[deleted post]Can't handle the truth? The fact is that the S23 Ultra beats the iPhone 14 Pro Max in endurance rating. Benchmarks also show that the S8G2 beats the A16 in gaming.

      Many countries don't even have 3G anymore. But they still show 3G talktime.

For example with the battery - fastest charging phones destroys them within a year, on the second one it last half a day.
          On the other side - Samsung and Apple. For example with my old S9+, after five years of daily use - it still holds a full day of use (browsing, youtube, spotify) and at the end of the day I still have 20% battery.
          From couple of days I'm using S23 Ultra - so far - set charging option to 85% (instead of full charge) - it lasts 2 full days with 15% left at the moment.

When the temperature exceeds a certain limit, the device/charger will reduce the current which results in slower charging speeds.

                              My S20 Ultra goes from 0% to 100% in 52 min with 45W charger. Havent done this test on my New S23 Ultra. Im gonna test tomorrow.

                                RAge, 10 Feb 2023Nothing is stopping you to have a slow charger! But when u ... moreI'll agree on that. I still mostly charge my phones with standard 2.4A charger when not in rush or QC3.0, but the 67W charger that I got with Poco X4 GT is neat to really quickly top it up when you only have 15 minutes. But since USB-C is common and Ultra also has Qi charging, it's not that problematic. I quite regularly charged my iPhone in one coffee shop where they had Qi chargers built into the tables. That does help when you have slower charging phone.

                                        Two things i have to say.
                                        Or maybe three.

                                        At first ts fine to use 45W samsung charger but this aint included in box and since most users will buy from some other than samsung shop they get some other than samsung charger which will have different results in charging terms.

                                        At second those results for video playback try same results with brightness set to max and same for screen resolution and runa 4K or 8K video from youtube.
                                        Will not be possible to have 23+ endurance rating on video playback.

                                        At third web brownsing is also iacurate as long as device did not had full brightness and several other things. Also i bet they turned off or put a deep sleep to all other apps excluding google chrome. Because if run on Samsung brownser those results will be different in other words worse.

                                        Only talk time could be accurate since most phones turn off the screen during tests.
                                        But again i bet they used super saving mode or put all other apps to a deep sleep mode. No way phone results would be like that.
