My friend was on the verge of getting a Nexus 6p (his card got rejected by newegg twice 
) before I told him about the Oneplus 3 releasing.
We are in Canada, and the N6p is going for around $550CAD on sale, and he's interested in the Oneplus 3, which is $520CAD.
For both of us, battery life is the biggest concern we have. I've read all the reviews but I still can't get a sense of how good battery life is going to be, A.Martonik was talking about SOT with "heavy", "medium" use but that could be different from me (my friend).
My friend and I are both ultra heavy users in terms of battery life. Not all the time, but when the time comes for the phone to be used extremely heavily, we don’t want to have to remember to bring a charger for that day. A typical day of “ultra heavy” usage would consist of something like 6 hours of youtube streaming and 2 hours of light gaming. We would then have about 20% battery left which would be enough for another day and a half of light use (think texting, web browsing). He obviously does not expect this phone to hit that mark, but he would like to have some in depth battery tests done to see how close it can get before he pulls the trigger.
Iv’e read threads online where they talk about how the Nexus 6p’s battery life is a bit better because of the bigger capacity, but I’m still not sure. I find web browsing WiFi tests and video playback tests at a constant brightness/constant reload cycle are a good indicator of battery life as long as the testing body does not “cheat”, eg allow the phone’s display to power off during testing to prolong the battery. Still waiting for GSMArena’s battery tests as they have one of the biggest libraries of battery tests. I think I read one review where they indicated that they could playback video (no other info about brightness, resolution etc) on the 1+3 for 14 hours 26 minutes, which is real good.
Any thoughts?
