Comparison of battery life of smartphones. Who has more? Top most autonomous smartphones

With identical external characteristics and the same use differ in different indicators battery life. The reason for this was the installation: part new iPhones run on a chip from TSMC, the other part is built on a processor from a South Korean manufacturer Samsung.

The guys from the YouTube channel checked how critical this difference is Austin Evans. Visual test of two models iPhone 6s with different processors:

The essence of the test

All iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are divided into two camps: one with Samsung chips made of 1 4nm technology, others - with processors from TSMC, the production of which is carried out under 16nm process. The difference in manufacturing principles was also reflected in the final area of ​​the processors: the chip from Samsung is 8.5 mm smaller than that from TSMC: 96 mm against 104.5 mm(square millimeters).

To conduct the test, two completely identical iPhone 6s models were taken: the same amount of memory, the same color, but completely different processors. Both smartphones charged to 50% mark.

Austin used the utility to test the battery Geekbench 3 and the corresponding benchmark. Before the experiment, using a lux meter, the brightness of both gadgets was set to the same level 200 nits. After which both iPhones underwent Battery Benchmark over the next two-plus hours.

The winner in this battle was a smartphone powered by a TSMC processor. He worked 50 minutes longer“colleagues” from Samsung. Using a thermal imager, the potential heating temperature of smartphones was determined: a Samsung chip warmed up the smartphone up to 33 degrees Celsius, while TSMC is up to 30.

Testing potential battery life using artificial tests has nothing to do with how a user uses a smartphone in everyday life. The operating algorithm of such testers is to maximize the processor load in order to dramatically increase power consumption. In reality, the user is interested in quieter operation, and therefore another test was carried out.

This time, Austin launched a lengthy YouTube video on both smartphones. Both were connected to the same wireless Wi-Fi networks and before starting the test are charged at the same level in percentage terms.

As a result of the playback test streaming video The winner was again the iPhone, powered by a TSMC chip. True, the difference this time was only 1%: the iPhone 6s on a chip from Samsung used up 15% of the battery charge; model with TSMC on board – 14%.

How to find out what processor is installed in the iPhone?

If you are uneasy at heart and you can’t wait to find out what processor is installed in your smartphone, use the information utility Lirum Info Lite.

This application is distributed absolutely free, and to obtain information about the processor, just run Lirum. Pay attention to the model name indicated opposite the item Model.

In the model iPhone 6s processors have the following names:

  • N71AP– manufacturer Samsung;
  • N71MAP- Manufacturer: TSMC.

In smartphones iPhone 6s Plus the situation is as follows:

  • N66AP– manufacturer Samsung;
  • N66MAP- Manufacturer: TSMC.

Conclusion. When testing battery performance using the GeekBench 3 utility, the device is subjected to high loads, during which the smartphone processor operates at maximum power. In this case, a chip from TSMC is a better option. During normal work: reading email, watching movies, surfing, listening to music, taking photos or videos, there is practically no difference between both processors.

Perhaps there is no reason to be upset at all?

website The answer to the question that worries iPhone 6s and 6s Plus buyers. News has repeatedly appeared on the Internet that both flagship smartphones from Apple, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus models, with identical external characteristics and the same use, differ in different battery life indicators. The reason for this was the installation of different processors: some new iPhones run on a chip from...

Despite the fact that the bulk of smartphone sales in the world are made up of models in the budget and mid-price segments, the main attention is usually drawn to the release of the so-called flagships - the best and expensive smartphones in the model range various manufacturers. Flagships are interesting because they primarily implement technical innovations, which then migrate to cheaper devices. The price of flagships from the world's leading brands at the start of sales can exceed a thousand dollars. Those who are unable to pay that kind of money, but want to get their hands on a flagship smartphone, can either wait for the price to drop after a few months or buy last year's flagship, the price of which usually drops after a replacement is released on the market.

This ranking presents the top 10 best flagship smartphones for December 2017. The rating is based on technical characteristics, price-quality ratio and reviews in the Yandex Market (this rule does not apply to new products that have not yet accumulated reviews). The rating includes the flagships of six of(American company Apple, South Korean Samsung and LG, Chinese Huawei and Xiaomi). The top ten global manufacturers also include Chinese brands Oppo, Vivo, TCL, Lenovo, ZTE, but the products of the first three are not represented in Russia. As for Lenovo, this company has been focusing in recent years on the budget segment, and produces flagship models under its subsidiary Motorola brand, which is mainly focused on the American market. ZTE has not yet released a truly bright flagship in 2017. Instead, the ranking includes leading Taiwanese manufacturer ASUS, Chinese brands OnePlus (which is a subsidiary brand of Oppo) and Meizu.

Honor 9 4GB/64GB

The average price in Russia is 19,500 rubles. Buy Honor 9 on AliExpress possible for 18.7 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free).

New flagship sub Huawei brand went on sale on July 6, 2017 and today has scored 68% of fives according to reviews in Yandex Market.Number of recommendations in Yandex Market - 83%.

