    What about about standby times? These can also differ greatly between devices!

      I think 200nits is too low for today usage and doesn't represent differences between a more efficient display versus others.

        Nice to see some improvement, I've also suggested you including a call test over Facetime Messenger or WhatsApp, people nowadays use they phone more for video calls than for normal calling :)

          Nowadays all smartphones has very similar battery life..

            Now that's more like it. You didn't mention how is video streaming and web browsing done- via wi-fi or mobile data (but I guess wi-fi)?
            Seems about right based on my s23u experience. I am getting 8-10h SOT, but that's with 80-20 in favor of 5g over wi-fi.

              This is so cool. I will miss the old method tho, since I knew anything over 90h was good enough.

              BTW, will you measure the temps of the device while gaming?

                Question on video streaming:
                Which codec?
                Which resolution? Max? 4K? 2K? FHD?

                Question on voice call:
                VoWiFi? VoLTE?
