Galaxy S21 Battery Test - Exynos 2100 vs Snapdragon 888 (May Update) By Android Addicts

Hi, it's john from android Alex, and this is a battery drain comparison test for the galaxy s21. So on the left, we have the Eros 2100 variant and on the right we have the snapdragon 888 in the top right and left of the screen. You can see the battery indicator and the current system temperature and what we're going to do in this test is just run through some common applications and some games and just see how long both these phones can last. So all the tests we're running today will be running for about half an hour each, so we're starting with a WhatsApp video call. We're then going to move on to WhatsApp voice, call we'll then move on to a standard, mobile or cellular call followed by some PUBG some cod mobile we'll do some standby testing, some YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram and, of course, everyone's favorite TikTok. So, like I said, each test runs for about 30 minutes.

Twitter one is slightly slower, but what I'm doing is using a macro tool here to actually run the test for me, so I don't have to sit and babysit the phones for the whole day. So I've put some time codes in the description. If you want to jump to any specific area of the test to see how the phones compare with each other also be sure to keep an eye out on the temperature during the test to see exactly how hot each phone gets. Now, this isn't the CPU temperature, and this isn't the GPU temperature just the overall system temperature, so mainly just the battery and how hot it's getting inside. The temperature is updated manually by myself, so I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but it's not gonna, be 100 accurate compared to what you see on the screen, but it just makes it easier for you to see okay, so the WhatsApp video call is finished, and it used eight percent on both phones, so we're now moving on to the WhatsApp voice call here.

I wasn't too worried about the screens being left on here, because we know during a voice call you would have the phone up to your head or even wear a headset. So the screen doesn't really matter if it turns off. Okay, so after 30 minutes on a voice call, we have lost two percent on the Eros and four percent on the snapdragon. So now moving on to the cellular call here, I did turn off Wi-Fi just to make sure it wasn't using a Wi-Fi calling here as well. So we know that it is just using the cellular network again, I let the screen go off here, because you wouldn't normally have your screen on, whilst on a phone call just to point out as well.

I have left the cases on both of these phones they're, both speaking cases just to try and make it more realistic, so that the heat will be trapped as much as it would be for anyone else using a case on their phone and obviously there's two different sim cards. One is on the three network and the other is on the Vodafone network in the UK, but they are both connected to a 4g network. Okay. So after the phone call, we've lost three percent on the Enos and two percent on the snapdragon. So next up we're going to move on to the PUBG test.

So all this is doing at the moment is just running around in circles in the training area. For some reason, the Enos version. I think I might put the left thumb stick in the incorrect position as it wasn't pressing properly and for whatever reason I couldn't actually press it properly myself, but not to worry. I was still trying to get it to run around as much as possible to add some pressure onto the CPU and the GPU okay. So after 25 minutes of PUBG, we lost 9 on both phones here, so we're now going to move into cod mobile so again, rather than just being stood still in a match.

This is going to just run around randomly and turn every, so often that's just to ensure that the CPU and GPU are actually being utilized properly. If you just stood still, then it is a lot less intensive on the processor. So I wanted to make sure this was as realistic as possible. Okay, so after 30 minutes of cod mobile we've lost 8 on the Eros and 6 on the snapdragon, so I'm just doing a restart here, and we're now going to go into the standby test. So half an hour, I've just sat doing nothing.

We've got the always on display on we've got Wi-Fi and mobile data turned on. You can see. Things are syncing in the background on both phones. So again it's as fair as I could make it really. Okay and after half an hour of standby, we have lost just three percent on the Eros and two percent on the snapdragon, so the next test is just going through a YouTube playlist here.

So this is just half an hour of watching YouTube. Interesting to see, the snapdragon does get quite a bit warmer during the YouTube test here and after half an hour of YouTube, we've lost four percent on the XMOS and seven percent on the snapdragon. Next we're just moving on to the Twitter app here, and this is just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling as long as possible. I did have to keep going back up to the top because, unlike other apps like Redis and tick-tock, you can't just keep on scrolling into it. It will actually come to an end, not to worry, though this is obviously just testing the processor okay.

So after about 20 minutes or so of twitter, we lost four percent on both phones so moving on to Reddit. Next and again, you can just keep on scrolling and scrolling on reddit, and it just keeps loading up new stuff. So it was a nice uh app to be able to test out constantly using the Wi-Fi, obviously we're nearly down to the halfway mark on both phones. Here and after half an hour, I've read it scrolling we've lost six percent on the XMOS and seven percent on the snapdragon. So next up it was just going into Spotify here, and we're going to be playing a playlist for half an hour.