Technical characteristics of the model: 5.15-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, Android 7.0 operating system, 64 GB of permanent and 4 GB of RAM, support for two SIM cards, the slot for the second SIM card is combined with a slot for a memory card up to 256 GB. Battery capacity 3200 mAh. Octa-core Kirin processor 960 of our own design with a Mali-G71 MP8 graphics accelerator. Fingerprint scanner on the front panel. Body made of 15 layers of tempered glass.

The cameras are almost the same as the flagship of the main brand Huawei P10: a color dual camera module with a 12-megapixel sensor and an f/2.2 aperture collaborates with a 20-megapixel black and white camera, 2x zoom without loss of quality. The only difference is that there is no optical stabilization. Software stabilization remains, but it copes worse with shaking during video recording and taking photos on the go. At the same time, when shooting under normal conditions, you will not notice any difference in the quality of shooting, so there is little point in overpaying 4.5 thousand for optical stabilization, as well as the logos of Huawei and Leica (which helped develop the camera for Huawei P10) on the body. Front-camera just like the Huawei P10, it has an 8 megapixel sensor.


9th place.

Huawei Mate 10 Pro 6/128GB

The average price in Russia is 44,700 rubles. You can buy Huawei Mate 10 on AliExpress for 42 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). As of today, the model has scored 71% of fives according to reviews in Yandex Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex Market is 79%.

Huawei has three flagship lines, the eldest of which is the Mate family. At the same time, the cost of Mate models does not fit into Chinese standards at all affordable price, although it is worth considering that Huawei is a representative of the top three smartphone manufacturers in the world, along with Samsung and Apple, and if you compare the price of the Mate 10 Pro with the flagships of these manufacturers, it is noticeably lower. For example, Apple iPhone X 64GB costs 68 thousand rubles, that is, one and a half times more expensive, and Samsung Galaxy S9+ 128GB costs 54 thousand rubles, that is, 20% more expensive.

Like those mentioned above Samsung flagships and Apple, which went on sale in October 2017, the Mate 10 Pro follows the trend of almost frameless smartphones, due to which the body is approximately the same as a 5.5-inch smartphone with a 6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2160x1080.

Huawei has been collaborating with the famous German camera company Leica in recent years, resulting in some of the best camera quality in the world. This model has a dual main camera, one of the sensors of which has a resolution of 12 megapixels and is responsible for colors, and the second with a resolution of 20 megapixels is monochrome and provides high definition Images. The camera's aperture is a fantastic f/1.6 (the smaller this figure, the better; for comparison: the Galaxy Note 8 has f/1.7, and the 10th iPhone has f/2.4). In practice, this means that low-light photos will be even clearer, and black and white photos will be very expressive. Optical image stabilization should also help with image clarity. In addition, the camera has a 4-in-1 autofocus combo, which greatly reduces the time required to focus. The front camera has an 8 megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture. Photo resource Dxomark exposed the camera of the Huawei flagship GPA 97, for photography 100 points, for video shooting 91 points.

Other characteristics: Android 8.0 OS, 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor, 128 GB of internal and 6 GB of RAM, no memory card slot, support for two SIM cards. The battery has a capacity of 4000 mAh, this is one of the best indicators among flagships. There is a fast charging function. There is a fingerprint scanner on the back panel.

At the presentation of this model the following was said: “The Huawei Mate 10 series represents the first neural processor powered by artificial intelligence, ushering in the era of smart smartphones."

Xiaomi Mi Note 3 64Gb - the most inexpensive of the best camera phones

Average price in Russia - 19,980 rubles. Buy Mi Note 3 64Gb on AliExpress possible for 19 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). The phone, introduced in September 2017, has currently scored 79% of five reviews in Yandex Market and received 93% of recommendations for purchase.

One of them is wide-angle with a focal length of 27 mm, f/1.8 aperture and optical stabilization. The second has a focal length of 52 mm, an aperture of f/2.6 and does not have optical stabilization. The second main camera is used for dual optical zoom. The cameras are accompanied by a two-tone flash, allowing for more natural color reproduction when shooting indoors. The front camera received a 16-megapixel matrix from Samsung. Specialists from the photo resource Dxomark gave the Mi Note 3 camera very good marks - 94 points for photography, which corresponds to seventh place. For comparison, the iPhone 8 scored 93 points for photography. The video shooting did not impress the Dxomark editors so much; Mi Note 3 received 82 points for it. The average score was 90, which corresponds to an overall eighth place. For a smartphone costing less than 20 thousand rubles, the result is simply amazing. For comparison: iPhone 8 costs 2 times more, and almost all camera phones from the top ten cost at least 35 thousand rubles (with the exception of HTC U11 EYEs for 25 thousand, which will be discussed above). Therefore Mi Note 3 - the best choice for those who want a smartphone with a very good camera, but are willing to spend no more than 20 thousand rubles on the purchase.

Meizu Pro 7 Plus 64GB

Buy Meizu Pro 7 Plus 64GB on AliExpress possible for 21.5 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). The older version of the new flagship went on sale in September 2017 and today has received 57% of five reviews in Yandex Market and 84% of recommendations for purchase.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 64GB is the most popular smartphone in the Xiaomi catalog

Average price in Russia - 12,500 rubles. Buy Redmi 5 Plus 64GB on AliExpress possible for 10.1 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free).

