 11% for a banking app is way too much. 2nd of all, four hours since your phone was fully charged is way too low, I am currently at 85% battery, 2 hours since fully charged, with 1 hour 15 minutes of SOT, 5G disabled, 120 Hertz, dynamic system mode. If you use advanced sliders for the system mode change that to dynamic, it's not allowing the CPU to go below 1 GHz, that could be the issue!
I am using dynamic mode, now charging the phone, I have it limited to 90% , I have auto refresh rate, no 5g, Bluetooth is on, location is on and I have always on display, cleared the memory, restarted the phone, hope it helps
Actually I am quite fond of it. I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy s10e, which got me around 3h SOT. With Zenfone 8 I am getting 7 while being fully charged. For me it got better after the update.
Don't know guys how do you reach such SOT (I mean 6-7), for me 4:47 hours of screen is maximum on 1% of battery. Maybe 5:30 on custom kernel.
Dynamic mode (on battery level below 20% it switches to Durable with 60Hz), 5G off. BT, GPS, WI-Fi always on. Mobile internet also turned always on, but it is not active while Wi-Fi connection is estabilished (most of the time).
16/256. Maybe it's RAM consume too much energy, idk. Percentage of battery is also not relatve here. It could go down from 5% to 1% for 1hour. And from 90% to 80% for 20 minutes. How???
It depends on what you are doing. You can watch youtube 10 hours on full charge easily, because it is highly optimized. But when you are browsing, using camera, apps, playing games, it can be half of that.
I also have problems with games. I use dynamic mode and sometimes games run easily 60fps, but sometimes it struggles and runs around 40 fps. in both cases CPU and GPU are used under 40% load. It looks like dynamic mode sometimes limits resources. There should be an option to disable limit for certain apps. I dont want to set high performance mode each time i want to play for few minutes.
with 90hz, no 5g, dynamic, basically everything in dark mode.
I found that the battery percentage is very unreliable. When the phone is at 1% I get around 30 additional minutes of battery life (while using dynamic mode). So I am not trusting accubattery that much but I am getting through the day with it.
Comments
I couldn't pay with card saved in bank app today. Does anyone else have also this issue after updating?
It's really bad update, found at least two regression bugs.
After update I lost all shortcuts for setting items in the launcher.
All apps in the phone lost access to Call Log.
Łukasz, I just came back from shopping - payments work ok.
Thanks, will try again tomorrow :)
About battery: still same sh1t.
Drain to fast while surfing.

"Phone Idle" drains battery as it was before.
Hi @lukasz.szabelski,
Check your inbox for a PM from me ;)
Today morning it somehow fixed itself… Not noticing this problem anymore. Previously even rebooting did not solve it.

This menu option has existed since I got my phone, so for atleast a month, but it never showed a beta test to register for yet
With each new update, I feel more and more despair - the battery is very weak.

forgive me, but I don't believe in sot = 7h (unless you are using your smartphone in some abstract way to me)
S10e has a 900mA smaller battery.

I also get 6-7 SoT, normal usage, 90Hz refresh rate, durable mode

s10e is 1000 mAh smaller.
I am using my zenfone
