A few days ago, Samsung held a press conference in New York to release their latest generation of flagship: Galaxy Note 5.

As previously announced, the Galaxy Note 5 comes with 5.7 inch 2K display and a beautiful Samsung 16MP rear camera. The device is powered by strong 4GB RAM and a powerful Samsung’s Exynos 7420 chipset that runs on quad-core 2.1GHz processor. The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 runs on Android 5.1 system and 3,000 mAH battery capacity.

Also released at the same time with the Galaxy Note 5 is the Galaxy S6 Edge+ with a curved screen and updated specs from the previous Galaxy S6 Edge

Coming with 5.7 but “only” equipped with 3,000 mAH battery, many doubt that this is not enough to power the Galaxy Note 5. Actually, despite reputation about high-quality camera sensors, Samsung products usually receive so-so feed backs about battery life.

But wait. Take a look at this Galaxy Note 5 battery test result before judging the 3,000 mAH of upcoming Galaxy Note 5 battery

In the figure, you can see 11 devices being shown with real life test results on how long each can last.  Topping the list is Motorola Droid Turbo with last 10h and 42 mins, followed by Sony Xperia Z3 with 9 hours and 29 mins of battery life. Surprisingly, contrast to what many think, Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 battery life are as long as 9 hours 29 minutes and 9 hour 11 minutes respectively. Both Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 battery life are ranked excellent. To give you a better sense of comparison, the LG G4, while also packs 3,000 mAH, ranked last on the list with only 6 hours and 6 minutes of battery life.

Now let’s move to the second criterion of Galaxy Note 5 battery: charging time. Battery charging time is also one an important element users care about when using a device, as it can make life much more or less convenient.

From the second figure, we can see that Asus Zenfone 2 is leading with only 58 minutes to fully charge the battery. Ranked as second best, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 battery only needs 81 minutes to go up to 100% full. This is even less than 1 hour and a half, and is quite idea for any busy users.

After a while being at the center of attention, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 has currently received negative comments about when announced the lack of microSD card slot. And when this result about Galaxy Note 5 battery life and charging is unveiled, we hope that it can somehow make up for the previous disappointment.

Like most devices, Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and S6 Edge+ have their own pros and cons, which make them different from others and contribute to the reasons why users choose this device instead of others.
