I'm considering to switch from OnePlus 1 to Asus ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML).
If there is anyone who did the same switch, I'd like to hear from him/her about battery life.
Thanks in advance.
Absolutely terrible. You can get maybe 3 hours of on screen time, the stand by time is decent, but as soon as you start using the phone, there is no stopping the fast battery drain.
This phone is not recommended if you are after battery life.

Hi,
This question is for anyone using the latest CleanRom on their Note II. Just wondering if your average battery drain is around 4-5%/h. I use BetteryBatteryStats. I also check the Battery section under Settings. The most battery life I have been able to get is 12 - 15 h with 1-2h screen time. At this point, the battery is at less than 10%. Is this normal ? I thought I remembered getting better life from older versions of CleanRom. I know these numbers are never achievable on any AOSP rom that I have tried. Just wanted to see what everyone's experience is with battery life. Just post any thoughts!
Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate your time!

Just like anyone else, it all depends on what kernel you're on and what apps you have wakelocking. I've been using Clean 5.0 as my daily for months and the battery life lasts me throughout the day until I need to sleep at which point I plug in... but sometimes, I'm running into fast battery drain due to some apps going nuts on me or when Bluetooth is trying to link from a long distance (where the phone would heat up and drain like mad... btw this only happened to me twice in many months). After a reboot, it usually clears up and after a recharge, I'm back to 14 hours with 20% left at night. I'm not one to be anal about my battery drain if it lasts me until I sleep (because I have NEVER had a smartphone that would last me that long without plugging in... in fact, barely half the day would be when my device would need to be fed).
I'm using Perseus' latest with a few screen tweaks, no CPU or power tweaks, using Facebook constantly, Pulse, SMS/MMS, camera throughout the day, Next 3D launcher with all the fun animations running, YouTube, Pandora when driving (so my Bluetooth is on constantly)... let's just say I'm a heavy user. When my kids get a hold of my device, they run a bunch of games and drain around 10% by the time I get it back.
I am happy with the battery life on my Clean Rom 5.0/Perseus Note II. I won't fuss about it as long as it lasts longer than half the day because that is what I was used before upgrading.
Got a Note 4 with Lollipop on it. Battery life doesn't seem to great. I don't do much of anything that is very intensive and get about 4 hours SOT and my phone is almost dead by the end of the day. My HTC One M8 was better than this. Checking wake locks the biggest wake locks are NipWakeLock and Google App/Google Quick Search Box. Any solutions or is this just a poor implementation of Lollipop? Are there any ROMs out there with better battery life or optimizations? All suggestions and advice is welcome. Thank you XDA community!
I also had horrible battery life since I upgraded to Lollipop. I downgraded yesterday and battery life is awesome once again. I can go a full day without connecting to the charger.
Lets compare Zenfone 2 and Vibe Z2 Pro
I dont know what to buy..
Zenfone2
+Support
+MicroSD Card
...
-Battery life?? (it will be better in the future? maybe with custom ROM?)
-Maybe 10.9 mm height
...
Vibez Z2 Pro
+Battery
+Construction, materials
...
-Support
-Too big screen
-No MicroSD Card
...
Zf2 Battery life is already OK. I get between 5 and 6 hours SOT

Yeah. Don't take the b*tching of the few about sucky battery life as gospel. The reviews that I have read/watched dinged the battery but were comparing the phone to others with huge batteries or just whining that it didn't go for a week between charges. I go all day with mine with medium to heavy usage and still have juice left when I get home at night.
lenovo is **** it lags like samsung and does'nt even have support like zenphone.....lenovo heat eeven more than zen2
Battery life is pretty decent. My Nexus 5 was crap compared to my Zenfone 2. A day of light usage like today- check a few emails, receive a phone call, stream 15-20 minutes of music in the car, look up a couple of things on the web, and I had 83% left when I got home from work. Heavy usage will see me down to about 50-60%. The battery life has gotten a lot better with updates than when I first received my first Zenfone in March.
Hi,
Do you have problems with the battery life on the stock ROM?
No matter what version I am running like 7.0 or 7.1 the battery life is still bad like 2:30 hours of screen on time while just looking on Facebook and Twitter, nothing hard...
My Moto G 2013 had 5 hours in those conditions even more sometimes and that's strange beacuse 5X has a larger battery and perhaps a more energy efficient SoC.
Do you know any costum ROM wich has great battery life and RAM management?

Seems pretty normal for the N5X. Try the search function or read the Advanced Interactive Governor thread for options to you can try. Don't expect miracles though.
720p screen phones with weaker processing will get longer battery life than a 1080p screen phone with stronger processing. Moto G devices get some of the longest battery life for this reason.
2.5 hours is especially low for a 5x though. 3-4 would be average when draining from 100% to 0% while actively using the screen a lot, and I regularly see 5-6 hours SoT with my usage.
Couldn't say anymore without screenshots. There is a battery thread in General for sharing screenshots and you can see examples of which to post.
All the reviews before I bought this thing for $375 from T-Mobile claimed the battery life was just OK. Based off my usage on nougat and now Oreo, I have never seen any of my devices have this good of battery life. On nougat I was getting about 6-7 hours of so and on Oreo I'm getting 7+ hours of sot.

Same here, that was my biggest surprise with this phone. I've been getting at least a full 24hrs of battery life with 7hrs of screen on time. It blows every other phone I've owned out of the water.
Its on par/little bit better with the original Z force I think, with a much smaller battery.
835 + nougat are pretty damn good on battery. Easily gets through a day
Oreo is even better
Battery Life

Nothing mediocre about the battery life it is the best of any phone I have ever had, and the recharge speed is ridiculous. I have always been a battery hog that was my main reason for buying this phone.
Same here... 6/7 hr SOT on Nougat with a LOT of apps installed...
Yes, good battery
Forgot estimated usage stats
I was having great battery life. I updated a bunch of apps the other day and now I have constant batter drain. Even over night the battery meter has a linear decrease where before it would be pretty flatlined.
How do I go about figuring out what is causing this? I currently do not have root.

Well this says otherwise. I read a few reviews that the s8 plus with it's 3300 battery only lasted a couple of mins longer. I'll gladly take that trade off for the super slim design and light weight of this device. And that damn turbo charger is the best charger of all time.
Absolutely loving this device, battery included. The great thing to me is, I can always ADD battery with my Moto mod, but I haven't needed it yet ?. Thin and light device with flexibility if you absolutely need it.

Yeah same for me here. I did the homework before I bought this phone about a month ago. I was expecting a mediocre battery life and it turns out to be the opposite. My battery life can last all day easily with a bunch of apps installed and can achieve 7+ SOT withing one to two days of usage. It blows my mind away with this tiny 2700mah battery. For people who have short battery life, look at my post in the screen on time thread. Some certain settings can drain battery easily.
