- Okay so today is gonna be part two of my
testing of the best 2017 phones.
If you haven't seen the first one, I'll leave the link
below, you can go check that out when you're done here
but essentially, I'm taking the top phones of 2017
and putting them side by side in a scientific,
not so scientific series of tests.
This one is battery life.
'Cause for this test I chose the phones that in my own
personal use, I thought would have the best
chances of winning in battery life.
So that means that actually like all of the phones
that you're gonna see in this video,
have really good battery life period.
I just wanted to see though which of these
would come out at the very top so we have
a Huewei Mate 10 Pro, a LG V30,
a OnePlus 5T, the Essential phone,
the Note 8, the Pixel 2 XL and the iPhone Ten.
Now as for the test itself, can't really do like a very
scientific like real world example because there's
just too many variables, like if I went around with
these phones all day and just see which one died
first, it would depend a lot on what happened
during my day so the only thing I could really think
to do was, do something that was consistent across
all of the phones, regardless of the operating system, etc.
They all have no sim cards in them, they're all connected
to the same gigabit wifi and they're all gonna
be streaming the same YouTube video until they die.
Now again, this isn't a very real world scenario
and if you guys have a better suggestion of a test
I could do, please let me know in the comments below,
would love to check it out.
But otherwise, that's pretty much what we got
so let's get started.
And, they're off.
So many nine cats.

And the first one to go at a still respectable eight hours
and 14 minutes is the Essential phone.
Again, all these phones have decent battery life
so I'm just trying to see which one has the best.
That's still pretty good though.
Next is the iPhone ten, followed almost immediately
by the Pixel 2 XL with nine hours and ten
and nine hours and 12 minutes.

Next we lose the OnePlus 5T,
followed by the V30
and not too much longer after that, the Note 8
and the Huawei Mate 10 Pro though still going strong
until it finally dies at 11 hours and 22 minutes,
over three hours later than the Essential.
So there we go, that was a little surprising to me.
Not the fact that the Mate 10 Pro won 'cause it's
just always felt like it had really good battery life
or nor that the Note 8 was pretty close to it.
They both have decent battery life but I was
kind of surprised that the Essential phone,
because I actually felt like that lasted a lot
longer compared to this test and then
the Pixel 2 XL as well so yeah, strange.
Anyway, experiment done, again, it's not the most
scientific so take the video with a grain of salt
but let me know what you guys thought
of this experiment in the comments below.
Also if you have any suggestions to make it better
in the future, I'm definitely open
to it and would love to hear.
I actually kind of even like doing these,
they're kind of fun and I like learning along
with you guys, what happens at the end so yeah,
let me know though if you have any suggestions,
what you thought of the video, etc.
And yeah, if you like this video, please thumbs up it
or share it, also subscribe to the channel,
if you feel inclined to do so.
All that is greatly appreciated.
And as always, regardless, thanks for watching.
