![]() ![]() Then again, the iPhone 6s Plus throws in the towel another 3 hours earlier (13:57h). The Snapdragon S7 edge is no slouch either when it comes to watching videos and calls it a day after almost 17 hours - yes, impressive, but still 3 hours less. ![]() With its 20:08h result, it stands at the all-time second spot among devices we've tested, behind the Gioniee Marathon M5 (monstrous 6,020mAh battery, midrange hardware). It would be an understatement to say that the Galaxy S7 edge excels at video playback longevity, especially the Exynos version. Difference aside, both perform noticeably better than the competition: Nexus 6P comes closest (20:50h), but the LG V10 (16:40h) and iPhone 6s Plus (15:51h) will have died long before either S7 edge pops up a warning. Moving to the individual tests, the Galaxy S7 edge is good for about 24:30 hours or 22:30 hours of 3G voice calls, Exynos 8890 and Snapdragon 820 respectively. Number two - both are as good, or better than last year's S6 edge and S6 edge+. Number one - the Exynos-version is overall more efficient and outlasts the Snapdragon variant by a few hours in all three major tests and in Endurance rating. Samsung will also sell you a fast wireless charging pad, which can fill up the battery nearly as fast as a cable will.Īfter we tested both versions, the summary goes like this. Much like the company's last-year flagships, the Galaxy S7 edge is also capable of wireless charging with pads compliant with both Qi and PMA. ![]() Samsung promises 0 to 100% in 100min for the S7 edge, and it's even more impressive just how rapidly those percentages climb from flat to 70% where charge speed starts to taper off. In light of that, even die-hard removable battery supporters like us are willing to let it slide that the S7 edge's cell is sealed.Īnd that's even before we get to the fact that it charges very quickly, even if the S7 edge only supports Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0 standard and not the latest version 3.0. It is also a substantial increase over the S6 edge's 2,600mAh, not to mention the S6 edge+, which has a 3,000mAh power pack and a larger 5.7-inch display. No matter the chipset, battery capacity of the Galaxy S7 edge is fixed at 3,600mAh - a generous amount. We later got our hands on a Snapdragon version so we got a chance to compare the two in benchmarks, and now in battery endurance. We published our in-depth review of the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge earlier this week, and it was based on the Exynos version of the smartphone. ![]()
