Here are my results. Settings as required by Anders
120 Hz

Adaptive brightness off
X-mode off
I would say results are quite good. The battery was 19% and good for another hour and 35 min.

is this find??? why i pass at 30 only?? im at air condition room in my work... Ultimate Edition here too just like ralph christian and already do replacement on january 29, 2020 because of charging issue and battery drain... The issue now is battery drain again only..
Ralph ChristianThis is a general recommendation when testing batteries. The optimum ambient temperature for a li-ion battery is 23-25C.How does the battery life time affect the temperature.
It's impossible for me to get that temperature without Air Conditioning.
I'm leaving in the Philippines which doesn't have that kind of temperature.
But i'm guessing the ambient temperature in my place is about 32 to 36 Celsius.

But I'm no battery expert so I had to do some googling. From what I can see, battery capacity will be mostly affected in lower temperatures but closer to 0-10C so no risk for you 😉
But to frequently use a phone in your environment will greatly reduce the life expectancy. Don't be surprised if your battery life is much lower in 2 years time. This is the case with all rechargeable batteries.
OPCI tried to run that test. But if I am correct you have to kill all apps and run only the test. I had to use other apps as well so PCmark was interrupted. I will leave the phone do it overnight.
But I used phone in those conditions just to see what the battery life would be.

Airplane mode off (I need the connection)
I played Asphalt over 3 hours. Results are devastating. I guess it's the screen set to max brightness responsible, apart the fact that my eyes are now destroyed by the brightness.
Here is the screenshot
Practically the phone was finished after 3 hours playing Asphalt. That much less then playing Asphalt in X-mode but with adaptive brightness on.
I would like to comment on the X-mode. With it turned off, the phone didn't heat up at all. Max temperature was 42 Celsius. Also 39 C for a long time. Notably less than Samsung Note 8 after playing 3 hours. That phone would glitch much sooner. CPU was running stronger (over 30%), while GPU was running lower (average 80-85%) than in X-mode. Didn't notice any decline in smoothness of the game. So with X-mode turned off it's absolutely fine to play without Cooler attached.
I don't understand why the system reports Asphalt 1%.

Haha, why didn't you use sunglasses ?
This test you made shows many things that I've tried to explain to users complaining about battery drain and why comparing SOT is worthless.
Android battery stats is the worst. Where did the rest of the used 60% go? It's very unreliable to be honest.
Screen brightness matters more than people think
What apps/games that have been running matters more than people think

You added a very important thing to the list which I totally forgot
Killing all background apps. Unfortunately, this does not always kill the apps or the services tied to that app, so to make sure they're really dead, a system reboot is required (after you've killed the apps).
rhyanI'm discussing with UL/Futuremark why the graph looks like this and they say it's an error in the graph but the important thing is the number of passes and the elapsed time.
@Anders_ASUS here my result
- X-Mode OFF

So you actually passed 52 passes which is really good. There's nothing wrong with your battery whatsoever. If you're experiencing battery drain, then it's because of some app or how you're using the phone but it's not the battery.
