iPhone 12 Mini vs iPhone SE 2020 Battery Life DRAIN Test By UltimateiDeviceVids

What's going on everybody, this is ultimate device AIDS and today, in this video, we're going to be doing a battery drain test between the iPhone 12 mini and the iPhone SE 20 20. These are apple's latest two most compact and comfortable devices in their iPhone lineup, so I'm curious to see how they stack up in a battery drain test. Now, as always, you should definitely take this test with somewhat of a grain of salt, as, of course, there's a variety of factors that contribute to how your battery life is going to be. It all depends on the tasks you're doing on your device and the age of the battery in your device, in addition to a variety of other factors such as the iOS version that you're running etc. This being said, it's definitely worth mentioning that both of these devices have brand-new batteries, so the batteries are in tip-top shape on both of these. So, as usual in this video we're just going to be doing a few tasks on both of these devices and seeing how long each of them can hold a charge, and first I'd like to show you that auto brightness is disabled on both of these devices, and now we're going to set the brightness on both of these to an equal amount using a lux light meter to measure the light output.

So, in a dark environment, we isolated a portion of the screen of both of these devices to prevent the differing screen sizes from interfering with the light reading and made necessary adjustments to the brightness levels, so they're both emitting the same amount of light being a pretty high amount of light. Also, if you're wondering about the differing levels and the brightness sliders there, that's due to the fact that different phone screens emit different amounts of brightness, so setting the same brightness percentage on two devices isn't necessarily going to result in the same amount of light being emitted from both devices. That's why we used the lux meter to calculate brightness. I also want to show you that both true tone and night shift are disabled on both of these devices. Also, the battery capacity is at 100 on both once again.

They both have new batteries, also they're both running the latest iOS version. As of recording this video being iOS 14.2, both devices are currently connected to a power strip, and they're both at 100. So what we're going to do is we're going to go ahead and turn off the power strip and remove the cables all right. So, let's begin with our usual two and a half hours of YouTube video streaming, so we're going to load the same video on both, and we're going to set the quality to 1080p on both we're also going to make sure the video is full screen on the 12 mini, and we're going to be keeping track of time on an iPhone 7 over here. So we're just going to let this video play for two and a half hours, and then we'll come back and check on the battery percentages and after two and a half hours of YouTube, video streaming, the 12 mini is at 83 and the SE.2020 is at 53 so with the 12 mini in the lead. Let's go ahead and move on to an hour and 15 minutes of grand theft, auto San Andreas, so we'll open up the application here on both, and we'll actually get into the game itself, and we're just going to keep the game running on this screen here for an hour and 15 minutes and checking in 50 minutes into San Andreas.

The 12 mini is at 66 and the SE 2020 is at 20. So definitely a little of a surprising result, definitely keep in mind. This is a pretty intense test, with pretty intensive battery draining tasks at a pretty high screen brightness. But that's what we're going for in this video and after an hour and 15 minutes of San Andreas, the 12 mini is at 58 and the SE.2020 is at six percent. So with the SE 2020 barely hanging on, let's move on to one hour of asphalt, 9.

We'll see how long the SC 2020 can keep going here and six minutes into asphalt.9 the se2020 dies, giving it a total on screen time in this test of three hours and 55 minutes. So basically, four hours definitely a little of a surprising result. But once again this is a pretty intense test, but this makes me wonder how much the smaller battery and lack of an OLED display played into the se2020s results. So we're going to keep asphalt, 9 running on the 12 mini for the scheduled hour and after an hour of asphalt, 9, the 12 mini is staying strong with 40 and even though the sc2020 died, we're going to keep the test going until the 12 mini dies as well. So we're just going to head over to safari and go to apple.

com, and we'll just stay idle on apple. com for 1 hour and 30 minutes and checking in after an hour and a half the 12 mini is at 30. And at this point, I'm just going to go back to the YouTube video streaming test on the 12 midi once again, we're going to make sure it's at 1080p and full screen, and we're just going to run this until the 12 mini dies and checking in a while later 2 hours and 43 minutes into the final YouTube streaming test. The 12 mini is now at nine percent, so holding up very well in the streaming test and three hours and 47 minutes into the final video streaming test. The 12 mini dies, giving it a total on screen time of 10 hours and 8 minutes in this test.

So definitely some interesting results. But once again, this was a pretty intense test. Also keep in mind that the majority of the end of this test on the 12 mini was a YouTube streaming. So, for instance, if we threw in some more gaming tests, it probably wouldn't have lasted as long as it did, but if you guys use either of these devices, let me know down below in the comments section what your experience with battery life is like. Thank you guys so much for watching this video, and I'll catch you in the next one peace out.
