Hello,
given common use cases of the mobile phones nowadays, which include GPS navigation, it would be great if the testing could measure also the navigation. Although the laboratory test limitations it will be useful to us. For example, high precision location acquired with a fixed timestep, screen on, and cell phone located on a rotating device, so that "google maps" is forced to redraw the map.
Best regards.

Hi,
Your setup for the testing is not detailed enough, is the gps or bluetooth on? is power saver mode on or off?
More info will give us a more accurate comparison.
And it will be nice if you include testing on a 4g/3g connection instead of wifi. I think many of us don't connect to wifi all the time, but on cellular network most of the time.
Thanks.

Nexus, 14 Dec 2013Hey gsmarena why dont you include gaming test in battery te... moreI totally agree with you. Its very important to include gaming in battery test. For some people, gaming time is more important than talking, web browsing or video playback.

Hey gsmarena why dont you include gaming test in battery test. Its important. You can run temple run in the test. I think all upcoming phones in 2014 can run temple run. Hope you take my comment in consideration.

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?

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,
