Battery Life

The Pro half-dozen Plus comes with a non-removable xiii.1 Wh (3,400 mAh at 3.85V) lithium-ion bombardment, which is slightly smaller than the xiii.nine Wh (iii,600 mAh) cell in the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, despite the Pro half dozen Plus packing a larger brandish. Luckily, Samsung's Exynos 8890 is an efficient SoC with expert power direction, and this leads to smashing battery life from this slim flagship handset.

As bombardment testing takes a long time to complete, I decided to test the Pro 6 Plus in its 'performance' mode rather than its 'balance' mode. The reason for this is I don't see anyone using the Pro half dozen Plus in the balance style considering you'll be left with crappy entry-level performance, rather than operation that matches this phone'southward high-cease price signal. Ordinarily we just test using a phone's default settings, but the Pro 6 Plus is an unusual exception here that essentially requires this setting alter for an acceptable experience.

Setting the telephone to balance manner should increment battery life at the expense of performance. However, every bit the benchmarks below reveal, the battery life in the performance mode is proficient enough that in that location'due south actually no signal switching into balance mode. If you really demand to extend battery life, yous can utilize the included battery saver mode, which is a feature of most modern smartphones.

In browsing tests, the Pro vi Plus outperforms almost flagship devices by a decent margin, although it'south worth noting hither that browser performance is reduced compared to these devices. However, matching the Milky way S7 Edge, which boasts excellent battery life, is a proficient achievement here and shows it is possible to create a beautifully slim device with decent stamina.

In other tests, peculiarly PCMark, the Pro six Plus doesn't keep upwards with the S7 Edge or the Pixel Forty, nevertheless results are still peachy and crush most other flagships. The most notable win is over the OnePlus iii across the board, which is similarly priced and is the principal competitor to the Pro six Plus.
