Pros

  • Impressive autonomy performance in both indoor and outdoor use cases
  • High adapter efficiency
  • Very low discharging current when calling, video streaming, and when in idle

Cons

  • Takes more than 1 hour and a half to fully charge the battery
  • Very little autonomy regained from a 5-minute charging boost
  • Below-average charge-up efficiency

The Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE demonstrated a much-improved battery performance in all the use cases over the previous Samsung Galaxy A14 5G.

Equipped with the same-sized 5000 mAh battery as in the previous generation, the Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE lasted for more than 3 days and 6 hours when used moderately, compared with the A14 5G’s 2 and half days.

The A15 LTE’s outdoor performances were also quite impressive, and ranked among the best devices that we have tested. In the standardized use-case tests, the autonomy showing was very impressive for calling and watching a video in 4G conditions, although the autonomy when listening to music was not as long lasting when compared with its competitors.

The Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE supports up to 25W charging, which requires more than 1 hour and 40 minutes to fully charge the device. Moreover, the device struggled to regain much autonomy in a 5-minute boost charging, yielding less than 4 hours, which ranked in  the lower half of our database.

The  Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE has a very good adapter efficiency, which is higher than 93.5%. However, the global charge-up efficiency was at 76%, which is below average. On the other hand, the device’s discharging currents were generally below or around average levels, except when listening to music, meaning that the device is well optimized.

Compared to other devices in the Essential segment (<$199),  the Samsung Galaxy A15 LTE ranked among the best devices, thanks to its excellent autonomy and great efficiency performances.

How Efficiency score is composed

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

Pros

  • Excellent indoor autonomy
  • High gain in autonomy from 5-minute boost charging
  • Fast charging time to full capacity
  • Great autonomy when watching videos, indoor calling, and playing video games

Cons

  • Below average autonomy showing when outdoor calling, taking photos and browsing social apps outdoors
  • Very high residual power drain from the wireless stand
  • Below-average charge-related efficiency

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra delivered an outstanding overall battery experience, with an impressively well-balanced performance in all subscores — autonomy, charging, and efficiency. The 8-point improvement over its predecessor, the Oppo Find X6 Pro, pushed the latest flagship to the top spot in the battery ranking, a rare achievement for an ultra-premium smartphone.

Featuring a robust 5000 mAh battery, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra achieved 67 hours and 12 minutes of autonomy under moderate use. The device also excelled in various test scenarios, including idle screen-on, video streaming, gaming, and calling.  Even though music streaming was not as impressive as the other individual use cases, the autonomy was still above average.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra reached a full charge in under 50 minutes thanks to its peak wired charging power of 100W, the same as its predecessor. However, its wireless charging, which was at a maximum power of 50W, took over 2 hours and 20 minutes to reach a full charge. Nevertheless, the device was able to regain more than 10 hours of autonomy from a quick 5-minute charging boost, placing it in the top half of our database.

The Oppo Find X7 Ultra’s charging efficiency was 78.2%, which is notably high given the 100W charger, as high-power chargers typically have lower efficiency due to higher energy consumption during charging. The device exhibited significant residual power drain in both wired and wireless modes, whether plugged in or not. This was particularly notable with wireless charging, where the  residual power drain reached nearly 6W while on the stand. Nonetheless, the device’s discharging currents were consistently low, indicating good overall optimization.

Balancing new power-demanding features while providing a satisfying user experience is often a challenge for ultra-premium smartphones. The Oppo Find X7 Ultra stands out in this segment, offering exceptional battery life and meticulous fine-tuning, making it the best in its class.

Pros

  • Great autonomy, especially in video streaming and calling
  • Accurate battery gauge; 100% displayed on screen during charging measured 97.7% of real charged capacity
  • Very high adapter efficiency, with low residual power drain from the power grid

Cons

  • Weak autonomy in outdoor while browsing social apps
  • Limited autonomy regained from 5-minute charging boost
  • Relatively high discharging currents during gaming and idling with screen off

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 battery had an overall average performance, but this version showed a much stronger performance in autonomy and efficiency than its 5G counterpart, the Redmi Note 13 5G.

Under moderate usage, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 lasted more than 56 hours, compared with the 50 1/2 hours of the 5G version. The device showed great autonomy in most outdoor use cases, except when browsing social apps. In most of the calibrated use cases, the Redmi Note 13’s autonomy was around average, while the autonomy of video streaming and calling was considerably above average.

The Redmi Note 13’s 33W charger, which comes with the device, was able to fully charge the phone in 1 hour and 12 minutes, placing it in the top half of our database. However, the charging boost performance was limited by the charger’s power; a 5-minute charge yielded only 3 hours and 44 minutes of additional autonomy.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 showed a slightly below-average performance in efficiency tests. The reason was linked to the relatively poor full-charge efficiency at 75.7%. However, the adapter of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 was relatively great, with an adapter efficiency at 92% and below-average residual power drain, whether the device was still connected or not. The discharging currents of Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 were around average, except for streaming videos, which was much lower. But discharging currents of gaming and idling were relatively higher than average.

Compared to other devices in the Essential segment (<$199), the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 ranked in the top half, thanks to its strong autonomy results.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.

Pros

  • Good autonomy in gaming
  • Low residual power drain from the adapter
  • Below-average time required to fully charge the battery

Cons

  • More than 5% power decline at night in indoor use cases
  • Inaccurate battery gauge, with 20% indicated on the screen measuring only 16.9% actual capacity
  • Weak autonomy when phone is idle and the screen is off
  • High discharging currents in general

Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G  battery’s overall score was hampered by weak performances in autonomy and efficiency, when compared to its predecessor the Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 5G.

