So, when OPPO sent out their new Fine N6, giving us early access to this folding phone, they specifically asked us if we could test the battery life in our lab. Since while there are a lot of things that OPPO is touting with this phone, like how thin it is and like the nearly invisible crease, which surprisingly stays nearly invisible even after opening and closing it a few times. I think one of the things that they're most proud of is the battery life with it not only having the allnew Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip, but it also has a giant battery in it at a whopping 6,000 miamp. So, today we're going to be testing it against two of the most popular folding phones out

there in the Galaxy ZFold 7 and Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold to see just how much of a difference the new chip plus the extra,000 mAh of battery actually makes. But before we do, quick disclosure. We partnered up with Oppo on this video and they received a test report. However, they didn't have a say in our testing methodology, nor did they get to see this video or what I'm saying in it before publishing. So, with that out of the way, let's get right into it. All right, we'll kick things off like we always do, going on the same 1-hour call on each device where 60 minutes later the Pixel drops to just 98, the Galaxy dropped to 97, while the Oppo is still reporting 100%. Now, it's literally

impossible that the Oppo didn't use at least some of its battery in that phone test. So, more than likely, it was just rounding up, but we should get a better idea here in messaging. It's worth noting that we're testing them closed in this messaging test since that's how we imagine most people text on their foldables with us calibrating each display to the same 200 nits of brightness. The phones do have different screen sizes and resolutions though with the Oppo technically having the highest of both. But after an hour, that didn't really seem to hurt it with it only dropping by four points compared to the fivepoint drop on the Pixel and the six point drop on the Fold 7. In this email

test, we've unfolded the devices now where each has this massive screen to power where again the Oppo screen is still a little bit bigger than the other two while also having a slightly higher resolution which you know in theory should give it a disadvantage. But then again, its battery is significantly bigger. And another hour in and it's kind of the same result that we saw last time with the Fine N6 doing the best, the Pixel being only one point behind it with the Galaxy falling a bit further behind. But we still have a lot of testing to go. And now that we're in the browser, we finally have a test that will actually tax the chipsets a bit where not only do we have each phone

randomly cycling through the same set of websites, but we're also scrolling through the web pages. And this is where I anticipate the biggest advantage for the N6 since it does have the newest chipset where after an hour it definitely seems like it was the most efficient with the finance 6 using an estimated 420 mAh of its battery compared to 484 mAh on the ZFold and 501 mAh on the Pixel. So at the very least it seems like those Snapdragon chips are still a bit ahead of the tensor in terms of efficiency. Here in Instagram, we're just scrolling through the home feed like you would in real life. And in an attempt to better control this Instagram feed, we have the speakers on each phone

muted so that way random videos won't tax one phone more than another where after an hour, all right, this time we get a slightly different result. The Oppo still did one point better than the other two, but the Fold 7 was actually the most efficient here with it having the lowest estimated milliamp usage. So, an interesting result. We'll see if the Fold 7 can continue that here in standby where unlike in previous tests, the displays aren't a factor with it really coming down to the chipset's efficiency, how deep of a sleep state each phone goes into, and of course, their overall battery capacities where after 16 long hours, the Galaxy does it again with it actually matching the six point drop on

the Oppo despite having a significantly smaller battery, which with the Pixel also doing three points worse than it opens the door for the Galaxy to make a comeback. back on the Pixel with it now just one point behind. Now, here in YouTube, it's worth noting that in addition to calibrating the screens to the same level of brightness, we also calibrate the speakers to their nearest decibel count. I think this YouTube test is arguably one of the more important ones, at least when it comes to folding phones, since this is one of the big advantages of having such a big screen where after 60 minutes of binge watching some phone buff, this time it's an opposite result. Both the Pixel and the

Oppo only dropped by 10 points while the Fold 7 gets hit with a 13 point drop. So, at least for now, the Pixel has reestablished its clear position in second, while the Oppo is still standing strong in first. Now, in this gaming test, we're not playing the most demanding game out there, but it still is a game, and we are playing it constantly for the entire hour with the speakers still active, where 60 minutes of gaming later, it's the same result with the Galaxy dropping by 13 points once again, compared to the 10point drop on both the Finance 6 and the Pixel Fold. As we head into maps, we have some clear separation between the phones. The Finance 6 still has over 50% of its battery remaining with it now double

digits ahead of the Pixel with an 11-point lead, which itself has a seven-point lead over the Galaxy. And 1 hour of simulating navigation later, the Vance 6 only pulls further ahead, while the Galaxy this time manages to do one point better than the Pixel. But here in Spotify, I don't know if that's going to happen again since we're actively listening to music on each phone using those speakers where, as we saw in some of the previous tests, it just seems like anytime you do anything with the speaker on the Galaxy, it just takes a bigger hit. And 1 hour later, that's exactly what we see. A 9-point drop on Find 6, only a 10point drop on the Pixel, and a 12point drop on the Galaxy.

Now, this Snapchat test is by far the most intensive in the lineup since not only are we using that front-facing camera, but we're also using the microphone, the speakers, and even the Wi-Fi chip as we upload each clip to Snap's servers where just 52 minutes into it, that 15% that the Galaxy started with fully depletes. At which point, the Pixel still has 11% left to go, while the OPPO is over double that at 28%. which for both phones is enough to get them all the way through Snapchat and on to Appcycle. So, for years now, I've been saying that any phone that can make it to Appcycle has solid battery life. And the fact that we have two folding phones make it this far is honestly pretty awesome. But, of course, we

always want more. So, here we're just opening and closing the same set of apps in a loop to see how far these things could go. where 40 minutes into it, the Pixel Fold finally gives out, at which point the finance 6 still has 17% remaining. So there you have it. A 17 point advantage for the Oppo over the Pixel and a 28 point advantage for the Oppo over the Galaxy, which helps it not only pass that 1 hour mark in app cycle, but it goes on for 1 hour and 46 minutes before entering this ultra low power saving mode that we couldn't exit. So, at least officially, this is its total time. But of course, the phone isn't fully dead yet. There's still 1% remaining. And while this won't count

towards its official time since it's no longer in app cycle, for those of you who are curious, it does last another 18 minutes while scrolling Instagram before really dying. So, pretty nuts. Okay, so with all three phones fully depleted, the last question that remains in terms of battery life is how fast do they charge back up? And after running a 30inut charge test at their highest rated speeds, the Finance 6 gets up to 55%, the Galaxy Fold finishes in second at 51% while the Pixel Fold is in third at 49%. So really not the biggest difference in terms of percentage, but obviously we're talking about different sized batteries. So overall, I would say it's actually a more impressive result from the Finance

6 and the Pixel on that front as well. But anyways, that is it for me in this video. Big thanks to Oppo for giving us early access to this phone and partnering with us. Thank you guys for watching and as always, I'll see you in the very next episode.
