You do realize that any phone with OIS rattles right? The S20 rattles, the OnePlus 8 rattles, my two year old Galaxy Note 8 rattles. It's not a new thing.
Yea man every ois has got this...guess he's jealous of most of the positive features of this smartphone that he needs to add some negative 😆...dumb review on edge plus yet..
The S20 rattles too and Michael Fisher called the speakers the best on any phone in 2020 and that the camera keeps up with the other flagships. The reviews for this phone are all over the place
One thing that is incredibly important to note and I haven't seen mentioned in a single review anywhere is that the curved edge designs like this increase the durability of the glass itself by 40%. This is a pretty elementary with regards to basic physics and it seems very silly that "professional reviewers" are leaving this important detail out. Come on guys, get important details front and center!
Your review seems alot more critical then some others, everyone's experience is there own but I've definitely heard that the speakers are better then hollow and toothless, and you not liking curved screens doesn't make it specifically a bad phone or the Galaxy s7 and s8 and s9 would all also be bad phones at least imo
Came from Mr. Mobile review, the sound is said to be loud and good quality, it must be true bcoz it uses Waves audio technology...I didn't like how it's reviewed here this time...
10:43 "Everyone else used the past four years for keeping up with the best of the industry." Excuse me, who the hell are you referring to? Do you even pay attention to the mobile phone industry? HTC, LG and Sony are basically dead in the water now. Only OnePlus and Samsung, and maybe Huawei, are making it in the Android world. Google is doing its own thing without really caring about quality nor price targets, just pushing out its own stuff with its own rules.
@@franklingoodwin Name a true "flaw". Is the battery burning up the phone while charging? Finger print is INSTANT on my phone. Speakers are excellent as well as the headphone jack speakers. Don't know if there is a true flaw in it yet. Screen colors are really good not blue like my Moto Z3. Fit and finish is excellent as there is no uneven gaps anywhere. Name a flaw.
Well, he got paid by Verizon to review the Verizon-exclusive phone and still only said bad things about them. Looks like someone is pissed because he didn't watch a video praising his beloved brand.
This phone is criminally underated. I never understood it. I've had this phone since release. It's the best phone I've ever owned. Does everything I need it to do at lightning fast. The front camera placement is perfect. Still using it today and have no plans of getting rid of it. It's all nit pick.
Its a complete package that a normal costomer needs. Curved displays are definitely eye catching and 80% loved it. Headphone jack & 5 Ah battery.. Its something that every flagship phone user misses.
I would buy this phone over an iPhone and definitely over any Samsung without hesitation. I've noticed Samsung and Apple tend to pay reviewers quite nicely and thus is why their problems get swept under the rug.
Buy a phone for what it is...not for what it could be. Who's to say if software updates will improve anything. Also, Lenovo and Verizon aren't exactly known for quick software updates
Haha..this is what unpaid reviews look like! The Moto flagship is one hell of a device! Trust me! I have it and I couldn’t be happier! Way better than the S20 Ultra! A better camera..a better build quality..loud speakers..great battery (minus the charging capability)! The only thing I dislike about it is the edge display (which you’ll get used to!) Also there’s no major difference in display! The 1080p with 90 hz refresh is a delight!
Still absolutely honest review. Thanks. You have sold me on the edge, Then unsold me on the edge... Then again unsold me..... And just as you sold me again.....I unsold myself. No edge for me. You must feel like a pimp.... 😂
I have this phone and it’s solid, the only thing I don’t like is that it’s locked to 90hz due to all of those screen issues this device was having, so no you can no longer adjust it down to 60hz. BUT, they do allow you to turn off motion in settings which does help so you don’t feel “dizzy” while using the device. It’s a great device in 2022 and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody.
Props to Moto for finally making a proper flagship with killer specs... its about time. To be honest though, the phone is great except for its namesake... that edge display is outdated. Other phone makers ditched it a year ago. Also: Verizon exclusive... sigh... thats a nope for alot of us. :(
Not being water resistant is a deal breaker for me. If I drop my phone in the water it should still work , especially a 1000.00 phone. 🚣♀️🚣♀️🏄♂️🤽♂️🛀🐠🏖🏝🏞⚓💧🌊🌧🌀⛈
Worst review. You brutally bash it. That sound coming from the phone when you shake it is normal..other phones have it too. Why not try to shake your phone? 😂
Stay far away from this phone folks. I'm on my third replacement which has blooming and bleeding issues everywhere on the phone. Even the lettering there's a double vision sort of thing going on with purple behind the black lettering. Motorola used to make great phones like the Motorola Droid turbo 2. And lately they've been 0-2 in their flagship models. First a razor fold comes out screwed up and then the Motorola edge plus is having screen issues. I will be getting my fourth phone this next Tuesday and I'll leave you an update and how it does in two weeks. I can almost surely bet there will be purple blooming and bleeding issues on that one too. My Droid turbo 2 never had any of these issues. My first phone the Timeport 7382i phone was awesome. Motorola can you please come up with a Droid turbo 3 with all today's specs 120 HZ screen 865 chip etc. Please. You really need to get back to making phones right instead of pushing it fast out the door.
