The Oppo Find N2 Flip is a smartphone with an innovative flip design. It has a high-quality look and feels well-built, providing durability to withstand daily wear and tear. When unfolded, the 6.8-inch display looks like a full-sized smartphone and an anti-fingerprint coating stops smears from appearing on the screen. The crease on its screen is hardly noticeable, thanks to the Flexion Hinge with a waterdrop design. Having a Reticular Matrix Plate, it slides out of the way when the phone is closed and locks back into place, closing completely flat, unlike the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. OPPO state that the hinge will work for more than 400,000 folds - this equates to the device being opened and closed 100 times a day for 10 years! One of the standout features of the OPPO Find N2 Flip is the camera system. Often foldable smartphones suffer from insufficient camera functionality and quality. However, this is not the case with this smartphone. Powered by Sony's IMX890 sensor (as used in the OnePlus 11), the OPPO's MariSilican X imaging NPU assists with image processing. Although lacking in optical image stabilisation, OPPO's camera technology is impressive. The hinge mechanism can support the phone at any angle between 45 and 110 degrees, enabling interesting camera usage, including tripod mode, waist-level shooting and 'camcorder' mode. The OPPO Find N2 Flip could be a direct comparison to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Despite being half the size, the OPPO Find N2 Flip comes in a similar package as the larger OPPO Find N2. Inside, the contents are similar, except for the case. Two transparent hard plastic snap-on covers are included, one for each half of the device. It is also shipped with a 44W SUPERVOOC PD charger and cable.

SMARTPHONE TIER: MID Battery Capacity mAh: 5000 Sony Xperia 10 IV - Best-In-Class Battery Performance Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: 38/100 Overall Battery Performance Score: Ranking #96 Mid Tier Ranking: #9 Credit Image: Sony This review offers all you need to know about the Sony Xperia 10 IV smartphone. Overview The Sony Xperia 10 IV looks a lot like the Xperia 10 III. The sides of the Sony Xperia 10 IV are flatter, and it lacks a dedicated Google Assistant button. Additionally, the back of the phone is made of plastic instead of glass, contributing to a lighter overall weight. With an IP65/IP68 rating, the phone provides dust and water protection, allowing it to withstand submersion in water at a depth of 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes. Such durability is uncommon and impressive for a smartphone at this price. On the Sony Xperia 10 IV, the phone frame houses a fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the standard power and volume buttons. The camera sits flush with the rear, resulting in a more sleek and compact appearance. Being an exceptionally slim and lightweight smartphone, the Sony Xperia 10 IV keeps its hefty 5,000 mAh battery hidden. It measures 153 x 67 x 8.3mm and weighs 161g, making it suitable for most pockets or purses. Being so compact in design, the Sony Xperia 10 IV makes it convenient for users to carry it around without feeling bulky or weighed down. Also, it has an ergonomic feel, ensuring a comfortable grip and ease of handling. The Sony Xperia 10 IV joins the Mid Tier (€200-€499), being a more affordable smartphone category. What's it like to Use? The Sony Xperia 10 IV features a vibrant 6-inch OLED display with 1080 x 2520 pixels resolution. The screen is made with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus for added scratch resistance. One drawback is the 60Hz refresh rate, lower than competitors offering 90Hz or 120Hz panels. However, the screen performs well for video streaming and social media browsing. The Sony Xperia 10 IV has a compact size due to its relatively small display and narrow form factor with a 21:9 aspect ratio. It allows for easy single-handed use, but accessing the top of the screen may still require both hands. This is addressed by enabling users to access the notification pane anywhere on the home screen. The FHD+ display with a 2520 x1080 pixels resolution provides sharp visuals and vibrant colours due to OLED technology. The default "Standard" display mode offers punchy colours, while the "Original" mode delivers a more natural look. How does it perform? Overall, the Sony Xperia 10 IV delivers a smooth battery performance, although occasional stuttering may occur during demanding tasks like quickly switching between complex apps. Nevertheless, this minor issue hardly impacts the overall experience, as most apps and games run smoothly. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G chipset powers the device, slightly evolving from the previous 690 chipset. Built on a 6nm manufacturing process, the Snapdragon 695 offers improved efficiency. The chipset comprises two Kryo 660 Gold (Cortex-A78) cores clocked at 2200 MHz and six Kryo 660 Silver (Cortex-A55) cores clocked at 1700 MHz. This innovative architecture balances performance and battery life, enabling the Sony Xperia 10 IV to achieve impressive longevity. With 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal memory (expandable up to 1TB via a microSD card slot), the device provides ample storage space. It's worth noting that the Sony Xperia 10 IV features a headphone jack, which is becoming increasingly rare in modern smartphones. However, it lacks accurate stereo sound output, which may be a drawback compared to competitors that offer this feature. The camera setup of the Sony Xperia 10 IV retains the same triple camera system as its predecessor. This setup comprises a wide 27mm lens, an ultrawide 16mm lens, and a telephoto 54mm lens. In theory, this configuration offers versatility and covers many shooting scenarios. Also, this smartphone is available in four colours: Black, White, Mint, and Lavender. What else is in the box? Sony has taken a step towards sustainability by eliminating plastic packaging. The box does not include a charger or USB cable but instead contains a significant amount of folded paper, which raises questions about why Sony didn't reduce the packaging size to better fit the phone. A Quick Summary The Sony Xperia 10 IV offers a significant improvement over previous Xperia smartphones, one being it uses Gorilla Glass Victus, which is stronger and more resistant to scratches. It has many desirable features, including a telephoto camera, excellent battery performance and an IP68 rating. However, there are a few areas where this smartphone is genuinely lacking, with slow and no wireless charging and only a 60Hz refresh rate display. The Sony Xperia 10 IV remains a reliable choice for users who want a sleek and solid smartphone with excellent battery performance and a top-grade 6-inch AMOLED display. Product - Good Points The Sony Xperia 10 IV has the following features: lightweight and a hand-fit design excellent battery life P65/68 rated having a tough, water-resistant design triple-lens camera with improved features Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 display protection Product - Be Aware of Points The Sony Xperia 10 IV lacks in performance in the following ways: lacks performance, so not ideal for gaming lacks camera image quality, especially in night mode only has a 60Hz display screen refresh there is no stereo speaker poor charging speed comes with no charging adapter Smartphone Battery Performance Score and Battery Performance Results ViserMark brings you a Smartphone Performance Score based on different criteria and benchmarks for evaluating a smartphone's performance.

Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: Using repeatable and rigorous testing criteria, ViserMark measures battery performance using real-life scenarios and live networks. The test results are collated with calculations from smartphone Battery Life, Power Efficiency, and Charging results that total a score between 0 and 100. This is the number displayed on the Battery Performance ViserMark Label shown below. The Sony Xperia 10 IV achieved a Battery Performance Score of 38 out of hundred. Being classified as a ViserMark Mid Tier (€200-€499) smartphone, we can see other comparable devices with similar Battery Performance Scores within this tier. The chart above shows two other smartphones, the Realme Narzo 50 and the Nothing Phone 1, with slightly higher Battery Performance Scores than the Sony Xperia 10 IV. However, with both achieving scores over 40, the Realme Narzo 50 leads the way with a score of 46. It's impressive that only 8 marks separate all three mobile phones with"unique offerings. The Realme Narzo 50, launched in February 2022, offers excellent value for money. It runs UI 3.0, based on Android 12, and has benefited from multiple upgrades and improved technology integrations introduced by Realme, which have contributed to a much-improved performance. The 6.6-inch IPS display, with an FHD+ resolution and a 180Hz touch sampling rate, provides smooth graphics. However, the 120Hz refresh rate, unlike the Sony Xperia 10 IV having only 60Hz, makes it a perfect choice for gamers on a tight budget. It also offers a Gaming Mode to customise your games' themes and alert preferences. Making its debut in July 2022, the Nothing Phone 1 offers wireless charging and a fast screen refresh rate than the Sony Xperia 10 IV. Being powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, the Nothing Phone 1 is available with 8G of RAM and 128GB of storage. The Sony Xperia 10 IV was launched in May 2022, and although powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, it's run by an older version, so this may account for the lack of battery performance. One of the highlights of the Nothing Phone 1 is its unique notification system. This "Ear (1) phone" system uses the phone's back panel to display various notifications and messages and a series of glyphs that appear around the edges of the display to alert users to incoming calls, messages, and other information. Let us discover if our battery performance testing results can show more key improvements.