Model from Xiaomi,presented in December 2017 andwhich went on sale in Russia in January 2018, has currently scored 81% of fives according to reviews in Yandex Market and received 95% of recommendations for purchase there.This delight of buyers is easily explained: while leading smartphone manufacturers are trying to conquer the market of frameless models, focusing on the flagship segment, Xiaomi follows this trend in the budget segment (although it is worth noting that in the flagship segment Xiaomi has a decent frameless model Mi Mix 2), namely in the new Redmi 5 and Redmi 5 Plus. We chose the older model for rating mainly because of its better display.

The first thing you need to notice about the Redmi 5 Plus is the huge 5.99-inch IPS screen. A couple of years ago, a phone with such a screen would have been a shovel for a narrow circle of connoisseurs of such models, but in the era of frameless smartphones, an increase in screen size had virtually no effect on the increase in body size. If we compare the 6-inch Redmi 5 Plus with the standard 5.5-inch Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X, we will see that the Redmi 5 Plus is half a millimeter smaller in width and thickness, only the length has changed, it is 7.5 mm longer, but this means that the Redmi 5 Plus, just like the standard models, will easily fit in your pocket or hand. The resolution is also impressive - 2160x1080, while budget smartphones, typically offer a maximum resolution of 1920x1080.

Other characteristics: Android 7.1 OS with MIUI 9.1 proprietary shell. 64 GB of permanent memory and 4 GB of RAM, there is a slot for a memory card (combined with a slot for a second SIM card). Powerful battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh. 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor. There is a fingerprint scanner. Metal body. Main camera 12 MP, front camera 5 MP.

LG V30 Plus

The average price in Russia is 49,140 rubles.

The flagship of the South Korean manufacturer went on sale in December 2017 and today has received 81% of fives in Yandex Market and 89% of recommendations for purchase.It’s worth saying right away that there is a standard version of the LG V30, and it differs from the “plus” version not in the size of the case, but in the memory capacity, it is half the size, and the price in Russia is no lower, so the “plus” model was chosen for the rating.

The V30+ continues the tradition of a frameless screen, started in the spring of 2017 by the LG G6, while the screen, due to the disappearance of the “LG” inscription from the front panel, has become even larger - 6 inches (in the G6 it was 5.7 inches) with the same QHD+ resolution (2880x1440) . The display matrix has become noticeably better: the LG G6 had IPS, and the new flagship has P-OLED.

Another major improvement over the G6 is more powerful processor Snapdragon 835 with 4 GB RAM. The volume of built-in memory is 128 GB. Usually, with such a memory capacity, manufacturers do not consider it necessary to support a memory card, but not LG: the V30+ supports a memory card, and even of a fantastic size of 2 GB.

Android 7.1 OS, dual SIM support. Battery 3300 mAh. The battery life in talk mode is 12.2 hours, in standby mode - three and a half days. On full charge(0-100%) the smartphone will need approximately 1 hour 45 minutes. Fingerprint scanner on the back panel.

The main camera of the LG V30+ has two modules with different focal lengths. The first 16 megapixel sensor received hybrid autofocus (PDAF + laser), optical stabilization and a lens with an excellent f/1.6 aperture. The second is wide-angle with a resolution of 13 megapixels and an aperture of f/1.9. The front camera is underwhelming: the resolution is only 5 megapixels, f/2.2 aperture and 90° viewing angle.

The Dxomark resource gave the LG V30+ a low score - 87 points for photography, not making it into the top 10 best cameras. In blind tests, the LG V30+ performed better: in a comparison of six flagships conducted by the Phonearena resource, the LG V30+ won two out of nine tests, losing only to the iPhone X and sharing second place with the Google Pixel 2 XL. They lost to OnePlus 5T and Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (each of which won only one test), and Huawei Mate 10 Pro (which did not win a single test).

It is worth noting the excellent sound in the headphones even with a standard headset. This is due to the fact that an advanced ESS Saber ES9218P audio chip is installed inside the LG V30+, which includes a 4-channel 32-bit DAC, an amplifier and a harness.

There is a fingerprint scanner.

ZenFone 3 Zoom is equipped with two high-quality main cameras. The first, based on the latest Sony IMX362 sensor with large pixels (1.4 microns), has a wide-angle lens with a large aperture (f/1.7) and a 12 megapixel matrix with support for ASUS SuperPixel technology. It is designed for shooting everyday scenes, including in low light. SuperPixel technology allows for a 2.5x improvement in light sensitivity compared to the iPhone 7 Plus. In addition, the camera supports optical and electronic image stabilization to minimize blur when shooting photos and videos, uses a color correction sensor to improve color reproduction, and allows you to record video in 4K/Ultra-HD format. The second of the main cameras - with the same resolution of 12 megapixels and optical zoom of 2.3 times - is used for obtaining high-quality close-up shots. In addition to optical zoom, you can use the digital zoom function, which gives a total image magnification of 12 times. Switching between cameras is instant, and the combination of the two produces stunning depth of field—and professional-looking photos. In mode manual settings The ZenFone 3 Zoom camera allows you to customize many different photography settings, such as white balance, exposure value, focal length, ISO level and shutter speed.

