          Thanks for this Battery test table. It will surely be useful to most people, like me.
          I'm currently using a Blackberry Z10 and it works fine for me. But one very important thing i noticed, where is THE BLACKBERRY Z30 on the table? I do believe it will surpass most of the phones on the list.
          Please include the BB Z30, so people would how well blackberry has been improving. Thank you.

            Yonef, 30 Mar 2014how come HTC M8 (20:01h 9:06h 11:14h) has rating 71h and LG... moreIt's because of the standby time. The HTC One M8 has much higher standby time than the G2 which gave the HTC One M8 have higher endurance rating.

                        new guy, 30 Mar 2014love blackberry only. Amen to that!

                          how come HTC M8 (20:01h 9:06h 11:14h) has rating 71h and LG G2 for example (25:01h 11:22h 11:51h) has 62h rating !?!?!?!
                          HTC's battery is worse in all three scenarios and still has higher rating ?!

                                    Do you even realize you're not setting the phones to use the same brightness? Just setting it to 50% doesn't account for every phone screen having a separate level of brightness throughout.

                                    Without even normalizing brightness properly these test numbers involving screen usage are useless when comparing phones. On their own they can have some merit but not as a comparison chart.

                                    Please rethink your testing procedures.
