PureOS, 25 Jan 2025When Xiaomi has same score than is Hyper os, but when Realm... moreXiaomi have consistenty crap battery life on most of their new models for the past 2 years and every reviewer confirms this , so it's not surprising the Redmi Note 14 has also bad battery life, HyperOS just generally sucks in power efficiency. Realme, however has much more lightweight UI and proven track record with good battery life (again every reviewer also confirms this) and there is no reason to believe they simply forgot how to make power efficien phones with the 14 series, especially if you take into consideration that other reviews from the already released in India Realme 14 Pro+ confirm its battery life is great.

PureOS, 25 Jan 2025When Xiaomi has same score than is Hyper os, but when Realm... moreDon't know what you're implying. I've been using Xiaomi phones since 2019 and their battery life has been a steady decline. My POCO X7 Pro is way better than most of their recent stuff though.
And this is weird because Realme series has been very consistent with battery life, so having such a steep dive is intriguing. That's why I said we'll have to see other reviews, since these results make no sense. Maybe it is the 7s Gen 3 being terribly optimized but that makes even less sense given its core architecture and node process.

Myname, 25 Jan 2025Maybe this is why Samsung, Apple are not yet using Si/C bat... moreIt does, just look at the Vivo X200 review
Here it just seems that the 7S gen3 is really inefficient

ashrobb, 25 Jan 2025This really makes no sense at all. I know some of your read... moreWhen Xiaomi has same score than is Hyper os, but when Realme has the same, that is defect unit. No, it's Realme fault. Will see why...

This really makes no sense at all. I know some of your readers are very suspicious of your battery tests since you "upgraded" to the 2.0 version... In my opinion they are less reliable compared to the original tests you guys did.
But anyway, we'll have to double check with other reviewers because these are some genuinely terrible results. These Realme phones were usually very solid when it came to battery life. Maybe you guys got a defective unit?

The whole thing does not makes sense, every other review of the phone so far states that the battery is great, the PCMark battery score is way better than Redmi 14Pro+.
I guess that GSMArena either have faulty unit or deliberately try to mislead us in favor of Xiaomi/Samsung

That's quite disappointing. Phones with lower capacity often perform better in battery tests

With those ugly generic big circle camera island, not even 20 hours SoT could help the sales.

I think GSMArena should use the phone for a week and then do the battery life test again.

Gnusmas, 25 Jan 2025yes, sad, they just become like Xiaomi.What are you talking about? Xiaomi is still 1000x better than Realme and plays in a completely different league.
Xiaomi is in the same league as Samsung, Apple and Sony.
Xiaomi is big player with great quality products.
Realme is only for loosers. Mark these words...

Two possible reasons why it had a bad batter life: less or non-optimised software if Realme, or Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 had problems based on the pattern seen in Redmi Note 14 Pro+.

Maybe this is why Samsung, Apple are not yet using Si/C batt.
Because they know that:
- bigger capacity doesn't translate into longer lifetime, so they stay with Li-Ion.
- faster charge (high wattage) equal faster discharge, slower charge (low wattage) equal slower discharge.