ZenFone 3 Zoom features ASUS TriTech+ Triple AF system, which includes dual-pixel phase detection autofocus technology similar to that found in DSLR cameras. Phase sensors for focusing are contained in each pixel of the photosensitive matrix, which ensures the fastest and most accurate focusing, even for moving objects. In addition, the ASUS TriTech+ system includes tracking autofocus (for both photos and video) and laser autofocus that fires in just 0.03 seconds.

On its official website, ASUS posted comparative ZenFone photos 3 Zoom and iPhone 7 Plus, which show that the ZenFone 3 Zoom demonstrates better shooting in panorama mode, better color reproduction, and copes better with night photography and macro photography.

In a blind comparison test between cameras of flagship smartphones and the Canon 5D Mark II DSLR, conducted in June 2017 among readers of hi-tech.mail.ru, ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom took 4th place, beating the DSLR camera, as well as the best in the world ( according to the authoritative resource Dxomark) smartphone HTC camera U11. The editors of hi-tech.mail.ru commented on this: “ZenFone 3 Zoom surprised. The smartphone does not belong to the premium category, but readers liked its bright photographs.”

ZenFone 3 Zoom has a high-quality front camera with a 13-megapixel Sony IMX214 sensor and ASUS SuperPixel technology, which further doubles light sensitivity. When shooting in low light conditions, the smartphone screen turns bright white, acting as a flash. Combined with software features like Portrait Enhancement and 140-degree Panoramic Selfies, this camera lets you take highly detailed, great-quality self-portraits—and with all your friends in the frame.

Listening to music with ZenFone 3 Zoom immerses you in a world of sounds that regular smartphones simply can't reproduce - because only ZenFone 3 Zoom supports SonicMaster 3 technology and is certified for high-resolution audio playback.

As we can see, this smartphone does not have weak points. Usually flagships suffer from a very average battery, while powerful battery ZenFone 3 Zoom allows you to work without recharging twice as long as the 7th iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S8, while its price is half the price.

ZenFone 3 Zoom takes third place in .

Apple iPhone X 64GB

Average price in Russia -68,000 rubles. The tenth iPhone (X in this case represents the Roman numeral 10) went on sale on November 3, 2017 and today has scored 58% of five reviews in Yandex Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex Market is 64%.

This year the iPhone celebrates its 10th anniversary: ​​the first iPhone went on sale on June 29, 2007. Apple, which in recent years has been offering customers the same eggs, only in profile, finally decided to release something fundamentally new to the market, and it was successful, however, a significant part of the innovations was simply repeated by Android manufacturers, and the rest turned out to be ambiguous. Firstly, the iPhone X received a frameless screen, and even with an OLED matrix. However, this is new only for iPhones, since the frameless display first appeared back in the spring on the Samsung Galaxy S8, and the Galaxy Note 8, which went on sale in September, also has it. As for the OLED display, it is not original, but made by Samsung, and, apparently, Samsung left it for its models best displays, A Apple sold it in worse quality because after iPhone release X users began to complain about screen flickering when the brightness was reduced. The design of the front panel above Apple had the spirit of Samsung in the air, because... if you arrange everything in the best possible way, it will work out exact copy Samsung flagships. Apparently for this reason, a strange inclusion in the screen appeared on top of the front panel, which users called a “codpiece”, “beard” or “unibrow”, and it is not convenient to view content in all applications, because the unibrow sometimes creeps up on him. But now it’s very easy to distinguish the iPhone X from all other smartphones.

Samsung has introduced three types of unlocking in its new flagships: the usual fingerprint scanner, face scanning and iris scanning. Apple acted more radically, removed the fingerprint scanner and left only a face scanner, which creates a three-dimensional model of the face and then learns to recognize its owner in new images. But this function has two disadvantages. Firstly, the system does not understand the fact of growing up in children and one day it will stop recognizing them. Therefore, Apple does not recommend using the tenth iPhone for children under 13 years of age. Secondly, facial recognition will not be able to distinguish between twins, so the tenth iPhone is also not recommended for those who have twin brothers or sisters. And also to those who have children similar to them. Available on YouTube video of a 10-year-old boy unlocking his mom's iPhone just by looking at it.

The edge-to-edge display leaves no space physical buttons. Samsung simply made the buttons touch sensitive. Apple, instead of following a successful example, chose not too convenient option: Gesture control. As a result, using the phone with one hand became impossible in many situations.

When looking at the back panel, you can also immediately distinguish the 10th iPhone from all the others, because The camera block is located not horizontally, but vertically. In this case, the block protrudes so much that the phone cannot lie flat on the table. The problem can only be solved by purchasing a cover. Now about the cameras themselves: they are almost the same as in the iPhone 8 Plus: dual main 12 MP and front 7 MP. At the same time, the aperture was improved from f/2.8 to f/2.4, dual stabilization was introduced, and a portrait mode was added when taking selfies. Dxomark resource exposed iPhone camera X average score of 97 (third place after Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Google Pixel 2): ​​101 points for photography (second place afterSamsung Galaxy S9+) and 89 points for video shooting.

