Nokia X dual-SIM battery life test
You’ve probably noticed our in-depth review of the dual-SIM Nokia X is now live on our homepage. Now it is time to share with you the full battery benchmarks breakdown to see for yourself how the Nokia X stacks against the competition.
Nokia X is running on a very-low powered Snapdragon S4 Play chipset with a dual-core Cortex-A5 processor, but it comes with a rather modest by today’s standards 1,500 mAh battery. We didn’t expect some impressive battery performance not just because of the small battery, but also because the dual-SIM connectivity and the 4″ screen display that needs to be lit up.
Anyway, the Nokia X did start pretty well. The phone managed to last almost 12 hours of 3G calls before its battery went dead. This is close to the manufacturer’s rating of 13 hours on 2G and 10.5 hours on 3G networks.
Nokia X did quite poorly on web browsing. Its battery packed enough juice to last only 5 minutes short of 5 hours. This is far from great and the Nokia X web browser probably needs some further tweaking. During the time we spent on the review Nokia pushed two updates already for the browser, so hopefully it will get better in time.
Finally, our last test measures the battery endurance during looped video playback. Nokia X’s battery dropped down to the critical 10% after 6 hours and 10 minutes. This seems about right given the phone’s hardware and supplied battery. You’ll be able to enjoy a few movies during some long trips, though you probably won’t have much charge remaining when you arrive.
The Nokia X features dual-SIM connectivity with dual-standby support. And that probably explains why the standby performance, while not bad, isn’t among the best we’ve seen. Thus the final endurance rating means the phone won’t last more than 38 hours if you are using it for an hour of 3G calls, web browsing and video playback each day.
If you are opting for the single-SIM version of the phone, you’ll probably get a few hours more due to better standby efficiency.