The Battery Life ViserMark Label displays the "Days-of-Use" in both actual days and provides accurate information in hours. It reflects the usage of a smartphone from a full charge. How long will the Sony Xperia 10 IV battery last? ViserMark understands that this is a key factor when considering any smartphone, and we are pleased to announce that the Sony Xperia 10 IV delivered on battery performance. With an impressive 2 days of use, translating into 50 hours between charges, it nudges ahead of the Nothing Phone 1 by 1 hour. All three comparative smartphones can last up to 2 days, and it must be said that most smartphones in the Mid Tier can also match this remarkable battery performance. With the introduction of hours added to the ViserMark Battery Life Label, it is even easier to see just how competitive the devices are in their functionality. With many manufacturers opting for a 5000 mAh battery capacity, as used in the Sony Xperia 10 IV and the Realme Narzo 50, the Nothing Phone 1 has a smaller battery capacity of 4500 mAh. From the chart, the Nothing Phone 1 can still deliver on battery performance and is only marginally behind the Sony Xperia 10 IV. Notably, both are powered by Snapdragon chipsets providing more power efficiency and a smooth experience. Often the display is one of the most power-hungry components of a smartphone. The Nothing Phone 1 has a 6.5-inch screen, and with a 6.4-inch screen, the Realme Narzo, both smartphones are more significant than the 6.0-inch Sony Xperia 10 IV. All devices take advantage of pre-set features like adaptive brightness, which automatically adjusts screen brightness based on ambient lighting and can help conserve battery life. The Realme Narzo 50 is ideal for gaming, equipped with powerful octa-core architecture comprising ARM Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55. The CPU reaches clock speeds up to 2.05GHz, delivering a seamless gaming experience. A larger battery capacity helps to ensure smooth performance and an excellent all-around user experience. Activities like gaming, video streaming, or using resource-intensive apps can consume more power than tasks like texting or checking emails. With Sony, Nothing, and now Realme offering regular software and security updates, smartphones can benefit from further optimisations to enhance battery performance. Other smartphone Battery Life results can be viewed as ViserMark Labels in the Smartphone Ranking Table. Power Efficiency Smartphone Power Efficiency is crucial for smartphone users as it directly impacts battery life and overall device usage. It refers to the ability of a smartphone to maximise its performance while minimising power consumption. Calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity and expressed in "Leaves", it reflects a rating between 1 being the least and 5 being the most power efficient. How power efficient is the Sony Xperia 10 IV? The Sony Xperia 10 IV was awarded 1 out of 5 as a smartphone battery efficiency score. This matches the Realme Narzo 50 when tested for battery efficiency, although the Nothing Phone 1 did achieve a higher rating. Comparison of Smarsmartphone'shones in the Mid Tier As the Sony Xperia 10 IV and the Nothing Phone 1 use the latest Snapdragon processors, they help to provide more power efficiency.