Other characteristics: 5.8-inch screen (actually smaller, since the black notch eats up part of the screen space) with a resolution of 2436x1125 pixels, iOS 11 operating system, 64 GB of storage and 3 GB of RAM, support for one SIM card. The smartphone does not support an external memory card. Battery capacity 2716 mAh. 6-core Apple processor A11 Bionic. Case material - glass. Like other recent iPhones, there is no standard headphone jack, no support for a memory card or a second SIM card.

To summarize, we can say that the iPhone X is a technologically advanced phone that cannot be confused with any other, but some innovations are unique to Apple (since they already exist on Android), while others are ambiguous and do not always lead to user convenience. The high price also does not add to its attractiveness, and the reviews for this model are the worst in our rating. Therefore, first place iPhone X clearly doesn't pull it off.

OnePlus 5T 64GB is the most powerful smartphone in the world

The average price in Russia is 32,000 rubles. Buy OnePlus 5T on Aliexpress possible for 29.4 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free).

This model, which went on sale in December 2017, is the successor to the OnePlus 5 and differs from its predecessor primarily in the recently fashionable almost frameless screen. The replacement in the form of OnePlus 5T turned out to be very worthy: today this model has 83% of five reviews in Yandex Market, 95% of recommendations for purchase and is the most popular model in the OnePlus catalog.

OnePlus 5T received a 6-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2160x1080. In comparison with OnePlus 5, which had a diagonal of 5.5 inches, the dimensions of the case (it is made of metal, as in OnePlus 5) have remained virtually unchanged: it has increased only 1 mm in width and 2 mm in height. This was achieved by moving the fingerprint scanner from the front panel to the back and generally more efficient use of the front panel.

Android 7.1 OS, support for two SIM cards (of which only the first one supports 4G LTE, and the second only 3G), 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor. 64 GB of permanent memory and 6 GB of RAM. If OnePlus 5 was the most powerful Android smartphone in the world, then OnePlus 5T, judging by the tests of several video bloggers, is the most powerful smartphone not only among Android models, but also surpasses the iPhone X. For example, a test on the EverythingApplePro YouTube channel demonstrated that while the tenth iPhone launched one application, the OnePlus 5T launched six.

OnePlus 5T received a battery with a capacity of 3300 mAh, like OnePlus 5. Like its predecessor, OnePlus 5T, despite the average battery capacity, shows good battery life, comparable and even superior to models with a battery of at least 4000 mAh . For example, the OnePlus 5T has a reading time of 19 hours and 20 minutes, which is 20 minutes longer than the Xiaomi Mi Mix with a 4400 mAh battery and an hour longer than the Huawei Mate 10 Pro with a 4000 mAh battery. If we compare OnePlus 5T with Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which has a battery with the same capacity, then OnePlus 5T outperforms its competitor quite significantly, working 4 hours 20 minutes longer in reading mode and 2.5 hours in video mode.

Fast charging is still just as fast: in 30 minutes, the OnePlus 5T charges up to 57%, which is enough for a day of use. It takes 1 hour and 10 minutes to charge a smartphone from 0 to 100%.

The 5T has a dual photo module consisting of a 16-megapixel Sony IMX 398 sensor and a second 20-megapixel Sony IMX 376. Both sensors are equipped with optics with an f/1.7 aperture. If in OnePlus 5 the second main sensor was used for 2x optical zoom, now it serves for better shooting in conditions low light. The front camera is equipped with a 16-megapixel Sony IMX371 sensor, supports auto-retouching and allows you to use light from the screen instead of flash.

OnePlus 5T has a face recognition feature that works in 0.4 seconds. However, for security reasons, facial recognition cannot be used for payments.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8 64GB - the flagship with the most big screen

Average price in Russia - 54,450 rubles.

Samsung's autumn flagship went on sale on September 15, 2017 and today has scored 70% of the five stars according to reviews in Yandex Market. The number of recommendations in Yandex Market is 83%.

Samsung has made it a rule to release two flagships a year: in the spring, the flagship of the Galaxy S family, and closer to the fall, a more advanced flagship of the Galaxy Note family with a stylus. However, last year the Galaxy Note 7 was discontinued shortly after launch due to battery problems, so the new Galaxy flagship Note 8 was actually the first in its class in two years.

Samsung in its new flagship follows the recent trend towards large screens, while being one step ahead of its competitors. While Apple in the 10th iPhone came to the need to increase the diagonal to 5.8 inches (as in the spring Galaxy S8), the Galaxy Note 8 received a fantastic diagonal of 6.3 inches (the resolution is also impressive: 2960x1440). It has become slightly larger in body size than the Galaxy S8: width 7.5 cm versus 6.8, height 16.2 cm versus 14.9, but due to the competent use of screen area (it is frameless, like in the Galaxy S8) the dimensions and the weight of the glass-metal body are comparable to the classic 5.5-inch models of competitors. For example, the Apple iPhone 8 Plus with a 5.5-inch screen is 0.3 cm wider and 7 grams heavier than the Galaxy Note 8, although the latter is 0.4 cm longer. The quality of the AMOLED display itself deserves all praise: the authoritative resource DisplayMate claims that the Galaxy Note 8 has "the most innovative and high-performance screen the site has ever tested."

