The Sony Xperia Z1 battery tests are done, here’s the score
Hmmm, if the screen lottery is still true and it looks like GSM Arena got the good display (1:1500 contrast ratio), then somehow Sony still hasn't done good battery optimization when it comes to their phones' display. The usual very impressive talk time downed by the web browsing and video playback time.

Expected lot from 3000mAh
Web browser score is so less.

hemmm... it's really interesting...
as we all know battery life could be solve with software updates.. that's not a problem.
I want to point out a few things.
first:
the X-reality engine actually uses the GPU, and not the CPU for it's analysis, so watching high quality movies will use both CPU and GPU power which will lead to greater battery consumption.
second:
video playback will improve with software updates.
third:
they haven't used the stamina mode...
p.s.
sony uses chrome, which i found heavy and hungry for resources..
as oppose samsung that uses their own browser...
maybe the chrome eats a lot of battery too..

the numbers just don't make sense to me haha.. putting talk time aside since it doesn't use the screen or any real feature enhancements..
ZR has fantastic web browsing but so so video..
ZU has blah web and respectable video..
Z1 has blah web and blah video
there's no real consistency.. its very interesting indeed. based on experience, i really think battery life will improve with software updates. but time will tell i guess.
@sponse - true they didn't use stamina mode, but they were correct to turn it off for the battery test to make it "fair" against other phones. however, for the same reason, they should have turned off x-reality, which they did not. I wonder if they'd be willing to redo the test with x-reality turned off?

I have to disagree with you that software updated will improve video playback time and browsing time.
My current phone ZL had several software updates since release but the screen on time has not changed.
I have never been able to get over 5 hours screen on time and stamina mode is always one.
The software updates greatly improved the standby time but the screen still drains the battery the most.

As soon there is something negative about sony, guess who pops by.... Dont know your reason for that but its a bit tiresome. Why didnt you post PA s benchmark test where it came out on top. Guess thats no fun for you because you seem to thrive on the endless discussions about which phone is best and how bad sony really is.

Battery life is decent if you ask me, I don't get why people call it disappointing if it lasts 2 days and 5 hours in general usage according to gsmarena.

I don't know what is the significant of the battery test when My Xperia Z can last longer than most of other smartphones. Xperia Z can last up to 24 hours with moderate to heavy use. Note: I never turn off any settings except for NFC (GPS always ON, Bluetooth always ON and communicate with my Sony smartwatch, 3G/wifi always ON).
Why do I need to care about the battery test when I don't have any problem with the battery ? and I never use powerbank.

You are absolutely right. The battery life on the ZL is actually worse than Z1 and by the end of the day still have about 30-40% battery left with medium usage. 30 pus emails a day, about 50 text, about 30 minutes web browsing and 30 min playing games with an hour of phone calls.

^ the raw numbers look disappointing when compared to others, that's all.
in real life usage, my sony phones have always outlasted any of my friends with their samsungs and iphones..
like i said, i'm not concerned at all
and with stamina mode turned on, it will last much longer with real world usage. Note to those who have never used stamina mode, but it's only "effective" once the screen is off for a few minutes. If your screen is always on or you're checking your phone every 2 minutes, it's the same as not using stamina mode at all.
