If we use the smaller S8 as an example and if we assume the new display will consume about 14% more power just based on the size increase (which can very well be wrong since the new screen can be more energy efficient as well) and the new chipset is twice as efficient then the battery life of the S8 will actually be better even if we go by the 20%-80% power consumption figures you stated.

Mi6. Love miui, xiaomi will put big battery I know. They also prefer battery life most compared to other.

Lol. It doesn't. I was replying to you so that you can think logically why the ZUK can fit a bigger battery. You only spoke of the outer dimensions but you have no idea how the inner components being placed and their dimensions.

It is not very reasonable to use a less powerful battery for a large screen phone!
If so, the galaxy S8 sale will not be good as expected

ZUK Z2 'Vs' Galaxy S8 Plus = ZUK Z2s more efficient use of available space.
I say no more...

Disappointing battery on top of the weird fingerprint sensor placement.
Hmm.. should I better wait for the note 8 or go for the s8 plus anyway?

The screens account for about 80% to 90%. So even if the chipset was 90% more efficient the bigger screen size will be far more significant.

I'm afraid to say that the S6, for example, had noticeably poorer battery life than some of its predecessors. I actually observed it myself.

The new chipsets used in the S8 (both Exynos and Snapdragon) are said to be much more efficient than the ones used in the current generation, so this should more than offset the extra battery drain from the larger screens.

And that the new S8 and S8 Plus will run smoothly and have fully optimized Nougat to run their devices.
Ofc with the Note 7 issue, i doubt Samsung would deliver something that's below the standard of their previous flagships.
(Not a Samsung fan, just trying to understand their logic)

Seems that we need to wait to someone more efficient on the energy use.
And no. The iPhone will last even less tham the Galaxy S8 on battery.

And lol. What I wrote is by logic. The Galaxy S8 will cram many high tech stuff in it. That is why the battery capaciy is smaller than the ZUK Z2. You're the one with the little brain.
Don't bother replying if you can't understand that simple logic

Example: S7 edge = 3-4hrs SoT, ZUK Z2 = 9-10hrs SoT. Not to mention that if you have Always On enabled on the S7, you hardly get through a normal day.
Did I mention that the Z2 got Official Stable Nougat even before my S7 edge.....
Now, random please, don't even bother replying, you're totally irrelevant to anyone with a little brains.

I wish Samsung would increase the battery capacity of the S8. True, the SD 835 might be very efficient on it's 10nm platform but still today many manufacturers offer flagships with close to 4000 mAh batteries.
Even Samsung puts large batteries in their premium midrangers (C9 Pro, A9, A9 Pro), so why hesitate on their flagships?

What it does have is stable non-exploding battery, that lasts 3-4 days with light usage and gets 10hrs SoT, while not skimping on performance.
Not to mention that it costs 1/4 of what S8 would cost. Impossible combination to beat for Samsung.
