Test Graphics
Our testing is based on smartphone usage from 100% battery level down to Power Off. When testing Smartphones, the testing protocol includes everyday life activities, for instance, Calls, Web, Video and Music streaming, Gaming, Social networks, Picture and video capture and standby.
All testing is performed under strictly controlled test conditions and executed in a defined order and timeline.
Looking at the graph below, we can quickly identify the impact of battery life. Interestingly, we can repeat the same battery life consumption behaviour on each test run.
BATTERY EFFICIENCY
Several power-efficient smartphone processors can cope with the growing number of new applications and support high-resolution displays without compromising battery life.
Power Efficiency is calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity. This is expressed in “Leaves" and reflects a rating between 1 being the least and 5 being the most power-efficient.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 achieved an overall Power Efficiency Score of 1
Smartphone for Power Efficiency: Ranking #74
Conclusion
To conclude, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Battery Performance Score achieved was 44 which is lower than most High Tier devices. However, it does offer a full set of premium features and performance for the user.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 has the same Battery Score as the Vivo X51 (47) and performs better than the Motorola Moto Edge. But it is behind some of their main competitors’ Smartphones, such as the OPPO Find X2 Neo (47), and the OnePlus 8T (51).
