I have the Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
with me here today,
and we're gonna be putting it up
against four other Snapdragon 8Gen One Run smartphones,
as well as its two greatest rivals,
the Google Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max,
in this extremely detailed 100 to 0% battery drain test.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra, Oppo Find X5 Pro, and OnePlus 10 Pro
all share the same sized battery at 5,000 milliamps.
The iQOO 9 Pro has a 4,700 milliamp-hour cell,
the Xiaomi 12 Pro a 4,600 milliamp-hour capacity,
the Pixel 6 Pro a 5,003 milliamp-hour battery,
which is the largest of the bunch,
and the iPhone 13 Pro Max has the smallest of the lot
at just 4,352 milliamps.
All seven devices have been updated
to their latest available software updates,
and even though the Samsung shows cell reception bars
at the top of its screen,
I can assure you that all devices are SIM-free.
All of these smartphones are kitted
with 120 hertz LTPO displays,
and while the Pixel and iPhone
can refresh between 10 and 120 hertz,
the rest of the devices
are running the latest LTPO 2.0 display tech,
which can refresh between one and 120 hertz.
All of the Android phones house a WQHD plus resolution,
and the iPhone has a resolution
which sits somewhere between QHD and Full HD.
I have kept all apps that we'll be running through today
exactly the same as all of my previous battery tests
so that you can compare results
to all other smartphones tested on my channel.
Who will come out
on top of this 2022 flagship battery life drain test?
This is TechNick, and without further ado, let's find out.
Before we get things going,
it is worth making sure
that all phones are currently plugged in charge,
which they are,
and all of them sitting at 100%, which they are.
We'll be using an infrared heat gun over here
to make sure that we can accurately check the temperatures
during each time interval,
sitting at around a room temperature
of about 18 degrees in Celsius,
and testing out the temperature at the start of the test
isn't very accurate
since they're all currently plugged in charge.
When we test them out during each time interval,
which we'll get to in a sec,
we'll be checking the temperature while they're draining.
Unplugging each device from left to right,
hitting the start timer on the right-hand side,
we do have the time interval at the top right-hand corner.
All the percentages above each device,
below the branding of each device,
is in relation to that time interval time
at the top right-hand corner
and is not currently in real time.
Of course, charging temperatures aside,
the iPhone was the coolest and the OnePlus was the hottest,
but what happens after the 30-minute mark interval?
Well, the Samsung is sitting at 95%,
100% still on the Oppo and OnePlus,
96% on the iQOO,
99% still on the Xiaomi 12 Pro,
95% on the Pixel 6 Pro,
and 98% on the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The Pixel 6 Pro is currently the hottest
and the Samsung is currently the coolest,
but do bear in mind that Samsung have actually stated
that they have throttled the S22 Ultra
due to the crazy bad heat dissipation
that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 generates.
And you've got to bear in mind as well
that I am rocking the Snapdragon
and not the Exynos variants in this test
so that we can safely compare it
to that of the Oppo, OnePlus, iQOO, and Xiaomi over here,
all running the exact same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1
powered chipset run on four nanometer
process node technology.
At the bottom of the screen,
for any of you that are a bit rusty on specs,
we have the battery capacities of all devices
as well as all the specs that we mentioned at the start.
All Android phones are sitting at 12 gigs of LPDDR5 RAM,
while the iPhone just has six gigs of LPDDR4X RAM.
After an hour and a half, we have 91% on the iPhone,
which is leading the pack over here.
Second to that is the Oppo Find X5 Pro,
strangely enough, with 90%.
Just behind that is the OnePlus 10 Pro with 89%.
The S22 Ultra and iQOO 9 Pro
are sitting at the same percentage of 86%.
And trailing behind is the Xiaomi and Pixel.
And getting to the two-hour mark interval,
we have 80% on the Samsung, 85% on the Oppo,
which is matching that of the OnePlus,
81% on the iQOO, which is not far behind those.
79% is the Xiaomi, 78%.
Trailing the pack here is the Pixel.
And leading the pack still is the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The iPhone is now the coolest in terms of interval and peak.
And the hottest in terms of interval
of that two-hour mark interval is the Xiaomi,
but the hottest peak so far is, strangely enough,
the Pixel 6 Pro.
The Samsung's still keeping pretty cool.
Not as cool as we would like, but still pretty cool,
considering the chipset that's inside of it.
And after two hours and 30 minutes,
we have the Samsung on 75%,
which is 5% behind the Oppo at 80%.
81% is a percent ahead of the Oppo, that being the OnePlus.
76% is the iQOO.
73% matching the Pixel is the Xiaomi.
And leading the pack still, no surprise,
the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Just for those who have not noticed yet,
at the bottom right-hand corner,
we do have the current app that we're currently on,
as well as what we're doing within that app.
So right now we're in settings
and we're checking the battery percentage.
And after three hours, we have 72% on the Samsung.
77% still beating the Samsung is the Oppo
with the same size battery at 5,000 milliamps.
But beating the Oppo with the same size battery
is the OnePlus 10 Pro,
even though they're essentially exactly the same phone,
since they're rocking the same software
and pretty much all hardware specs, aside from the cameras.
Sitting at 78%, 72% on the iQOO, 68% on the Xiaomi,
69% on the Pixel.
Now beating the Xiaomi in 82,
still leading the pack is the iPhone.
The iPhone still leading the pack
after three hours and 30 minutes is sitting at 79%.
65%, which is not trailing anymore, is the Pixel,
since the one right at the bottom
is the Xiaomi this time around, 68% on the iQOO.
Beating that is the Oppo and OnePlus
at 73 and 74% respectively.
And between those is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at 67%.
The S22 Ultra actually still has the exact same
battery capacity as last year's S21 Ultra,
which I got a bit of a mixed bag in terms of scores.
I've seen nine hours on the S21 Ultra,
I've seen seven hours, I've seen eight hours.
Will be interesting to see what happens with the S22 Ultra
and also stay tuned for more battery drain tests,
which include the S22 Ultra, since it fluctuates over time.
And this guy pretty much just got unboxed the other day.
So did the rest of these phones, by the way,
so they're all nice and sparkly new.
And a good thing to note here is that the Oppo
actually turns its screen off
when recording selfie or back video after about two minutes.
Very strange, I did look around the settings
and there was nowhere to change this.
So you have to tap it to preview,
but it still doesn't really save battery life
the way that you would think it would,
because now it's 2% behind the OnePlus,
55% on the Samsung after four hours and 34 minutes,
55% on the iQOO matching that,
49% the Xiaomi is still trailing,
2% in front of that is the Pixel is 51%,
still leading the pack is the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
And when it came to video recording with the selfie,
as well as the back camera video recording,
you might've noticed that I tested out
1080P 30 FPS with selfie and 4K 30 FPS with back,
even though most of these devices
can actually hit up to 60 FPS at 4K
on the front or the back.
I've kept it the same as previous tests
so that you can compare the results at the end of this test
to all smartphones tested on my channel before it.
And this is it.
