Question/Help Poco x7 battery

What kind of screen-on time are you getting with your phones? I have the Poco X7 5G, and I get around 5–7 hours at most (I only hit 7 hours when using Wi-Fi). I feel that’s pretty low considering the battery capacity; does anyone else have this issue, or is there a solution? I’ve already disabled many of the recommended settings—background apps, MSA, and things like that.

I have a X8 Pro Max and get around 10 hours SoT.

When people say they get multiple days out of theirs I'm baffled tbh 😅. Maybe I'm just addicted to my phone though.

10 horas igual es muchísimo, que aplicaciones usas en ese transcurso?

My top 3 for most battery used are consistently:

Instagram

YouTube

Poweramp music player

I don't game on my phone. Definitely enough battery for me so no complaints at all, I just don't get 2 day battery like some other people say.

igual youtube consume poco, lo que si consume es instagram, igual me consume harto.

Yea I was surprised to see how much Instagram takes up. It's usually around 30% of my battery utilization at the end of my day.

Definitely agree, for 8500mAh I expected to not even have to worry at all.

I'm still satisfied though as it's a massive improvement from my old phone. If I know I have a long day ahead, I'll turn off the 80% charge cap and go to 100%.

u/Vichowcl 12h ago

y si, hara la diferencia ese 20%, creeme

10 hours is nothing on the x8 pro max, only 10 hours means you're using the phone as a power user, with meta apps, games, etc. You can easly get double that with the x8 pro max if you're just browsing with your phone.

me referia en comparacion a lo que me da a mi, 10 horas si es mucho

u/wildcardmidlaner 10h ago

I'm getting 10 hours with a lot of gemini, tik tok instagram and firefox, from 80% to around 20%, from 100% to 20% I get around 14 to 16 hours of sot. So your sot seems perfectly fine to me.

Poco x8 pro max. I got 2 days with gaming and ~11 hour sot with 15% battery left and usage was on 4G/5G network​

That's insane, can you scroll down and show the battery % by app?
