V5.0.0.55 no change, -18% per day, flight mode, no apps running.
Switched back to Android 13, standby usage with 5G only is around 7 % per day. Seven.

Yup, the Android one is excellent power drain
I had forgotten that when 3g goes off, and there is no sfos option at all, I can reflash to android
Sorry for the necro 
I recently had to start using my 10iii for mobile network reasons (LTE), but before putting it to use I checked its idle consumption. Test procedure: Charge device, reboot, leave it idle with all radios and GPS off, occasionally check battery level.
Let me present the two contestants in this challenge:
- In blue: Xperia X 10 iii, unused with a handful of charge cycles, flashed with 5.0.0.68
- In red: Xperia X, bought second-hand and used as daily driver for 6 years, originally on 2.0.x and upgraded to every release until 4.6.0.15
The 10iii is holding up pretty well, but I realized the comparison was unfair. So I decided to plot the actual remaining charge in the battery instead of percent charge:
I think this shows the 10iii’s powerful, octacore idle better, half the endurance (5 days) on a battery that is twice the capacity.

is they are a small team my advice would be to finally tune one device unit to perfection, include missing essentials (SIP, XMPP, browser…) and move around the world to find an investor that provides a hardware platform partnership to do the same but better and create one classic Linux phone to rule them all.

This shows the 10iii’s KATASTROFA !!!

Great analysis! to me it actually highlights a problem with idle consumption since a 6 year old phone with daily usage is able to hold battery levels for sooo much longer (100hrs) compared to a newer phone with better (maybe more efficient??) CPU and twice the battery capacity.
A more fair comparison would be to use 4.6.0.15 for both so the OS "should” behave the same and the difference would be the adaptation and the hardware.
Agreed, that would be a more apples-to-apples comparison. However, the 10iii is now my daily so I prefer not to start over after a re-flash…
The Xperia X has stayed in surprisingly good shape, especially since it was already used when I bought it to try out SailfishOS. I don’t think the battery has degraded much, and I can only hope the 10iii will be as good. I am worried, though, that the higher consumption may lead to more frequent recharging, wearing the battery out in a shorter time. But the difference is probably smaller in actual use than in the idle/offline-scenario in the test, and the 10iii has a bigger battery, keeping cycles down a bit…
The real issue is that I can compare both the factory Android, and the SF to show a difference of 3x. It has nothing significant to do with SF version number, or (factory) Android version number. Jojomen’s test shows 0.67%/hr vs my original value of 0.75%/hr when starting the thread, i.e. unchanged. (vs 0.2% for factory android)
It is most glaring with all radios turned off. This is a state where the phone should be drawing current only to keep the ram alive - nothing else.
This!! There has not been a device that works properly at the basic function level. Basic hardware problems like this don’t even get acknowledgement. Meanwhile they are polling users for a another device. I want a device with year 2012 functionality: battery life, gps, camera, phone. I really do not care about cpu speed, frame rate, screen pixels etc, etc.
Theoretically the Sony partnership should be ideal, but it is clear Jolla has failed to motivate Sony to do it’s part. Personally, I think the time is right to bring the new EU political/bureacratic interest in tech sovereignty to bear on Sony. Get Sony to make an EU commitment. Support Jolla with a couple of staff to bring SFOS/AOSP up during the product develop phase instead of it starting 6 months after product release, then actually bug fixing AOSP for Jolla, and having a longer availability window for (e.g.) every even numbered X10 n, perhaps through Jolla.
