I beg to differ. The battery king in any benchmark/review is Moto G7 Power just because it has 720p display which is similar to iPhone 11's 800p.
Even the good battery on the iPhone 11 can't beat it.
Another thing to consider is the UI and software customization of Android OEMs.
There is a wrong perception that all Android phones are created equal.

Samsung has modified Android via One UI. Huawei also do it with their EMUI.
Nokia/Motorola both have clean Android One interface, where there is no customization whatsoever and only few additional apps here and there.

As for the difference in screen resolution, it is more objective as you compare numbers but people see it subjectively.
Android users are known to pixel peep a lot (because we know the difference among screen resolutions) whereas iPhone users don't really care to the point that some think an iPhone 11 has the same screen resolutions as its Pro counterparts.

Thanks for the clarification. Now that one is iron out, what about signal strength? Will it play a major role in draining the battery? I may not be the only one that have experience several drop call and very weak signal as compared to even a mid ranger phones in my office ( samsung J series and xiaomi ). I read thru and thru that this problem is very apparent.

Motorola have very bad battery life for the x series. i've used three of them n yes, the G series is nonetheless the better performer due to the low screen reso. But that does not mean it can beat the iphone in the same range category like the x2 and x4 which is terrible in battery performance.

But yeah, the ip11 and pro max do not really have any difference in a glance. To think it have the same reso is ignorant. But the difference is definitely there.

It's difficult to answer when it comes to "signal strength" as this is hardware AND software related. Remember that different brands use different hardware/chips to build their phones.
One thing is for sure- when you have weak signal, it draws more battery.

Just think of it like you are downloading something on your phone 24/7 (since some apps require background data processing).
A weak signal will definitely have slower internet so it takes more time to use your mobile data hence, more power is needed to stay your phone "awake".

Anyway, I had the OG X, X2 and X4. The X4 for me has above average battery life if i can remember.
I don't think there is anymore Android phone that is similarly spec'd as the iPhone 11 (flagship SOC with low display resolution).
This is actually Apple's advantage because now, consumers think that iPhones have the best battery life due to the iPhone 11.

Well, thats too bad isnt it for a flagship? N for that my note 10 plus is for sale. Hahaha.

For iphone 11, the performance is real. Its not just customer perception d. This is how a mid flagship should be. Very good batt life and spectacular camera. Im not bashing my note 10 plus other than the batt n the poor antenna performance. If anything, the note 10 plus is the better phone all around. But just because of the two flaw. Ok la. The 1 flaw of weak signal strength. Lol.

Somehow signal bar doesn't mean anything.. the actual reading rate would depend on signal strength.. as comparison I have took xiaomi 9 vs my Sony phone..

Both are in same mobile network, mobile plan and same location.. signal strength almost similar..
Somehow Xiaomi showing 4/5 bars while Sony showing 0/4 bar..

However, in screenshot it is showing little better signal strength in Sony log.. does it mean 80% good coverage in xiaomi and worst reception in Sony.. both did run speed test and show average 6mbps download and 10mbps upload speed.

this is very interesting.

i hate to say this but, all the phones i bought have problems with the signal. could it be a permanent thing with the telco? i am with Digi btw for 3 years now. Previously was Digi too but prepaid. Then before that all the way Maxis. Literally all the phone that got into my hand have problem in signal.

What does this means?

it could be the signal at your area is seriously sucks...  laugh.gif  sweat.gif

no. i have move around several areas ( working and home over 10 years period ) and i studied at malacca MMU. Malacca in 2004 is quite ok with maxis. i think at the time maxis is the prime and also celcom.

my other area includes the prime area such as dutamas, hartamas, one utama, ttdi and such.

working area yes, port klang is known for weak signal strength. i am not sure for the rest, but digi u can say alwasy 50% only. max 60% coverage from my mobile phone. i have used the following phone at port klang area -

nova 2i
Iphone 6
Iphone 4
Asus Zenfone Go
Asus Zenfone Max Pro 5000mh
Motorola G4,G5,X1 and X2.

The above are combined digi prepaid and postpaid.

Now, i thought this will go away when using Note 10 plus. lol.

Telco issue.. Last year i changed to Maxis cause went to KL for few months.. Now im back to penang and find out my surrounding colleagues those using maxis/hotlink having inconsistent signal for Maxis.. Straight and changed back to my previous Telco, Celcom.. Now im good for Celcom line.. Celcom using Band 7 while Maxis band 3.. but midnight Maxis will connected to Band 7.

