When looking at the Google Pixel range, it is clear that the battery capacity has been considerably reduced. The Google Pixel 6 was released in Oct 2021 with 4600 mAh. With the introduction of the Google Pixel 7 one year later, the battery capacity is only 4355 mAh. Even with less battery capacity, the Google Pixel 7 can still deliver 1.5 days of use and can match smartphones within the Flagship/Pro Tier with greater battery capacity, such as the Sony XQ BQ52 with 4500mAh. However, it must be noted that the Samsung S22 also delivers 1.5 days of usage despite having an even smaller battery capacity of 3700mAh - which is quite remarkable as Flagship/Pro smartphones are expected to be feature-rich. Google does state that Pixel’s Adaptive Battery can last over 24 hours – and up to 72 hours when you turn on Extreme Battery Saver. However, this feature disables various features, including 5G connectivity. Our battery performance protocol ensures that we measure and evaluate key areas of user experience, with all default testing performed under strictly controlled conditions without Battery Saver features enabled.

With the reduction in the Samsung Galaxy S22 battery capacity, Samsung is looking to make this device more power-efficient than the Samsung Galaxy S21. This could reduce the carbon footprint by 5% without any impact on battery performance. The results from our recent testing of Power Efficiency showed a rating of 1 out of 5. We again referred to our previous Samsung Galaxy S21 battery testing results as part of our comparative testing. The Power Efficiency Score obtained was 1.5 out of 5, and the results for the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 were disappointing, as further efficiencies of energy usage have been missed. The Samsung S22 offers extra protection against drops with its Gorilla Glass Victus Plus back, which was previously plastic and is now considered 12.5% stronger than Gorilla Victus Glass. Also, this device has gained the IP68 rating for incidents involving dust and water, an added bonus for some. Being even smaller than the iPhone 13 Mini, Samsung says the Samsung S22 series is much more eco-conscious – it has even reduced the size of the shipping boxes and removed all plastic. Even certain parts of the device can be replaced by using recycled fishing nets. More Power Efficiency Scores can be viewed in the Power Efficiency table. Should I buy it? The Samsung Galaxy S22 remains highly competitive within the Flagship/Pro Tier, with the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max at €1639 and the Google Pixel 6.

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. In the Flagship Tier (€700+). The Google Pixel 7 Pro achieved 32 out of 100 for battery performance; therefore, it is positioned in the bottom half of the table for battery performance scores compared with previous 2022 scores. The Google Pixel 7 Pro compares very well with another Google Pixel 7 mobile phone. The Google Pixel 7 was recently tested by ViserMark and obtained just 2 points more with 34 out of 100. Although only gaining a slight margin on battery performance scores, the Google Pixel 7 is suited to people looking for better value and a slightly smaller smartphone to hold. The Samsung S22 is also in the Flagship Tier (€700+) and has a higher battery performance score than both Google mobile phones, with 36 out of 100. When comparing this smartphone with the Google Pixel 7 Pro, Samsung launched the Galaxy S22 series almost a year ago in February 2022. With the pending release of the Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphone range, we look forward to delivering the battery performance reviews very shortly. So, how will the Google Pixel 7 Pro compare with the Samsung S23? The Apple brand remains in the top places with 72 and 53 out of 100, respectively, for the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple iPhone 13 Pro, which both have impressive overall battery performances in the Flagship Tier (€700+). Viewed in the Flagship Tier Ranking table are more Battery Performance Scores. Battery Life Battery Life - How long will this Smartphone battery last? Look at our updated Battery Life ViserMark Label. This label displays the “Days-of-Use” in both actual days and provides even more accurate information in hours. It reflects the usage of a smartphone from a full charge. When looking at the Flagship/Pro Tier, most devices can last for 1.5 days of usage, with the exceptions being the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max with 3.5 days of battery life and the Apple iPhone 13 Pro with one day less, with 2.5 