Lg g4 vs s6 sot

[anon(782252)]

No.

Again, there is a context involved here. If I have had the same two phones recently and have been able to compare them for battery life, finding one to be better than the other, there is a context. That context likely carries over to any other user of those two phones. That one is generally better on battery life.

If somebody is expecting to get X hours of SoT as I did, then I agree with you. They shouldn't compare in that precise way, but the idea that Phone A gave me Y more hours of battery life than Phone B, under the same circumstances, should be useful for other potential users of those phones. Esepcially if over a wider range of users a consensus starts to form.

No.

Context is irrelevant because it doesn't carry over 100% of the time. Having 2 phones in a period of time is not the same thing as having 2 phones at the same time so that they are operating under the exact same conditions.

It is highly unlikely that 2 phones at different times would have the exact same apps, brightness, cell coverage (towers could be upgraded), etc.

I have the G3 and G4, both on Sprint. There are times that in my living room one or the other will drop to 1 bar of service while the other has 3-4 bars. That's going to effect battery life to some extent and skew any head to head comparisons.

Unless you are in a lab under constant ideal conditions it is impossible to get completely accurate results.

And based on his last post, the OP was in fact talking about the smaller battery, but it seems that I'm 'to far down the path'.

Talking about the size of the battery in a discussion of battery life, as if it's a revelation (which is how it seemed you were presenting that) is just a bit too on the nose for me. I'm pretty sure we all know that a larger battery should give us better battery life than a smaller battery. Like I said earlier, pointing that out is hardly enlightening.

Beyond that, whatever.

Did I ever claim it was some enlightening idea? No I didn't. The OP clearly made a statement that screen size and battery size were his areas being addressed.

Yea there are variables but im going off the battery and screen size. The battery in the G4 is bigger than the one in the S6. The screen size on the G4 is slightly bigger than the S6. What makes me mad is how does the S6 get better battery life than the G4? Knowing that the G4 has a significantly bigger battery. The screen size can not make much of a difference where hours come into play. Obviously the S6 is more power efficient.

The screen size might not but remember the G4 screen is made by LGE and the Samsung screen is made by SEC which has different power consumption. And the other hardware might be different too depending on how good the circuit board is designed. I think Samsung and even Hyundai is more experienced in this area as Samsung and Hyundai aka Hynix makes memory as well as other ICs including hard drives which is something LG doesn't make, they do make CD/DVD/Blu-ray drives though. Screen size is only one thing but screen technology is another as the G4 uses a IPS LCD display while the Samsung I'm sure uses AMOLED. It's almost like comparing the power consumption between a 65" LED Samsung tv vs a LG 65" OLED TV, the power consumption is different. Samsung makes CPUs and while the G4 and S6 may use the same CPU, the GPU and chipset are not the same, not to mention the G4 has a MicroSD slot and for the hardware support, may consume more power based on that alone.
