10 hour web surfing time

[jdhooghe]

How? According to websites such as this: HTC One battery tests deliver the best web browsing endurance

and others, we are supposedly getting 10 hours. At the moment, I am getting about 30% per hour drop on the web. I want to make it clear that I do not expect this 10 hour usage, I just want to know where they get these numbers as no regular phone can have a 10 hour onscreen time. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity

Out of curiosity what brightness are you usually running?

I don't know many details about these kinds of battery tests, but they are almost never real world situations (with frequent app opening and closing, meaning apps being moved into and out of RAM, which takes power). Fpr example, talk time is typically measured by starting a test call and just leaving it until it runs out of battery. This means the screen is off, and there is nothing else going on. I suspect video time of almost 9 hours is achieved by just playing the web video and not disturbing the phone at all--again, meaning no swapping or opening/closing of apps.

I was at 40% screen brightness today when doing so and on wifi. What is your percentage rate drop when surfing?

B. Diddy, I was sort of thinking maybe they just leave the web browser open but even then, 10 hours? How is that even possible?

On my original Razr Maxx, I might drop about 20% over 1.5 hours on 4G with Automatic Brightness. But then again, I rarely spend continuous time simply browsing--I'm also swapping between my Facebook, Google+, and Android Central apps, opening Google Maps, etc. I suppose one of these days, I could run a test and just leave the phone on webpage that refreshes automatically, and see how long it goes for. But then I remember--I have better things to do!
