I charged it up during the day yesterday, but then hammered it syncing my emails, sms messages and other things.
So, last night was my first real charge. I took it off the charger at 6am this morning, and right now, at just a few minutes less than 5 hours, I'm at 83% with 70% use being cell standby.
I'm sticking with HSPA+ today, because I know that will drain the battery more than WiFi (at least that was the case on my Atrix) and I'm trying to get a feel for the battery life when away from WiFi.
Now, full disclosure, my phone has 6 email accounts setup for push. An Exchange account, two Gmail accounts and three Imap idle accounts using k9 mail. Still, I would say it's burning battery at a little higher rate than my Atrix with those same six push email accounts.

5 hours and down to 40%.
:-(

I'm seeing a significant increase in battery life whith the s3 over the s2

I'm a bit of a light user, but a little heavier than average given new phone.

7.5 hrs @ 57%.
I'll post screens when I can.

5 Hours, 45%, screen on 2 hr, 12 min.
Interesting thing: I have a Pandora Widget on my screen, have not used it at all, and 13% of my power, and show son for 22 min.

9.5 hrs @ 29%.
I am using the default juicedefender profile.

Cell standby hogs the battery more than other phones like US One X with same SoC. I think kernel devs can work on this since this is not normal.

To get a good idea on battery life, everyone needs to show their screen on time as it should be the biggest drain.

^^ I had power saving off for the first 3 hours of the day, and screen was set to 1/4 brightness. I changed screen to auto brightness, disabled wifi network scanning/notification, turned on power saving mode (all options), and it's been like that since about 3 hours into the day. I've done some driving with Slacker Radio streaming via bluetooth to my Jeep.
Seems like cellular standby eats juice. I am in an LTE area.

is the a way to turn off LTE?

This is mine so far, don't really run any battery saving appsetc. Cell standby is a bit too much.

I haven't seen a way to switch. The person in question is probably in a market without LTE like I am and is stuck on HSPA+

so battery life is wayy better on the exynos...

I went to work yesterday at 4:30pm and showed people my phone all day as well as had the screen on the entire time for my lunch. Got home at 11:45pm and my battery was at 91%. This is on LTE the entire time also. My Nexus was usually at 60-70% by the time I got home.

Battery Life for you Heavy Users

I know another battery life thread, but I want to know what battery life people get that are heavy users. What i mean by heavy is people that play games for an hour, watch videos, surf the web, music, download, calls, text. Things that would drain the battery quick and because the screen is on.
On a regular day I mostly text get about 1.5 hours of music and 2 hours of video/game. I don't play games all that much just watch videos during my breaks, surf the web allot and download small files. I have always kept WiFi and GPS enabled on all my android devices.
I had the SGS for 2 days and noticed it only lasts about 12 hours, my previous phone (hTC Raider) with the same usage would last about 14 - 16 hours.
What do you guys get? somewhat disappointed with the battery.

4 to 6 hrs screen time.

@ I_FLY_Z3R0
That's impressive I may have to check out that ROM. It funny how you guys get around 16 hours and i only get 12 I wonder what it is?
I'm starting to remove bloat and hopefully that will improve my battery, will post back at the end of the day.

Out of curiousity is everyone on a custom rom, is anyone on a stock rom and getting these numbers (I apologize if i missed this but i dont think i saw it). Im rooted but still stock on sprint and I am getting about 8 hours. I have about 4 gmail accounts sync, 4 groupme accounts sync, gps and wifi enabled. I typically lower my brightness unless im outside or in a hard to read area....any ideas? I was really ok with not trying custom roms but if i can double my battery life by doing so i might reconsider....I was on the OG Evo before and flashed like crazy to get better battery life but no matter what others said they got, I only got 5-6 hours on similar setup that i just mentioned.

I'm testing my phone to make sure it lasts me my heavy day. Coming from GNEX i have to make sure that it's worth $600 i just paid.
now i'm getting 5 hours of talk time + 3 hours screen time (auto) + 20-50 text/emails. this is with power saver setting without CPU max limit.
and at the end of day (8PM) i have around 18 hours on batt, and 20% left.
Hope that helps.

This was extreme usage. Audio constantly playing and tethering on most of the time.

Judging from the fact that he's on Blazer rom (I used to have a GSII), I'm assuming he's on sprint. Assuming he's on Sprint, I'm assuming he does not have LTE in his area yet. This could account for the huge difference in how long the phone lasts overall.
Being on AT&Ts LTE, I can get around 4 hours of on screen time and 15 hrs overall of medium use.

Here are mine. Mostly idle, lots of reading(Game of Thrones books, awweesome!), emails (all work related) and light gaming. 5% left after 20 hours, almost 4 1/2 hours screen time. I am running stock rom, rooted and I debloated a bit(few pre-installed apps, gmail, email, etc as I use other apps for those needs).
Uptime 5% left on battery.

