See More Reviews Background Realme is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The company was founded on May 4, 2018, by Sky Li, who was former vice president of Oppo. By July 2019, Realme had successfully entered 20 markets, including China, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe. In June of 2020, Realme's global users of smartphones reached 35 million Latest Reviews If you're looking for the best smartphone on the market, battery performance is one of the key decisive aspects then ViserMark is for you. ​ Not only is ViserMark the first label that measures battery performance, translating mAh into direct battery life scores, but it is also a highly valuable marketing asset to device manufacturers and end-users. ViserMark is a benchmark to help make better-informed choices when buying a Smartphone.

At ViserMark, we have been testing devices for almost a year now. We have been following the introduction of higher refresh rate displays very carefully as this new technology is directly impacting battery life. Device manufacturers these days are looking for several ways to differentiate their devices by offering various features such as optimised battery life, enhanced cameras, 4K screens and recently high-end devices have included super-fast 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rates displays. Before we start analysing the impact let's explain what refresh rate is. What is refresh rate? What we need to understand is that smartphone displays are not static. The content in our devices appears very smooth and this is because every pixel in the display updates not randomly but at regular intervals which are known as a refresh rate. Why do refresh rates matter? A higher refresh rate will give a smoother experience when consuming certain content from your smartphone. You will get less value from steady usage content like looking at pictures, reading an article or email, during calls or even enjoying a short video. But for all usages with high screen transition, the comfort a user will experience from a higher refresh rate will be unmatched: browsing, scrolling within social apps, navigating through smartphone menus, searching for emails and gaming. In fact, high refresh rates were firstly introduced on gaming-focused smartphones (like the Razer Phone) and have progressively migrated to the premium segment, then into several more devices. After using a smartphone with a 90Hz to 120Hz refresh rate you will find it exceedingly difficult to switch back to 60Hz (the standard rate) as the quality of experience is noticeably enhanced. But this optimum performance for user experience comes with its drawbacks. Higher refresh rates require extra power, meaning a direct negative impact on battery life and performance. At ViserMark we measure this impact and aim to provide guidelines in our reviews on how to deal with this parameter. Results Analysis We have been testing two different phones: the Oppo Find X2 Pro which holds an excellent 120Hz Quad HD and the Xiaomi Mi10T Pro with one of the only LCD screens able to refresh up to 144Hz. We have selected two cases where the screen must manage a fast refresh to keep up with the following user interaction: scrolling up/down in Gmail mailbox and browsing through chrome selection of articles. Here are our findings: On Gmail browsing, we measured around 10% extra power drain when switching from 60Hz to 120Hz During Chrome browsing, we have measured up to 30% extra power drain when selecting 144Hz (Power drain during Chrome browsing: 60Hz in blue / 144 Hz in black on Redmi 10T Pro) As you know, the impact on battery life can be rather important. Although enabling a higher refresh rate will lead to shorter battery life, you can not conclude that the overall usage time will be reduced by up to 30%. Indeed, manufacturers have implemented an interesting feature to help you get the best experience with minimum impact on power drain: adaptive refresh rate. This means that the smartphone will adapt its refresh rate depending on the user activity. Furthermore, while the previous adaptive feature was switching between 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz, brand new premium displays are integrating a new adaptive algorithm. Which, can choose within a broader range of rates, from 10Hz to 120Hz, ensuring the balance between smoother experience and control of battery life. In conclusion, the latest display technologies around refresh rate are highly changing the user experience. While manufacturers are very cautious not to affect the impact on battery life, we recommend sticking to lower refresh rates for busy days where battery percentage remains key. This will ensure you prolong the battery life when you need it most. Further results will be shared in the coming months with performance on specific devices, chipsets, and Network Operators.

