Pros

  • Excellent charging time thanks to its 80W charger
  • Impressive wireless charging experience
  • An average of 6 hours and 46 minutes of autonomy recovered  after a 5-minute charge
  • Decent charge and adapter efficiency

Cons

  • Weak autonomy, with less than 2 days in moderate usage
  • Idle times overconsumed, with 4% lost on average per night (2 times the average)
  • In calibrated mode, poor autonomy when calling and music streaming
  • Poor autonomy in all  on-the-go tests
  • High residual consumption of the charger, whether or not the smartphone is plugged in and fully charged
  • Discharge currents  that are higher than average across all  use cases

The Vivo X80 Pro (Snapdragon) struggled in the autonomy tests. The idle phases consumed a lot of power, as did 3G calling, music streaming, and gaming use cases. When evaluating the device on the go, autonomy results were below average in all test cases.

However, the charging experience was excellent thanks to the 80W wired charger and the 50W wireless charger. The full charge duration was  44 minutes and 9 seconds wired, and 58 minutes and 26 seconds wireless. The charge efficiency was decent with the wired 80W charger and excellent with the wireless one. But those big chargers consumed a lot of power when the device was fully charged and still plugged in.

The efficiency, in terms of discharge currents, was low. Indeed, the discharge currents were higher than average across all use cases, especially when calling and streaming music.

Compared with Ultra-premium devices ($800+), the Vivo X80 (Snapdragon) has a global score that is slightly below average. Its autonomy and efficiency scores are below average, too, but its charging score is second best, with the best quick boost subscore so far.

How Autonomy score is composed

Autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: Stationary, On the go, and Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, the subway…) for each device

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.

How Charging score is composed

Charging is fully part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where autonomy is at a minimum, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.

Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long and how much power the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the UI, and until an actual full charge.

With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes. The chart here compares the average autonomy gain from a quick 5-minute charge.

How Efficiency score is composed

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

Charge up

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

Discharge

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.
