Battery Test: LGG5 vs Galaxy S7 vs iPhone SE vs Nexus 6P vs Note 5

2016-04-11
I had a few people suggests that I do a battery test between multiple smartphones so I have 11 high-end smartphone set up in front of me on my desk the iPhone se iPhone 6 LG g5 Galaxy S seven LG v10 note 5 lumia 950xl blackberry Prive Sony Xperia z5 premium Nexus 6p and the Huawei mate 8 I also have lined them up in order from smallest battery to largest battery in a perfect world the phone with the smallest battery would die first but as we all know with smartphones there are a lot of variables that go into battery life like operating system background apps screen size and screen brightness and a lot of other variables most of these phones are unused the iPhone 6 was used for a little bit and the note 5 was used as my main phone for about 6 months for this test all of the phones are in airplane mode with the screen brightness turned all the way up I have a video that I made recently looping on all of the devices I took a han solo Star Wars Lego and turned it into solid gold with the help of a goldsmith which then fights Darth Vader pretty awesome video you should check out if you're done watching this one I'll have it linked in the cards and in the video description of this video here have a listen for a second the Nexus 6p wouldn't auto-rotate so I had to turn it off and turn it back on again after starting the test it had a few minute late start but you'll see at the end of this video that a few minutes won't matter make sure you're subscribed so you won't miss any of my future tests and let's see the results of this battery test the first phone to die was the Sony z5 premium just before the 4-hour mark my theory as to why this phone died first is because it's the only phone with a 4k resolution on my desk at the moment the video that is looping on all of the phones is in 4k so the Xperia z5 is pushing four times as many pixels as the rest of the phones which are playing the video at lower resolutions so it's okay that it died first in my mind because of how powerful that screen is I imagine that in other tests that don't involve video this phone would have lasted a lot longer the next phone to dim and putter to a stop was the LG v10 when I turned on each phone I left running any apps turn on with the phone automatically so I could be fair across all the devices unfortunately for the LG v10 one of the stock apps that auto starts is the useless battery sucking lookout app this was disappointing I had high hopes for the v10 and it finally died at 4 hours and 11 minutes the next phone to die completely was the iPhone 6 this has one of the smallest batteries so I was not surprised did you know that the iPhone 6s actually has a smaller battery than the iPhone 6 someone should let Apple know that they're headed in the wrong direction with battery capacity there is a big gap between the third and the fourth phone the microsoft lumia 950xl died at 5 hours and 6 minutes the Nexus 6p did legitly die at 5 hours and 20 minutes then the LG g5 stopped playing video and pretended to be dead with 16% battery life at 5 hours and 21 minutes trying to screw up my test but after checking the battery history it was on course to die at the 6 hour and 15 minute mark I'll have it scored correctly at the end of this video the iPhone se died at 5 hours and 33 minutes even though it has a small battery it also has the smallest screen so the battery doesn't get used as hard as the other phones which means it can last longer the note 5 was the next to go at 6 hours and 20 minutes of screen on time the BlackBerry privilege the ninth phone to die at a very impressive 6 hours and 35 minutes the Huawei mate 8 has the largest battery in the group but it also has the largest screen it was the tenth phone to die at 6 hours and 38 minutes the last phone to die was the galaxy s7 with an impressive 7 hours and one minute of video playing remember that all phones are in airplane mode with the screen brightness turned all the way up here's a list of all the phones and how long they stayed alive let me know what you think of the results down in the comments if you enjoyed this video and want to see more like it in the future hit that thumbs up button and subscribe let me know in the comments what tests you would like to see done next I do phone giveaways sometimes through my Twitter so bounce on over there and see if I have anything going on at this time thanks for watching hope see you around
