Powerful battery lasts all day
Qualcomm has not only worked on the performance of the new chipset, but also on energy efficiency. PC Mark Battery Benchmark Work 3.0 (300 nits fixed, adaptive 120 Hz, WLAN + GPS enabled, QHD+ resolution) The smartphone lasts up to 12 hours 22 minutes before remaining capacity reaches 20%.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra, on the other hand, achieved “only” 10 hours and 48 minutes. With “light” battery mode, 11 hours and 23 minutes were possible.
