Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra shines in battery life test, narrowly beats iPhone 15 Pro Max and Pixel 8 Pro to reclaim battery crown

In a recent battery life test conducted by YouTuber XEETCHARGE, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra faced off against the Pixel 8 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and its predecessor, the S23 Ultra. The comprehensive test involved a variety of apps, including popular social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook, as well as demanding games such as Asphalt 8 and the 3DMark benchmark. The results, depending on your expectations, may or may not surprise you.

Despite featuring a similarly-sized 5,000 mAh battery, the Galaxy S24 Ultra outperformed its predecessor by a significant margin in the battery life test, lasting nearly 11 hours compared to the Galaxy S23 Ultra's 8 hours and 10 minutes. This admirable improvement can be attributed to the Galaxy S24 Ultra's advanced chipset and software optimizations, clearly demonstrating Samsung's commitment to enhancing efficiency.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max, with its smaller 4,422 mAh battery, clocked in at 10 hours and 20 minutes, relinquishing its title as the battery champion. It's noteworthy that the iPhone's battery is approximately 11% smaller than the S24 Ultra's, yet it lasted only 5% less, showcasing the overall efficiency of the iPhone.

Among the 3 flagships, the Pixel 8 Pro claimed the last spot, achieving a battery life of 10 hours, slightly behind the iPhone. However, it's essential to emphasize that all three flagships boast impressive battery life improvements compared to their predecessors. In day-to-day usage, users are going to be hard-pressed to discern any noticeable difference in actual battery performance.

Although the test did not delve into details about the battery health of the other devices, screen resolution, or refresh rates — crucial factors influencing battery endurance — XEETCHARGE successfully highlighted that all three flagships deliver respectable battery life. Users can confidently choose any of these devices without compromising on battery performance, a crucial aspect for many consumers.
