If V is anything to compare it’s just the same as sfos, heavier usage you will have to recharge in the evening, lighter use might pull 2 days, the guys claiming 7 days battery life have 0 IM/email etc accounts and no social life (see ‘social drug websites’), if you tweak your phone like this on sfos (turn battery saver on at 100% charge, turn off all accounts and maybe switch to 2g?) you can probably also pull 3-4 days, but who cares about 4 days of a brick, as soon as you start using the display it takes a nosedive

I have seen some reviews that it lasts two days of heavy usage under Android but i don’t know since i have installed sailfishos after i bought the phone
Sounds fake, or maybe me having 3-4 email accounts and around the same IM accounts makes me a heavy user, but I had exactly the same experience when my sfos phone got lost and had to resort to galaxy A15 ( 5,000mAh) and then used xperia V (same capacity) for a while to compare, same experience with both, if you use the phone for few hours during the day downloading/browsing/chatting/playing some game for an hour you will have to recharge in the evening, I don’t believe 4500mAh battery of XIII would fare better
EDIT: and just to be clear, the V with airplane mode on and no SIM inserted waiting for sfos to drop does last around 6-7 days as a ‘brick’ on a single charge, so yes, that is actually something android does better as just turning on airplane mode and extracting sim card would not result in the same battery improvement on sfos, pretty sure 4 maybe 5 days is max, but it is not a benchmark people really care about

Thanks for the info. In my case xperia 10 iii sailfishos with moderate usage and using android app at the gym wth music for about one hour results at about40-50 % remaining battery by night. In android i would expect it to be about60-70 . Not much of a difference. I have also both Beeper (fb and whatsapp getway) and viber installed
Not really sure, with active android device there is tons of calls to googol, microg reduces quite a lot, but there is still background activity, you can probably count mind2 lifetime to properly compare sfos, no gsm bs to have a daemon constantly up, no android surface, you could slim sfos to run on a wristwatch I think

This is really weird. My old Xperia 10 III broke (the glass in several places) so I bought a second hand “new” one. After installing Sailfish and most of my usual apps and accounts, including Patchmanager but no patches yet - the power consumtion of the new device is less than half of my old!
My old phone is around -200 to -400 mA with no apps open.
My new phone is usually around -100 mA with several apps open.
This is with the same 4G connection and Wifi that I’ve always used before as well.
The only difference is that I think the new phone was on a newer Android when I flashed it.
Nice. But very strange. I hope Jolla will be able to find the cause of this soon.
