so we've already done the speed test we've already done the drop test now it's time to do the foam buff style battery test between the galaxy s 10 plus and the iPhone 10 s max taking a look at the spec sheet the SN plus has a six point four inch display which due to popular demand we've set to its native 3k resolution the version of the S 10 that we're testing here has a Snapdragon 855 under the hood and it's all being powered by a massive 4100 million power battery the iPhone on the other hand has a 6.5 inch display with a 2k resolution powered of course by Apple's own a 12th Bionic chip and it has a relatively small three thousand one hundred and seventy-four million power battery of course specs are just specs right like that's why we've run these tests so with that said let's go ahead and get right into it just like we do for the speed test and drop tests we'll be updating the official battery test rankings on our websites which we created easily with the sponsor for today's video in Wix with Wix you can tap into the power of your smart phone by building your own website using artificial design intelligence just answer a few questions upload some of your photos and pick a theme that best matches your style and then have AI do the rest building you a professional website that looks great on mobile and on desktop click on that special link down below to start your own website for free all right so we'll kick things off with the phone test where we're making a one-hour phone call on each phone using the same exact SIM card in the same exact location to help make things even more accurate we've also installed a cell tower in the lab to help reduce any issues with reception we have a robot covering the proximity sensor for the majority of the test here and we have consistent audio playing on the other end of the call both of which better simulate how a phone call is actually made in the real world after one hour the iPhone did pretty well with its battery dropping only 3% to 97 whereas the galaxy's battery took a bigger hit dropping down to 94% but we still have plenty of tests to go so we'll see if the iPhone can hold on to its early lead as we head into the messaging test where we have our robot typing in a string of letters and suggestions before sending off a text we have the same set of responses from our chat bot coming back from the other end simulating a real-world text messaging conversation considering that we're looking at bright white displays here it is worth noting that we've calibrated the displays on both phones precisely to 200 nits to ensure that we aren't penalizing a display for being brighter after one hour the galaxy has 10 pluses battery drops by only 8% whereas the iPhones battery fell by 11% making it all even after the messaging test with both phones at 86% as we move on to the email test we're opening the same set of emails on each phone and scrolling through each one of these opened emails a few times before returning to the inbox and repeating the tasks the email apps on each phone are freshly installed so each email is being loaded for the first time to best simulate how you read your emails in real life after one hour of going through emails the galaxy has ten plus is able to take the lead with its battery dropping down only to 79% with the iPhones battery dropping all the way down to 74 percent we'll see if the sm+ can add onto its lead here in the browser test where each phone will randomly cycle through the same set of web sites every 30 seconds we're also adding in a scroll through each one of these web pages to better simulate how you actually browse the web and after repeating this process for an entire hour the galaxy ascent plus is beginning to run away with it with it now eight percentage points ahead at 69% compared to just 61 percent on the iPhone we'll see if the iPhone can somewhat stop the bleeding here in Instagram where we'll be scrolling through the home feed scrolling through the feed not only ensures that new content is constantly being loaded in the app but it also accounts for the phone having to process those constant swipes which have an effect on battery and after one hour of scrolling through the feed the galaxy sm+ is now at 60 percent battery with the iPhone 10 percent lower at 50 percent now the next test here is the standby test last time we had standby slated for the end of the entire battery test but we quickly realized that most phones weren't going to reach it so for this updated version of the fump of cell battery test we've placed standby rights in the middle since standby is such a key part of battery life so after 16 hours of each phone being on standby with the SIM card still in there to better reflect real-world usage the iPhone is able to make a dramatic comeback with its battery falling by only 8% over those 16 hours compared to the 16 percent drop on the galaxy s 10 plus putting the iPhone only two percentage points behind as we move on to the YouTube test so in this test each phone will play the same set of YouTube videos in addition to the screens being equally calibrated we also made sure to calibrate the speaker volumes on each phone within one decibel point of each other to make sure that things are nice and even and after one hour of YouTube binge watching the galaxy of 10 plus is able to reestablish itself with this battery level dropping down to 33% with the iPhone falling down to 28% putting it by percentage points behind of course with the gaming test being next the iPhone has the opportunity to flex the efficiency of its 812 Bionic chip and possibly make the comeback we're playing Altos adventure here with our robot tapping the screen on each phone every few seconds to simulate how you play the game in real life and after one hour of gaming the sn+ and its snapdragon 855 end up outperforming the iPhone once again dropping 12 percentage points to 21 percent battery compared to the 14 percentage point drop on the iPhone that put its battery at 14 percent moving on to the Maps tests we're simulating navigation here by having GPS turned on on each phone having them actively check for real-time traffic information and by swiping on the screen every few seconds to keep the map moving now this isn't a perfect simulation of navigation in the real world considering that you don't get as many auditory cues for each new turn but in our test we did find it to be pretty close to the real thing and it's still an accurate indicator of how devices perform relatively by the way the iPhone sees its battery level drop all the way down to 1% just barely making it to the end while the s 10 plus still has plenty of juice remaining at 11 percent battery so we'll see how long it takes for the iPhone to die as we head into Spotify and there you go as soon as we launched the first song the iPhone powered down we'll go ahead and fast-forward the s 10 plus where its battery died just 30 seconds short of completing the one hour Spotify test so with both bones out of juice the iPhones total test time was almost exactly 24 hours when you include the 16-hour standby while the galaxy s 10 plus lasted one hour longer at 25 hours making the winner of this battery test the galaxy as 10-plus we'll be updating our battery test rankings after every test on our website which we created easily with our sponsor wix's drag and drop editor anyways that is it for me in this video thank you guys for watching and as always I'll see you in the very next episode
