Nothing recently launched the Nothing Phone (1) globally. The device has been selling like hot cakes in the Indian market. So, the folks at MySmartPrice have put the smartphone to test against the best devices offered in the mid-range segment in India right now.
These Include the OnePlus Nord 2T, iQOO Neo 6, and POCO F4. The tests were carried out at the highest levels of standardization possible in order to reduce the possibility of errors on the devices. The display was kept at its maximum brightness. It’s also worth noting that the batteries in the Nothing Phone (1), Oneplus Nord 2T, iQOO Neo 6, and POCO F4 are 4,500mAh, 4,500mAh, 4,700mAh, and 4,500mAh, respectively.
The first test lasted two hours and was a video playback test. The test put the most strain on the Nothing Phone (1), which dropped from 100 percent to 79 percent charge. All others had a good 80+ percent charge left, with the iQOO Neo 6 having the most with 89 percent.
The next test looked at device performance, including Geekbench, AnTuTu, and a CPU throttling test. This test strained the POCO F4, which dropped to 57 percent battery juice, while the iQOO Neo 6 maintained the lead with 65 percent power remaining in its battery pack. The performance test was followed by a quick round of gaming, where the Nothing Phone (1) took the lead while the POCO F4 trailed in last place.
The camera test followed, and it taxed the OnePlus Nord 2T, which died after 5 hours and 38 minutes of operation. After 5 hours and 51 minutes of work, the POCO F4 came in second. The camera tests were replaced by a round of social media browsing, and it was at this point that the iQOO Neo 6, which has the largest battery capacity, ran out of juice at 6 hours and 13 minutes. The newest mid-ranger, the Nothing Phone (1), was thus the last smartphone standing for the test, lasting 7 hours and 2 minutes.
So far, it appears that the Nothing Phone (1) is the king of battery life in the mid-range segment. However, the device lags behind when it comes to fast charging. As we know, the Nothing Phone (1) has 33W fast charging, enabling the device to completely charge in 1 hour and 17 minutes. While the Nord 2T, which features 80W fast charging takes just 32 mins to fully charge from 0 percent.
