Pixel 4a (5G) vs OnePlus Nord - Battery Drain & Charging Test! By Darius K

Hey, what's up guys, it's Darius, and I recently made a battery comparison of the OnePlus word and the Pixel 4a. I know it's been a while I've been quite busy, but I still wanted to follow up on that which I'm doing right now by comparing the OnePlus word versus the Google Pixel 4a 5g, the Pixel 4a's bigger brother. Now, if you haven't seen the other video I'll leave that link below, I won't spoil it for you now, but this one should be quite an interesting one. Now before we start both are in the same Wi-Fi network with Bluetooth and location, enabled there's no sim card in either of them and have matched the brightness to around a thousand locks. Let's jump right in with some YouTube. The pixel 4 a5g has a 6.2 inch 1080p OLED panel. The word screen is a little bigger at 6.44 inches, also 1080p, but the major difference between these two is that the word has a 90 hertz panel compared to just a 60hz one on the 4a 5g in terms of batteries. You do have a slightly larger one on the OnePlus coming in at 4150 William hours compared to 3885 William hours, I'm very curious to see how these perform.

Let me know in the comments down below what your guess is going to be which of these will win and take into consideration that the OnePlus is running at 90hz and the pixel only at 60. After an hour of YouTube, the pixel is down to 97, while the OnePlus word is down to 94. Let's move on to some 4k video recording now after half an hour of recording, the pixel is still in the lead, with 87 compared to 84, just double-checking that they're still the same brightness. Now we're going to go into a browser test which auto refreshes a web page every 60 seconds. After almost another hour, the pixel is down to 79, while the OnePlus is down to 75.

Now we're going to go into geek bench. They both actually have the same snapdragon 765 g processor and the pixel only comes with six gigs of ram. While the OnePlus comes with six eight or 12 gigabytes. I actually have the 12 gigabyte model here which, by the way, brings the cost, at least here in Europe, to 500 euros for both the pixel and the OnePlus word. But, like I mentioned, you can get the word in a few cheaper variants.

The results are in the word actually completed it before the pixel did, and also scored quite a bit higher, which is weird because, like I said they have, the exact same processor maybe has something to do with the extra ram on the OnePlus, I'm not sure. But now, let's move on to some light gaming with among us, I'm hosting the match on a separate device to keep it all fair. After around 40 minutes of gaming, the pixel now has a 5 lead with 73 remaining and only 68 on the word. Let's keep going with some Instagram Reels again. Around 40 minutes have passed, and the pixel still has the same.

Five percent lead. Now, let's move on to a more intense task by joining a Zoom meeting again to keep it fair. That is, of course, hosted on a separate device. The meeting concluded after around 40 minutes, as I don't have Zoom pro, and it was quite an intense task, but what is interesting is that the gap now has decreased. The word is at 49 and the pixel at 52.

Now, let's move on to some more gaming with subway surfers an hour later, the pixel's down to 41 percent and the north to 37 percent. Let's now go into some Netflix after half an hour, the pixels down to 38 and the north to 34 again back to some more light gaming. I personally don't really game on my phone, but it is quite a good way of draining the battery seven hours in the pixels holding on to its four percent lead now with the third remaining, while the word is down to 29. Now, let's move on to ticktock, which is also quite intense. Another hour, has passed 23 remaining on the pixel and 19 remaining on the word back to some more YouTube watching after half an hour, the word has 15 remaining and the 4a 18.

I wanted to run another benchmark, the 3d mark benchmark, which is quite an intense graphics benchmark. The results are again very interesting: they have the exact same graphics chip, but the word scored significantly higher than the pixel. Maybe the word is clocked higher. I really don't know, but I found this very interesting, but now, let's actually put that to the test with asphalt.9. we're a little over the 9-hour mark both are in single digits, only seven percent on the four, a and four percent on the word.

Let's go back to some more reels, we're approaching nine and a half hours and the word is about to die with one percent remaining, while the pixel's still going strong with five percent, and there goes the word, it lasted just shy of nine and a half hours, which is an incredible result, especially considering that it has a 90 hertz panel. The pixel, on the other hand, still has four percent remaining. I'm going to fast-forward the rest just past the ten hours mark. I'm going to jump into some more subway surfers now, and there goes the pixel. It lasted ten hours and four minutes, which is an amazing result.35 minutes more than the word I'm very impressed with both of them, especially the word, though, because it has the 90 hertz refresh rate panel, but you can't really go wrong with either of them. They will last you a very long time as a quick bonus.

I have a charging test, obviously now at zero percent. They both support fast charging, the pixel only at 18 watts, though compared to the 30 watts warp charging on the OnePlus 15 minutes in the pixels up to 24, while the word is at an impressive 34. Already after half an hour, the pixel is up to 46, while the OnePlus is at a whopping 70, which is actually what OnePlus advertises. Now, if you forgot to charge your phone, you can just pop it in for 30 minutes, and you'll, be at 70 percent. That's great.

After 45 minutes the pixel's two-thirds charged while the OnePlus is nearly fully charged at 94 percent, and now the word is fully charged. It took just under an hour which is really quite fast, especially considering the fairly affordable price tag of the word and the fast charging brick is actually included in the box. The pixel still has a little way to go, though it's only at 83 percent an hour and 15 minutes in it's up to 93 percent one and a half hours in the pixel is almost fully charged at 98, and now the pixel is also fully charged. It took almost 40 minutes longer than the OnePlus, which is crazy. Now, what do you think of these results? The battery life and the charging speed of both these devices? I think they're, both amazing.

The OnePlus, especially, is very impressive, given its 90 hertz panel and the crazy fast charging for only 400 bucks. It is a great deal, but I also like the pixel. In my opinion, it has a much better camera, but you can't really go wrong with either of the two. Let me know in the comments down below which of the two you prefer now, if you're interested I'll leave.
