the sony xperia 1 mark iii may very well be the world's first smartphone to house a 4k
120hz display but that display drained down its battery a lot faster than the best devices from
samsung and apple in my recent battery drain test that being said 6 hours and 21 minutes is
still pretty decent battery life provided it charges faster than the xperia 1 mark
2 did which took a whopping 1 hour and 54 minutes to charge from 0 to 100
well in theory it should charge faster than its predecessor thanks to an increased charging limit
of 30 watts as opposed to 18 watts last year but the battery has been bumped up from 4000 to 4500
milliamp hours the samsung galaxy s21 ultra has a slightly smaller wattage capability of the sony
at just 25 watts but a bigger battery of 5000 milliamps while the iphone 12 pro max has the
smallest battery of the lot at 3687 milliamp hours and the smallest wattage block of just 20 watts
can the sony xperia 1 mark 3 claim a victory today over the s21 ultra and iphone 12 pro
max with its increased charging wattage this is tech neck and without further ado let's find out
before we get started it's worth checking the temperature of all devices sitting at room
temperature without currently being plugged in charge this will change as each interval passes
plugging them all into charge tapping the start button on the timer phone all the way on the right
hand side and checking the time interval at the top right hand corner which has now changed to
five minutes since we've hit that interval time we have six percent on the xperia eight percent
on the s21 ultra and seven percent on the iphone the time interval is in relation to the percentage
above each phone and below the branding of each device and i have made sure to disable all forms
of battery optimizations or battery care that is only ready on the sony and on the iphone while
the samsung i have made sure to enable fast charging after 10 minutes we have 14 on the
xperia which is trailing the s21 ultra is 15 and matching the iphone's 14 so far the coolest phone
in terms of interval and peak has been the iphone and the hottest has been the xperia
after 15 minutes we have 23 on the xperia which is once again matching the iphone to 23
but the s21 ultra is still leading the pack here with 26 though not that much quicker than the
other devices it does have a much larger battery and not necessarily the fastest wattage block
of the lodge that is indeed the xperia with 30 watts the samsung has 25 watts and the iphone
has just 20 watts though the iphone has the smallest battery after 25 minutes we have 40
on the xperia matching the iphone once again at 40 44 on the s21 ultra is still leading
the pack over here which one can pass the 50 mark first it is indeed the s21 ultra after 30 minutes
we have 51 on the samsung 48 on the sony which is now one percent ahead of the iphone 12 pro
max sitting at 47 with the iphone still being the coolest in terms of interval and peak and the sony
still being the hottest in terms of interval and peak and the peak is sitting at over 50 degrees
on the sony which is not necessarily a good thing after 45 minutes we have 68 on the sony which is
now two percent behind the iphone very strange at 70 and 73 still leaning the pack no surprise
the s21 ultra nearing that one hour mark time interval hitting that one now which one is going
to be the most ahead it is indeed the samsung no doubt there but then the iphone is still ahead of
the sony this time by three percent ahead 81 as opposed to the 78 on the sony but now the sony
was the coolest at the interval and the iphone store has the coolest peak but the samsung got
the hottest in that last interval of one hour but needless to say the samsung actually hits the 100
mock interval in first place over here in just one hour and 14 minutes it says one hour and
15 minutes over here but at the bottom of the screen a trickle to a hundred percent on one
hour and 14 and it's still pretty impressive over there though i have gotten it a bit quicker less
than an hour and 10 minutes nevertheless an hour and 60 minutes has passed 87 on the xperia 1 mark
3 as opposed to 91 on the iphone 12 pro max which is now four percent ahead of the xperia which one
is going to boost faster over here in the last remaining minutes and are they both gonna force
cool down their devices causing charging to slow down like iphone always do we're gonna expect that
from the iphone i'm not quite sure what's going to happen with the sony but i can assure you that
battery can battery health on the sony and iphone respectively have been disabled so they should be
charging at the maximum wattage right now but they are both getting a hell of a lot cooler
32.6 degrees in celsius in the last interval on the sony and 32 degrees in celsius in the last
interval on the iphone so they're both cooling down a hell of a lot the sony has now pulled ahead
here well not ahead of the iphone but narrowing the gap now 99 a piece over here still 99
after an hour and 48 minutes are in 49 minutes the sony actually beat the iphone which is impressive
but not so much since the sony has well it does have a bigger battery but it does have faster
charging and iphones are known for extremely slow charging and it only finished a minute slower than
the sony the iphone clocking out at an hour and 50 minutes as opposed to the hour and 49 minutes on
the sony but remember the sony does have a bigger battery than the iphone though it should kind of
compensate with the faster 30 watt charging capabilities third place over here the iphone
12 pro max with 1 hours and 50 minutes it does have a very tiny battery so it should definitely
charge faster than this though it took a hell of a long time to end off over there with the
20 watt block second place the xperia one mark 3 just a minute faster charging than the iphone but
it does have a much larger battery and r 49 when it's not too shabby with 30 watt charging first
place here the samsung galaxy s 21 ultra is still not exactly extremely fast charging but an hour
and 14 minutes is still pretty decent with that 5 000 milliamp hour battery and 25 watt charging
now if we take a look at the last five percent of all devices over here the samsung did it in just
eight minutes getting a million power per minute reading of the last five percent at 31.3 milliamps
and the sony did it in 18 minutes the last five percent that is getting a reading of 12.5 milliamp
hours per minute and the iphone took 26 minutes to the last five percent getting 7.1 million
power per minute reading meaning the iphone takes the longest to charge the last 5 to 10 percent
though the sony and iphone were pretty much on par in terms of time one hour 49 minutes and one
hour 50 minutes respectively the sony did have a much better milliamp per minute reading of over
41 milliamp hours per minute as opposed to just over 33 milliamp hours per minute on the iphone
since the sony has a much bigger battery than the iphone it does have faster charging as well
so you would expect the milliamp hour per minute reading to be better on the sony what is strange
here though is that the sony doesn't have a better milliampere per minute reading as opposed to the
samsung which has slower charging at 25 watts and a bigger battery at 5 000 milliamp hours and it
got a reading of 67.57 milliamp hours per minute so if you have to charge them from zero to 100
definitely go for the samsung considering it has a larger battery so it will last
longer throughout the day and charge faster at night i hope that you guys enjoyed watching this
video as much as i did making it this is technic and i'll catch you in the next one
