While Apple's "Pro Max" versions have usually had the best battery life among flagship smartphones, this seems to have shifted recently. A new battery endurance test has revealed that Xiaomi's newly launched Xiaomi 15 Pro now holds the title for the top flagship battery performance.
Impressive Results
Tech Droider conducted the test and found that the Xiaomi 15 Pro surpasses the iPhone 16 Pro Max, OnePlus 12, Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Galaxy S24 Ultra, making a strong case for having the best battery life in the flagship segment. It's worth noting that both the OnePlus 12 and Galaxy S24 Ultra are equipped with the previous-generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
In the endurance test, the Pixel 9 Pro XL managed to last for 9 hours and 59 minutes while reaching a temperature of 42.4°C. The Galaxy S24 Ultra performed slightly better, lasting 10 hours and 23 minutes but got quite hot at 50.4°C. The OnePlus 12 did even better, running for 10 hours and 46 minutes while staying cooler at 43.6°C. On the other hand, Apple's iPhone 16 Pro Max heated up to 50°C while lasting an impressive 11 hours and 16 minutes, but it still didn't beat the Xiaomi 15 Pro, which lasted an outstanding 12 hours and 23 minutes at a reasonable 43.8°C.
Advantages of Xiaomi 15 Pro
It's clear that the Xiaomi 15 Pro has several benefits over its competitors. For starters, it's the newest device in the bunch, which likely means it has less battery wear compared to older phones. Additionally, it's the only one equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor; all other models, except for the iPhone 16 Pro Max, utilize older system-on-chip technology. The most significant edge, however, is its battery capacity, boasting a 6100 mAh unit that is the largest among these flagship smartphones.