days of battery life. The Google Pixel 7 has a lower battery capacity of 4355mAh than the Google Pixel 7 Pro, which has the typical 5000mAh. During our testing, ViserMark expected the Google Pixel 7 Pro to deliver better battery performance. Both devices achieved 1.5 days of usage, lower than other Flagship/Pro Tier smartphones we have tested. Even though the Samsung S22 also delivers 1.5 days of usage, it has an even smaller battery capacity of only 3700mAh - remarkable! Google does state that Pixel’s Adaptive Battery can last over 24 hours – and up to 72 hours when you turn on Extreme Battery Saver. However, this feature disables various features, including 5G connectivity. Our battery performance protocol ensures that we measure and evaluate key areas of user experience, with all default testing performed under strictly controlled conditions without Battery Saver features enabled. View the Days of Usage table and see what other smartphones made it into the Top Ten. Charging Times Battery Charging Time - How long will this smartphone take to charge? Time varies when charging different types and sizes of smartphone batteries. Expressed in Hours and Minutes. Unfortunately, the Google Pixel 7 Pro has a slow charging time of 3 hours and 22 minutes, which exceeds that of the Google Pixel 7, which is 2 hours and 51 minutes, and the Samsung S22 takes 2 hours and 36 minutes. The Google Pixel 7 and the Google Pixel 7 Pro support 30W fast wired charging, but the maximum speed of wireless charging can vary.

Viewed in the Power Efficiency table are more Power Efficiency Scores. Annual Energy Consumption Power Consumption - How much energy does this smartphone use? All smartphones use energy, and although it is only a small amount, each smartphone varies in consumption. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is calculated to use 4.4 kWh per annum, taken from the ViserMark Battery Performance testing. For the first time, end-users will see an objective benchmark across all devices on their expected annual electricity consumption. Should I buy it? The Google Pixel 7 Pro is a Flagship/Pro smartphone with feature-rich functionality, an excellent camera and high-end reliability and performance. Even though it carries a high price tag of $899, it remains a true competitor in the Flagship smartphone market. It has improved photography features and uses Google Pixel software, offering secure and reliable performance. Even though it lacks connectivity and battery life performance, loyal Andriod users will still purchase the Google Pixel 7 Pro.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro - A Good Smartphone with a Wonderful Design, Screen, and Speakers. SMARTPHONE TIER: MID Battery Capacity mAh: 5000 Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: 50/100 Overall Battery Performance Score: Ranking #47 Mid Tier Ranking: Ranking #6 We have listed what you need to know about the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro. Overview As a follow-up to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro released in 2021, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro offers 5G over its predecessor with a few other minor tweaks. The smartphone is similar in size but slightly heavier, with a sleek design. Using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, it is a more robust mobile phone yet more restricted in its capabilities; one such example is that it can only support display resolutions up to 1080p. However, it has a tremendous 120Hz display that is finished with a glass back frosted surface, which, while it does a great job of resisting fingerprints, is nonetheless marked after a few minutes of use by the natural grease from our palms. Numerous popular features are included in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro, including stereo speakers, a microSD expansion slot, FM radio, a 3.5mm audio connector, NFC, an IR blaster, and an overview of solid battery performance. Like the other Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 devices, it runs Android 11 and the most recent MIUI 13 version, which has significant internal upgrades that provide a better and quicker experience both now and over the course of the next few years, thanks to numerous improvements. According to reports, the new update prioritizes significantly better resource allocation and should handle processor, RAM, and storage utilization better and more intelligently. The goal of MIUI 13 is to monitor how much RAM and processor are being used at any one time and suspend any superfluous processes to free up resources and improve performance.

