gsmarena's battery life test

result: DISSAPOINTING

user posted image

QUOTE

So far, smartphones with HD displays have really struggled to get good grades in our test – the LG Nitro HD is the worst performer so far and the HTC Rezound is just above it in the leaderboard. The Samsung Galaxy Note did manage to put in a pretty good performance despite its HD screen, but that one had a huge 2500 mAh battery.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus on the other hand has a slightly smaller, 4.65″, Super AMOLED, but notably less powerful 1750 mAh battery. That’s certainly one of the worst screen-size-to-capacity ratios we have seen, so we started the test knowing that anything but last place will be a success for the Nexus.
Telephony is how it all started and that was the Samsung Galaxy Nexus one chance to get a decent score. With the screen turned off for the duration of the calls, the Nexus had the chance to make its larger-than-usual battery count and that’s exactly what it did.
A fully charged Galaxy Nexus took 8 hours and 23 minutes of 3G talking to switch off. That’s exactly what the manufacturer promises and it was enough to secure the ICS pioneer a good mid-table position.

The second test was web browsing and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus was in for a rough ride. For comparison’s sake, despite its huge battery, the Galaxy Note phoneblet only managed 3:35 minutes of browsing, using a screen of the same technology.
The predominantly white webpages are really taxing on AMOLEDs and the Galaxy Nexus paid the price here. It only endured a minute over 3 hours of our automated script before it switched off and placed last of all tested smartphones. And it was some way of the pace, as you can see from the table.

The video playback test concluded the round of individual tests and the good news is that the Galaxy Nexus did fairly well in it. It wasn’t great, but after the web browsing fiasco, the 6 hours and 2 minutes seemed like good news.

Needless to say that after such results, we were having no illusions about the Galaxy Nexus real life endurance. The smartphone’s standby wasn’t particularly efficient either and it got a total endurance rating of 31h. This suggests that you’ll need to charge the Samsung Galaxy Nexus every 31 hours if you use it for an hour of 3G telephony, SD video playback and web browsing each day.

That’s tied second worst score we have seen so far, but as we told you, it wasn’t completely unexpected. On a positive note, the Galaxy Nexus matches the HTC Rezound and outdoes the LG Nitro HD and they have screens smaller by 17% and 7%, respectively.

Hope samseng can finally understand that...no matter how big the screen is or how saturated they make the screen, users will be hugely disappointed if they need to charge it very often.

Hope they will realize this and conduct more usability tests that is practical.

I think the battery life issue is blown out of proportion. If it is within 16 hours of heavy usage, it's pretty damn good enough for me. How often does a person stay awake more than 16 hours anyway? Unless that fella doesn't need to sleep.

I will concede if anyone can find me a smartphone that lasts more than 48 hours of heavy usage.

unfortunately, smartphone batteries have not kept same with smartphone evolvement.
bcos smartphone can do so much more, and ppl start to use more and more everyday.
but battery capacity still limited.

Similan hopes there will be breakthough in 2012.

Who cares if they have to charge their Gnex often? It's an experience only a Gnex owner can experience themselves not some troll who doesn't own the phone and has to rely on gsmarena's review to make a point in this thread.

P.S : Nak bergaya tapi tak ada duit so baik duduk tengok saja laa. Pakai je Bold 9900 lu tuh

Similan only wishes to make good use of the money. that's why so much research is done and opinions discussed.

Awesome idea, maybe Similan can arrange a meeting with Fifi_Bas for a face-to-face on-hand experience with GNEX. Who knows, he might let go his GNote to you.

If you're willing to try custom rom, lots of custom rom had the auto brightness fixed

That's de trouble wt android phones generally. U need to dedicate significant amt of effort and time to learn techie stuff like rom flashing just to fix all these basic problems.
If u r a student or somebody with plenty of time on ur hands, den flashing roms may not be an issue.

Let's pray that google and the manufacturers will take note and do better next time.

Let's not encourage piracy. Is quite true that android is the preferred platform for pirated stuff.
