Battery life is fine for me, but then again I'm not playing with my phone every 5 minutes all day long. Solid build quality, flagship hardware, compact design, and will get updates for years to come... Nice phone.

      neo-trek, 20 Jul 2021 Bought this phone 6days back, doesn’t even last one day. ... moreNo there’s something causing battery drain if you’re losing 50% overnight. I only lose a tiny fraction of that. Also, this phone is for lite users. If you’re a gamer or taking lots of videos, I would not recommend this phone. But for people like me who mostly just message and do some browsing it’s absolutely fine. I’m averaging about 4 hrs SOT.


        Bought this phone 6days back, doesn’t even last one day. Requires charging twice a day. More than 20% battery drain on idle. Charged phone battery to 100% by 12 in the night, but it depleted to almost 50% by 8am in the morning. Coming from a 1st Gen iPhone SE, did not expect such a worse battery. Are other users of this device also facing same issues ? Mine is assembled in India iPhone. Apple authorised service center reinstalled iOS 14.7 today and gave it back to me telling this is normal.

            The iPhone 6 front design along with a dragged down Apple logo with the iPhone 7/8 back with a glassback, wireless charging, a better chipset equivalent to the iPhone 11 (slightly more efficient chipset than iPhone XR/Faster as well), a compact 4.7 inch easy to fit in pocket, a single rear camera able to record at 4K 60FPS easily, a lot of people still want Touch ID and quite a few still have a 6/7/8 to keep that feature, the only downside is the small battery as usual, the front camera capping out at 1080p only but this has more pros than cons, it’s a good upgrade from a older iPhone, just maybe invest in a battery case/powerbank as a drill but most of all the software support that’s to come for this phone, think about it, the iPhone 7 was released with IOS 10 in 2016 and is still being supported upcoming with IOS 15 in 2021, so it’s possible that it will end support in (2026/2027) but I wouldn’t know how advanced smartphones will be with maybe 16/32GB of ram or even 256GB as a starting ROM, who knows, just get above the 64GB for the iPhone SE 2nd Gen if you want this phone to last for awhile + a case for obvious reasons.

It is generally said to replace it when it gets below 80%, but if battery life is still enough, you can also just continue using it. Many iPhone 6s or 7 that have not had their battery changed are probably now running below 70%.

                  Hihi, 11 Feb 2021So you are saying we should only use 50% of the battery?Whoever I said it to was asking about the health/life of lithium batteries long-term. I was telling them that there was a study done which found that lithium batteries lasted longer long-term (i.e. battery health declined at a slower rate long-term) when the batteries were charged up to (less than symbol) 90% every time meaning the partially charged batteries lasted longer in the long-run than the ones that were fully charged every time e.g. 10 years lifetime vs 1 year lifetime. < <

                          Purchased this phone a week ago. Transferring my data from my old SE to new took 4 minutes and was breeze. I saw many comments about battery life. For me, the battery is lasting 24+ hrs. I charge my phone only once from 20% warning to 100%. Batter life will very from person to person, as I don't have YouTube on my phone, I don't watch YouTube/Netflix/Prime Videos on my Phone, I don't play games on my phone. I use it to make calls, iMessage, SMS, Browse, click photos and listen to podcasts & Music via bluetooth headphones. So if your usage is similar to mine, you should be fine with its current battery.

                                  Reading opinions, I'm glad I didn't buy SE. Battery on my 7 is trash despite it's on 91% but I'll keep it until it gets below 80%.

                                    Don’t go buy the CPU consumes less power, OS is optimised, battery lasts a day, my usage is less bull crap. Just one more iOS update and the battery takes a hit. Even moving from 14.5 to 14.6 has battery issues, imagine going to iOS 15.

You sound like someone's grandparent t... moreYou are part of the problem, sure, the phone suits the energy capacity and necessity byt not being crammed the fuck in with peripherals so as to not drain in, but you could make the same expense for higher quality and value WHILE having longer battery life despite the larger ammount of features, moto g stylus, ONE brand phones, Asus, japanese phones specifically are great value for the money, wanting a simple phone come at lower places of the hundreds but not a COUPLE hundred dollars and with the same quality and ammount of features.
                                        You are arguing like an alcoholic or frat guy justifiying their decadent use of substances waving it off as if "social gatherings" are enough justification to poison yourself on the daily like the obese people that keep going to the Heart Surgery restaurant despite the owner and the store themselves telling their customers that they shouldn't over-eat or eat unhealthy at all, but people will always find themselves entitled when others tkae the desicion for themselves to suffer when the concept of accountability, consequences and responsability exist.