There shouldn't be too taxing really, obviously the initial load of the mp3 in the background we use a bit of Wi-Fi but other than that, it's just having the screen on whilst listening to music. Really, okay and after half an hour of Spotify, we lost four percent on the Eros and five percent on the snapdragon. So we're going straight into the Instagram Reels here and after half an hour of scrolling, we have lost eight percent on the Eros and six percent on the snapdragon. Next up is everyone's favorite tic TOC, there's only a one or two percent difference in the battery at the moment, so very, very close between them and after half an hour of ticktock, we lost seven percent on the x-mas and eight on the snapdragon. So now we're just going to loop back and do another YouTube playlist here.

So after another half hour of YouTube, we lost five percent on both phones. Let's move straight on to the twitter test again just trying to get these drained as quick as possible. Now, obviously, the test is nearing the seven-hour mark. So after another 20 minutes on Twitter, we lost three percent on the Eros and four on the snapdragon just going through another session on Reddit, and you can see that the gap between the two phones is increasing slightly now so the Enos on around 20, while the snapdragon is closer to 15. , so another half hour or so I've read it, and we lost another seven percent on the x-loss and eight on the snapdragon one of the last tests here we're on to Spotify again, again just playing a playlist for half an hour.

Okay, so we're over the seven and a half hour mark, which is pretty impressive. Really so we're now going to just go into pub g and just get these finished off, see the gap between the two is quite a lot bigger now, but overall, throughout the test, they've both been very close to each other. Okay and the snapdragon is just about to die here on the eight hour and one minute mark, which is very impressive, really and the Enos is just a few minutes behind with eight hours and six minutes. So that's perfect scores for both phones here, they're, pretty much identical. As you can see now I have put all these details into a spreadsheet, so we can have a quick look at the performance of both phones.

Okay, so here is the spreadsheet. I've put together all the scores here and where there's been a difference in the amount of battery used, I've highlighted the phone or the processor which use the most battery. So let's just go down the list here. So what's that video called they both used the same amount for half hour call the voice call. The Eros only is two percent, whereas the snapdragon used four percent standard cellular call.

The x must use three percent, which is one percent more than the snapdragon and PUBG. They both use the exactly same percent. I will just point out that we're both on smooth and extreme for that test same with Cobb mobile. It was on the lowest and the max frame rate, but we can see that the Eros did use a couple percent more than the snapdragon during cod mobile. So the standby test, the Enos, used three percent, whereas the snapdragon only is two percent that was in half an hour, so both phones had a sim card in obviously, they're going to be connected to different networks, so the results will vary slightly really.

You'd hope that this standby time would be a bit better than that one, both to be honest, maybe one percent both would be nice with a maximum of maybe two percent per hour. You can see here that is uh. It's going to use four percent an hour on the snapdragon and six percent per hour on the x-mas. Now, obviously, that does depend on what's happening in the background. What's happened any other syncing of email and stuff, but uh? That's just what we got in this test.

So moving on to YouTube. Quite interestingly, the snapdragon used a fair bit more than the Eros. Here they were both set to 50 brightness, but the snapdragon did use three percent more battery on Twitter. They both use the exact same amount, which is four percent, and then Reddit snapdragon used one percent more than the Enos Spotify. It used again.

One percent more than the Xmas Instagram, the Enos used a couple percent more during the test compared to the snapdragon ticktock, the snapdragon used an extra percent compared to the Enos YouTube. They actually use the exact same this time, five percent and then twitter, we've used an extra percent on the snapdragon Reddit, another extra percent on the snapdragon and then Spotify an extra percent on the x-mas and then the last test. Just to finish, the drain was PUBG where we used the final 15 on the Enos and the last 12 on the snapdragon. So again, eight hours and six minutes of screen on time mostly screen on. There was a half hour to an hour of time when the phone was locked, either during a call or during the standby.

But overall that's a perfect result for both phones there's very little in it. To be honest, so if you are worried about battery life, I wouldn't worry about either of these phones because they both performed very well indeed so. Average temperatures throughout the test the snapdragon, did seem to get a bit warmer. Overall again, I said I left the cases on in this test because that's how a normal person would have their phone with a case, so it is as fair as I can make it. I didn't bother doing a camera test during this video because I don't think filming a desk is a very good representation of the camera usage.

Particularly you do need to be moving around and focusing on different objects and different scenes for the camera test. To be fair, I have done a proper camera drain test which I've linked down below in the previous camera test that I did so if you are interested in the camera drain, you can have a look at that video. So I hope you enjoyed this video if you did. Please click on the like button and be sure to subscribe to my channel for more videos in the future if you've got any other tests that you want me to do with these two phones. Let me know down below in the comments, and let me know your thoughts also down below as to which phone you think performed better and which, for you would be the better chip to run with.

So thanks for watching, and I'll see you again in the next video you.
