Galaxy S10 (Snapdragon) vs. Galaxy S10 (Exynos) Battery Test By PhoneBuff

All right, so we already did the fumble of style, speed test between the Snapdragon and the Enos version of the galaxy s 10, and you know, without giving anything away. There was a difference in that test, I'll be linking it down below in case you missed it, but speed is only one factor to consider in a smartphone another factor. Arguably, the more important factor for a lot of people is battery life. I've seen some reports where the Enos version looks like it has the advantage and then some other reports where it's the opposite, with the Snapdragon version, having the advantage. So today we're just gonna, make it official with the phone buff style battery test. Taking a look at the spec sheet, the global version of the s10 is using Samsung's own eight nanometer Enos 98 20, while the US and Canadian version of the S 10 is using Qualcomm z-- 7 nanometers Snapdragon 855.

Everything else on these two phones is pretty much the same, but the question, of course, is whether battery life is the same. So, let's find out, after the test check out the official fumble of style rankings on our website at the link below which we created with the sponsor of today's video in Wix. So you can do a lot of different things on your smartphone nowadays and thanks to Wix is artificial design. Intelligence. You can add, building a professional website to that list.

After answering just a few questions and uploading, some of your photos, Wix's ad I, can have your new website up and running in a matter of minutes so tap into the power of your smartphone and AI, and build your own website for free at the first link down below all right. So we'll kick things off with the phone test where we're making a one-hour call on each phone. We're testing both bones and the same exact location with the same exact SIM card and an equal range of the mini cell tower that we have installed in the lab. Our robot is covering the proximity sensor here for the majority of the tests, since in the real world, when you're on a phone call, you keep your phone pressed up to your ear, where the screen remains off most of the time after one hour, both phones see their battery drop by an equal, seven percent, which isn't the worst results, but, more importantly, so far, there isn't a difference between the two different variants of Samsung's flagship smartphone, but it'll be interesting to see if this holds up here in the messaging test, where we're simulating a real life text messaging conversation by typing in a string of letters and suggestions with our automated chatbot coming back with the same set of responses from the other end. Of course, we have the displays on each phone and calibrated to 200 nits to make sure that what we're testing here is the difference between the chipsets and that's some random discrepancy in the display brightness.

After one long hour of texting back and forth, the Snapdragon variant of the s10 drops by 9% compared to the 10% drop on the Enos variant. Definitely not enough of a difference at this point to draw any conclusions, so we'll move on to the email test to see if the trend continues. What we're doing here is opening up the same set of emails on each phone and then actually scrolling through each one of these emails to simulate you check email in the real world. We make sure to freshly install the email app on every phone that we test so that way, each phone is loading up the emails for the very first time after one hour, both phones drop by an equal 10% in battery with the snapdragon variants, till 1 percentage point ahead at 74%, with the X and O's variants right there behind it at 73. So, so far the two phones look like they're performing about the same, which is exactly the way that it should be, as nobody should have to pay around the same amount of money for an inferior version of the same phone.

We'll continue the test by heading into the browser where we have a customized script that randomly cycles through the same set of websites to help keep things more realistic. We also have a robot scrolling through these websites at fixed intervals to better simulate how you actually browse the web in real life after the one-hour web browsing session. It's the same story: both phones drop by an equal 12 percent, with the snapdragon variants battery being at 62%, while the X and O's variants is at 61. Next, test up is Instagram where we're on the home feed, and we have a robot scrolling through the feed, just like you would in real life. Now.

This is important, since not only are we loading out fresh content by scrolling on the screen, but we're also interacting with the screen, which means that the phone has to process those swipes which may have an effect on battery life. After one hour of scrolling, the screen for dopamine, we finally see some sort of difference between the two, albeit a tiny one, with the snapdragon variant dropping by 11% to 51 and the Enos variant dropping by 12% to 49 moving on we're heading into the standby test. A test that makes conducting these battery tests take an incredible amount of time, but something that I think is really important since in the real world, in the course of a 24-hour day, your phone is gonna, be on standby, most of the time, whether in your pockets or just sitting there, on your desk sixteen hours of standby with the sim card still installed, we see our first major difference between the two variants of the s10, with the Snapdragon version, dropping by only eight percent 243, whereas the external experience did significantly worse dropping by a whopping 17 percent, all the way down to 32 indicating that, for whatever reason the Enos parent doesn't do as well and standby, even in a controlled environment like our test lab, but we'll see if the trend continues, as we move back to these screen on tests with us heading into YouTube. First, where we'll be playing the same set of videos. Of course, we've calibrated the speakers on each phone to the same decibel level to make sure that things remain as controlled as possible and after one hour of YouTube binge-watching both bones drop by an equal amount once again allowing the snapdragon variant of the Galaxy S ten to hold on to its lead with its battery now at 28%.12 percentage points ahead of the Enos variants, which sees its battery drop down to 16% now heading into the gaming test. Here will be interesting because, unlike most of the other screen on tests, this one more heavily taxes, the processors on each phone, so we'll likely see at least some sort of difference, maybe even a potential come back by the Enos variants, but unfortunately that didn't happen with the Enos variant of the s10 losing all 16% of its battery.

Just one minute shy of completing the one-hour test, while the Snapdragon variant was able to complete the full hour and dropped by only 15%, while doing so with 13% of its batteries still remaining, which considering that the next test up here is maps, it could mean that while the Enos variant would leave you stranded, the Snapdragon variant would still have enough juice to potentially take you home with it. Getting through entire one-hour simulated navigation test with two percent batteries still left to go, we'll see how long that 2% lasts here in Spotify, where, after just two minutes into the test, the Snapdragon variant of the s10 finally calls it quits. So with both phones out of juice. Let's take a look at the results. The Enos variant of the s10 lasted 22 hours and 59 minutes.

When you count the 16 hours stand by while the Snapdragon variant lasted over an hour longer at 24 hours and 2 minutes making the winner and the longer-lasting version of the Galaxy S 10 Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 variants for the updated battery test rankings be sure to check out our website at the link below which we created easily with our sponsor Wix's, drag and drop editor anyways. That is it for me in this video. Thank you guys for watching and as always, I'll see you in the very next episode.
