review of battery performance of lumia 950

Different people have different results. For me, it idles quite well (~1-2% per hour), but burns quickly during actual use, due to the power-hungry screen and some apps. One thing that lasts quite awhile is Bluetooth audio, I could easily get 15-20 hours of that, even without Battery Saver or airplane mode enabled. So anything with the screen off is good, screen on is bad.

Build .122 coupled with the latest firmware allows my 950 to idle at 1-2%.

Normal usage for me (some web browsing, FB, 6tag, 1 h of running with Caledos Runner, 1-2 hours of talk time, a couple of photos taken) makes my 950 last until 8-9 PM each day with 20%-30% battery available.

My best battery endurance result was nearly 48h, but with light usage.

Cell signal impacts my battery life the most. At home, AT&T's LTE signal is usually 1-2 bars. At work where we have nodes in the building, reception is always full bars. At home my phone will drop ~7%/hr where at work it is ~3%/hr. FWIW.

Build 122 has increased my battery life. I'm now ending the day at 45-55% battery left.

I'm a fan of GSMArena and their battery tests.

I think you're mixing standby time and screen-on time up... no phone on earth can last for more than a few hours with the screen on... 5 hours (yours) is very good.

honestly, i hold 7+ hours as very good, 4-5 as mediocre.

I think for a 3000mAh battery, this is pretty bad. Standby is way to bad, im not even calling ppl , all i use my phone to is pretty much answer a few messages . And at night when im going to sleep the battery is around 40-45%. And i turned of most apps from running in the background. Even the iphone 6s plus could last 4-5 days of my use with a smaller battery. So i think this phone need some more optimization. My experience so far is not that good..
