    Screen-on time is one of the basic metrics used to judge the performance of a smartphone's battery. It refers to the battery's ability to power a display for the most amount of time on a single charge. If a battery is able to provide decent screen-on time given its size and the kind of hardware it powers then it's performance is judged to be satisfactory.

    There have been concerns about the 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh battery packs that Samsung has used for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ respectively. Some are of the view that they won't be able to provide the kind of battery life that most users would be looking for, and Samsung's official battery stats don't pain a pretty picture, either.

    Vote below and let us know what kind of battery life you expect from your smartphone. Those who have desk jobs won't mind if its around 3-4 hours but those who are on the move constantly or work in the mobile industry like us, they would certainly want more.

    Do share your thoughts with us on this by leaving a comment down below.

    Results: Unsurprisingly, the majority of 72 percent has said that they expect their smartphone to provide them with up to 6 hours of battery life. 21 percent wouldn't mind if it's up to 5 hours and 7 percent would like to see it at 4 hours at the very least.

    Only 1 percent of all those who participated in the poll say that up to 3 hours of battery life is going to be enough for them.
