Our HMD Skyline battery life test is ready | Infinium-tech
The HMD Skyline relies on a 4,600 mAh battery, which is slightly smaller than today’s standard 5,000 mAh cell and runs on the recent and reportedly energy-efficient Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC. It also has a moderately sized 6.55-inch OLED panel.
Having said that, the Skyline exhibits sub-optimal endurance in almost all aspects. Active Users score is 10:47h And this is lower than most of its direct competitors. In fact, only the Poco F6 Pro shows a lower result, while the rest of the rivals are a few steps ahead of HMD’s new offering.
And this is not just one test, the Skyline lags behind in almost all scenarios – call time, web browsing and video playback. In gaming tests, it is mediocre.
We also compared it with Snapdragon 7s Gen 2-powered smartphones such as the Realme 13 Pro+, Realme 12 Pro+, and Edge 50 Fusion, and all three have better runtimes. But compared to some Xiaomi offerings with the same SoC such as the Poco X6 or the Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, the Skyline has slightly better endurance, despite its smaller battery pack.
Stay tuned for the full review as there is more coming for you.