I upgraded from the Note 2 four days ago. I wanted to go through a few charge cycles before contemplating a return. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger and take the G3 back. The battery life has been horrid. Less than 3 hours SOT with phone losing juice in 8 hours. This is light to moderate use. Mostly browsing and inet radio.
With My Note 2 and SlimKat, I'd get 5-6 hours SOT and a 24+ hour charge with the slim kernel and 2 year old stock battery. Stand-by time was a wondrous 3+ days. The G3 has just lost 6% charge in 40 minutes of just browsing on wifi. I could see that happening with iffy LTE but wifi? Frustrating to say the least.
Sad because I love this phone for a variety of reasons. This phone maintains a phenomenal signal when compared to my Note 2. It's hard to keep a signal in my workplace but this phone pulls it off fulltime. This is my first LG and love their version of Android in comparison to TW. I'm finished with Samsung phones and this seemed like a worthy alternative. I'll give it to Samsung, though. The Note 2 was a masterpiece.
Rooted/Xposed otherwise stock.

This time while traveling around in Dayligh. The other one before was indoors no moving!
Oh yeah, and No Video watching on this one.

One more, pretty similar result ^^

Is Power Saving activated ?
If not , can you test the battery life using the power saving mode from 100% to 10% or lower ?
Thanks

looks like battery life is impressive. lurking here. might get this one next or wait for the next nexus

So yeah, here we go. Power save Mode activated all the time.
Meaning you can't use it Outdoor because the screen is way to dark.
And a lot of Web surfing indoors....

Mention your screen brightness level. Don't say auto it means nothing. If you do it in manual how high is set ?
Also always mention whether it was wifi only, data only or a mix of the two
In this graph i notice your 4g is a solid green line, that is lucky for you and rather difficult to get for most. A signal like that means very good sot especially since you can also control background apps from consuming data.
Take it this is 6.0.1 ?
seen pretty good sot with that build, like an hour more than earlier MM ones.

Nothing heavy but it got me through two working days with casual use, calls, some browsing. I'm totally content. From early morning till around next day 7pm.
This is good IMHO. Expected nothing more from a smartphone using constant syncing of Gmail office mail, fb, Twitter. Screen brightness kept appropriate for lighting, lowest readable generally in auto mode.
Power saver off, only on on screen shot because I reached 15%

One more Battery save Mode always online.

Power Saving does not kick on until 15% left. I had not used Power Saving at the time of screenshot. I'm not sure why App usage so low. Maybe cause screen and phone much higher in relation?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Well, I'm impressed. 2 days of battery life? Not with my usage habits but it got me through an entire day of no-compromise use which is excellent in my opinion.
My day started at 6am with the battery fully charged. I spent from 7am to 4pm on 4g networks with a good signal the majority of the time. I was on wifi all other times. I have Google Now enabled and location settings to battery saver mode. Auto-brightness is set to about 50% which works well for me.
I might actually be able to pull 2 days out of this phone over the weekend while I'm mostly on wifi!

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Google Pixel before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I will post later today after I fully charge. But I lost about 10% during initial setup and downloading apps. Less than 10 minutes SOT, hardly a fair reflection of endurance yet though.
So far:

Jasestu,
I think your 2nd day results are pretty good. 3.5 hours of SOT and 22% battery left means you should be able to get at least 4.5 hours or more for a 2770 mah battery. That's in par with my S7.
Sent from my SM-G930V using XDA-Developers mobile app

This is from yesterday, my first full day with the phone after getting it Thursday. About a half hour of a graphic heavy game, over an hour of YouTube, some Netflix casting. Navigation was on for maybe 20 minutes, Bluetooth was on all day, streaming gpm and podcasts. Screen brightness was 50% most of the day. Power saving mode was on from 15% until I plugged in at 4% and took these screenshots.

OK, so it's probably a case of needed to recalibrate myself after the Z3 Compact - I get twitchy if the phone ever got as low as 35% by the end of a day....

And here's today's stats.

Not gonna get too ahead of myself but it does appear that battery life is improving as the days go by and the OS settles. I'm hoping to consistently get 4+ hours SOT. That would be an improvement over my 6P (3–4 hours SOT since Nougat) and I'd be content with that.

Today is my first full day with the phone (basically all setup completed yesterday eve), and I'm currently at 4+hr SOT with 31% battery left. I spent about an hour (edit:*talking*) on the phone, listened to a bit if music, wandered around this AM taking photos, and spent a ton of time if Facebook and Reddit. This is WAY better than my 5x, which was struggling to hit 2.5 hrs on a full days' use. Things to consider: it's Saturday and I'm not getting work emails all day, but also I typically expect worse battery life early on as OS is settling in. So far, this is more than u was expecting and is a great early indicator. Even if I only get 4-5hr SOT long term, is still be quite happy with that. Trending for 5-6 is just stellar!

https://goo.gl/photos/ZEifip3kRHXXuVDK7 wow this battery life is crushing what I got even on my note 7. 89% left just went over 1 hour SOT. Well on way to 5-6 hours or more easy. The sleep mode is insane overnight