If from the front the Galaxy Note 8 differs from the Galaxy S8 only in the size of the body, then when looking at the back panel these models definitely cannot be confused. Samsung followed another trend in the new flagship: it used a dual main camera for the first time (the Galaxy S8 still had one main camera). The first camera is wide-angle, with a focal length of 26 mm and an aperture of f/1.7. The second is a narrow TV camera with 52 mm. This roughly corresponds to the viewing angle of the human eye, so it is also suitable for taking portraits without distorting perspective. Both modules have a resolution of 12 megapixels. Both modules have optical stabilization (the same technique was later repeated by the iPhone X). Now you can shoot smooth videos and sharp photos not only in normal mode, but also with 2x optical zoom. The Dxomark resource named the Galaxy Note 8 the best smartphone for zoom (enlarging the image when shooting). For example, according to this indicator, it received 66 points versus 58 for the iPhone X. Samsung added a “dynamic focus” function for the second camera. By turning it on, you can adjust the amount of background blur before and after releasing the shutter. In this case, the smartphone saves photos from both cameras. Frontal Galaxy camera Note 8 has the same aperture as the main one - f/1.7, resolution 8 megapixels.

Now about the stylus, which comes included and distinguishes the Galaxy Note 8 from other flagships. What is it for? Draw, write down reminders, make notes on photos. You don't even need to unlock the screen to write and edit notes. In addition, by pressing with the stylus, you can translate words in a foreign language text. Of course, most people will rarely need a stylus, but for creative people it will be a real boon.

Galaxy Note 8 has 64 GB of internal memory, as well as support for an external memory card up to 256 GB (iPhone X does not support memory cards), but you will have to choose what to insert into the tray: a second SIM card or a memory card. The 8-core Samsung Exynos 9 8895 processor, coupled with 6 GB of RAM, makes the Note 8 the second most powerful Android smartphone in the world (the first is OnePlus 5).

After the failure with the batteries of the Galaxy Note 7 in the new flagship, Samsung decided not to experiment with this component and equipped the phone with a standard 3300 mAh battery, this allows the Note 8 to work 22 hours in talk mode and 74 hours in music listening mode. There is a fast charging function. Half an hour at the outlet, and the battery will last for 3-4 hours. Charging from 0 to 100% will take 1 hour 41 minutes.

There are three types of unlocking: the usual fingerprint scanner, face scanning and iris scanning. At the same time, the fingerprint scanner located on the rear panel will be more convenient for men, because... It will not be very convenient for women to reach it due to the size of the case.

It’s obvious that even after the release of the iPhone X, the Galaxy Note 8 remains the best smartphone in the world. A lot has already been said about technical differences, now let’s compare reviews, recommendations and prices for the two main flagships of the fall: Galaxy Note 8 scores 69% of fives in Yandex Market vs. 55% for the iPhone, the number of recommendations in Yandex Market is even more in favor of Samsung: 71% versus 43%, while the price of the Galaxy Note 8 is 16.4 thousand rubles less than the iPhone X.

We compare the 2017 flagships in terms of battery capacity, autonomy rating and operating time on a single charge. To get the full picture, let’s include the 2016 flagships in the comparison.

Surveys show that the autonomy rating of a smartphone is one of the key, if not the main, parameter when choosing a phone. The reason is clear - modern devices can provide outstanding speed, but the operating time on a single charge leaves much to be desired. Therefore, you have to choose carefully.

As part of this publication, we will compare the new flagships of 2017 in terms of autonomy rating and operating time on a single charge. different modes operation. To make the picture complete and the article as informative as possible, we will include in the comparison the best Chinese flagships of last year, iPhone 7, LG V20 and Google Pixel with its older brother.

Autonomy rating of flagship smartphones 2016-2017

Let's start with a complex indicator - the autonomy rating. The battery life rating of a smartphone shows how long the battery lasts on average if you talk on 3G networks for 1 hour a day, watch videos for 1 hour and use the Internet for 1 hour. In other words, the autonomy rating characterizes the operating time of the battery under standard operating conditions.

The Samsung 2017 flagship climbed unexpectedly high. Unexpected, because the Galaxy S8+ display with a diagonal of 6.2 inches and a resolution of 2960 x 1440 consumes a lot of energy. However, by optimizing software and advanced hardware, the developers managed to compensate for the screen's appetites. However, with the Always On Display function enabled, the battery life rating of the Samsung 2017 flagship will be lower - 58 hours.

Note. Charts are not displayed correctly in the browser Samsung Internet, older browsers and some built-in browsers on mobile platforms. We recommend opening the publication in the current builds of Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox.

Flagship comparison: battery life rating (hours)

Chinese flagships 2017 took places in the middle of the table. The leadership of the 2016 Xiaomi flagship is a little surprising, because the Mi 5 battery capacity is only 3000 mAh. One of the worst results is from the LG G6, despite the 3300 mAh. The lowest battery rating is the iPhone 7 with a 1960 mAh battery and the Google Pixel with a 2770 mAh battery.

New flagships 2017: call time

Of the new flagships in 2017, the S8+ lasted the longest in calls. Last year's phones - Google Pixel XL and OnePlus 3T - became the longest-lived ones when talking on 3G networks. In the middle part of the rating, all smartphones showed comparable results. The iPhone 7 was once again an outsider.

