Hi, Smartviser test android phone with the same protocol with iPhone phone ?

You could update the battery tests for some phones that had unrealistically low battery life, despite being a 'carbon copy' of a different phone that got a completely different result.

Will the app itself be a background battery hog, so much that it can noticeably alter the end results of all tests onwards??
Perhaps you can do a before-after comparison to double check on that.

Hopefully you will find some app to test camera battery endurance also. Like how many shots it takes without hiccup or overall, how long it can record 4K as one file or per battery. With camera being main feature, it should be tested same as for wifi/calls/video.

Please try to simulate the following
- driving with google maps navigation
- paired bluetooth radio
- listening to spotify via LTE and bluetooth
- starting with 20% Battery, trying to charge up
most phones get so hot, charging stops entirely of like the sony z5 compact, get a lag/stuttering in navigation and sound. This is an absolute No-Go due to delayed navigation information (like 1km late on a highway). The only way to make this phone usable was active cooling via dangling it in front of an air outlet set to cold.

Akinaro, 26 Feb 2018As far as I understand concept of unifying battery testing... those data will be fake as any b... moreyou do need to understand it's a unified test. One hour of Talking, ome hour of Video Playback and one hour of web browsing PER DAY without doing anything else. running from full battery, to completely flat.
there is somewhere a costum tester that allows you to use THESE parameters with different times.

Great that you improve yours method on battery life.
For me, battery life is an essential information !

I think it is highly mandatory to reproduce some of the recently tested battery results using the new automated technique.

Thanks team gsmarena, keep innovate.
The best team on mobile review, hopefully there is battery review after used in flagship for a year to prove which manufacture provide the durability battery since all flagship use noremoveable battery.

Why dont you publish the app on play store it will help users with older devices get idea on how much their battery last after all these years of use and if there is some problem with your review unit user with same unit can correct you easier
