iPhone 12 ULTIMATE Battery DRAIN Test! By Darius K

Hey, what's up guys, it's Darius and in this video I'll, be testing the battery of the brand new iPhone 12 and comparing it with a few of its competitors at a similar price range. Last year's iPhone 11 the brand new Google Pixel 5, the Sony, Xperia 5 mark ii and the Samsung Galaxy s20. Before we start all of them are, of course, fully charged they're on the same Wi-Fi network with Bluetooth and location enabled, and I made sure to match the brightness as good as possible, but let's jump right in with YouTube. What was a little weird when apple announced the iPhone 12, they never mentioned battery life. Yes, iPhone 11 did have very good battery life, but it also has a 720p LCD panel. The iPhone 12, however, has gotten a massive display upgrade now with a much higher resolution.

Granted it is an OLED panel which should be more efficient and in combination with a more efficient a14 bionic chip should last longer than the iPhone 11. Then again, the actual battery capacity has decreased by around 10, which I guess we'll see how all of this comes together. On the android side, they all have around 4 000 William hour batteries. The main difference is in chipset. The Google Pixel has the least powerful snapdragon 765 g, the Sony, a snapdragon 865, and I have the international model of the s20 with the Enos 990.

Another major difference between these devices is with the display, because the s20 and the Xperia 5 mark ii are both running at 120 hertz, the pixel 5 and 90 hertz, and both the iPhones only add 60 hertz. After an hour of YouTube watching the pixel is in the lead, with 97 remaining closely followed by the iPhone 12 with 96 percent iPhone 11 has 94, the Sony has 93 and the s20 comes in last, with only 88 remaining now, let's hop into some light gaming. After around 15 minutes of light gaming, we're down to 85 on the s20 92 on the Sony 96 on the pixel 92 on the iPhone 11 and 94 on the iPhone 12. After that, I'm going to run geek bench, which I know you don't do in a regular day, but I think it is quite interesting to see how these all stack up, and it does take a toll on the battery. The results are in we're still waiting for the pixel 5, which obviously does have the slowest processor, but there are no surprises here.

The iPhone 12 completely destroyed the competition check it out. It has a slightly higher single core score than the pixel 5's multi-core score, which is hilarious but yeah, but now I'm going to hop into a Zoom call, I'm just going to set it all up on a separate phone. So it's all fair. It's definitely going to be very interesting to see how these hold up, because this is a very intense task. After half an hour, the pixel is still in the lead with 85 percent.

Second place is the iPhone 12 and the Sony with 83. Then the iPhone 11 with 80 and last place still the s20, with only 73 percent spending, almost an hour on tick. Took definitely took a toll on the battery in particularly on the pixel 5 and the s20. The s20 is just below 50 percent, while the pixel is down to 65 and the iPhone 11 and the Sony are down to 66 percent and the iPhone 12 is now in the lead with 67. But now, let's move on to Netflix.

Another hour has passed, we're down to 61 on the iPhone 12 59 on the iPhone 11 and the Xperia 5 mark ii, 53 on the pixel 5, and only 38 on the s20, which definitely is not doing well. One thing I did want to mention is: when apple announced iPhone 12. They could not stop talking about 5g. Now. All of these phones don't have a sim card in them, but 5g would definitely affect the battery life quite a bit more.

The iPhone 12, the pixel 5 and the Xperia 5 mark ii all have 5g, the iPhone 11 doesn't have it and the s20 does exist in a 5g model, but I only have the 4g variant. Now, let's go back to some gaming with among us a very fun game, I'm creating a match on a separate device and joining it with all of these devices. After around half an hour, we only have a third left on the s20 49 on the pixel 55 on both the 11 and the Xperia mark ii, which seem to be doing equally well and iPhone.12 is still in the lead, with 57 remaining now, let's hop into the camera and do a very intensive task, but just having them record video for about half an hour. This is quite intense. We've been recording video for around 35 minutes now, and the s20 only has 15 percent remaining the pixel 36 percent, the iPhone 11 and Xperia 39, and the iPhone 12 an astonishing 47 in this round.

It really added on to its lead, moving on to some more YouTube watching after another hour of YouTube, we're going to run a 3dmark benchmark which tests the graphics performance the pixel came in last. As is to be expected, the Samsung actually beat the Sony, which is interesting because the Sony does have the more powerful processor and both iPhones are obviously way better than the android phones, but very interesting. The iPhone 11 actually scored significantly higher than the iPhone 12 did, despite it having an older processor, no idea, what's up with that. Maybe it's not optimized yet the a14 chip on the iPhone 12. I would hope so because you shouldn't get worse performance on a newer device.

The s20 is almost dead, but let's jump into some more gaming with subway surfers we're approaching seven hours and the s20 is at one percent, while the others are still going strong. You got 21 left on the iPhone 11 27 on the pixel 28 on the Xperia 5, and the iPhone 12 still has a big lead with 36 remaining. There goes the s20, it lasted 6 hours and 57 minutes, which is definitely not a bad result at all, but the others are still going strong. Let's hop into some Instagram Reels, almost seven and a half hours in the Xperia has 23 remaining the pixel 5 21, the iPhone 11 18 and the iPhone 12 a whopping 30 remaining once again we're going to go into zoom because we're obviously very busy with meetings and almost eight and a half hours in the iPhone 12 finally hit the 20 mark, while the rest are all on single digits. Only iPhone 11 is about to die with only two percent remaining on the android side.

They both have five percent, while the iPhone 12 still has 16 remaining we're going to go back to some light gaming and there was the iPhone 11. It lasted eight hours and 44 minutes, which is a great result. Both the pixel and the Xperia have four percent remaining, while the iPhone 12 is still going strong with 15 left we're back in Netflix, we just passed the nine hours mark and there goes the pixel 5. It lasted 9 hours and 7 minutes, which is a great result and just 10 minutes later. The Sony died again an incredible result and very interesting that it lasted so long because, like I said, all android phones have around 4 000 William hour large batteries, both the Sony and the Samsung have 120hz panels.

The only difference is that the Samsung actually has a quad HD panel, but it's running at 1080p. Maybe that has an extra toll on the battery. I don't know, then again, it also uses the Enos 990 chips, which is not very power efficient, but the Sony definitely did a great job. iPhone 12 is still going strong, though, with 12 remaining, which is insanely impressive. I'm going to speed up the rest, some more Netflix, some more Instagram Reels back to some video recording and after over 10 and a half hours, the iPhone 12 finally died.

That is an incredible result. It outlasted all the other phones by more than an hour and lasted almost two hours longer than its predecessor, the iPhone 11. What do you think of these results? Let me know in the comments down below I'm very impressed with the iPhone 12. Yes, it has a more power, efficient, CPU and an OLED panel, but it is pushing a lot more pixels than iPhone 11, and I did not expect these results at all by the way, if you're still torn between iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro they have the same battery capacity and the same internals and the same display, so battery life should be the exact same. Thank you guys for watching.

I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did make sure to smash the like button.
