Our iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus battery life tests are done, both trail the competition

Add in the Xperia Z3 compact - a direct competitor to iphone 6 - to see the REAL contrast! ;)

P.S. - it should've just been there on the list in the first place!

Sadly Sony is retarded and released that phone only in the darkest corner of the globe. I would have bought one if it released in Canada, but unfortunately I have to wait till I get to the UK and then see if the Nexus phone doesn't destroy it.

I think Sony is now preparing for world wide availability. They've come to their senses that US has a vital role for their success in the smartphone industry.

I'm not surprised by the result. We all know that battery is not their priority. It's the price of their so called flagship phones.

Sony need to start marketing their phones too
No one knows about their phones, except people like us

Maybe their financial performance will jolt Sony execs to their senses. The loss is the result of some incredibly stupid decisions. Starting with not doing simultaneous releases everywhere. Carrier exclusives are another stupid decision.

that phone hasn't been released anywhere yet, as it has been announced just two weeks ago and it's shipping in these days.

Europe is the darkest corner of the globe?

Also, why don't you just wait a month or two? Sony Mobile Canada already said they are releasing all three Z3's into Canada before the end of the year...

Hahah nexus destroy Sony Z3? Nexus' are garbage compared to the Xperia Z2,Z3. I'll eat my cat if the nexus releases better specs than the Z3.

Considering the UK is ranked 16th in mobile ownership compared to 35th for Canada it would make sense to focus on the larger market first. It is a bit silly though that they have been ignoring the US market though.

The Z3 compact more than doubles the iPhone 6+. Now why Sony wont make it available for the masses to purchase is beyond me. I would love to have the Z3 Compact on my VZW unlimited data plan!

Z3 compact scored 14:44 hours.
ip 6 scored only 5:22 hours.
while in past sony was mostly blamed for bad battery life by fans of sammy,htc and apple by talking about so called "battery optimisations".
and now all these are way behing. Good jod SONY !!

well, you can see iPhone 6+ vs Z3 which are in the same category. Z3 offers ~50% more battery life with just with just

And they should've added at least 2 WP's! The Lumia 1520 has a remarkable batter as well.

Also, comparing the likes of the iPhone 6+ and the G3 isn't exactly fair. To beat a QHD phone by 18 minutes is tantamount to failure. Also, the Note 3 is a year old and matched it for battery life almost, this year they'll probably hit home with a ridiculous battery again with a more efficient (but higher res) screen, and then all that is left is subjective conjecture from the "its my preference based on nothing logical" crowd.

the funny thing is the difference between 5s and 6+ is just 1h30 and between 6 and 6+ is just 1h10.
i bet ifans was hoping for hours more from that 6+

For Apple and iFanboys, last year is 'innovation', outdated is 'revolutionary'.

How's that Xperia Play working out for Sony ?

You're bringing up a phone released three years ago in 2011? Good argument!

iFail

59. enthasuium (Posts: 138; Member since: 21 Nov 2013)

when you will install 8-10 apps it will get worst. Poor optimization of iOS..yes ...coz this time its a large battery that failed to deliver

67. f35hunter (Posts: 233; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)

Now the iPhone 6 is officially the biggest fail of 2014
congratulation iFans and keep buying what apple threw to you ;-)

116. gaara6775 (Posts: 738; Member since: 20 May 2014)

Still better battery life than nexus 5

122. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)

I take that you brought nexus 5 assuming my username lol. The nexus in my username has nothing to do with phones xD.
I could have got the nexus 5, but the battery life turned me off.
