How does it compare to the S8+?
It’s better than s8 plus without a doubt.

So why does my battery only show 47 min of usage when I start using my phone at 7 a.m. and listen all day pretty much to music, podcast and Sirius XM? I rarely turn it off until lunch. Shouldn’t it show as 7 hrs usage?

I believe maybe because the screen is off?
If it helps my note 8 gets on avg 9 hours SOT with 14 hours usage so I'd say the 8+ is about the same. My dad's 8+ is draining like hot booty.How does it compare to the S8+?

My dad's 8+ was super glitchy setting up too so it might just be the firmwareMy 8+ is getting tremendous battery life. I have a screen shot posted a few above this. I never dip under 50% after a full day with good usage time during that time.

Only app he installed is audible :/Maybe. Or an app issue eating the battery away. I average about 6.5 to 7 hours of usage a day on my phone. Standby around 17 hours. On my 7 plus, I’d be at 20% at end of the day. My 8 plus I’m usually mid to upper 50’s in battery. I’ve once only dipped under 50% and I’ve had this phone 10 days now.

I think my YouTube app went rogue today... it looks like I spent all day on it according to my battery usage LOL

Sounds like apps were actually running, apps will run in the background hidden but 60% in 11 hours isn't bad though. Remember SOT is NOT comparable to usage from iPhone.OK I'm new here and just baffled. I've been on Android from day 1 and slowly hated it especially now with my LG V10. According to Verizon my battery and phone is OK. I've even ran in safe mode and got replacement phone.
My usage entails
Phone idle 11 hrs
Screen on 35min
My battery is 40%
No apps running and killing battery, it's just that bad. I'm switching from this to iPhone 8 plus as soon as this is paid off hopefully around xmas. Can't wait after hearing these results.