Battery life when surfing the web and watching videos

Comparing phones in terms of time spent surfing the Internet and watching videos is interesting because in these modes the screen has a noticeable impact on the battery life rating of a smartphone. The larger the screen and the higher the resolution, the more difficult it is to feed it, so by default the advantage goes to compact smartphones With Full resolution HD and lower, although only the iPhone 7 is lower.

When the screen is active, the battery lasts less, this is understandable, the question is how strong the drop in numbers will be compared to a conversation on 3G networks, and how much the indicators will differ when watching videos and surfing the web, because in the second case not only the screen is active, but also a modem.

In terms of Internet browsing time, Huawei Mate 9 became the best in the 2016-2017 flagship league. The 4000 mAh battery is enough for 14 hours of operation, and this despite the 5.9-inch diagonal. The performance was affected by Full HD resolution, which is less demanding on the battery. Concerning technological process manufactured by Kirin 960 (Huawei Mate 9 chipset), it cannot be considered an advantage; all flagships are built on modern platforms, there are no models on 20 nm or 28 nm process technology among them.

The iPhone 7 Plus has excellent numbers, which, unlike the basic version, has a 2900 mAh battery. Xiaomi Mi5 and Galaxy S8+ are ranked high. The iPhone 7 also has good performance, which is explained by the resolution of 1334 x 750 with a diagonal of 4.7 inches. Google Pixel again found itself in the group of outsiders, accompanied by LG V20 and Xperia XZs.

Flagship comparison: Internet browsing time

The last mode for testing autonomy is watching videos. The modem does not work here, but it is actively working graphics adapter, due to which the numbers may differ greatly from those we saw in the previous ranking.

iPhone 7 Plus slides into the bottom half of the table of ranks. He was accompanied by iPhone 7, HTC U Ultra, LG V20 and. Slightly improved the damaged reputation of Google Pixel. The leaders were the Samsung flagships produced in 2016-2017, Xiaomi Mi5 and OnePlus 3T. Good numbers Chinese are recruiting Huawei flagships Mate 9, and P10 Plus.

Flagship autonomy rating 2016-2017: results

The 2016 model with a large screen and, accordingly, increased battery capacity also shows consistently high results. The basic versions with a smaller battery capacity are inferior to them, although only slightly.

From Chinese flagships Let's highlight Xiaomi Mi 5 and OnePlus 3T. Smartphones hold a charge well in almost all operating modes, and Mi5 generally tops overall rating autonomy of smartphones.

Huawei's flagships occupy places in the middle of the table, although they periodically slide to the bottom. From Huawei phones Huawei Mate 9 also looks preferable.

The biggest problems with autonomy await Google owners Pixel, iPhone 7 and LG V20. If you often use screen-on modes, you can add Xperia XZs and Xperia XZs to the group of outsiders.

The Mi Max 2 has a minimum of shortcomings - we only note the not quite standard factory calibration of the display (the screen turns a little yellow) and the mediocre quality of stereo sound. Overall, Mi Mix is ​​a cool phablet that can provide a fair 11 hours of active screen time. And there are very few such smartphones on the market!

Highscreen Power Ice Evo

As a rule, a smartphone with a powerful battery and a thin body are not compatible, but Power Ice Evo from the domestic Highscreen company I am ready to dispute this statement. With a battery capacity of 5000 mAh, the thickness of the smartphone is only 8.7 mm, which has no analogues on the market.

Power Ice Evo is enough for any everyday tasks; the smartphone has an MT6737 processor with a Mali T-720 video accelerator, which, paired with 2 RAM memory, allows you to enjoy fast Internet surfing and smooth video viewing. The device has an 8 and 5 MP camera, the photo quality from the main module is quite decent.

Lenovo K6 Power

The K6 Power is a phone based on the eight-core Snapdragon 430 processor, which does not have any outstanding characteristics, but at the same time is a perfectly balanced solution that can satisfy the needs of even those who use their smartphone to the maximum.

This device has a 4000 mAh battery, which allows the smartphone to work for an honest day under active load. We can recommend K6 Power to those who are interested in smartphones with a powerful battery and two SIM cards in 2016. Unlike most analogues, it does not use a hybrid card slot, which allows you to install two SIM cards or a SIM card and a flash drive, but full-fledged slots for SIM cards and a memory card.

Lenovo P2

Our rating would be incomplete without smartphones that combine top-end hardware and good battery life. Lenovo P2 is just such a device; it is equipped with a 5100 mAh battery, and at the same time has a stylish and thin (only 8.2 mm) all-metal body with protective Gorilla Glass made using 2.5D technology.

One of the main advantages of the P2 is its gorgeous FHD Super Amoled display with a 5.5’’ diagonal, thanks to which watching media content turns into a real pleasure. There is excellent color rendition, maximum viewing angles and an excellent level of contrast, characteristic of all Amoleds.

Lenovo P2 is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor (8 cores, 2.0 GHz) with 4 GB of RAM and 32 built-in memory, there is a slot for flash drives up to 128 GB. This model has a really cool main camera - 13 MP with dual flash and phase detection autofocus, the front one is more modest - 5 MP.

