What's up folks how's it going. This is watch hope you guys are all doing well, and today we're going to be taking a look at the Google Pixel 4 XL and seeing how the battery performance stacks up to other popular large screen smartphones, including the Samsung Galaxy note, 10, plus the iPhone 11 Pro max, as well as the standard iPhone 11. Now we're going to take a look at the oral battery specifications charge times as well as take a look at our discharge, custom battery performance test to see how this thing stacks up against the other popular smartphones. So, let's get right into it. Firstly, when it comes to actual battery capacity, the Pixel 4 XL, it doesn't have the biggest battery in the world, 3 700 William hours, and that is smaller than the 4300 William hours, that the Samsung note 10 plus comes with its even smaller than the 11 pro maxi phone, but it is still larger than the iPhone 11 31 10 William hour battery. Now all four devices a feature, quick charging capabilities, and they can all charge up to 18 watts of power.
Except the note, 10 plus, which can actually go up to 45 watts, they also support wireless QI charging, which is definitely a handy, convenient thing now in terms of actual charging speeds. We're going to lay out the 30 minute, 16 minute and 100 charge times right in front of you for all four devices, uh. First we're going to take a look at the wired uh speed. Basically, the pixel 4 that we're concentrating this video on gets around 39 percent in under 30 minutes time. Uh 60, minutes you're getting around 60 and to get to a full charge, takes about 112 minutes and generally the charge times is relatively slow compared to the other devices, and the same results are kind of being mirrored when we take a look at the wireless charging speeds where in 30 minutes time we're only getting about 18 at 60 minutes we're getting about 36 percent and to get to 100 charge took about 211 minutes, so definitely a pretty slow process in terms of getting a full charge when using a standard QI.
Wireless charger. Now before we get into our actual battery drain test results. I just want to talk about our sponsors that made this video possible VPN now, whether you're going to use a VPN for security purposes privacy or for streaming videos on Netflix that you can't get in your native country, VPN uses an eyes 265-bit encryption that keeps your personal data.100, secure and fully private. No data is logged, and they have a very strict user privacy policy. They also allow you to choose nine different connection protocols to optimize your signal.
Quality there's also a dedicated server specifically designed for multimedia streaming applications like watching American Netflix from the UK, or vice versa. You can also stream content from other servers for riders, whether that's Amazon, prime BBC, player, Pandora, Hulu, etc. One of my favorite features about VPN is that it's fully cross-compatible with all the major platforms out there, so whether that's iOS, android windows, max chrome, Linux, as well as other platforms, there's also a dedicated, kill, switch option which will disable your internet connection if the VPN service is disconnected for whatever reason, and you can turn on and off the VPN service for specific applications, which is super customizable and very versatile. Lastly, if you're interested, I would definitely recommend checking out the seven-day free trial period. You get access to the premium service features that we talked about and if you don't have a VPN service that you're using right now, it's something that I think is a real necessity these days and if you're, looking for a VPN service that offers exceptional quality, reliability and privacy at a fair price check out VPN now coming back to the main topic at hand, which is the battery life performance of the Pixel 4 XL.
One of the first things that we always like to do is a simple video. Playback test gives us a good overall benchmark where we keep all the variables extremely simple. We play a video using the VLC app on loop, 50 brightness in airplane mode and simply see how long it takes for the battery to run out from 100. Now on the Pixel 4 XL, we got around 15 hours and 44 minutes in terms of a total run time. That's not as good as the note 10 plus, as well as the iPhone 11 Pro max, which got a score over 17 hours, so it's a roughly around two hours more than we.
What we experienced with the Pixel 4 XL in the same exact conditions, but it is definitely a lot better than the six hours 11 minute run time that we got on the standard iPhone 11. Now for the secondary battery life drain test. What we do is we automate the process of opening closing a certain application using the tasked app on the android side and the shortcuts app on the iOS side, where we simply open and cycle through a couple of different applications that you're going to use on a day-to-day basis at a specific time, and we just have that loop for about five hours and then the remaining time we just simply run a YouTube stream for the rest of the way until we run out of juice on all four devices. I now hear the results of that specific test for the Pixel 4 XL. We got a total run time about eight hours and 53 minutes.
That's still uh fairly far behind the iPhone 11 Pro max, which got a runtime about 13 hours and 35 minutes. The note 10 plus got around 9 hours and 51 minutes and the iPhone 11 got around 6 hours and 12 minutes. So, even though this isn't exactly what you're going to experience in day to day usage of the device, it's still fairly synthetic in nature, but it does give us an idea that, generally speaking, you're, probably going to experience slightly better battery performance on the iPhone 11 Pro max, as well as the note 10 plus and from our experience thus far. We could definitely say that compared to the standard iPhone 11, which is a fairly poor, performing smartphone in terms of battery life, the Pixel 4 XL is certainly superior in that regard. Now the overall battery performance of the Pixel 4 XL is definitely not bad in terms of charge times it's a little slow based on our experience, but in terms of discharge cycles and using this thing on a day-to-day basis, you can definitely go throughout the day in most situations, even if you're a heavy duty power user and still have a decent leftover.
On average, I get at least 30 to 25 percent left at the end of an uh 13 to 12 hours uh work week, so uh fairly, versatile in terms of that it has great options in terms of wireless charging, as we mentioned before, so there's really no faults there and yes, there's definitely going to be other smartphones that are going to be in terms of battery life, but as an overall device. I still think that the building selling feature on this thing is the back side. These two cameras over here still the best camera on a smartphone uh to date, and if you haven't done so already check out our video comparing the new generation iPhone cameras versus the pixel force camera. If you want to know more about what this thing is really capable of other than that, I want to thank VPN for sponsoring this video for making all this stuff possible. We don't get a review unit uh for these smartphones, so we do have to pay for them out of our pocket and uh sponsors, and indeed your support make all this stuff possible in the first place.
So indeed a big. Thank you to you guys and a big thank you to VPN for making this stuff possible check out the description down below if you want to sign up for their seven-day free trial. I'm that guys we'll see you later, and thanks for watching.
