Phonarena did the battery test of all the flagship smartphones this year. The device getting the title of the best battery phone belongs to Apple iPhone 7 Plus with a 2900mAh battery.

Battery life test 2016: iPhone 7 Plus wins it all

Battery is one of the most important parts of a smartphone. It is also one of the important roles affecting the decisions of users whether to buy a phone or not. That’s why many smartphone brands try to improve this feature in their products. A handset with a huge capacity doesn’t mean it is the best battery phone. A battery life test of Phonearena proved it.

Phonearena made a battery life test of all the flagships this year, 16 devices to be more specific. They adjust the screens of these handsets at the brightness of 200 nits. After that, they let them run on the same browser. They scored based on the screen-on use of those handsets. The phone having the best battery is iPhone 7 Plus with 9 hours and 5 minutes. Once again, Apple proves us that they know how to optimize the performance.

The next two posts are also Apple‘s phones: iPhone 7 and iPhone SE. Standing in the 4th and 5th place is S7 Edge and S7. Google Pixel XL and Pixel take the 6th and 7th spot. Next is LG V20 with 6 hours and 23 minutes. Sony Xperia XZ holds the 14th place with 6 hours and 41 minutes. OnePlus 3 is two- spot higher than LG with 5 hours and 53 minutes.

Battery life test 2016: Apple iPhone stands still

Last year- 2015, Phonearena also did the same battery test with all the 2015 flagships. The result is not different compared the 2016 test. Apple iPhone stands still in the number one position with Apple iPhone 6s Plus. So, once again, a big battery capacity doesn’t mean a good battery smartphone.
