The biggest battery improvement compared with the iPhone 5S could be seen with the iPhone 6 Plus, which managed to get 10 hours on AT&T. The regular size iPhone 6 didn’t do just as good, with only 7 hours and 27 minutes original ZTE V956 passed before it gave out. This placed the iPhone 6 behind HTC One M8 tested on both AT&T and Verzion. The HTC handset scored 9 hours and 52 minutes on Verizon, while the AT&T test ended after 8 hours and 42 minutes.
LG’s G3 managed to score 6 hours and 10 minutes on Verizon while it displayed an improved battery life by 1 hours and 2 minutes when tested on AT&T.
The iPhone 6 Plus still the leader so far, with tougher competition coming from the Galaxy S5 on AT&T and Galaxy Note 3 on Verizon, which managed to resist for 9 hours, 42 minutes and 9 hours,57 minutes respectively. The Verizon test on the S5 ended after 8 hours and 25 minutes.
The device that managed to surpass all other is the probably unexpected OnePlus One which not only reached the 10 hour marked imposed by the iPhone 6 Plus, but also went further on until setting the bar at 13 hours and 16 minutes.
Whether you are going for a new iPhone or not, now you know where it stands in terms of battery, and how it compares against some of the top devices available.
We know that the new iPhone models, namely the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus can definitely sell, as the stocks are depleting fast, even despite the recent scandal regarding the devices bending under bare hand pressure. The handsets also experienced some software issues, as the iOS8 platform displayed some troubles. However, many are curious how the devices do in terms of battery life. One of the most expected features of the new iPhone was an increased battery life, as the complaints on the matter seemed to have finally been answered with the newest additions to the iPhone family. It’s not that great to have a premium device if it can’t stay on long enough for you to enjoy it. That being said, we are going to compare the iPhone 6’s battery to some other smartphones’ power supplies’, such as the LG G3, One M8 and OnePlus One.
The above mentioned devices were used against the new iPhone models in testing to see where they stand on umi zero battery life. They were tested exclusively on Verizon and AT&T. They were all set to 150 brightness and had their connectivity options ( Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS) turned off.