Preliminary Results 5G will bring lots of new technological advancements and speeder connections using a smartphone. It is well accepted in the Telecoms community that new advancements in technology like with 4G previously, will have lots of new advantages but the one area that always seems to suffer is the Battery life. This report will explore the benefits in terms of speeds and the impact on Battery performance taking into account the network set-up. Before we start you can see below a short video on 5G technology and how it compares with previous-generation technologies. An Overview of some of the key aspects of 5G can be seen in the video below: Test Automation At ViserMark using viSer test automation technology, we are in a position to assess and analyse many network and device Key Performance Indicators like: Data Performance (Web browsing, file transfer, streaming) Battery Life Network Access (Network coverage and performance) Call Services Messaging All testing was performed using with viSer in UK and France. 5G NSA and Main Challenges We have started a study several weeks ago on 5G NSA (Non-Standalone) in UK and France using the Live network in specific areas. The study will continue over the next months, but we can release some of the preliminary findings. NSA 5G is a solution where 5G is supported by the existing 4G infrastructure. We need to urge some caution at this stage to accurately measure the impact of the 5G in Battery life we have many variables that can affect the test results. Testing is performed on a Live network and therefore we are comparing a very mature technology 4G to a new technology 5G which is not yet fully comparable, but this can still give us some early indications. Before we get into the analysis of the results let us first list some of the challenges: Testing is performed on a Live network. 4G signal strength was very good -80dbm whereas 5G signal strength was weaker but still good at -99dbm. The first phase of testing has been performed on early 5G devices where the chipset technology was not fully optimised. We are expecting to see better performance with the latest chipsets and devices. We have experienced some network instability with services sometimes bouncing between 4G and 5G. Summary of First Observations and Findings: Network 5G deployments are still in the early phase. In 2021 we are expecting to see it more mainstream with further implementations. According to a GSA Report, 38 countries had 5G networks as of August 2020. The infographic below gives an overview of current deployments. Source: Statista We have noticed during our testing that performance can change a lot depending on location and operator. You may even do not see any real difference between 5G and 4G and this was a case in some test locations in France. Data Speeds Undoubtedly one of the key benefits of 5G is the data transfer either downlink or uplink speed. 5G promises device speeds around 10 times faster than 4G. From the testing, we have performed in two locations we have observed a maximum speed of around twice more than we saw on 4G. In the graph below you can see peak download throughput was 87.75 MB/s for 4G and 201 MB/s for the 5G. More interesting, the average downlink throughput is 3 times faster on 5G than on 4G. 5G speeds are continuously improving and we will be seeing even better performance as the technology matures. According to Qualcomm 5G is designed to deliver peak data rates to up to 20Gbps. So, with the data speeds, we have observed in the specific location if you want to download a 2 hour 4K film (14GB) in 4G it will take you roughly 22 minutes and 50 seconds based on the average score above. If you are looking to download the same film in 5G NSA this will take you 9 minutes 56 seconds in the 5G NSA network. When the 5G technology reaches its peak data rates the same film will be downloaded in an astonishing 6 seconds!! In the second location the testing was performed we did not achieve the same results of increased 5G performance. The performance was only marginally higher, and it can be seen by the graph below and in one instance 4G performed better. Battery Impact The download speed is very appealing for some and below we can see what the impact on the battery will be. From the testing we have performed we had just over the double increase in the data speed on 5G and this is accelerating the battery drain. The extra power drain is compensated by shorter data transfers. From the graph, we can see the 4G (Black colour) provides a more linear gradual discharge of the battery whereas 5G (Blue colour) a higher discharge rate. We can also see that Battery temperature is also impacted. The graph in Black represents the 5G NSA network whereas the graph on Blue the 4G. This clearly shows the handset has to work harder when downloading content and reaching higher speeds. These results represent some of the initial observations and our team is working on additional tests to provide you more information on different brands of devices, chipsets and Network Operators. Further results will be shared in the coming months with performance on specific devices, chipsets, and Network Operators.

Next Arrival Expected Autumn 2022 We are only just a few weeks away from the official release of the much anticipated Android 13! The final beta update was made available to the Android Apps community on the 13th of July to ensure the apps are ready for the Android upgrade. Google development cycles allow for a new Android version to be released every year. Codenames All Android versions used to come with desert-based codenames from some of the early versions like the Cupcake version 1.5 to the pie Android 9. From Android 10 Google has dropped the desert codename much to everyone’s disappointment and uses the number version instead for marketing purposes. We have listed the Android device codenames in the table below. Here is an awesome infographic for you as well. You must know some of the Android device's codenames. Take a look at our infographic to learn more. Enjoy this cheat sheet! Click on the thumbnail picture to view a large version or request your own version. We do hear through the developers still use them internally and the Android 13 internal code name is Tiramisu. We also discovered that the Android 12 code name was Snow Cone, Android 11 Red Velvet Cake and the Android 10 Quince Tart. So, what’s new on Android 13? The Android Developers site is listing several new features around privacy, notification permissions, and certain productivity features like themed icons together with some new standards update on HDR video, Bluetooth LE (That’s Low Energy), audio and MIDI 2.0 over USB. What we have selected as the Top 5 Features 1) Better Customization In the current Android version, you can choose four wallpaper colours and four basic colours, In Android 13 though you will have a choice of 16 wallpaper colours and 16 basic colours. There will be a selection of Themed icons and it is expanded to include third-party app icons. Google is encouraging more developers to create them. 2) Different Languages Support for Apps For all multilingual Android users, you will now be able to select your language on each app. Simply go to Settings > System > Languages and input and tap on App languages. If you use a different app to communicate with friends and family in a different language you can now customise your app to do so. 3) Bluetooth LE audio support The news we have been waiting for at ViserMark. Android 13 will have Bluetooth LE (Low Energy) Audio and Low Complexity Communications Codec (LC13) support. This will bring reduced power consumption, (Battery life impact) and better audio quality for wireless headphones and earbuds. Rest assured we will be testing this in our ViserMark labs to measure the impact on battery due to this change. 4) New Google Wallet The Google Wallet gets an update. It's now aiming to become your digital wallet with all your payment cards, loyalty cards, hotel keys, vaccine cards, train tickets to official IDs like driving licenses. Some countries have already implemented digital ID cards. Check out the list here All data is meant to be stored on the devices and it's not being shared with Google services. 5) Battery Measures The Android 12 has introduced some drastic battery-saving measures the so-called “PhantomProcesskiller” which is meant to kill background apps process that takes too much power. The Android 13 is implementing a new system that will alert the user in case of an app uses excessive background battery.