A significant advantage is availability of NFC module that will allow you to make contactless payments using P2. Cost – from 22 thousand rubles.

ZTE Nubia Z11 Max

If you follow the market mobile devices, then you’ve probably heard about the company Nubia, whose 2017 smartphones are extremely successful. The Nubia Z11 Max didn’t disappoint either, earning the title of one of the best phablets in terms of price/quality ratio on the market.

The Z11 Max has a large 6’’ Super Amoled display with Full HD resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. There is no fault with the screen; it is in no way inferior to the market flagship Galaxy 7, which uses a similar matrix. The smartphone doesn't lack performance either - Snapdragon 652 and 4 GB of RAM allow you to use the smartphone to the maximum in any operating scenario.

Nubia Z11 Max has one of the best smartphones in terms of photo capabilities in its price segment. The main module is represented by the latest Sony IMX298 sensor with a resolution of 16 MP, which is covered with sapphire glass optics. In good lighting it turns out beautiful pictures, with good sharpness, detail and color balance. At night, Nubia shoots only slightly worse than top-end flagships.

The battery capacity is 4000 mAh - not the most record-breaking figure, but due to the low power consumption of the Super AMOLED display and processor, the smartphone lives for a long time. You can count on 2 days of reliable operation. It also supports fast charging technology, which allows you to fully charge your phone in 70 minutes.

Smartphones with a powerful battery and a good camera usually cost incredible amounts of money, but Nubia Z11 Max can be bought for an adequate 16 thousand rubles. This is not that much, considering that this model will be relevant for at least another 2-3 years.

Sometimes it seems that in trying to make smartphones thinner and faster, manufacturers forget about this important parameter, as the duration of work. Smartphones in their modern form have existed for about 10 years, but their operating time between recharges remains approximately the same. During this time, processors have become much more powerful, screens have become larger and clearer.

Fortunately, there are solid models that won't run out of charge in the middle of the workday. Below is a list of five smartphones with high modern standards duration of work.


    BlackBerry smartphone KeyOne isn't perfect, and the developers made a few compromises, especially in terms of performance and price. Where it is definitely uncompromising is in autonomy. Under physical keyboard There is a fairly large battery with a capacity of 3505 mAh. This is noticeably more than you will get in or.

    Together with the not-fastest and most modest screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1620 x 1080 pixels, the device can work for a day and a half. This may not be the most outstanding result on this list, but it is the best for devices with a QWERTY keyboard. It's nice to know that you won't have to constantly plug in your device to be able to type on this keyboard.

    On paper, it seems that HTC's flagship smartphone has average battery life. The battery capacity here is 3000 mAh, the same as in the Galaxy S8, and significantly less compared to 3300 mAh in the . So it was surprising to learn that the HTC U11 is capable of lasting more than a day even under heavy workload. By the end of the evening, the charge level was about 40%, which is an excellent value for smartphones with similar hardware characteristics.

    What makes this smartphone stand out is that there is no need to increase the battery size to achieve this result. This allows you to charge it faster. Thanks to recharging technology, you can charge your device from 22% to 69% in half an hour. Large batteries often take a long time to charge, so it's nice that HTC was able to achieve autonomy in other ways.

    If you want to become iPhone owner, but don't want to charge it often, your choice should be the iPhone 7 Plus. Compared to the Plus model, the developers increased the battery size from 2750 mAh to 2900 mAh. The result is a device that can last more than a day. This is not the best indicator in its class, Apple could increase the battery capacity even more, but the result is already above average.

    It may soon be improved upon release. As usual, in the new generation of smartphones, characteristics are expected to develop in all areas, including the battery.


    The best flagship smartphones cost between $700 and $800 and have decent but not exceptional battery life. It would seem that to obtain a device with maximum autonomy you will have to pay more than $1000. Actually this is not true. Smartphone Moto The E4 Plus puts all its rivals to shame in terms of autonomy, and at the same time costs $180.

    How is this possible at a price 4 times less than flagships? To achieve high results, a massive 5000 mAh battery was required, not the most strong processor Snapdragon 425 and a modest 720p screen. All this allows the device to high load work for two days. With less frequent use, you can get up to three days. It is unlikely that you will find a smartphone that can compete with budget model. Of course, this is not the most powerful device, but its capabilities are sufficient for most users who are not gamers and are not keen on virtual reality.


    If you liked your previous smartphone, but it's not fast enough for your needs, what should you do? The Moto Z2 Play is a mid-range alternative that offers slightly lower battery life but improved speed. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, which provides up to two days of operation. In addition, the battery capacity can be increased, because this is a modular smartphone.

    Moto Mods attach to the back of your smartphone and can expand functionality. You can add wireless charging or external stereo speakers. There are several modules for (Incipio Offgrid, Mophie Juice Pack, Motorola TurboPower Pack), which bring with them an additional battery. Unfortunately, at a price of $80 they cannot be called cheap, but with them the autonomy of this smartphone will be the highest on this list.

    Currently these are the five smartphones with the best battery life. The mobile device market is constantly changing and the pre-New Year sales season is looming on the horizon. This means the emergence of many new models, among which there may be smartphones with good battery life.
