Nexus 10 multiple battery test results

[Tyler Lietz]

Ok some people been wondering about battery life in real life situations so i thought i'd do alot of test. First test: Playing Dead Trigger for 10 minutes at maximum graphics, exactly half brightness, max volume (truly playing) i got 2% battery drain. Second test: Dead Trigger for 10 minutes at maximum brightness (2 test) I got 4% drain and once 5%. 3rd test: A Bards Tale for 10 minutes maximum everything in settings at half brightness I got 2% drain. 4th test: same max settings but with maximum brightness for 10 minutes i got 4% drain. 5th test: Netflix HD episode at half brightness for 10 minutes I got 3% could have maybe got 2%. Only background stuff i have active is Facebook IM app which only uses like 20mb ram and facebook. My home screen consist of 9 Widgets and one stock live wallpaper. Though i dont think it affects the results if I don't start the test at my home screen. Judging by those results you should get exactly 8 of non stop use at half brightness and 4 hours at maximum brightness. I found the browser actually use the most power but can't test with consistency. For those experiencing more drain than above remember that bottom right button isn't recent apps. Its active task that you have running plus there are background activities of apps like notifications. Also be aware new tablet owners, It takes a week for you to break in your tablets battery so until then you will get less than satisfying results. I only had mine for 3 days and the first day my battery life was so horrible that I called google. The second day I truely broke mine in when i used AnTuTu battery test which cranked up my brightness and cpu to 100% for several hours. Only got a score of 536 but that was only the breaking in score.