Battery Life Testing Report Product Experience 1.5 days of  energy with a battery capacity of 4500mAh. Ultra Powerful 5G performance driven by Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765 processor. Snapdragon™ 765 processor, Product Features and Specifications Design: Endless Edge display Camera:  Triple 64MP main camera Battery:  1.5 days of use/ 3700mAh Display: 6.7" FHD + wrapping around nearly 90 degrees both sides Size: 161.64 x 71.1 x 9.29 mm Weight: 188g Memory: 128GB and 6GB RAM Processor: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765 octa-core processor Operating System: Android 10 Success Metrics Introduction We got very interesting device from Motorola here. While few brands are trying to offer some flagship killers Motorola has introduced some flagship challengers. Basically recipe is almost the same, premium set of component with a slight difference, the choice of processor. Motorola considers that mid high end processor should deliver excellent user experience. Motorola Edge is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 instead of 865 integrated in most of flagships. Motorola is surely right here, and for mostly all daily usages this Snapdragon 765 should be very capable. Motorola has chosen a 4500 mAh to power its originally designed device and we expect this device to achieve a better performance than flagships that would give it a competitive advantage. Testing Results Motorola Edge gives capability to choose between better battery life or better fluidity switching screen refresh rate from 60Hz to 90Hz. There is also an additional settings (auto 90) offering an adaptative refresh rate, in this case Moto Edge will adapt the refresh rate depending on content to be displayed. We have executed viSerMark protocol using the different settings. Well, we have started with 90Hz and 90 Auto and in both configuration Moto Edge achieved a good score, around 180 and 1.5 Days ranking. We were expecting Moto Edge to rank 2 Days when switching to 60 Hz refresh rate. We have been very surprised to obtain a lower execution time in this configuration, almost 10 hours less in this configuration! We have confirmed this with a second run showing exactly same behaviour, surely a sw issue there. Here is below summary of our testing runs. In order to compute the official score ranking we have only selected 90Hz and 90 auto refresh rates Test Graphics First graphic below shows that choosing 90 Auto instead of 90 Hz will not highly improve battery life. Second graph shows issue detected during viSerMark execution when switching refresh rate to 60 Hz (black and green curves are set at 60 Hz, while Blue is set at 90 Hz and green at 90 Auto) Conclusion Motorola Edge achieves a reserved performance. With screen settings set on best fluidity it manages to rank a good 1.5 days, we were expecting this device to score among best performance in 60 Hz. Software issue didn’t allow us to confirm.

Flagship killer means that it brings a whole set of premium components and features in a very competitive price. Poco F2 Pro spec sheet is very impressive, bringing the top notch and 2020's most powerful chipset in this price range is indeed very interesting. What we’ll verify at ViserMark is whether Pocophone matches one's high expectation of buying a flagship phone, with the premium experience without compromising the battery life. Lets find out. Testing Results Looking at Poco F2 Pro spec sheet can already give some hints that Pocophone is willing to bring an excellent battery life to end users. Indeed, while powering snapdragon 865 which delivers the best 2020 performance Pocophone integrates a massive 4700 mAh battery which has slightly bigger capacity than most of the 2020 flagships phones. In addition to that combo Poco did a very smart choice when choosing a quite standard AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate. Pocophone didn’t choose to follow the race of higher refresh rate on Poco F2 pro and we think at ViserMark that this is a very good choice to give a leading advantage to win battery life score competition versus flagship references. Poco F2 Pro did achieve the best score among flagships and flagship killers. With a score of 240 Poco F2 Pro is competing with lower spec’d phones which is very impressive. If you are a Poco F2 Pro users you will never fear lacking of battery during 2 days, don’t restrict yourself in using the incredible performance delivered by snapdragon 865, we can confirm that in terms of battery life Poco F2 Pro gives a flagship experience. Test Graphics First of all we can notice that the 2 runs gives very similar results, less than 10 minutes difference after more than 2 days of test execution, this is very impressive. Then, while finishing second day around 20% gives you the right battery safety margin. Conclusion Pocophone F2 pro delivers flagship battery life and even more. Pocophone F2 pro brings premium spec sheet and customers can use it without any fear of lacking of power.
