The battery life test was conducted by YouTube channel The Tech Chap with 6 different foldable phone models: Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (4,650mAh); OnePlus Open (4,805mAh); Honor Magic V3 (5,150mAh); Oppo Find N5 (5,600mAh); Vivo X Fold 3 Pro (5,700mAh) and Galaxy Z Fold6.

The devices were tested under the following conditions: 150 nits screen brightness, connected to Wifi and performing a series of tasks such as streaming YouTube, recording 4K video and surfing the web.

The results showed that the Z Fold6 achieved a battery life of 8 hours and 46 minutes. Despite having a significantly smaller battery than many competitors, the Z Fold6 surpassed a number of phones with larger batteries, including: OnePlus Open (7 hours and 9 minutes); Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold (7 hours and 33 minutes); Honor Magic V3 (7 hours and 43 minutes).

The remaining two foldable phones, the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and Oppo Find N5, have battery lives of 9 hours and 10 hours and 2 minutes, respectively.

Although not at the top, the Galaxy Z Fold6 still proves to be a superior performer compared to other devices with larger capacities.
