iPhone 7 and Google Pixel both lose to Galaxy S7 Edge in battery charge test

In a new comparison video, popular YouTuber SuperSaf TV squares off Samsung’s Galaxy S7 Edge, Google’s Pixel XL and Apple’s iPhone 7 Plus to find out which smartphone has the fastest battery charging capabilities – and the outcome might surprise you.

To avoid giving one of the devices an unfair advantage, SuperSaf uses the original chargers that ship along with each handset and puts all phones in flight mode to limit factors that could influence the results, like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Each device begins charging at one percent of remaining battery life. As the YouTuber explains, starting from a completely empty battery will give the Android phones an edge as the iPhone needs to switch on before it can begin charging.

After half an hour of charging, the S7 Edge takes the early lead with 46 percent of battery life, leaving behind the Google Pixel at 24 percent and the iPhone at 18 percent.

The test continues in a similar fashion with the S7 finishing first after approximately an hour and a half of charging. Meanwhile, the Google Pixel XL comes in second with a time of a little over two hours, leaving the lagging iPhone 7 Plus at third with a time of almost three and a half hours.
