Our Meizu MX4 battery life test is complete: ties with the Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8

As one would expect, the embedded cell did not disappoint and clocked 7 hours and 25 minutes -- almost on par with the Samsung Galaxy S5 (7 hours 38 minutes), and slightly better than the HTC One M8 (7 hours 18 minutes). That said, it should be pointed out that both the S5 and the M8 have smaller batteries (2800 mAh and 2600 mAh, respectively), so one of the reasons for its comparatively lower score could be its larger, 5.4-inch screen, or, of course, poorer optimizations.

So what does that figure of 7 hours and 25 minutes actually mean? Well, in a nutshell, the average user out there will be able to squeeze out that much time out of the Meizu MX4 if he doesn't at all put it down to rest. If you think about it, this means that you can easily get two days of usage on a single charge, perhaps even more if you're conservative or make use of the built-in Power saving mode. Results are below.
