I've been a blackberry owner and user since June of 2007 (incredible how I remember that, considering I never wanted to use one before then), and have always cared about battery life maybe more than any other characteristic in a phone. BlackBerry after BlackBerry, I've never achieved the results I've read about regarding Bolds, q10s, even Passports, Privs, you name it. Besides considering many reviews to be false (regarding battery life, at least), I realized, years ago, I was a heavier user than many who review their battery performance. I currently use one outlook account and seven Gmail accounts, post a lot of news (commentary, as well) on fb, keep a lot of apps on my phone (apparently, compared to what I seem to read), whatsapp throughout the day with a LOT of people and groups, read news on my phone, and end up taking enough pictures/video, definitely viewing the same that are sent to me. I've always kept battery brightness down to 20pct (sometimes 30pct) and just accepted that as a part of life. The point is my performance was never, not with one phone, what I'd read quite a few others would achieve on theirs.
SOT is one way to measure battery life, just as is total standby time, or use when maybe the screen isn't on. That being said, I've had my KEYone for six days. Haven't even put my new media card in so my storage is about 2/3 full (haven't carried over all the media from my PRIV on SD card yet) and my ram seems to be 2/3 full or maybe a bit higher anytime ive checked this last week. Also, I'm a qc 3 user in the car or home and was a qc 2 user in the same locations for the PRIV.
Now, I've had varying sot's this week and a couple in the first few days were very high compared to anything I can remember having in previous phones, and while I'm aware SOT isn't everything (necessarily), yesterday was a day I was on my phone seemingly about the entire day straight from 10 or 11am until about 12 hrs later at the end of the night. I'm attaching screen shots because of the incredible SOT I achieved for being a HEAVY user
Please comment and, probably more importantly, send your results, comments, battery performance screen shots if you are also a heavy/heavier user.
Keyone is literally my favorite blackberry I've ever used and that's including all my bb10 devices (obviously that's a ratio of the experience relative to what's available on/in a phone at time of usage - I was a BlackBerry os guy true and through). As crummy as the earnings report for BlackBerry were, something has to get out about how solid this phone is, as I'm suddenly really worried I'll never experience this kind of joy with a phone again.
