While the Galaxy S8+ comes with a 3500mAh battery, the iPhone 7 Plus comes with a 2900mAh battery. The former also comes with a substantially bigger 6.2-inch QHD+ AMOLED display, while the iPhone 7 Plus makes use of a 5.5-inch IPS LCD panel. In addition, the combination of Apple\u2019s tight integration between the hardware and software allow the iPhone 7 Plus to easily beat the Galaxy S8+ in battery life tests conducted by the folks over at <em>PhoneArena.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>In the test that involved loading a custom web script that replicates the power consumption of a typical real world use with the display brightness set to 200 nits, the Galaxy S8+ lasted for 8 hours while the iPhone 7 Plus lasted for 9 hours and 5 mins. While the Galaxy S8+\u2019s performance is better than the likes of the OnePlus 3T, Google Pixel XL, and even the iPhone 7, it is no match for the larger iPhone 7 Plus. Considering the handset comes with a bigger and higher resolution screen than the iPhone 7 Plus, the Galaxy S8+ score is pretty respectable. However, it is still disappointing to see an Android flagship unable to outlast the iPhone 7 Plus in terms of battery life even after six months of its release.<\/p>\n<p>So, if battery life is of utmost importance, you should probably still stick to the iPhone 7 Plus. While fast and wireless charging on the S8+ should make charging the device easier, there is no denying the fact that its battery life is shorter than the iPhone 7 Plus.<\/p>\n<p>[Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.phonearena.com\/news\/Samsung-Galaxy-S8-battery-life-test-result-is-out_id92744\">PhoneArena<\/a>]<\/p>\n<div class=\"swp-content-locator\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/img><\/img><br \/>Source link: http:\/\/www.iphonehacks.com\/2017\/04\/iphone-7-plus-beats-samsungs-new-galaxy-s8-battery-life-test.html<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung\u2019s latest flagship, the Galaxy S8+, is perhaps better than the iPhone 7 Plus in many aspects.
