iPhone XS Max vs. Galaxy Note 9 Battery Test

2018-10-12
what's up guys david Hyrum today's video is a special one because in today's video for the first time ever we're in billing the bumble of style battery test now this is a test that we've been working on and developing for close to a year now and it's actually something that you guys have been asking for since all the way back when we announced the bumble style drop test in 2015 so thumbs up if you guys are excited for this video like I am and up thumbs up if you guys want to see more of these battery tests in the future but for now I can't think of a better way to kick things off then with the mashup that we have today and the big boys from both Apple and Samsung going head-to-head taking a look at the spec sheets dye phone tennis max has a 6.5 inch display with a resolution of 2688 by 12 42 and it's running on Apple's news 7 nanometre 812 Bionic chip powered by 8 3100 74 million power battery the note 9 on the other hand has a 6 point 4 inch display running at the default 1080p resolution since that's what the majority of people are gonna be using it at anyways and it's powered by the 10 nanometer Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 to go along with its whopping 4 thousand milliamp hour battery so the question is will Apple's more efficient 7 nanometre chip along with iOS as optimizations be enough to outlast the note 9 or whether the note 9s is four thousand milliamp hour battery will be just too much for the iPhone to handle let's find out all right so for this first test we're jumping into the phone app where we'll be making a one-hour call on each phone using the same exact SIM card in the same exact location we have our robot covering the proximity sensor for the majority of the test with it only pulling off every 30 seconds to check on the call status it's important to note here that we do have consistent audio playing on the other end of the call that way the earpieces are actually being put to work like they would be during a normal conversation we'll go ahead and speed through to the end of the call we're after one hour both phones hold up pretty nicely with the iPhone 10's max dropping to 97% and the note 9 falling slightly behind it at 95% so let's see if the iPhone can maintain its lead as we head into the second test where we're simulating a real-world text messaging conversation a robot is typing in a string of letters and suggestions on each phone with the same set of responses from our chat bot coming back from the other end one thing worth mentioning is that we've calibrated the brightness on each phone to 200 nits to make sure that things are nice and fair whereas setting the brightness levels to their maximum would only penalize a phone that's capable of getting brighter which obviously wouldn't make much sense after one hour of going back and forth with text messages the results are actually the opposite of what we saw in the first test with note 9 pulling ahead with this battery at 86% compared to the iPhones which fell down to 84 percent but it's still a close one so let's move on to the email test where we're opening the same set of emails on each phone and scrolling through each one of these open emails a few times before returning to the inbox and repeating the task the email apps on each phone are fresh so each email is being loaded for the first time to best simulate how you read emails in real life after one hour the no nines battery level is at 78% increasing its lead over the iPhone which saw its battery level fall down to 71% so just three tests in and we have a pretty significant difference the note 9 is 7% ahead as we enter the browser test where each phone will randomly cycle through the same set of 100 websites every 30 seconds we're also scrolling through these webpages to better simulate how you browse the web we're after the one-hour browsing session the no 9 is able to improve on its lead with it now 13% ahead of the iPhone at 68% compared to just 55 we'll see if the iPhone can turn things around as we move on to Instagram where we're not just sitting on one page but actually scrolling through the feed like you would in real life which is important in a battery test as touch input does have an effect on battery life since every time you touch the screen the phone technically has to process that touch one hour of scrolling down the feed later and that the iPhone took a major hit to its battery falling a whopping 18% in this test compared to the note lines relatively moderate 9 percent drop in battery so things just aren't looking good for the iPhone as we enter the YouTube test where we'll be watching the same set of videos on each phone it's important to note that in addition to having the screens brightness equally calibrated we've also calibrated the speakers to the same decibel count to make sure that the volume levels are the same and after one hour of YouTube binge watching the note 9 continues to outperform the iPhone 10's max with this battery at 49% compared to the iPhones 19% giving the note 9 8:30 percentage point advantage over the iPhone as we head into the gaming test where we'll be playing Altos adventure on each phone it'll be interesting to see if the iPhone 7 nanometre 812 by ownership can make a difference here but after one hour it looks like it didn't really seem to matter with the note 9 maintaining 38% of its battery compared to just 1% left on the iPhone so obviously we don't expect the iPhone to last too much longer with only 1% as we entered the maps test where we're simulating navigation by having GPS turned on having the phones actively check for real-time traffic information and scrolling through the maps we're just over 4 minutes into the test the iPhone 10's Max's battery is done with the phone powering off while the note 9 still has 37 percent remaining so a big difference here and in case you're wondering yes we did make sure that the iPhone was an app indexing during the test and we even ran this test twice and got the same exact results so we'll go ahead and move on to the end where after one hour in maps the no nines battery Falls to 28% after an hour in Spotify it drops to 17% and then finally about 40 minutes into the snapchat test the note nines battery finally dies making the winner by a huge margin the Galaxy Note 9 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
