手机电池哪家强？

Aiming to make our lives easier, smartphones offer a wide variety of functions that help to simplify daily life while helping us stay connected to each other. These daily connections and simplifications have become so essential to our everyday lives that smartphones have become crucial to our very existence. Because of this, we bank on these devices to be dependable above all else, and a huge part of that dependability is reliant on battery life.

智能手机功能多样，简化了日常生活，维持着人们之间的互相联系。生活简便，联系依旧，手机成了必备之物。正因如此，我们希望手机是身边最可靠的设备，而这在很大程度上要依赖其电池寿命。

Well aware that battery life is a major selling point for any device, smartphone manufacturers now often tout how long a battery could feasibly last given its technical specifications. Despite this type of specificity, how do we know for sure that a phone’s battery will last as long as the manufacture says?

手机制造商深知电池寿命是主要卖点，因此他们经常搬出技术规范，宣传自家电池如何经得起消耗。如果不看这些技术规范，我们又如何确认手机电池待机时间能达到制造商宣传的水平呢？

Wanting to answer this question and determine which smartphone has the best battery life, we did a not-so-scientific test that pitted seven different phones against one another. We tested devices that are already known for their battery life — the LG V30, iPhone X, Essential Phone, etc. — and are fairly commonplace in today’s market. We removed the SIM card from each, connected them to the same gigabit Wi-Fi network, and played a YouTube video on loop until each phone died.

我们希望回答以上问题，确定哪种手机最禁得起消耗，因此做了一个缺乏科学性的小测试，把七种不同的手机放在一起进行比较。接受测试的手机包括LG V30、iPhoneX和Essential Phone，这些手机都以待机时间长而闻名，在今天的市场上十分常见。我们取出了SIM卡，用七部手机连接同一个无线网，循环播放同一段Youtube视频，直到电量耗尽。

Here’s the results of the test (organized by best battery life to worst):

以下为测试结果（由高到低排列）：

SmartphoneRun Time

智能手机运行时间

Huawei Mate 10 Pro11 hours and 22 minutes

华为Mate10 Pro 11小时22分钟

Samsung Note 8 11 hours and eight minutes

三星Note8 11小时8分钟

LG V30 10 hours and 58 minutes

LG V30 10小时58分钟

One Plus 5T 10小时54分钟

Google Pixel 2 XLNine hours and 12 minutes

谷歌Pixel 2 XL 9小时12分钟

iPhone XNine hours and 10 minutes

iPhoneX 9小时10分钟

Essential PhoneEight hours and 14 minutes

Essential Phone 8小时14分钟

Again, this isn’t the most scientific of tests, but it does give you an idea in regards to how long each of these phones will last in real-world circumstances. Battery life, however, shouldn’t be the be-all and end-all when deciding which smartphone to purchase. That’s not to say that battery life isn’t important, but, as this test shows, the difference in longevity for most of today’s top smartphones is relatively small.

再次强调，这个测试不是非常符合科学规范，但是对于实际情况下每种手机的电池寿命如何却可以提供参考。然而电池寿命不应成为选购手机的唯一标准。这并不是说电池寿命无关紧要，由测试可知，顶级智能手机在电池寿命方面的差距可谓微乎其微。
