We have already seen him as the protagonist of his first promotional video and we even know some of the specific functions with which its powerful camera comes with an optical zoom of up to 10x. The only thing we lacked to date was to know how well the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom and today we put it at your disposal.
Once again it's the boys of GSMarena those responsible for having faced the battery of the camera-phone of Samsung to the resistance and duration tests. Before entering the matter, let us remember that this device with an appearance that vaguely reminds us of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, it has not only a powerful zoom in its camera that also has a 16 megapixel sensor y xenon flash, but also has a 4,3 inch with 960 by 540 pixel resolution, dual-core processor ARM Cortex-A9 at 1,5 gigahertz, 1,5 gigabytes of RAM and an internal storage of 8 gigabytes.
Test results
As always when we bring you this type of test, remember that they determine how many hours the smartphone in question lasts in time of calls, surfing the internet o playing video before the battery is completely drained. Similarly, one last resistance test It will show us how many hours it will take for the device to drain the battery if we make a one-hour call every day and spend the same time surfing the Net and watching our favorite videos.
Starting with the battery life at talk time, With the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom it goes above the 15 hours and a half, a result that places him halfway between those obtained by the Samsung Galaxy S4 - just over 18 hours - and the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini - 13 hours and 10 minutes -. Something that is not too strange if we take into account that the 2.330 milliamps / hour The battery capacity of the camera-phone is also among the capacity of the other two models already mentioned.
Focusing now on how long can we surf in the Internet until the battery of our Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, the tests give a result of 8 51 hours and minutes autonomy which, without being a bad result, places it almost an hour below the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini. In this sense and if we take into account that both models have the same screen SuperAMOLED of 4,3 inches, we will have to agree that the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset of the reduced version of the Galaxy S4 is more efficient.
Finally, the battery life in continuous video playback arrives until exactly nine and a half hours. Once again this is an acceptable result on its own, but if we compare it with the more than 13 hours of life of a smaller battery such as the one in the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, we once again realize the difference that something that few people pay attention to, such as being equipped with one or the other chipset and that, in this case, translates into different video decoding hardware.
As for the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, thanks to its larger capacity battery compared to the Mini version, it is in the resistance test. In it, the camera-phone has endured 61 hours before needing to be plugged into the mains, for the 54 hours that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini endured. Remember that this test measures the total number of hours of battery life if we make a daily one-hour phone call, spend another 60 minutes a day surfing the Internet and spend the same time playing videos.
In summary, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom It has enough energy to carry out its mission with ease, which is none other than being a smartphone in which the most outstanding thing is the power and quality of its photographic section.
Clearly samsung It has created one of the smartphone cameras with the strongest autonomy in terms of battery, an issue that many of us care about.
I have it and I question this comparison .. The battery does not even reach me 2 hours of screen and 3 in conversation. I had to root it to remove all the apps from Samsung and google that I don't use because of their background activity. There is a way to make it last longer without a doubt: DO NOT USE IT, hehehe.
It is like any other Samsung, it eats the batteries which is great.
Great camera, screen quality is great too, in usability a 5.
As a very good mobile, the screen and the location of the buttons is well thought out, they are all accessible in mobile or camera mode. The flash is terrific, one of the best I've tried too.
All the best