The Apple iPhone 14 Plus offers everything the iPhone 14 does, although it does benefit from a larger 6.7-inch display and a bigger battery capacity. It is neatly positioned in the middle of the iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Pro, although it doesn't have the higher price tag of the iPhone 14 Pro, making it a little more desirable. Following in the footsteps of the iPhone 13 series, the iPhone 14 Plus has hardly changed in design. It retains its glossy appearance and has an aluminium frame with flattened sides. Also, it is much lighter than the iPhone 14 Pro and comfortable to hold. The iPhone 14 Plus is available in Blue, Purple, Yellow, Midnight, Starlight, and (Product) Red and is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. As mentioned, the iPhone 14 Plus has a larger display and excellent battery life; this could be a good reason to select this device over the smaller iPhone 14. However, there is a drawback: it only has a 60Hz refresh rate compared to the iPhone 14 Pro and other competitors' offerings. Using ProMotion technology, the iPhone 14 Pro Max takes advantage of its 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring users gain a more responsive experience with smooth scrolling, especially when gaming. The iPhone 14 Plus joins the Flagship/Pro (€700 +), although less expensive than the iPhone 14 Pro that can also be found in this tier. What's it like to Use? The iPhone 14 Plus has its new 6.7-inch Retina XDR OLED screen with an HDR display of 2778 x 1284 pixels. Also applied is the Apple Ceramic Shield o n the glass for shattering proofing, and an oleophobic coating does help with the fingerprints and smudges Powered by an A15 Bionic chipset, the iPhone 14 Plus uses five GPU cores, helping to deliver a smoother user experience. Also, Apple has chosen to incorporate new software features in the iPhone 14 Plus, such as Photonic Engine and Action mode, which are only currently available in the iPhone 14 series. The Photonic Engine can capture more detailed images and render brighter colours, and the Action mode allows for smooth handheld videos. Like the iPhone 14, the iPhone 14 Plus has 3 cameras. The main camera has been upgraded with a larger sensor, with more upgrades for the selfie camera. Autofocus has been introduced, allowing for much closer selfies and impressive photo quality. This is not all, as there is the phase detection autofocus. This latest feature, used by Apple, is considered the best autofocus technology to complement standard contrast detection and is used by other leading smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung and Sony. The iPhone 14 series comes with 6GB of RAM, a step up from the 4GB in the iPhone 13 series. The iPhone 14 Plus comes with 3 storage options being 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. It is worth noting that storage options can not be changed or expanded after purchase. After prolonged usage, the iPhone can get slightly hot. To help overcome this issue, the iPhone 14 Plus does have built-in protections to prevent overheating. This involves the device protecting its internal components by attempting to regulate its temperature. How does it perform? Like all new iPhones, the iPhone 14 Plus is run on Apple iOS 16, and its interface has widgets and apps located on the home screen, with an App Library and Notification and Control Centers. Also, Face ID or PIN allows you to bypass the lockscreen. The iPhone 14 Plus iOS 16 has many improvements to enhance better performance. One such refinement is that notifications now appear from the bottom of the screen. Also, the Visual Lookup feature now uses advanced machine learning. Within photos or videos, items like pets, plants, and landmarks can be identified, and further information is provided. One attribute supported by all smartphones in the new iPhone 14 series is the Emergency SOS feature. Using satellite technology, essential information can be texted to emergency services outside cellular and Wi-Fi coverage. This feature is integrated into Apple's Crash Detection, designed to detect severe car crashes - such as front-impact, side-impact, and rear-end collisions and rollovers. So when the iPhone 14 Plus detects a severe crash, it will sound an alarm, display an alert, and automatically connect to emergency services providing the device location as latitude and longitude coordinates. You should know you can turn off alerts and automatic emergency calls after a severe car crash. What else is in the box? Apple has maintained its minimal packaging design, so not much has changed from the previous iPhone 13 series. In the eco-friendly box are a USB-C to Lightning cable, documentation, a SIM ejector (if you have a non-US model), and an Apple sticker. A power adapter is not in the box; use an existing charger with the USB-C connector. A Quick Summary The new iPhone 14 Plus still has the same design, display, chipset, and battery as its predecessor, the iPhone 13 Plus. However, some noteworthy enhancements include upgraded main and selfie cameras, Emergency SOS satellite connectivity, improved graphics and battery performance.

