        AnonD-173242, 29 Sep 2016your battery test results are way too abstract from real wo... morejust keep in mind that battery is so dependant on the usage, i'll give u a fast example, they can say it's 4h SoT and u buy it, play ur favourite game and it lasts 6h, u won't be able to explain why just on numbers, same goes the other way around, each device have different software for battery drain in different situations, if u had a bad experience with HTC10 take it in consideration that the way u use ur phone does not match its battery, contrary to Sony (that gave u better life) GSMarena test just specifics like browsing video and such with the same settings in all (200 nits, no stamina mode or power saving mode, etc) even so, take it just as a reference cuz nobody will test it the way u'll use it exactly ^_^

          Plastic is use by most of the Samsung phones."

          You may love Qnovo as you want,but with this kind of ignorance you fail 5th grade Chemistry!
          And don't even want to start about your metaphore about "swords,refining,aluminium"

            your battery test results are way too abstract from real world situations. Since the HTC 10 gave me the worst battery life experience iv had with a smart phone till date and the Z5 fared much much better in comparison.

              Nice phone Sony except the ram of phone maybe you nailed the phone

                Curious as to why GSMA does not compare this with Moto Z Force in the conclusion page.
                ;)

                  iPhone has antenna stripes clearly visible at the back, prone to damage.
                  Galaxy S7 isn't even full metal. S7 has a glass back if you didn't notice.

                          I just don't get it, how you guys are testing batteries!?
                          Whole world knows that in reality Sony have best battery lifes, and in GSMarena testing Samsung beats it by far!!!!
                          Ok, i can't say nothing about this model, i did not try it...but S7 is terrible, as S6 was too, and S5... And all of them on those tests shows better results then Sony's flagships... And that just cant be regular testing results.

                            camera has wide view angle and objects on pictures more compressed in
                            photo frame than others.

                              XtremE16, 29 Sep 2016RAM shouldn't have much of an effect on GeekBench scores - ... morebecause forming alkalido is hard and result is not good for sony that has its standards for design phones. polycarbonate have beter feel in hand and don't make it like soap ! it is better than metal frame.

                                I am very impressed with the battery department . It also has Qnovo adaptive charging. For a mobile phone a battery is a very important factor.

The XZ have 2X2 Wifi MIMO, I think with this design will have great performance. iphone 7 I don't use it because out of my budget and now it even don't have 3.5mm jack for my premium earphone.
