I'm a little disappointed with the battery life test, as with many other users, I believe that when watching movies, the brightness should be set 100% and an HD video playback, since most users will be watching in that definition. Lastly,I find it odd that nobody has mentioned how inaccurate it would be to leave it in airplane mode while watching a video. I believe that most of us will watch videos on our phone while airplane mode is off. The next tests should have all these in for a more accurate reading. Otherwise, the ideology of testing battery life would be redundant. The idea of turning on airplane mode while watching is as if you're trying to save the battery life when battery life tests are all about how quick tasks drains batteries, please do change the concept.

I'm really happy with your tests, especially battery test is important for me. But I'm asking only two improvements to it:
1. Don't favor dim screens but put them at about the same brightness, for example 400 nits, most displays can do it (except for some Samsung AMOLEDs). Or maybe 300 for AMOLEDs and 400 for LCDs and IPS' since at least I've noticed that more contrast means that screen doesn't have to be as bright to be comfortable as with lower contrast.
2. Show us the exact standby consumption. I understand that you don't have time to wait the whole battery to drain in standby but you can tell us the consumption in milliamperes.

It would be best to be able to filter all the phones ( or to sort them in descending order) BY BATTERY LIFE.
Because for me this is the first thing that matters (I'm sure that for most people).
Thanks anywway.

Sir,
This is exactly what I wanted. Its best battery review on any website.
It would be generous of you if you answer few queries,
While browsing internet did u used 3G network?
Location of testing and service provider?
Exact resolution of video played?
Regards,
Samik Chavda.

would it be possible to have an additional video test with 720p mkv movies.
i think a lot of people download 720p content rather than SD content and with the latest smartphones capable of even 1080p mkv playback it doesnt make much sense to test video playback with sd content

AnonD-36731, 23 May 2012I was about to post something similar. Using 50% is an awf... moreagree ,
the screen should view a white page and adjust brightness to obtain defined amount of lux per 1 inch (not tofavour large screens) , thatbrightness level will be the test level, then the web and the movie shouldn't be very dark nor very bright.
cheers,

it is impressive to see so professional comparison, I wonder is it possible to list the output impedance of compared phones? because impedance will affect the output power.

Paul, 12 May 2012Hello GSMARENA, it would be nice to have an interactive da... moreI kinda have to choose,either a PS3 or a phone(Xperia Play).I'm still in a big demlia as I like portable gaming but I also like the PS3.It can happen all type of shit till summer and just not get the console at all,let alone I can get a job for the summer and then get my console,even though I wait for the summer all year and just waste it doing something instead of finally wasting time like I like it's kinda hard for me to digest.

boybawang, 12 May 2012Dear gsmarena, Please specify the resolution and bitrate... more+2This is a very good move from SE. They're kind of leading the way here, psoriming updates for their whole line-ups ahead of time. I wish more manufacturers did that. But SE really needs to get their act together regarding hardware, too. They always seem to use 1 year old processors, like they're RIM or Nokia. I expect better from a top Android manufacturer. Plus, they need to make all their phones as slim as the Arc (or slimmer). Most of their phones, especially the lower-end ones are still as bulky as they were in 2005. Unacceptable. I do like that they kind of have their own design style, there, though. That's respectable. But if they really want to be taken seriously by Android customers, they need to up their game in the hardware department, too.
