French analytics firm DxOMark is known primarily for its photography reviews. Still, the past few years have seen the company expanding its scope of operations with the addition of new measures for screen performance and audio tests on smartphones. The company has now further extended its operational capacity to include performance evaluation of device batteries.

DxOMark has developed a new battery benchmark that provides a fair and scientific assessment of a phone’s battery based on several parameters like the charging speed, efficiency, and performance in different scenarios. The new score has enabled the French analytics company to rank smartphones based on their battery’s capabilities and performance.

The score is a culmination of several experiments and tests in a broad spectrum of everyday activities. The company carried out extensive simulations on various scenarios and evolved a scientifically sound metric that could honestly assess a phone’s battery. Up to 100 battery parameters were tested according to DxOMark, and for each device tested, the duration was up to 150 hours. Three important components were narrowed down through which the rating would be accomplished. These are battery autonomy, charging, and efficiency. These three components help the company to conceptualize a score for each battery.

The tests by DxOMark on phone batteries are indeed pervasive and offer a pretty accurate assessment of a battery. However, it would take time to produce an exhaustive list of smartphones ranked through DxOMark’s battery assessment metric.

Seventeen smartphones have been assessed in the first list unveiled by DxOMark. The Samsung Galaxy M51 comes top, followed by Wico Power U30, and the OPPO Find X3 comes third. A few other premium brands make up the list.

We expect that DxOMarks will come up with a more comprehensive list of smartphones ranked on their performance criteria.

Last month, DXOMARK did an exclusive Audio Review of the upcoming ASUS ROG Phone 5 and it topped the charts. Today, the Xiaomi Mi 10S has dethroned it for the top spot.

As per the DXOMARK Audio test, the upcoming Xiaomi Mi 10S gets an overall score of 80 which is a point more than the ASUS ROG Phone 5’s score of 79. The report says that the Mi 10 series’ 2021 addition has also outsmarted its yesteryear Mi 10 Pro(76 points).

The device reportedly performs well in both playback and recording scenarios(80 points in each category). Also, we already know that the Mi 10S, which is launching on March 10, will have speakers tuned by Harmon Kardon. And the report says that the device will have dual symmetrical speakers with the largest 0.7 mm speaker amplitude.

Talking about specs, the Xiaomi Mi 10S official renders have already revealed that the device will feature a quad-camera setup on the back with a 108MP main lens. Thanks to the previous reports, the device is likely to feature a 6.67-inch display.

And looking at the renders above, we can expect a curved AMOLED panel just like the other Mi 10 devices. The device will also feature a Snapdragon 870 chipset and will probably feature a 4,680mAh battery with 33W fast charging support, Android 11 OS out of the box.

The device will sell in Black, White, and Blue color options, and considering it has a slightly upgraded CPU and other features compared to Mi 10 5G, we can expect the pricing to be higher than the base model but not as high as the Mi 10 Pro.

Let’s wait for the full review from DXOMARK which should be live soon after the official launch.
