We use PC Mark’s “Work Benchmark” in these battery tests. We start at 100% battery; Brightness and speaker volume at maximum; and Airplane mode on. The resulting “Work Battery Life” is a great representation of what a mid-to-heavy user will experience when they use the phone nonstop with display on.

We welcome contributions to the database! Use the same PC Mark test with our same settings and let us know the score and send us a screenshot. We will include it in the database as a submission with credit to you!