Most of today’s mobile phones have great usability and countless features, but often they lack insufficient battery life performance. With mobile phones now being an integral part of life, most people expect the battery life to last for at least 1 day before charging is required. These tips will explain how to manage battery life, so keep reading to learn more about powering a mobile phone for longer. The experts at ViserMark have made it easier for everyone to make the best choice when selecting a mobile phone. One of the most important and key consideration is that of battery performance. ViserMark have tested and reviewed 100’s of mobile phones, so if you are looking for a new mobile phone, compare reviews here Everyone wants their mobile phone to be available to use when they need it, however, the reality is that when battery power is running low it has a much bigger impact on our productivity than it used to. So our experts have compiled these 10 top tips to help you to increase the battery life of your mobile phone. 1. Reduce Screen Brightness If you want to save the battery life of your mobile, this is the simplest one to remember. With much of the power being consumed by the screen, you can easily save battery life by manually reducing the brightness or use the auto-brightness feature available included in many mobile phones. Lowering the refresh rate (option available for some devices) or lowering the resolution will also have a positive impact on the battery life. 2. Good Charging Practices It is an important step to save battery life because discharging and overcharging directly stresses mobile phone batteries by reducing their life as well as their performance. You need to avoid draining your mobile battery all the way to 0% and leaving it charging once you have reached 100%. 3. Darken Your Applications Look at your current applications installed on your mobile phone. How many of them are displayed using bright colours like white? If you can always choose a dark theme if possible. Many more of today’s applications are already choosing to use a dark theme in their settings to save battery life. This applies to devices with OLED screens. 4. Get to Know Wi-Fi Connecting to Wi-Fi will help to save battery life, as constantly searching for a cellular network consumes battery power. By going to the settings panel you can disable cellular data instead to keep WiFi only. Remember to switch on again when you need cellular data and don't have WiFi coverage. 5. Reduce Screen Timeout Often the display is turned on, so when a mobile phone is not being used the screen will automatically turn off, usually in about 2 minutes. By lowering the time or turning off the ‘always on' display will help to extend the battery life longer. 6. Turn off Apps when not in use With so many applications available and in use on a mobile phone, often they remain running in the background both draining mobile phone memory and battery. Remember to regularly disable Apps to save battery life. 7. Use Location Features when needed Location services can be extremely useful, although they are a key contributor to draining battery life. By turning them off when they are not needed will add power to battery life. 8. Turn off Bluetooth Using Bluetooth will drain your mobile phone battery fast when listening to radios or playing music wirelessly. Turning off Bluetooth will preserve mobile phone battery life. 9. Uninstall Unused Applications Some applications tend to use an unequal amount of power, so it is good to regularly delete applications that are no longer required. Often there are lighter versions of some popular applications, designed to use less space and data which can help to save battery life. 10. Turn off Synchronisation Finally, by using automatic google account synchronisation, more battery power is needed. It can be easily disabled in the settings and can be synchronised manually when required. As a mobile phone user, if you save battery power, expect better performance and more time between every charge. In summary, these tips show how to save battery power.

2G and 3G network shutdowns refer to phasing out older generations of mobile network technology in favour of newer and more advanced ones, such as 4G and 5G. As newer mobile technologies have emerged, older technologies such as 2G and 3G have become less efficient and less capable of supporting the demands of modern mobile communication. This has led many countries and mobile network operators to begin the process of shutting down their 2G and 3G networks to make way for newer, more advanced technologies. The shutdown process typically involves a gradual phase-out of 2G and 3G services, with mobile network operators providing a transition period during which users can switch to newer technologies. The timeline and process for shutting down 2G and 3G networks vary by country and operator. Still, the trend is generally towards fully transitioning to 4G and 5G technologies in the coming years. One of the main benefits of shutting down older mobile network technologies is that it frees up valuable spectrum resources that can be used to support newer and more advanced technologies. This can help to improve network performance and provide faster and more reliable mobile communication for users. However, it can also create challenges for users who may still rely on older devices or services incompatible with newer technologies and may require additional investment in new equipment or services to stay connected. The shutdown of 2G and 3G networks can significantly impact consumers who are still using devices that rely on these older technologies. Some of the key impacts include: Compatibility issues: Devices that only support 2G or 3G technologies will no longer be able to connect to the network after the shutdown, leaving consumers with limited or no connectivity. This can be a major issue for people relying on these devices for critical communication or accessing basic services. Upgrading costs: Consumers who want to continue using mobile services must upgrade their devices to ones that support newer technologies like 4G or 5G. This can be costly, especially for people on a limited budget or with older devices that are not compatible with the latest technologies. Reduced network coverage: In some cases, the shutdown of 2G and 3G networks can result in reduced network coverage, as the newer technologies may not reach all of the same areas or provide the same level of coverage. This can be particularly problematic in rural or remote areas with limited connectivity. Limited choice of mobile operators: Consumers who rely on 2G or 3G networks may have limited options for mobile operators, as some operators may choose not to offer services on these older networks or may phase them out earlier than others. Overall, the impact of 2G and 3G network shutdowns on consumers will depend on various factors, including the specific network being shut down, the timing of the shutdown, and the availability of alternative technologies and services. Mobile network operators generally provide advance notice and support for customers during the transition period. Still, it is important for consumers to be aware of the changes and to plan accordingly to ensure they can continue to access mobile services.

