Stand-by time refers to the duration a mobile device can remain powered on and connected to a network without being actively used, before its battery is fully drained. It represents the phone’s idle battery life and is typically measured in hours or days. During stand-by mode, the device consumes minimal power while still maintaining basic functions such as receiving calls, messages, and notifications. Actual stand-by time can vary based on factors like network strength, background app activity, and battery capacity. It serves as a general indicator of how long a phone can last when not in active use.
