One of the most significant specifications that tech consumers consider is the battery capacity of mobile devices. Heavy mobile gamers would indeed benefit from a juicy smartphone as their routine demands more power than the casual user does.
Thus, a protocol for phone reviews is performing benchmarks that include measuring the battery life. This is done through the benchmarking app called “PCMark” which puts mobile devices to the test. PCMark’s latest version of the battery benchmark tool, Work 3.0, runs a series of tests on the device to measure its true battery life under everyday working conditions—via simulation of web browsing, video and photo editing, writing documents, and data manipulation. The benchmarking lasts for hours intended to consume power until the battery drops at 20%, and the app will show the device’s average performance score garnered from the tests.
Having said that, we backtracked our phone reviews that underwent the Work 3.0 test from last year up to now. And we ranked them based on their output scores.

ASUS and Samsung phones hailed the top spots. Interestingly, with lower battery capacity at 4,000 mAh, the ASUS Zenfone 8 overtakes the ASUS ROG 5S Pro packing a huge 6,000 mAh battery. Although it was a thin gap to be honest, garnering 16,424 score for the former, and 16,244 for the latter. Coming in third is the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G with a score of 14,096.
On the other hand, the least performing phone is the realme narzo 50i with only a score of 4,453. Followed by OPPO phones A54 and A55 4G with scores of 5,091 and 4,682, respectively.
Meanwhile, the longest to last is the Infinix HOT 10S with 22 hours and 18 minutes of measured battery life, followed by Doogee N40 Pro lasting 21 hours and 25 minutes, and realme 8 5G got 20 hours and 31 minutes. We also have the first… to run out of juice, as realme Narzo 50i only lasted 7 hours and 10 minutes despite the 5000 mAh battery capacity. Followed by Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 5G with a much smaller 4400 mAh battery, lasting only 7 hours and 27 minutes, and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G with 3300 mAh lasting 7 hours and 49 minutes. This is kinda fishy considering that the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G ranked third with the highest benchmark score.
For the video loop test, another variant of realme Narzo 50A shines with 28 hours and 52 minutes of video loop duration, as it should, since it has a whopping 6000 mAh battery. Next on the rank is the Motorola Moto G50 5G garnering 24 hours and 15 minutes with 5000 mAh battery, and OPPO A55 4G lasting 23 hours and 35 minutes with 5000 mAh battery.
As you may have noticed, despite these benchmark scores, each phone has varying battery life. At the end of the day, it’s on the users’ end with your ‘diskarte’ on how you will keep your phones alive and healthy. Benchmarks like this may only provide useful points of comparison among closely matched devices, yet it is not fully indicative of how these devices will perform in real-life situations.

Worth noting that benchmarks involving Samsung phones are sus until further notice, they got banned recently on Geekbench since their game optimization service only provides full performance with benchmark apps, every other app gets throttled heavily.