The latest Samsung S23 Series comprises the Galaxy S23, S23 Plus and S23 Ultra. ViserMark's first review of this series is the Samsung Galaxy S23, the smallest in battery capacity and display size and less expensive than the other two smartphones. We will test the remaining series and deliver the battery performance results soon. Entering the Flagship/Pro Tier (€700+), the Samsung Galaxy S23 joins several other devices in this high-end category based on similarly priced smartphones. All the other Galaxy S23 series of smartphones also compete in this tier. The Samsung Galaxy S23 is a highly advanced smartphone with a user-friendly interface that makes it very easy to use. It has a sleek, modern design with a large 6.10" Dynamic AMOLED display with a high resolution of 2340 x 1080. The screen has a high refresh rate of 120Hz, providing a smoother visual experience when scrolling through apps and websites. This mobile phone features a glass front and back with a metal frame, which gives a premium look and feel and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, designed to withstand drops and scratches. Having an HDR10+ certification, the display provides a clear and sharp display with an impressive 91.3% screen-to-body ratio, providing an immersive viewing experience. The camera set-up has improved with a fresher design than the Galaxy S22. One new feature is the under-display selfie camera hidden beneath the screen. This allows for a seamless and uninterrupted display without a visible camera cutout. Users can also enjoy a refined Nightography camera to capture high-quality photos and videos easily. This design can also be incorporated into the Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra designs.

It runs UI 3.0, which is based on Android 12 and has benefited from multiple upgrades and improved technology integrations introduced by Realme. As a result, the Realme Narzo 50 has gained a smoother performance. Being much more responsive when moving between apps, it has enhanced animations and always-on-display. A privacy indicator introduced by Google is included, and additional privacy features are included in the new UI 3.0 as well. The 6.6-inch IPS display on the Realme Narzo 50 with an FHD+ resolution, a 180Hz touch sampling rate and a 120Hz refresh rate provides smooth graphics. Perhaps, a particularly good choice for gamers on a tight budget, it offers a Gaming Mode where you can customise the themes and alerts preferences for your games. Also, all distractions like notifications, calls, and messages can be disabled - often a great plus! At the price, there may be a few limitations. The brightness levels appear to be enough for indoor use for providing natural colours and decent contrast, however, reading the screen in direct sunlight is difficult. This is due to the Realme Narzo 50 having an LCD screen, so the viewing angles are limited, and the colour profiles are less saturated than on standard OLED displays. Having a Kevlar Speed Texture Design (a race car-inspired design), the Realme Narzo 50 is available in Speed Blue and Speed Black. The material pattern on the Realme Narzo 50 is strikingly like that of a OnePlus device. On the rear, there's a carbon fibre-like pattern that looks pretty good in the sunlight. The rest of the aesthetic is substantially like previous Narzo phones. The phone has a side-mounted power button, a fingerprint sensor on the right edge, and a volume rocker and SIM card slot on the left. The bottom section includes a 3.5mm headphone socket, a speaker grille, and a charging port. The three-camera configuration in the back, led by a 50-megapixel f/1.8 lens, produces high-quality photographs suitable for printing and sharing on social media. The front side has a selfie camera lens in the top left corner. Being classified as a Mid Tier ​​(€200-€499), smartphone, Realme has introduced this phone into a competitive arena. If you are looking for a smartphone powered by a Helios G96 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, and a 5000mAh battery, for daily use and gaming, then this mobile phone is an option.

