Sony Xperia Z3 Compact Beats Galaxy S5, LG G3, HTC One (M8) In Battery Life Test

The Xperia Z3 with its 2,600mAh battery proved to be not just good, but quite exceptional: it easily grabbed the first place amongst all non-phablet smartphones with a battery longevity of 10 hours and 2 minutes on our test.

How do we test? We run a custom script that replicates real-life non-stop usage of a smartphone, so the result is indicative of how long the phone would last under average use when you use the phone without putting it down. In reality, of course, our phones stay idle for long periods of time and this is why the Z3 Compact will be able to run for two days off the charger under average use.

Of course, this depends on how you use the phone: Sony's official numbers show that the Z3 Compact talk time is 14 hours on 3G, then it promises 10 hours of continuous video playback, and 110 hours of continuous music playback. Most impressively, though, the handset's stand-by longevity stands at over 38 days, while other flagships like the Apple iPhone 6 Plus and Samsung Galaxy S5 clock in at just around 16 days.

to buy it in the US, you will probably need to buy it off-contract. that version will have an unlock-able bootloader. so if you dont like the sony skin, you will be able to use custom ROMs for a stock experience.
