Galaxy S20 Ultra vs. iPhone 11 Pro Max Battery Test By PhoneBuff

So, the iPhone 11 Pro max is the current fumble style battery test champ and when you take a look at the rankings on our websites, no other phone right now comes close to it, but today it's going up against its biggest competitor in the galaxy s, 20 ultra a phone that not only has a more power efficient processor compared to last year's galaxy, but it also has a massive 5,000 William hour battery, which is 25% larger than the 4000 million of our battery on the iPhone. However, the galaxy does have a more power hungry display, with its high refresh rates, which we decided to set at 120 Hertz. Considering that that is one of the standout features on this phone now, don't worry, we are gonna, be doing the 60 Hertz first 120 Hertz battery test in an upcoming video, so stay tuned for that, but in the meantime, I'm excited to see how these two phones stack up to each other. These are two the best phones in the world right now, so the question remains which one has the best battery life. Let's find out it's that time of year again we're doing another giveaway this time for a brand-new Galaxy, S, 20 ultra and all you have to do to enter to win is follow us at foam buff on Instagram and that's literally it. This giveaway is international, and we'll be announcing the winner on April 30th, with all the links and info that you need down below.

So we'll start things off in the phone app where each one is going on the same one. Our phone call, both phones are in equal distance of the mini cell tower that we have installed in the lab and both phones have a consistent audio playing on the other end of the call to make sure that we're stressing those earpieces we're. After one hour, the iPhone drops by only one percent down to 99, while the galaxy falls by five percent, all the way down to 95, which, when you consider that the s20 ultra has a giant five thousand William hour capacity, it's a pretty significant drop I'm, not sure if it has to do with that new 5g modem or if it was something else. But we ran multiple trials and it these results were consistent here in the messaging test, we've been going back and forth with our automated chatbot, where, after one hour of texting, the iPhone is able to improve honestly the pulling six percentage points ahead with its battery dropping by only seven percent compared to the nine percent drop on the galaxy in this email test, we're simply opening up emails and scrolling through them a couple of times like you would in real life or after 1 hour of email. We get a similar result as the last test, with the iPhone pulling another two percentage points ahead, bringing its total lead to 8 percentage points very early on in this battery test, we'll see if the s2000 truck can and cut into the iPhones lead here in the browser test, we're recycling through the same set of websites on each phone, where, after an hour this time, the difference is at least a little smaller, but the iPhone still did a better job dropping by 9% compared to the 10% drop on the galaxy here in instar, we're doing exactly what you would do in real life simply is scrolling through the home feed.

Where, due to the sheer amount of scrolling, that's going on in this test, it's going to be interesting to see how that 120 Hertz display has an effect on the galaxy's battery life. But after one hour it actually doesn't do much worse with the galaxy only behind by one percentage point. So as we head into a half-time here with the standby test. Obviously the iPhone is outperforming, but given the bigger screen and the higher refresh rates, the s20 ultra is at least hanging in there and after the 16 hours standby if it's actually able to match the iPhones performance with both bones doing really well dropping by just 6%. As we move on to YouTube.

It's worth noting that we've calibrated the speakers on each phone at the same decibel counts and, of course, the screen. Brightness has also been calibrated to the same level as well, and after one hour of binge-watching bomb on YouTube, the iPhone improves its ten-point lead up to 12 points with it at 54%, compared to just 42 on the Galaxy and unfortunately for the Galaxy S 20 outre things might just get even worse here in the gaming test, considering it has a larger screen and again that higher refresh rates and after one hour of playing in Altos adventure. Actually somewhat surprisingly, the Galaxy was able to match the iPhones performance with both phones dropping by an equal 10%. So we've seen the Galaxy do worse in some areas and match the iPhone in others, but what it has yet to do is beat the iPhone in any one of these tests, we'll see if that changes here in maps where we're simulating navigation by having each phone's GPS sensor turned on and both phones actively checking for traffic information we're after one hour. The difference is a small one, but dye phone is still managed to do better with it adding yet another percentage point to its lead.

Here in Spotify we have a robot listening to its favorite pattern of sounds again with both phones having their speaker's calibrated to the same decibel count we're after one hour like we saw in some previous tests. The two phones perform identically with each phone dropping by 10%, but as we head into snap chats, the iPhones advantage is likely going to be a factor here. Considering that snap chats is one of the most intensive tests in this entire battery test and considering that the Galaxy has a 40 megapixel, selfie camera setup, I'm, not sure if it's going to do any better in this test and in others, and after just 35 minutes, all five thousand William hours of the galaxy's battery are completely depleted with it only managing to beat the smaller iPhone 11pro by 10 minutes. While this iPhone 11 Pro max here still has 17% left to go, which allows it to finish the Snapchat test, with an impressive 12 percent of battery remaining, allowing it to move on to the app cycle test which, by the way, the iPhone still the only phone, that's been able to do that. We're after one hour and five minutes of this extremely intensive test, the iPhone finally calls it quits with it managing the last a full one hour and thirty minutes of screen time longer.

Despite having a battery, that's over a thousand William hours, smaller, making the winner and still the fumble style battery test, champ the iPhone 11 Pro max anyways. That is it for me in this video. Thank you guys for watching and as always I'll see you in the very next episode.
