The Galaxy S24 Ultra might have retained the same 5,000mAh battery capacity as the Galaxy S23 Ultra from last year, but the chipset improvements, coupled with the software optimizations, would have helped Samsung’s flagship beat the competition in the latest battery drain test. One YouTuber placed four premium handsets next to each other to perform the benchmark, and even the iPhone 15 Pro Max with its 3nm A17 Pro found it difficult to overtake its newest rival in the flagship space.
New battery drain test reveals that the Galaxy S24 Ultra lasted for almost 11 hours on a single charge
A variety of social media apps were fired up to drain the batteries of each flagship, with XEETECHCARE also opening up 3DMark for good measure. Facebook and Instagram are known battery guzzlers, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra maintained the lead against the competition. It is possible that the larger vapor chamber helped keep the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 temperatures in check, while the latest One UI update reduced CPU overhead, which resulted in a more power-efficient package.

The iPhone 15 Pro Max was not far behind in the battery drain test, keeping pace with the Galaxy S24 Ultra, but its smaller battery, coupled with the lack of an effective cooling solution, might have got the better of Apple’s top-end offering as Samsung’s latest flagship made it out on top with 10 hours and 59 minutes before powering off. In second place, we have the iPhone 15 Pro Max, lasting for 10 hours and 20 minutes.
Surprisingly, the Pixel 8 Pro managed to keep pace with the competition and ended up with 10 hours on the board, whereas last year’s Galaxy S23 Ultra finished last with a time of 8 hours of 10 minutes, which is still impressive, considering that it is a year old at this point. The YouTube video did not mention if Galaxy S24 Ultra’s competition was running older batteries since consistent charge and discharge would result in wear and tear of these cells, so they would not have lasted as long as a fresh unit.
We also do not know if the Galaxy S24 Ultra or the other models were running at their default resolutions or maximum framerate, which is 120Hz, but you have to remember that we cannot consider this an elaborate battery drain test. Regardless, XEETECHCARE made the required effort and revealed that Samsung’s top-end model is the battery champ, at least in this test, though there are other comparisons that we will post later, so stay tuned.

Qualcomm and its phone partners could be working in overdrive mode to bring flagships sporting the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 much earlier to the market, with one tipster commenting that the first handset may undergo mass production by September. For the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm held its launch event in October, so it is possible that its successor could be unveiled earlier.
The performance rumors surrounding the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 indicated that Qualcomm’s first smartphone SoC boasting the company’s custom cores would be faster than Apple’s M2, but on the GPU side of things, and that too, in one benchmark. However, we now have what is allegedly the Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core belonging to the same chipset, and not only do the scores show that it runs circles around the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but its multi-threaded results compete with the M3. The AnTuTu results were also shared, so let us get into the details.
Apple’s OLED iPad Pro family will reportedly see a launch in March this year, but new information states that the company has cut back on display orders by 30 percent. It appears that for the initial batch, the Cupertino giant does not believe that the new tablets will yield the same success as previous models, and there are likely a few reasons why this is the case, which we have discussed here.
The Galaxy S24 Ultra debuted with Gorilla Glass Armor protecting the device, and the company did not make a big deal out of it as it should have. Ever since the official announcement, we have been seeing tests done to test just how good this new technology is. At first, we saw that the new Gorilla Glass Armor actually prevents a lot of reflections on the screen, improving the visibility to an excellent degree. Then, we saw the phone go through a pretty painful test where the screen was rubbed against a lot of sand, and it still managed to come out unharmed.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max might have retained the same 48MP primary sensor as the iPhone 14 Pro Max, but it made it up considerably by touting an exclusive 5x tetraprism camera. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is rumored to raise the bar yet again in the optics department, and though a tipster notes that Apple will stick with the same 48-megapixel count for the primary unit, it is said to employ a brand new sensor from Sony, along with other upgrades.
Samsung’s switch to titanium did not make the Galaxy S24 Ultra drastically lighter than the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but what it did do was make it more durable. Pair the new chassis with the latest Gorilla Glass Armor, and you have one of the strongest flagships made this year, as showcased by one YouTuber, who performed a series of drop and scratch tests on Samsung’s premiere handset.
When announcing the Galaxy S24 Ultra, Samsung talked about the new Gorilla Glass Armor, which is the new material found on the latest flagship, and Samsung talked about how it worked closely with Corning to ensure the best possible clarity on a screen.
Pre-orders of the $3,499 Apple Vision Pro commenced last week, and with three storage variants available at different pricing tiers, there were a few options that customers could choose from. Now, one analyst estimates that the AR headset was a phenomenal hit, reaching up to 180,000 units, but that does not necessarily mean that the same momentum will be carried out through the year, as several factors will determine the device's success.
