New iPhone 7 battery-life tests: Excellent or Below Average.

The handset performance test shows 712 mins of 3G calls, and it turned out to be 1,147 less than the top Android device
Android’s HTC 10 over performed with 1,859 mins of 3G calls and 790 mins 3G internet.


During the official lunch of Apple, they said the iPhone 7 was designed with ‘the best battery life of any smartphone device.
However UK-based review group found that it was actually the worst compared to three Android rivals, including Samsung Galaxy S7, HTC 10 and the LG G5.

The test was based on normal tasks and it confirmed that the iPhone 7 battery lags behind its competitors, especially during 3G call time - it only manged 712 minutes, compared to HTC 10’s 1,859.

A review on the iPhone 7


 They compared the iPhone 7’s battery life, when making calls and browsing the web, to those of three top Android competitors: the Samsung Galaxy S7, HTC 10 and LG G5, and the results were staggering,’ Callum Tennent with Which? shared in the article.
The first test was to see how many minutes of 3G call time each phone could provide.
HTC 10 came in first with 1,859 minutes, followed by LG G5 (1,579), then Samsung Galaxy S7 (1,492) and finally, the iPhone 7 (712).
Apple’s ‘best model yet’ also came in last when for internet performance, but this time it wasn’t left completely in the dust.

The results showed that the iPhone 7 is only 25 minutes less than the LG G5 – the iPhone 7 had 615 minutes, while LG G5 had 640.
However, HTC 10 took home the gold again with 790 minutes, followed by Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with 677.

The HTC 10’s 3G internet browsing time was even longer than the iPhone 7’s 3G call time,’ Tennent writes.
‘It doesn’t make for pretty reading for Apple.’


To get an accurate reading during tests, the test was done using an iPhone network simulator, which ensures the signal strength is consistent during each test.

‘We also set the screen brightness on every phone to the same level,’ explains Tennent.

‘Finally, we perform a full ‘power cycle’ of each phone’s battery prior to testing – that means fully discharging and then charging it.’

Before the iPhone 7 was launched users found another issue that drained their battery – iOS 10.
Twitter and online forums were filled with complains about the revamped operating system draining batteries and causing them to heat up shortly after the software’s release.

Others also claimed they were left unable to get a mobile phone signal on their device after turning the device onto flight mode.
When they turned the feature off they found they were unable to reconnect to their network.