Band 7 which is stable and even though low bar/weak signal.. Celcom download and upload can maintain above 10mbps.. midnight celcom and maxis can get up to 141mbps download and 48 mbps upload..

So back to question, i would say mobile telco network did play an important role.. e.g. Celcom good for me doesnt mean good for everyone.. maybe you may try a prepaid sim for different telco and try out.. At least now im happy with Celcom network currently..
*
okay i asked around this port klang area best with Digi. hahaha. too bad. maxis and celcom not so much.

i have to set based on my working area. Currently using the speedtest my download is a weak 9.92mbps and upload is 4.00mbps. this is on infinite 100 digi plan.

i will try my housing area for signal strength later tonight to see if there are any major diff.

Is it just my OCD or the new Galaxy S20 devices look ugly because they are not symmetrical. The back curves a lot more than the front.
When you view it from the side, the curvature on the top and bottom look aren't symmetrical either.

Just comparing it to how symmetrical in the S10 series (even Note 10) and all iPhones in general.

Believe it or not, the answer is yes. I have been using few generations of S and note series (Exynos), I also using OnePlus series (snapdragon) at the same time. And I can notice the  difference. Speed is one thing, another one is the smoothness! Snapdragon is much snappier than exynos.  You could say the speed difference is not that significant, but one thing is sure significant. The signal reception. Snapdragon is much better than exynos in term of signal reception. No need to argue. Just search through this thread and you will know how many note 10 users in here are suffered due to unstable signal reception recently.

And one more thing, do you guys wonder why note 10 lite is cheaper than S10 lite? Note 10 lite got the mighty S pen, which supposed to be superior compared to the S line, so why it's cheaper? The answer is simple. Because S10 lite is using much better chip. Samsung knows it, everyone know it. Even their mother land Korea already decided to use S20 snapdragon version. Tell me. Which manufacturer would ditch their own house chip and use other chip instead in their Homeland? So stop wondering anymore. Samsung snapdragon is indeed better than Samsung Exynos.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying exynos is shit. As I said earlier, I myself have been using exynos phones all these years. I have no major issues with it. But at the same time, I also cannot deny the fact that there's a better version out there and we can only get it via import.

what about your reception? all good with exynos?

Bearable. Sometimes outdoor 4G is not stable. Either no signal or auto switched to 3G. Some times it does frustrate me. Other than that, no major issue. My first flagship was Samsung phone, and been using their series until now. So I already get used to this situation. But after I tried other snapdragon phones, even the mid range phone, the signal is much better and stable compared to my beloved Samsung phone. I actually did compare side by side, same location, same Telco. Yes. No matter it's flagship or low end phone, snapdragon is always better than exynos , in term of singal reception stability. This is also the major reason why snapdragon battery life is better then exynos. Stronger reception, larger battery saving, and longer stand by.

Most people may say they won't care. It's because we have no choice. If we want the local warranty, we can only stick to SME set which is exynos. If snapdragon local set is available, same price same warranty, who would still prefer exynos version? Of course everyone will jump to the better side.

Now I can only hope that Samsung will release snapdragon version S20 series in Malaysia (rumor). If not, then S10 lite is the only option if you prefer Samsung phone that came with better chip.

As expected.

im gonna rest my case when the new iphone 9 (SE2 ) comes out. Gonna let go this 10 plus. i had it laugh.gif

Well, you’re a far more patient person than me... I had it after just 3 weeks of ownership, bro. To see my midrange Redmi Note 7 run circles around my Note 10+ in terms of reception and signal strength was painfully embarrassing laugh.gif
Even with the Note 10 or 10+, I think most people would set the resolution to 1080p. In theory the processor of the Note 10+ should be more efficient, so it remains to be seen which has the better battery life, but I’m guessing it’ll be marginal whichever way it goes.
*
hahaha the only reason i still stick around due to the 2nd hand value it offers. i think many people now letting go at 3k to 3.4k for 512gb aura glow. hence, maybe, pray hard, at the time the iphone se2 will cost about the same range. but my wife's ip11 did racun me for this move. so let's see how it goes.. n yeah. midranger sometimes topple flagship. as such with my nova 2i before reception and all very good. i never encounter so much of dropcall like this note 10 plus.

i think u will see improvement when u have long standby time
most ppl feel that the standby time for note is not good

16% to run 81 minutes of SOT is not that bad to be honest.
*
ic. okay lemme try tonight to put 100% before sleep and see how many % down when i woke up at 6am. so that's 8 hours of standby.

if the issue is the reception network problem at certain area, then nothing can resolve my issue as my area of travelling to work from home have plenty of dead zone. doh.gif
