Battery life

Battery life is one area where we've found both devices have struggled with, despite each sporting 3,000mAh units that would normally be enough to adequately power most flagships. But then again, most flagships don't have QHD displays.

The LG G3 is able to achieve an endurance rating of 69 hours, while the Oppo Find 7 scores at 44 hours. Here's how each device breaks down in the individual categories:

When it comes to performance without the screen turned on - like 3G calling - both devices post good numbers. The LG G3 comes in at right around the 25 hour mark, while the Find 7 was at right around the 20 hour mark.

In the end, the LG G3 will last you longer than the Oppo Find 7 in an identical use pattern, although if you tend to do a lot of web browsing the G3 will not offer stellar performance either. It's obvious that current QHD display tech requires some serious juice to keep them lit up.

It's worth mentioning here that Oppo has included a 4.5Amp fast-charging adapter, that's rated to quickly charge the Find 7 up to 75% in just 30 minutes. While it doesn't make up for the relatively poor battery endurance of the Find 7, it's a small solace to know that you'll at least be able to somewhat make up for it with fast charging capabilities.

Meanwhile, LG's rear panel comes with built-in wireless charging capabilities, meaning that you could take advantage of LG's wireless charging stand accessory without the need for a special back panel.

Winner: LG G3. Although the poor web browsing performance isn't something to be proud of, the G3 was still able to outshine the Oppo Find 7 in every other category, including superior standby numbers.
