This Monday, May 10, the specialized site has just unveiled a whole new ranking. The best smartphones in their autonomy. At its top there is a rather surprising model: the Samsung Galaxy M51 with an overall rating of 88 points. As with photography or audio, DxOMark applies a rather specific test protocol. MeilleurMobile was able to discover it in preview and explains what it comes out of it.
DxOMark seeks to put itself in the situation of an average consumer for batteries
The need to test a battery came above all from a response to a customer request. Before buying a smartphone, the information given is not always relevant. Indeed for the same 5000 mAh charge, three smartphones will offer you a different autonomy each time. Especially since according to the first observations made by DxOMark, the battery indicators provided on smartphones do not necessarily conform to reality. ” In general, we notice that between 80 and 100%, the charge becomes more complicated, we have seen mobile models take 30 minutes and others up to 1h30 to complete this step. “
Between 1 month and a month and a half of testing on the battery. Why this need to test the battery? Because for a single charge does not correspond to a user experience. With 5000 mAh you will not have the same autonomy on the phone. It is in the same process. When buying a phone, the information given on battery life is not very relevant. The information is therefore not 100% reliable. A sizeable challenge, all the more so as the French are very sensitive to the issue of autonomy.
The scenario made by DxOMark puts itself in the place of the consumer. The score gives an indication of the performance of a battery. The protocol implemented represents 150 hours of tests for the most autonomous devices. A consumption calculation is made according to the charge for the battery. There are several usage scenarios, some of which copy a person’s normal day. Likewise, the criteria of the phone will all be tested one by one, namely refresh rate, streaming capacity etc. There are even 5-minute tests to find out how much charge is recovered over that period of time. For the test protocols, the company chose robots in order to have the same experiences as a human.

What are the best smartphones in terms of autonomy?
This Monday, May 10, the specialized site published a list of 17 devices arranged in the order of performance. At the top is the Samsung Galaxy M51, followed by the Wiko Power U30, the Oppo Find X3 Neo and the iPhone 12 Pro Max. Each device performs well in one area. In terms of charging, the Super VOOC technology of Oppo high-end smartphones is the most efficient. While in terms of efficiency, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is doing the best.