We do understand there is a plethora of technical information that often makes it difficult to grasp exactly how this will impact “you” with your day-to-day smartphone usage. For buyers who are looking to purchase a smartphone, the only information available to them is either the battery capacity in milliamp hours or more commonly abbreviated mAh or some endurance score that is based on a very specific usage like standby or talk time. We have also seen over the years that each manufacturer and media have their own way of assessing battery performance considering different criteria and, on some occasions, tests are performed in perfect mobile network conditions which none of us experience. But how long this device will last with real-life usage or how long it will charge? ViserMark was the first label in the world to introduce a clear metric on the Day of Use, meaning how long will this device last tested over the day and night with real-life user activities. We have now further improved the label to give you additional information on how long the device will last in hours for clearer information. Look for the new label in our reviews from January 2023. It is true that mobile phone battery technology has considerably evolved over the years and is continuing to evolve. We still see some manufacturers pursuing to make their mobile phones last longer, simply by increasing the battery life size. The larger battery will use more natural resources and the frequent charging and discharging will further deteriorate the battery. We all now understand that we need to ensure the Smartphone manufacturing industry uses more sustainable methods and is creating products that have minimal impact on the environment. ViserMark was again the first label in the world to create a label that showed the battery energy efficiency of the device. It is calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity. This is expressed in “Leaves" and reflects a rating between 1 being the least and 5 being the most power efficient. This year following the feedback we have received and our own involvement in various projects that looked to create policies on Energy Efficiency we will be introducing a new label in 2023 that will show the Annual Energy Consumption measured in kWh. For the first time, end-users will be able to see an objective benchmark across all devices on the expected annual electricity consumption their device is expected to make. We are very keen to hear your feedback regarding these new changes. Make sure you follow us on Social Media and receive our Newsletters to stay up to date with all our latest insights.

Also, it offers a 90 Hz screen, which other smartphones in its pricing range are unable to offer. Here’s a quick summary of the OPPO A76 for you: Product - Good Points · Looks stylish and more costly than it is · 33W super-fast charging · 90 Hz screenn · Good overall performance· Product - Be Aware of Points · No 5G compatibility · Camera performance could be better Smartphone Battery Performance Score and Battery Results We have designed and developed the ViserMark Battery Performance Labels to help Smartphone users. Our battery test results for the OPPO A76 have been translated into the ViserMark Labels displayed below. Let’s look at the review by ViserMark based on the results during testing. You can find the full results of our battery performance testing below: Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: The Battery Performance Label shows a score between 0 and 100. It reflects the performance based on independent, repeatable, and rigorous testing. Using various testing criteria, measured using real-life scenarios and live networks, results are collated with calculations from Battery Life, Power Efficiency and Charging results that amount to the total score. The OPPO A76 was positioned in the Mid Tier (€200-€499) based on price. With a score of 61 out of 100 obtained for battery performance, it achieved a place in the Top 5 Best Battery Performance Scores for 2021 - 2022. It narrowly missed the Realme 7i and Wiko Power U20, both Entry Tier (€0-€199) smartphones and the Samsung M51 a Mid Tier (€200-€499), all with scores of 62 out of 100. When looking closer at the Mid Tier (€200-€499) the Samsung M51 leads the ranking table with its battery performance score of 62 out of 100. The OPPO A76 follows with 61 out of 100, just ahead of the Realme 8 Pro. Comparison of SmartPhones in the Mid Tier These 3 smartphones hold the top 3 places in the rankings within this tier, the Samsung M51 having a mightly battery capacity of 7000mAh, followed by the OPPO A76 with a more normal battery capacity of 5000mAh and the Realme 8 Pro with a smaller one of 4500mAh. More Battery Performance Scores can be viewed in the Mid Tier Ranking table. Battery Life Battery Life - How long will this Smartphone battery last? This is expressed in “Days-of-Use” and reflects the time in days that a smartphone can be used from a full charge. Looking into the battery performance results in further detail, in the graph below it is clear to see the results for Battery Life ratings. From a fully charged battery, the comparative smartphones provide between 2 days to 2.5 days of battery life when being used for general daily usage. Comparison of SmartPhones in the Mid Tier Again it is not surprising to see the Samsung M51 at the top of this chart, with its huge battery capacity, achieving an impressive 3.5 days of use.
