Galaxy S23 Ultra compares battery with iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus, which smartphone has the longest usage time?

As Samsung’s most powerful flagship smartphone today, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh – on par with the previous generation flagship, the Galaxy S22 Ultra. However, the S23 Ultra has a big advantage thanks to the new screen, accompanied by its own custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which is significantly more battery efficient than the original chip.

Meanwhile, iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max are both equipped with a battery with a capacity of 4,323mAh, less than the S23 Ultra. Of course, Apple’s smartphone models in recent generations still own generations of A-series chips with very good performance and power-saving capabilities, providing very good battery life (although the battery capacity is very low). not really high).

It is known that before performing the test, the screen brightness of the S23 Ultra was set at 50%, while the Adaptive bighness and Extra Brighness features. has been turned off.

The screen resolution is set to WQHD+ (3088 x 1440). With iPhone 14 Plus and iPhone 14 Pro Max, the screen brightness is also set to 50%, and Auto-Brightness is turned off.

The screen refresh rate of the iPhone 14 Plus is set at 60 Hz, while the S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max are set to the Adaptive Refresh Rate mode (adaptive refresh rate, maximum fluctuations to 120 Hz). Of course, the batteries of all 3 smartphone models were fully charged to 100% before testing.

iPhone 14 Plus is dominant initially

In the first test, Youtuber SimplyPops turned on familiar applications such as Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter within 1 hour for testing.

The results at this first 1-hour milestone show that the battery of the S23 Ultra is reduced to 95%, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 96%. Quite surprisingly, iPhone 14 Plus still has 100% battery life after 1 hour of continuously watching videos on Youtube / Tiktok and surfing social networks such as Twitter, Instagram, initially dominating compared to the two more powerful smartphone models.

Even when listening to music on Youtube Music with external speakers, or when playing simple games like Subway Surffer for 27 minutes, all 3 smartphone models still show how ‘buffalo’ their batteries are, when they are kept on. threshold of 90%, reaching 95% (iPhone 14 Plus), 91% (iPhone 14 Pro Max) and 90% (S23 Ultra), respectively. This is the time when both smartphones have started to hit the threshold of more than 2 hours of screen brightness, and both Apple smartphones have a slight advantage over the S23 Ultra.

Up to the 3 hours and 12 minutes of screen time, the race for battery capacity still recorded the first place of iPhone 14 Plus when it remained at 89%, while the batteries of S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max were still at struggling position, reaching 84% and 83% respectively.

Results gradually reversed, S23 Ultra breakthrough

It can be seen that the above light tasks have not really made it difficult for the battery to be equipped on the current leading flagship models of Android and iOS when the remaining battery life is still very much, while the difference The difference in battery capacity between smartphone models is not too large

Only when it comes to heavy tasks such as recording 4K 60 FPS videos with the front camera for 30 minutes, the battery capacity of the 3 smartphones begins to show signs of significant decline, with iPhone 14 Plus remaining 75%, S23 Ultra (74%) and iPhone 14 Plus. 14 Pro Max is 71% left – at 3 hours and 44 minutes from the start of the test.

Thus, this ‘race’ began to show signs of reversal, when the battery of the iPhone 14 Plus could no longer maintain the ‘buffalo’ level, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max began to show signs of deficiency. slightly compared to Samsung’s flagship smartphone.

At the 5-hour mark of continuous screen brightness, S23 Ultra continues to hold the 2nd position (64% remaining battery), while the first position belongs to the 14 Plus (67%) and the last position belongs to the iPhone. 14 Pro Max (62%). However, Apple’s flagship smartphone quickly fell behind a lot in the test of recording video with the rear camera at 4K 60 FPS in 28 minutes.

After performing this test, the remaining battery capacity of the S23 Ultra had a breakthrough when it was on par with the iPhone 14 Plus (both 56%), while the iPhone 14 Pro Max was only 49% – after a total of 5 hours 33 minutes of screen time since the start of the autopsy.

At 6 hours and 31 minutes, after running entertainment applications again, iPhone 14 Pro Max only had 42% battery left, while S23 Ultra and 14 Plus continued to compare at 50% battery threshold.

The longer the S23 Ultra is used, the more “buffalo” the battery is?

Even so, the results in the battery life contest once again happened at the 7 hours and 17 minutes of screen time. After performing the test of 4K 60 FPS video recording with the front camera again for 22 minutes, the battery capacity of the S23 Ultra rose to the first place (40% battery), while the remaining capacity of the 14 Plus and 14 Pro Max reached 39% and 31% respectively.

Up to the 9 hours and 4 minutes of continuous screen brightness, the S23 Ultra continued to show the upper hand with 21% of the remaining battery capacity, while the iPhone 14 Plus proved to be out of breath, only 16%. With the iPhone 14 Pro Max alone, Apple’s most powerful iPhone model has reached the 5% battery capacity threshold, which is more than enough to show a low battery notification.

Before closing the battery performance test of S23 Ultra, iPhone 14 Plus / ProMax, Youtuber SimplyPops turned on the racing game Asphalt 9, which has heavy graphics and consumes battery, to play within 5 minutes. As a result, the 14 Plus has 12% battery left, and the S23 Ultra has 16% battery, while the iPhone 14 Pro Max only has 1% battery left – before completely ‘collapsed’ at 9 hours 42 minutes of continuous screen light.

After completing the final comparisons, the 14 Plus also ran out of battery at 10 hours 27 minutes, inferior to the S23 Ultra at 10 hours and 50 minutes – becoming the longest-lasting smartphone in the test including viewing. videos, surf social networks, play games and record videos continuously.

This is clearly an impressive result for the S23 Ultra, which has a screen with a high resolution and refresh rate – the leading factors in draining the battery. At the beginning of the test, the S23 Ultra was continuously surpassed by Apple’s smartphone duo. However, the final results show that the new S23 Ultra is really a smartphone with durability in terms of battery life, when it has a longer usage time of up to 1 hour and 8 minutes than the iPhone 14 Pro Max.
