#PCMARK BENCHMARK

Thus, a protocol for phone reviews is performing benchmarks that include measuring the battery life. This is done through the benchmarking app called “PCMark” which puts mobile devices to the test. PCMark’s latest version of the battery benchmark tool, Work 3.0, runs a series of tests on the device to measure its true battery life under everyday working conditions—via simulation of web browsing, video and photo editing, writing documents, and data manipulation. The benchmarking lasts for hours intended to consume power until the battery drops at 20%, and the app will show the device’s average performance score garnered from the tests. Ranked PCMark Work 3.0 scores [table id=1817 /]   Battery Life Test (highest to lowest duration) [table id=1814 /]   Video Loop Test (highest to lowest duration) [table id=1816 /]   ASUS and Samsung phones hailed the top spots. This is kinda fishy considering that the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G ranked third with the highest benchmark score. As you may have noticed, despite these benchmark scores, each phone has varying battery life. Benchmarks like this may only provide useful points of comparison among closely matched devices, yet it is not fully indicative of how these devices will perform in real-life situations.
