iPhone 15 Pro Max vs 14 Pro Max / Pixel / Samsung / OnePlus / Honor / Xiaomi Battery Life Test!

How does the A17 Pro powered iPhone 15 Pro Max (4441mAh) stack up against the iPhone 14 Pro Max (4323mAh), Pixel 8 Pro (5050mAh), Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra (5000mAh), OnePlus 11 (5000mAh), HONOR Magic 5 Pro (5100mAh), and Xiaomi 13T Pro (5000mAh) in this ULTIMATE Real Life Usage 100%-0% Battery Drain Test?!?

All Phones are Set to the Exact SAME Brightness Level (Using a LUX Meter). If a phones display looks brighter or dimmer than another, it's due to my studio lighting.

I Run through 15 APPS which include System Apps, Media Apps, Social Media Apps, Camera Apps, Benchmark Apps (to simulate High Performance Gaming), and Games. Intervals are clocked every 30 Minutes and at each interval I show the Percentage of each phone as well as their Temperature in degrees Celsius using an Infrared Heat Gun!

00:00 - Intro / LUX Meter Readings / Specs / Settings
00:59 - Battery & Temps at the Start
01:28 - FULL 100-0% Battery Drain Test
11:02 - Final Results (Worst to Best)
12:12 - Temperature Results
12:28 - Results compared to First Time Tested Results
12:58 - Results compared to Predecessors BEST Results
13:53 - Results if all Phones had the same Battery Capacity
14:29 - Outro & Final Thoughts

Stay tuned for more videos on these SEVEN devices in the weeks to come!

One of the best battery drain test I've seen in a while. Well done sir. Loved the details and how thorough you were in this one!

[tammykalio]

One of the most detailed battery drain tests I've seen. Great comparison and analysis!

[lanakias]

I bought Honor magic5 pro first for the amazing cameras and screen. These 2 things combined with the 512gb 12 ram at price 790 euros. There was no other option for me but I never thought it contains so great battery.
It seems the best phone all around and im glad that I get it. Great video. Waiting more reviews about the new phones with snap gen 3!

[TechNick]

Hey Guys, just thought I'd pop in here and say thank you for all the support! 🙏 I hope you all enjoy the video as it took ages to put together 🔥I also wanted to quickly mention a few things:

1. In the past, many of you have said this and that about screen resolutions and said that because one phone is pushing more pixels than another it affects the battery life. Well, I have been doing battery drain tests for years now and have noticed the difference is extremely minimal (if any at all) and depending on the phone, sometimes I've seen greater battery life from a phone running at it's native QHD resolution instead of having it dropped down to FHD res. Just some food for thought 😅

2. All phones are practically new (never been used personally) with 100% battery health, except for the iPhone 14 Pro Max which has 95% Battery Health since I have used it every day for the past year. That said, I always include the old iPhone which has been used to compare to the latest iPhone because its interesting to see how the previous iPhone performs a year later and with the new software (iOS 17). If you would like to see how the 14 Pro Max performed the very first time I tested with 100% Battery Health, then be sure to watch till the end of the video where I show this result and how it has changed over the past year 🙌

3. I know Samsung just released OneUI 6.0, but unfortunately it's always delayed in my country (South Africa) so be sure to stay tuned for my next battery drain test where I will surely have it running on the new software 🙏

4. I always keep all the brightness levels, apps and app running times EXACTLY the same so that you can compare these results to other SOT results within Battery Tests on MY channel 😃

5. ALL phones are global variants so all of them are running on GLOBAL ROM 👀

6. I know the new Xiaomi 14 Pro is out but its ONLY available in CHINA for the time being. Once I get my hands on the global version I will be testing it out. This also makes sense since the Chinese ROM version always differs in terms of SOT. But fear not, I have a couple GLOBAL Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powered phones on the way to me and will be testing them out soon ✌

The Honor did really good to be fair, they have definitely made some changes to the management of the SD 8 gen 2 because weirdly enough, it didn't score as high in the benchmark as the other SD 8 gen 2 devices, with its results being about 25% lower. But they really did manage to find that perfect curve for power efficiency! Good job!

Have an honor Magic 5 pro. The battery and camera is insane

[JVue-rvxe]

Turn off WiFi for all devices and connect them to cellular networks. Then watch the Pixel 8 Pro's battery dip.

[shrishmallik]

I am pretty impressed with the Pixel 8 Pro's battery life. Finally, i can consider to buy the Pixel 8 Pro!!!! Been waiting for a proper battery drain test since it's release. You have done a great job

This video proves that a lot of people hate the pixel 8 because i have seen a lot of people talking about battery life sucks. You always have to take what someone say with a grain of salt . I appreciate this honest video🎉

[ChiaDai]

2 quick suggestions: (1) make sure to normalize loudness with a decibel meter in the video playback (2) provide a separate full battery drain test for mobile network interval usage on the same SIM to test out modem + connection during the same time of the day (would take 7 days in this case tho so it's more work).

[xmerxmer]

i have Magic5pro and i've been shouting to everyone that it is the most insane battery i have ever seen!
I left it now locked to 120hz and to the highest res forever (no dymanic resolution etc) and i can not possibly kill it during the day no matter what i do. Insane!
(i always had snapdragon variants of S series ..just replaced my S22U for Magic and i couldn't be more pleased)

[rupacFan]

Team Honor Magic 5 Pro ♥ honestly I'm so glad that I bought this phone 📱 definitely phone of the year for me.

[Apemania]

keep it up :D
honor magic 5 pro is a beast, it allready beated the 14pro max earlier this year and i have it half a year now and i LOVE IT, hardcore user and i never had any issue with it in batterylife. just amazing on mobile network and youtube allways running

[MichaelElsegood]

I know these take a lot of time and effort man, but it's worth it, I love these videos and I'm always awaiting for your one to drop!

[keqling]

honor absolutely crushed it this time ! i was never expecting it to even perfrom so well and with the 8 gen 3 we will see some massive battery improvements this year for android devices

[mwj]

As a Pixel fanboy I'm SOOO happy to see how well the Pixel 8 Pro did here. Way to go Google!!

[moh]

I have a recommendation, you can add in the final thoughts part a table that summarizes every application with its corresponding battery consumption. As each one has different usage, because I may care about the battery drain for an specific application/test that I use heavily.

[destroyinghaters]

64°C on Xiaomi? That sh! Gonna burst on someone's hand sooner or later 😂😂

[hezilbeng]

For me, the best battery life videos are on this channel. Again, a very nice video. I hope you reach more people.

[littledrummer]

You should do the test with the S23 Ultra One UI 6.0/Android 14. It actually improved my battery life from 1 day to 2 days total use. Amazing!
