Samsung Galaxy S10e vs Google Pixel 3 XL - Battery Comparison By DanieBoy's Tech

Hey guys and gals Danny Boy here and today, I have the Samsung Galaxy S 10 II and the Google Pixel 3 XL, and what I want to do in this video is discussed. The batteries on these phones see what my experience has been and what I think you know. Overall, is the picture here, and you know: do the paper numbers match the real-world experience, and you know that's often you know we see spec sheets, we see what the rundown is, but sometimes that doesn't correlate or represent what the real world experiences, and so that's what we want to talk about in this video. Okay now both of these phones here in 2020 can be had for roughly the same price. We're talking used to range 4 to 500 bucks here. So you know pretty comparable here.

So let's get at this galaxy s, 10 e! What we're dealing with here is a 3100 William hour battery. Ok, so pretty I guess you would say lower end capacity wise, especially for a flagship level device, but that does not have that 3,100 does not translate into poorer performance. That's for sure, ok, so Google Pixel 3xl we're dealing with a 34 30 William hour battery. So you know 330 more Williams here on the pixel 3xl. Now it is a bigger phone for sure, as we can clearly see here.

Definitely a bigger phone. As a matter of fact, you might think the pixel should be carrying more of a 4000 or something like that, but it is what it is. You know so definitely a little conservative for the size of the phone, especially here in 20 20 not granted. This is a November 2018 model phone, so it is what it is okay. So what is my experience been and using both of these phones as a daily driver for a time I still currently am I using? Yes, Texas.

My daily driver, but I did use the pixel 3 XL here for three weeks as my daily driver and what was my experience and what is my experience, so I'm off charged about 12 to 13 hours in a given day, I'm about a medium user, maybe 12 or 2 to 3 hours of screen on time is about my normal usage of my smartphone. Okay, so with the galaxy s 10 II here by the end of the day, I usually have around 60% of my battery life left I would say: that's give or take 5 or 10% just depending on that day, but on average I'd say about 60%. So that's perfect I mean considering we're only dealing with a 3100 William hour battery. Here you might think it'd come in lower like 50 or even 40%, but that's simply not the case. Samsung has done a perfect job optimizing this battery.

Ok, this does have a 438 PPI display, not quite HD, but a little better than 1080p right so, and it has an always-on display and yet, despite both of those things, they've been able to squeeze out good battery life here and this phone is relatively thin. I mean it's not a thick phone by any stretch. Okay, so I have really been happy with the battery performance. Here, Google Pixel 3 excels same usage. You know 1213 hours off charge medium usage on this phone at the end of the day, generally around 50% battery life left.

So, even though this has a 34 30, William hours versus the 3100 here, this, the performance of the galaxy s- 10 II I would say is better, but the pixel that's still respectable. That's still within totally acceptable parameters in my book being at 50% by the end of the day. Now you know some days if I used it heavy I might be down to 40%, but still that's respectable. It's not bad by any means. Now, if you're heavy using this phone like say, I was on vacation, I was shooting a lot of video taken.

A lot of pictures. I might drain this down to 20% or even 10%. If I was using it heavy, whereas on the s10, II, I, probably never get below, say 20%, okay, so you got to take that into consideration. It depends on your usage, okay, but the beautiful thing to hear is guys. We have wireless charging on both of these phones.

Okay, now the s10 has 15 watt fast I. Guess if you call that fast wireless charging, okay and the S 10 II here- can do reversible charging at 9 watts. Ok, so that's cool to have the reversible charging. I have never personally had a need to use it, and I've had this phone for since November, and I've never had a need to use the reversible wireless charging, but if you were in an airport or whatever, and you needed to charge your headphones or something and you're in a pinch, I can imagine that the reversible wireless charging would be helpful, but I don't think for most people. It's probably not something that you're going to use all the time.

Okay, so just keep that in mind, but it's nice to have it. Okay, so both have wireless charging, we're good they're, both come with fast charging bricks and the boxes. So that's nice, okay, I, think the googles, 18 watt I, don't quite remember what the Samsung's is, but it's fast, okay, so that's good, so yeah I mean now as far as battery optimization or rather power saving modes. Lets kind of get in here and see what we got going on here. Let's see battery okay.

So if we click battery here, okay, the nice thing about a Samsung device- is you generally have these power saving modes and that's really cool, because you can actually customize how you want what you want to happen when you enable one of these modes? Okay, so that's the medium power saving mode, and then you have maximum power saving mode, and then you can kind of see what we're dealing with there. Okay and then you can do adaptive power saving, or it turns it on when it thinks it should be okay, so that's pretty cool! Okay charging! You can turn off the fast charging on either core data worldwide. Unless that's interesting, if you want to conserve energy, here's your wireless power share here. Okay- and let's see now you can. This is something new that Samsung has done.

I think it was with the 2.1 update. It might have been here before, but it's the first time, I've noticed it, and you've got the ability to sleep apps when you're, not using them. Now I put a bunch of apps and deep sleep that I don't use quite as often to try to maximize my battery and I would say: I have preliminary results have been I, have seen what appears to be an increase and battery life. So you know now you can enable when the power turns on trying to remember where you do that at, but you can, within this phone, tell it when you want your battery saving mode to turn on.30% is what I like okay. So if we go here to the pixel all right, what we're going to see here is not as many customizable options for sure, but let's go ahead and have a look regardless.

Okay, so here battery power saving will turn on at 30 percent. Okay, you can modify that you can do it based on your routine, as you can see there, okay turn it off when fully charged. Okay, but that's pretty much it guys. I mean it's its more stock here we're not getting a lot of customization here. Okay, it just is what it is.

I do have this adaptive battery mode on and that's the thing with this phone I do use the adaptive battery I do use the automatic brightness adjustment because of the battery life being a little less in performance here. So I do have those things now. I would imagine if you turned off the always-on display here, you could bump the battery up even more, but you know who wants to do that? I, don't want to do that, I like the always on display, but that is something that could be done now. Google does not allow you to downscale this quad HD display, and you got to remember that's hitting the battery too. They don't allow you to downscale at the 1080p to save battery you're stuck in quad HD, okay.

So there might be a thing where it's bumping the pixels down a little less on its own, but you can't do that yourself. I wish they allowed you to do that, because that would probably save a lot of battery life if you're able to set it at 1080p all the time okay, but it is what it is bottom line. Both of these phones are perfect what their batteries. You really can't go wrong either way here, guys for now guys, peace out.
