UNFAIR battery battle: 72 hours with Pixel 8 and Zenfone 10

Wondered how much better the battery of the Zenfone 10 could be before selling it.. so I used them together for 3 days straight.

    I said 2 hours in the video, my bad, it ended with 3.5hours over a 36 hour period for the Pixel 8. The Zenfone had over 4.5 hrs SOT on the 3rd day with 29%. I've sold the Zenfone and keeping Pixel 8. Something about it I just love.

    This is an awesome video and I wouldn't expect much coverage of the Zenfone 10 still, so seeing this is really nice. I've noticed that the idle battery drain on the Pixel 8 is horrendous. I hope the Pixel 9's Tensor G4 which will assumingly be based on the Exynos 2400 will be much more efficient. I would be curious to see the Zenfone 10 vs the Galaxy S24, because I think that may be a more "fair" fight, although I would imagine Zenfone 10 would still win.

    Crazy difference, but it's nothing unexpected.

    Not sure about clarity of the battery issue. I have pixel 8. So was the adaptive battery on and if so for how long since the phone was new? The same for asus, first weaks of usage adaptive battery is learning and it doesn't have long time battery life. I'm not using AB but know how it works so this could be the issue because the difference on battery shouldn't be that big and especially since I'm using the pixel 8 I know it can go way longer (pretty much the same as s23 unless You make a lot of calls than it will be noticeable worse cause all of the pixel's magic making the call quality great by removing the background noise)

    Yes adaptive is on, I also don't charge my phones to 100 unless I'm doing tests like this to conserve battery health. Zenfone is about 4 months older than Pixel, I assume both are still at similar health. Used Zenfone fulltime for 5 months and Pixel fulltime 3 months. If you sit and use Pixel for 5 hours straight, it'll last. It sucks with standby. This test was done over 3 days and pixel lasted 1.5 days which is solid. In saying that, I'll keep pixel over Zenfone any day. WAY more fun to use.

    The issue with the pixel phone is that when you move around it always looking to WIFI, It might run longer if you deactivate it. I personally never use WIFI and my pixel old 5H30 screen time. I'm often on the gram and play Brawlstar on a daily basis (Its 11PM am currently at 3H27 of screen time, 65% battery left: screen time 49% KZread display always on, as I'm broke, with wireless buds 25% Snapchat today and I just realized WIFI is on and I'm connected through my box) I got the pixel 8 since 4 months now.

    One of the reason about I switch from Android to IOS (besides wanting to try new things) is iddle battery life. No matter what phone I use, when I'm not using (doesn't matter wifi or data) android simply consumes more battery. Either you manually interrupt process or install custom rom. IOS after a couple of weeks it learns when you are working and it maintains good battery. MAYBE it's just me but older android version didn't have this problem.

    I had Xperia Z1 compact, Xperia Z5, Pixel 1-3-4a. Xiaomi Mi 9 T. Samsung A54. Then I tried S9 plus and Note 10+ I would say early years of Xperia were great for non-heavy users, you could have those phones for 2 days and they were ok. Of course, if you test them, those phones had average SOT, but it was nice to have some juice when you didn’t use them. Pixel 1 was great on Android 7; I used that phone for work (phone calls) and it held up really great. With Android 10 it simply started depleting battery for no reason. Same thing happened with 3 and 4a with newer updates. Xiaomi 9T had a bigger battery but I saw how that phone consumed it for no reason. A54 is a beast phone for heavy user, videos, music, Bluetooth no problems, nice SOT (manage to pull 8 hours), but somedays the phone randomly consumed battery doing nothing, other days it was great. S9 and Note 10+ have great idle battery consumption if you use battery saving mode. I think is planned obsolescence with battery and newer SO. On IOS my first iPhone was 13 mini, with a smaller battery it lasted me over a day, perfect for some phone calls and checking email. I think it is a great phone for non-heavy user and for working. Still, it wasn’t great with data on or watching KZread (average SOT was 4 hours). After 16 months and 89% I switched to my current Iphone 15 (non pro). At 100% battery, I have some crazy days at work and I almost didn’t use it, at home just a little bit of Instagram and some KZread (less than 1 hour, wifi only) and went to sleep. This phone lasts me 2 days with one single charge (second day I had 8%). With heavy use I have 6 hours SOT (can push it to 7). Of course, you have the big boys (plus or pro max - S24 Ultra) with better SOT but it is worth mentioning how a phone can last that much just staying on

    @@thesamuelnam Certainly sir! I would like a compact phone with a great battery, tired of my pixel 6 dying 3 times a day. What is interesting is that the Zenfone 11 is rumoured to have an ultra variant, and if it's bigger I wouldn't be going with it. In addition the Xperia 5 V is small too (6.1inch), with a great battery like the Zenfone (as found in GSMArena's battery test, MrWhosTheBoss battery of the year, and other sources). Potentially, a great option for learning manual photography similar to a DSLR camera. Both are small and battery beasts, which is my need. I run my options down to these 2 and I'll see which of them I want to buy in the new release, this year! :D Edit: Plus I need the headphone jack for my IEMs!!! :)

    Apparently the Zenphone has a 2 year OS support only. Therefore, I picked up the Pixel 8 over the Zenphone because the camera is better and the OS updates are for a lot longer. Battery life on the Pixel for me is pretty much a full day, 6am to 10pm ending with 15% with above average usage.

On the days with only Wifi or mix usage I get 11 hours SOT from full charge. These numbers are consistent almost always.

    Yeah, I get anywhere between 3 - 5 hours. Every day is different for me. Check my pixel video out, where I saved a screenshot every night. But never really got 6 hours with 30% left more like 5hours SOT with 5% left. I have 5G switched off and AOD off. My S24 Ultra died at 6hours SOT with SD8g3 and 5000MAH. But some days have 25% left with 5 hours SOT. SOT is a bad measuring stick tbh.
