I know that everyone's device usage is different and therefore their battery life is different. I have a US model of the 17 Pro Max that I can easily go 48 hours on a single charge with and still have about 20% remining with 8-10 hours of screen on time each day (24hr period). My usage is typically just browsing social media, watching videos, listening to streaming music, emails, and occasionally sending texts and make calls. I typically keep my brightness at about 25% but have auto brightness on.
My biggest complaint and issue with keeping track of battery usage is that for the screen on time it only shows usage over a 24 hour period starting at 12am (midnight) and ending at 11:59pm. I wish that there was an option like on Android (at least on Samsung) that show "usage since last 100% charge).
