Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has been a big hit lately with the record-breaking number of sales! As there are two variants, let’s consider the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery between the one with SND chipset and the one with Exynos chipset.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery: Real-life comparison

We have carried out a lot of different Galaxy Note 7 battery tests with two chipset versions of the Note 7. And here comes the result! First of all, in the Endurance test, when the phone is in Always On Screen mode. The Exynos version wins with 59 hours in use. Meanwhile, the Snapdragon chipset lasts 55 hours in operation. Another test we have conducted is Talk Time test. During this test, the SND variant remains for 20 hours 48 minuites, which is 3 hours less than in the Exynos variant.

Now let’s move on to two common usages that consume lots of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery: video playing and web browsing. In the video playback test, the Exynos version wins again because it stays in use for 16 hours and 46 minutes, while the SND version remains “alive” within 15 hours and 23 minutes. Regarding the web browsing test, Galaxy Note 7 version SND 820 survives 9 hours 25 minutes. At the same time, Note 7 version Exynos keeps functioning for 11 hours and 8 minutes.

So overall, if we consider Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery with two chipset editions, the Exynos chipset is more powerful in saving the battery. For common daily usage, including one hour playing video, one hour browsing web and one hour talk time, the Exynos variant offers 90 hours! With the same usage, the SND 820 variant offers 81 hours.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery: What makes such differences?

So what’s behind these differences in the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 battery? Technically speaking, the Exynos 8890 version packs two 4-core processors, one with high clock speed and the other with low clock speed. The Exynos chipset uses the low clock speed processor for simple tasks, which is less battery consuming. On the other hand, the SND 820 version houses 4-core processor with high clock speed. So even when the task is simple, there’s only one choice!
