But this only kicks in during certain scenarios, such as when you're streaming music with the screen turned off. When you're not surfing the web, the iPhone 12's Smart Data mode can automatically switch to 4G to help save battery life. But this test does give us a way to compare endurance across multiple phones, even if it is a taxing test. ![]() And we know that no one is going to surf the web for 10 or 11 hours straight. Of course, our web surfing test is just one way to measure battery life. The Galaxy S20 Ultra with its much bigger 5,000 mAh battery endured for 12 hours and 3 minutes, which fell to 9:13 in 120Hz display mode. That beats the iPhone 12 Pro by nearly two hours. The iPhone 12 Pro Max's 3,687 mAh battery lasted a very impressive 10 hours and 53 minutes over 5G. To be fair, the Galaxy S20 Plus has a larger 4,500 mAh battery, while the iPhone 12 Pro is rated for 2,815 mAh. The runtime of Samsung's phone dropped to 8:55 at 120Hz, which is slightly worse than the iPhone 12 Pro over 5G. The similarly priced Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus lasted 10:31 over 5G, which is nearly 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone 12 Pro. ![]() The iPhone 12 Pro fared a bit better, lasting 9 hours and 6 minutes minutes over T-Mobile's 5G network. Both of those times are well ahead of the iPhone 12's 8:25 result over 5G. Google's Pixel 5 was nearly an hour better than the iPhone 12 at 9:56 it dropped to 9:29 with the screen set to a faster 90Hz refresh rate. For example, the Samsung Galaxy S20 lasted 9:31 on 5G but that dipped down to 8:04 at 120Hz. ![]() Samsung's Galaxy phones generally last longer on a charge over 5G, though they lose a lot of juice when their screens are set to the faster 120Hz refresh rate. To compare, we switched the iPhone 12 to 4G-only, and it endured for 10 hours and 23 minutes. Last year's iPhone 11 lasted a whopping 11 hours and 16 minutes over 4G. The regular iPhone 12 lasted just 8 hours and 25 minutes over AT&T's 5G network. However, we conducted that test over 4G, which uses less power. The iPhone SE 2020 lasted a considerably longer 9:18 with an even smaller 1,821 mAh battery. The iPhone 12 mini has a small 2,227 mAh battery, so it's not a big surprise that this phone lasted only 7 hours and 28 minutes on our web surfing battery over 5G.