Despite its large 5000 mAh battery, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G’s autonomy performance struggled in moderate usage, with the device lasting  50 hours and 24 minutes, which ranked the device in the bottom half of our database.  In addition, the device’s loss of  5.3% of power per night in our indoor test was relatively high compared to other devices, indicating an elevated consumption even during rest mode. Moreover, the device’s battery gauge was inaccurate. As the screen displayed 20% of power left, our experts measured actual remaining power of 16.9%.  However, autonomy was relatively decent during gaming and intense usage.

Equipped with a 33W charger, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G achieved a full charge in 1 hour 24 minutes, which was decent. However, the device was unable to regain significant autonomy in a 5-minute boost charging session, yielding less than 4 hours because of high discharging currents in the home/office test and the relatively low-powered charger.

In terms of efficiency, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G ranked below average for Charge-up efficiency and Discharge efficiency. Almost a quarter of the energy was wasted during the charging process, and the residual power drain was higher than average while the device was still connected. However, the adapter efficiency was relatively good, and the residual power drain when the device was disconnected was very low. On the other hand, the discharging current was generally higher than average, especially when idling under Wi-Fi conditions, indicating inefficient use of energy.

Compared to other devices in the Advanced segment (< $299), the Xiaomi Redmi Note 13 5G did not outperform many devices, primarily because of its poor autonomy and efficiency performances.

However, the device struggled in autonomy when watching online videos and listening to music.

The Samsung Galaxy A55 needed 1 hour and 24 minutes to be fully charged, which was relatively slow compared to other tested devices. Due to the relatively weak peak charging power of the 25W charger, the device only succeeded in regaining 3 hours and 29 minutes of autonomy from our 5-minute boost tests, ranking at the bottom half of our database.

The efficiency score of the Samsung Galaxy A55  was average. During the charging process, the charge-up efficiency was 75.7%, slightly below average. However, the adapter efficiency was 93.1%, ranking at the top of our database. The discharging currents of the Samsung Galaxy A55 were generally around average, with those for idling and gaming much smaller than average. However, the discharging current for listening to music was much higher than average.

Compared to other devices in the High-End segment ($400 – $599), the Samsung Galaxy A55 ranked in the top half of the database, thanks to its great autonomy performance.

Pros

  • Low residual power drain of the charger whether or not the device is plugged in

Cons

  • Below-average autonomy for individual use cases
  • Low  autonomy regained from a 5-minute quick charge
  • Slow charging, taking more than 2 and a half hours to fully replenish the battery

The Motorola Moto g54 5G’s global battery score ranked in the bottom half of our database after weak showings in autonomy, charging and efficiency, despite having a large 5000 mAh battery.

Under moderate usage, the Motorola Moto g54 5G provided 53 hours and 6 minutes of autonomy, which is slightly below average. In outdoor scenarios, overall autonomy performance was above average, except for browsing social apps and using navigation functions. Testing of individual use cases showed that the device struggled in most scenarios.

The Moto g54 5G ships with a 15W charger. Charging time was below average, taking 2 hours and 31 minutes to reach a full recharge. Because of the relatively low-powered charger, the device could regain only 1 hour and 42 minutes of autonomy from a 5-minute quick charge boost, positioning the device near the low end of our database.

Efficiency scores for the Motorola Moto g54 5G landed in the bottom half of our database. Overall charging efficiency was only 68.5%, indicating that 31.5% of energy was wasted during the charging process. However, the residual power drains whether the device was still connected or not were among the lowest we have tested. On the other hand, discharging currents for different use cases were generally higher than average, indicating that the device was not well optimized.

When compared with other devices in the Advanced segment ($200 – $399), the battery performance of the Moto g54 5G couldn’t outperform many of the devices in the same category because of its poor scores in autonomy, charging, and efficiency scores.

How Efficiency score is composed

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.

Pros

  • Great performance in home/office use case
  • Good autonomy when watching videos in 4G and calling
  • Low residual power drain when the device is not connected

Cons

  • Poor autonomy when watching videos in airplane mode and listening to music
  • Low autonomy regained from a 5-minute fast charge
  • Long time to a full charge, taking more than 1 hour 50 minutes
  • Overall charging efficiency is lower than 70%

The Motorola Moto g34 5G’s decent performance in autonomy wasn’t enough to lift the global score from the lower half of our database mainly because of weak performances in charging and efficiency.

Equipped with a 5000 mAh battery, the Motorola moto g34 5G provided an autonomy of 58 hours and 51 minutes when used moderately, which is an above average showing. In outdoor use cases, the overall autonomy performance was relatively modest, except for the weak showing in social apps browsing. In individual use-case testing, watching videos in airplane mode and listening to music were challenging for the device. However, the autonomy was quite commendable in calling and watching videos in 4G connections.

The battery’s charging time was below average, taking 1 hour and 52 minutes to fully replenish the battery. Due to the relatively low power charger, a 5-minute quick charge yielded only 2 hours and 15 minutes of additional autonomy, which is a bit less compared with other devices.

The efficiency score of the Motorola Moto g34 5G was in the lower half of our database. The overall charging efficiency was less than 70%, meaning that more than 30% of energy is wasted in the charging process. However, the residual power drain of the charging adapter is among the lowest that we have tested. On the other hand, the discharging currents of different use cases were generally higher than average, except for calling and watching videos under a 4G connection.

Despite the device’s good autonomy performance, the Motorola Moto g34 5G’s battery performance didn’t succeed in outperforming many other devices in the Essential segment (<$199) because of the relatively poor charging and efficiency scores.

Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.

How Charging score is composed

Charging is fully part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where autonomy is at a minimum, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.

Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long and how much power the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the UI, and until an actual full charge.

How Efficiency score is composed

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

Discharge

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.