Apple iPhone 14 Plus Smartphone Battery Life Ratings Looking at the three comparative smartphones, there is more differentiation than expected. Apple has dominated the Flagship/Pro Tier and continues to do so with the iPhone 14 Plus. 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 and unique capabilities. Comparison of Smartphones in the Flagship/Pro Tier As used in the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, the 5000 mAh battery capacity is popular among smartphone manufacturers. 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. One of the most power-hungry components of a smartphone is the display. The iPhone 14 Plus and the Xiaomi 13 Pro have 6.7-inch displays, larger than their predecessors. However, more recently, smaller batteries have been used. For example, the Xiaomi 13 Pro is powered by a 4820 mAh battery and even smaller, with 4323 mAh, is the iPhone 14 Plus. ViserMark under battery performance is essential to smartphone users. We also appreciate that manufacturers consider this area important to ensure a great user experience. The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus are powered by the Apple A15 Bionic chip, meaning both have an extra GPU core. This helps to improve cooling within the device and ensures increased performance. Please note that 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. Also, more manufacturers offer regular software and security updates so that smartphones can benefit from further optimisations to enhance battery performance. The iPhone 14 Plus, like other devices in the 14 series, are supported for at least six years’ worth of iOS updates.

Apple iPhone 14 Plus Smartphone Battery Efficiency Results How power efficient is the iPhone 14 Plus? The iPhone 14 Plus was awarded 2 out of 5 as a smartphone battery efficiency score. When tested for battery efficiency, this exceeds the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and the Xiaomi 13 Pro, which obtained a rating of 1 out of 5. Comparison of Smartphones in the Flagship/Pro Tier All the latest smartphone chipsets deliver high performance while consuming minimal power to optimise system resources for improved efficiency. The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and Xiaomi 13 Pro use a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. Apple has opted for the A15 Bionic for the iPhone 14 Plus. While the exterior looks identical to other smartphones in the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 14 Plus's internal workings have been significantly redesigned by moving the internal components by 180 degrees. As a result, the device can be opened from the back and the front. This makes repairing the display and the back glass panel extremely easy. The Power Efficiency of more smartphones can be viewed. Annual Energy Consumption ViserMark is pleased to offer a new label providing a smartphone's Annual Energy Consumption. The calculation is typically based on several factors, including the smartphone model, battery capacity, usage patterns, and charging habits. Although challenging, specific testing criteria are measured using real-life scenarios and live networks to reflect usage accurately. How much energy does the iPhone 14 Plus use? The ViserMark calculations show the iPhone 14 Plus would use 2.5 kWh per Annum. When tested, the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra used 3.4 kWh, and the Xiaomi 13 Pro was the same. Apple iPhone 14 Plus Annual Energy Consumption Results A smartphone's battery capacity plays a significant role in determining energy consumption. Devices with larger batteries of 5000 mAh, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, tend to consume more energy than the iPhone 14 Plus and Xiaomi 13 Pro, which both have smaller batteries because it stores more energy. Comparison of Smartphones in the Flagship/Pro Tier Daily activities greatly influence energy consumption. For instance, frequent use of power-intensive apps, heavy gaming, or prolonged video streaming can drain the battery faster, resulting in higher energy consumption. Conversely, conservative usage and enabling power-saving features can reduce energy consumption. Through ViserMark's battery performance testing protocol, end-users can see an objective benchmark across all devices on their smartphone's expected annual electricity consumption. Should I buy it? The iPhone 14 Plus is one of the lightest 6.7-inch phones now available, and it easily matches the functionality and capability of other flagship smartphones, perhaps one of the best iPhones that Apple has manufactured. The new design and features of the iPhone 14 Plus, including upgraded cameras, offer as much performance as the iPhone 14 Pro version. Its larger display is an added bonus. Its larger battery capacity helps to extend the impressive battery performance, and its price tag is also an attractive reason to consider this smartphone over others in the iPhone 14 series and other alternative devices. From a repairability perspective, the effort in rearranging components allows for the display and glass back panel to be mended if broken. However, the new design of the iPhone 14 Plus hasn't been incorporated into the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, which may be the standard adopted for the iPhone 15 series of smartphones. The only drawback could be the lack of a higher refresh rate. With 60Hz, the iPhone 14 Plus could be improved, although, with an all-around performance, users of this smartphone may not even notice.
