walkman8, 08 Nov 2023Now that's more like it. You didn't mention how i... moreThis.

Providing an option to let us toggle between stats for use on 5G/4G versus on wifi would be great.

    Checking the new results, what we can see right away is how obsolete the old test was.

      You should move to 5G instead of 4G testing

        As a Top 3 phones would be Oukitel WP19, Unihertz Tank and Doogee V Max.
        From Tablet RT 7 by oukitel is a very easy winner and battery king among all devices phones or tablets.

          Motorola edge 40 pro not even on list what a shame.
          Whathewer.

            This is great! It's much more representative of how we use our phones today. Only problem is fiddling with the ratios is extremely finicky and rarely does what you want. Hopefully that will be ironed out soon.

              Why do iPhones have lower call scores and higher video streaming scores compared to other phones? Do you think it is because of worse power efficiency of their cellular modems but better power efficiency elsewhere? And if that is the reason, do you think that video and web browsing scores for iPhones would be more affected than other phones if the tests were run on 4G/5G instead of WiFi? Thank you.

                  I hope you can still figure out a metric to compare the standby time. I guess we could use call time as a placeholder for that as most phones shouldn't run that many processes in the background during a call and it is the cell/data link via the modem that is the bigger power draw during standby.

                    Wow gsmarena this is really amazing and helpful and mine is 12:20 of active usage, kudos to you'll all gsmarena team 👍👏

                      So, nothing a standard adult power user do with phones. Roger that.

                          No way Sony 5v is now above 10v.
                          It is impossible.

                          Previous method, difference was more than 40h.

                            taghack, 08 Nov 2023On the subject of idle testing: Throughout the years of ... moreno endurance rating = useless test and useless review

                              Long overdue. But it'd be better if the calling test was 5G / 4G where 5G isn't available.
