Better battery life
 |
In 2017, we got a surprisingly big boost in battery life on our phones. Battery life among flagships increased by 25% last year when compared to the previous one, according to our proprietary battery test.
More advanced chip manufacturing process was the main reason: the Snapdragon 835 that was found on practically all flagships for the year is built on a 10nm process that is much more power-efficient. The upcoming Snapdragon 845 will build-up on the same foundation, but we expect more marginal gains in battery life and better-optimized software from manufacturers.
After Samsung's Note 7 battery fiasco in 2016 and after Apple's #BatteryGate scandal at the end of 2017, the big phone makers will surely keep a close watch that their phones are safe and performing reliably.
