Samsung Galaxy S7 edge battery life (Exynos and Snapdragon)

20 March, 2016
No matter the chipset, battery capacity of the Galaxy S7 edge is fixed at 3,600mAh.

Sort by:

Exynos better for battery life. Performance wise, choose Snapdragon. I will go with Exynos. Longer lasting phone is more important than a high performing one that can't last long.

            Just look at the entire Sony's Z5 series with that crap s810, it's a baterry hog compared to the Z3's series which owned the battery department. Quallcomm just keps getting worse and worse in the battery department.

              We're getting the Exynos! More battery stamina.

                    AnonD-77892, 20 Mar 2016Samsung browser is very heavy thoIt was lighter and faster than chrome on lollipop. Now it's just faster, and not by a lot. Samsung dropped the ball on this one.

                    The only reason I'm using this is because of the native Adblock support.

                          If you want battery life last longer, root the device, install greenify, delete a LOT of bloatware apps for which sammy is well known for. TouchWiz turns into LagWiz after a few weeks of usage and needs a hard reset every two months. Most of the phones are like this, no matter the brand or model...

                                    What exactly did you expect from little.big configuration vs classical quad lolz.Those A53 cores are the reason you get better battery life.Also, try full load and see which one lasts longer :)
