Tram Ho

In addition to improvements in specifications and design, the iPhone 12 lineup also adds an important feature that is 5G network connectivity. Despite bringing many benefits to users, 5G also causes the iPhone 12 to lose battery significantly faster than 4G.

Recently, Tom’s Guide page has just performed a test to test battery life by using iPhone to surf the web continuously at 150 nits of screen brightness, open a new web page every 30 seconds until the battery runs out. . Interestingly, this test was performed on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, in both 4G and 5G modes.

The results showed that when using 5G, the iPhone 12 had a battery life of 8 hours 25 minutes, while the iPhone 12 Pro was slightly better at 9 hours 6 minutes. In 4G mode, both the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have significantly longer battery life, at 10 hours 23 minutes and 11 hours 24 minutes, respectively.

Do a small math, it can be easily realized that iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro “drain” the battery up to 20% faster when using a 5G network connection. Similar tests with the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro duo using 4G, obtained results 11 hours 16 minutes and 10 hours 24 minutes respectively.

“Compared to other Android competitors in the same segment, Apple’s new iPhone line is a notch below when it comes to battery life, especially in 5G mode.” – said Tom’s Guide .

In fact, the battery capacity of the iPhone 12 series is much lower than that of the iPhone 11. To provide longer life, Apple has added “Smart Data Mode” to the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. , help turn off 5G and switch to using 4G network connection at times when it is not needed to improve battery life.

In addition, users can also manually turn off 5G to increase battery life on iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. In the settings, you can choose between “5G On”, “5G Auto” – Apple’s smart data mode, and LTE.
