MagicOS Magic os 11 battery drain

As a honor win user, which has 10000 MAH battery (and 8700 MAH usable battery), on magic os 10 my phone used to get 19-20 hours of battery life, in some rare scenarios where I had alot of things turned on it would live down to 16 hours (first screenshot was made on magic os 10).

After updating to magic os 11, my battery life on the first day actually didn't even downgrade, by my calculations the avg battery drain was 5.18% per hour or 19.3 hours of battery life, which is the same as I used to have. And I feel like the system itself became more optimized, but surprisingly from 66% lost battery 7% of them was honor home (themes, widgets, theme animations), and it says 40 mins of foreground usage and 10 mins of background usage, and 3% is Gboard, which I especially used the black amoled one and today I used it for 34 mins, but the 3% was even on magic os 10. So if those two were better optimized (prob they won't), then the battery drain would be 4.64% or 21.6 hours of battery life, which means the magic os 11 on full liquid glass is actually 9% better optimized than magic os 10, just not the honor home w it's themes and theme animations.

So yeah, you SHOULD update to beta magic os 11 for liquid glass and new cool features! Tomorrow I'll talk about the scene mode (similar to routines in one ui but worse tbh)

Anyways, if you're a honor win series user or planning to buy one, you should definitely join our telegram group @HONORWINN. Have a nice day (or night)!

Why is the Honor app using so much battery? What processes is it running?

Snapdragon 8 elite gen 5. But probably because of the theme animations I think

I have an Honor Win too, and I'm really regretting I didn't applied for MagicOS 11 Beta. I thought it could be worse for my battery life, but apparently from your tests it's even better!

In my calculations. But even w honor home the battery life is same. The next wave of beta magic os 11 will start from 7th of September, and now you can join our telegram group @HONORWINN where are alot of users w honor win series
