Sony Xperia XZ battery life score
The Xperia XZ is Sony’s new flagship phone: a 5.2″ Android device with a brand new ‘loop’ design, the latest Snapdragon 820 system chip under the hood and a 23-megapixel camera with improved focusing and stabilization.
All of this is great, but what about battery life?
The Sony Xperia XZ features a 2,900 mAh battery that is not easily user removable as on most modern phones. Sony made it clear that it is introducing some clever tricks to keep it healthy in the long run by preventing it from overcharging and damaging its chemistry. However what most users will be really interested in is actual battery life in daily use.
That’s why we put it through its paces in our standardized battery test that puts all phones on equal playing ground: we set their screens at 200 nits of brightness, a level comfortable for indoor use, and run a custom script that measures typical phone use with no off-screen time. So how much did the Xperia XZ score?
NO MIRACLES FROM SONY’S NEW FLAGSHIP
Don’t expect miracles: its 2,900mAh batteries scored a good, but not great 6 hours and 41 minutes, practically on par with the Samsung Galaxy S7. While not outstanding, the Xperia XZ battery still lasted longer than the one on the LG G5 and Nexus 5X, but less than the battery of the iPhone 6s.
