Iphone SE Battery life

[achiquitachaser]

The stamina of the iPhone SE is definitely ridiculous, I almost think it's better then the 6s plus

Unexpected battery drops might be connected to the SoC that is used in the iPhone SE (remember ChipGate?). Under heavy load, Samsung chips drain the battery faster.
Samsung manufactures the S8000 in the N69uAP model, the part number listed on the SoC is APL0898.
TSMC manufactures the S8003 in the N69AP model, the part number listed on the SoC is APL1022.

Apple?s A9 SoC Is Dual Sourced From Samsung & TSMC

I got my SE four days ago and was not really impressed with the battery life with the Samsung SoC under heavy usage.
Lucky me, I was able to get another SE from eBay which was only one day old but had the TSMC SoC.

So I went to do some GeekBench3 battery tests. Surprise, surprise (or maybe not so).. TSMC doesn't strain the battery like Samsung does. We can pretty much say that the "u" in N69uAP stands for "under performing". Testing was done three times on both phones. Both phones got their system restored completely through iTunes and loaded with the same iCloud backup prior of testing. Both phones had no SIM card and were not connected to WiFi during the tests. No apps other than GeekBench3 itself were running during the tests. Screen dimming option of GeekBench3 was used.

These are the results:

Sorry for double posting. I made a new thread in Ask questions section. I posting this here too. I thing the phone has awful battery life. I was expecting much more, because all my friends told me that this phone has really solid battery life. Slso it is heating on the back near the apple logo. I have warranty but i want to tell me is it normal.

I am posting pics. For the past few 15 minutes the battery dropped with 6 %

Is this battery usage time normal or less than what is expected of the device?

Currently running on 10.1 if that matters.

Bought my SE about 2 months ago. Exceptional battery life. I'm gonna hold on to this phone for quite a long time

That's very impressive!
I'm a heavy user that no phone will last more than 4-5 hours usage time with me

Wow WTH do you do?

 

[Spirit Vision Photography]

is it really that noticeable? would you say that it downgraded by one hour from your normal usage? or is it less (i hope)

No difference on my end. Battery charges are holding up very well.

Email, texting, listening to music, Tapatalk, and games

Ok, games explains it. I do everything else and never have any battery life even half that bad.

Yep! Mainly Clash of Clans.
It’ll last at least a day if I don’t play any games throughout that particular day.
