To give you a faint idea of how meaningless battery benchmarks are vis-à-vis real life usage, here are results from Phone Arena - http://www.phonearena.com/news/All-bow-to-the-new-endurance-kings-Sony-Xperia-Z3-and-Z3-Compact-score-a-record-battery-life_id60922 http://www.phonearena.com/news/All-bow-to-the-new-endurance-... - 9+ hrs for Xperia Z3 and 6+ for iPhone 6+ which is lesser than the S5.
"We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage"
In other words I would be very surprised if any of these benchmarks translate to anything close to the numbers they proclaim.
- saturdaysaint 12y agoShowing two different benchmarks doesn't actually prove that battery benchmarks are meaningless.
- blinkingled 12y agoWell they are both web browsing battery life benchmarks. If loading different web pages shows 5+ hours of discrepancy then yes from a user standpoint they are precisely meaningless.
- meepmorp 12y agoNo, it might mean that one of the benchmarks is meaningful and the other is not. Or it might be that they test different scenarios and could be useful to different groups of users. What the discrepancy tells you is that there's something odd about the benchmarks that could stand to be better investigated/explained.
- blinkingled 12y ago> there's something odd about the benchmarks You say odd, I say meaningless :)
- meepmorp 12y agoOk, but they're not the same thing. Odd might just mean a different set of underlying assumptions that cause the numbers to misalign, or perhaps a bug.
