OPPO Find X8 Series Outlasts iPhone 16 Pro: A New Benchmark for Battery Life in the Android Camp?

Since the iPhone 13 Pro series adopted a variable refresh rate screen, each new iPhone Pro series has consistently held the throne of smartphone battery life champion. Android flagships across the board have strived to surpass the iPhone Pro series. However, due to limitations in battery technology, optimization focus, system platform, and device thickness, truly outdoing the iPhone Pro series in battery life has been a significant challenge.

But things seem to be changing this year. Android brands have been making strides in battery technology, with high-silicon, high-capacity batteries emerging. OPPO is a prime example of this. Recently, the OPPO Find X8 series has directly taken on the iPhone 16 Pro series in a battery life challenge.

OPPO officially compared the OPPO Find X8 with the iPhone 16 Pro, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, using a simple and straightforward continuous drama watching test. The official claim is that the OPPO Find X8 series, with a full charge, can continuously watch 36 episodes of a TV series or record 3 concerts.

The test results revealed that the iPhone 16 Pro shut down automatically after playing continuously for 22 hours and 11 minutes, failing to reach the 30-hour playback target. At the same time, the OPPO Find X8 had 14% battery remaining, the iPhone 16 Pro Max had 18%, and the OPPO Find X8 Pro had 21%.

The three remaining devices continued the test. The OPPO Find X8 lasted for 25 hours and 40 minutes, with 1% battery remaining before entering the super-power-saving screen-off state. The iPhone 16 Pro Max lasted for 27 hours and 41 minutes, automatically shutting down. The OPPO Find X8 Pro lasted for 27 hours and 57 minutes, entering the super-power-saving screen-off state at 1% battery remaining, just like the standard version.

It's worth noting that with only 1% of battery remaining, the OPPO Find X8 series could still continue playing videos. The standard version lasted for 1 hour and 9 minutes, while the Pro version lasted for 1 hour and 23 minutes.

Ultimately, the test results demonstrate that the OPPO Find X8 series has indeed surpassed the iPhone 16 Pro series in terms of battery life. The OPPO Find X8 Pro, with a full charge, can continuously watch dramas for 29 hours and 20 minutes.

The OPPO Find X8 series' ability to outlast the iPhone 16 series comes mainly from the standard-equipped new generation Glacier Battery. The biggest advantage of this battery technology is that it provides a larger capacity in the same volume, or a smaller volume with the same capacity. For example, the OPPO Find X8 Pro has a 5910mAh battery capacity, which is an 18% increase compared to the previous generation, while also being 13% thinner.

This also proves the advantage of larger batteries in various brands. By increasing the battery capacity, the demand for long battery life can be met without increasing the size. Of course, this comparison also indirectly reveals the battery performance of the iPhone 16 series. It's important to note that the battery capacity of the iPhone 16 Pro series is far smaller than that of domestic flagships. Despite the significantly smaller capacity, it can still compete with domestic flagships in battery life, which shows that iOS platform and Apple's optimization are indeed superior.

The breakthrough in battery life of the OPPO Find X8 series undoubtedly sets a new benchmark for the Android camp. With continuous advancements in battery technology and optimization techniques, surpassing the iPhone Pro series in battery life will no longer be an unattainable dream for Android flagships in the future.