I still think the z2 force is best phone ever made. Once you have Moto display, shatter shield, thinnest phone. Also, the Moto z line is the Swiss army knife of cell phone. The z2 force is the best Android phone ever made.
I try to remain impartial, but I agree with others, you're doing a lot of nitpicking. I think you raised a few good points, but at least Motorola is being innovative and trying something different. I think there's more to like with this phone than you give it credit for. ps...not sure why, but it always annoys me when reviewers constantly refer to phones as "this thing". Cheers :)
So biased, but nice try! Everyone whines about the edges, but you can turn them off completely if u dont like them, what else would you want? The camera is on par with competition. The rattle is common to all phone with ois, so whats the deal? Never heard you complain in the s20 review, for example! Display is top notch, speakers are above the competition, you re the only one complaining about them. Battery life is also above competition. The only thing to complain would be the price, but it's still cheaper than some competitiors.
I have an S10 plus with edgeless display and it's pretty obsolete thanks to the phone case... It makes screen protection limited too... I like the idea of shoulder buttons on the Motorola, the specs are good... I'm not a paid, professional photographer, so I probably won't even tell the difference between cameras... ⭐Thanks to this review, I am still on the fence...🤗 It's got a headphone jack, but I rarely use that any more... Somebody push me off the fence, please...😅
Motorola just needs to release a new moto Z force! Bring back the shatterproof screen, give it a good camera, fuck the edge screen thats pointless bs, give it a good screen with a good refresh rate, keep the moto mods plug ins, keep a aux port, give it dual front speakers, good fast charge, give it close to stock OS, dont make it slim make it thicc with a beast battery plus the motomod battery = BEAST. Do all that and I will happily leave samsung and go back to Motorola!!!
The real issue here is that it's supposed to be a 5G networking phone with Verizon. Not once did my Edge Plus connect or show the 5G Icon and speed test proved at only 5.0 MBPS while my son's Iphone 11 with 5G displayed over 30.0 MBPS. Not once did I receive 5G with Verizon's Play More plan. In fact, the signal strength bars rarely hit the 3 bar mark instead it remained on only one or two bars at most. As you said, I too loved the phone display, and the camera and other equipment was ok with me, not the best but ok, but I cannot believe Verizon tells everyone they have 5G, when they do not. I live in Zion Illinois and Verizon's coverage map is all over the place, still no 5G anywhere in sight. Verizon is the worse for coverage. At the same time I tested this, I also had my Zmax Pro with me, and although it's only a 4G phone, It always has 4 to 5 bars with Tmobile. I am sending this piece of crap Edge back. And I am canceling my Verizon contract before I am screwed as I just got it yesterday. The issues are both Motorola and Verizon. If the phone is capable of 5G, then I should see it on my phone. At the same time, Verizon's coverage is Way Overly Exaggerated. BEWARE! DO not buy this phone unless its used and unlocked as motorola only has Verizon to offer.
People just don't know how to look at photos anymore. I assume the picture of the car wash was meant to show that the iPhone 11 is "better"? Anyone who's spent time with Stephen Shore would disagree. Which photo is more interesting? Computational photography creates a uniform blandness that makes me weep. Oh the humanity!
I applaud Motorola for bringing a slightly newer design to the game and introducing new gestures. Too many of todays phones are looking and acting alike. For a $1000 the cameras have to be sharp AND you have to have a IP water and dust rating.
My main concern with this handset is the only 2 years of promised support and updates when many companies are promising 3 years (or more) at this juncture. Couple that with Moto's history of being slow to address problems doesn't have me running to this device. And the curved screen is concerning, though it looks like they do have the edge (no pun intended) on the competition at mitigating waterfall edge issues. The camera, surprisingly, seems to hold its own against the fray (the iPhone 11 and Pixels withstanding). Definitely does tend to blow out backgrounds a bit (esp sky shots) and the white balance is awful, but I can find just as many issues with the Galaxies, OnePlus 8s, and LG Vs of the world. Problem is that a side loaded GCam app optimized for Moto may be hard to find (hell, even LG-stable versions fell to the wayside). All that said, it looks like they went a bit cheap on the panel. Having a V30 currently with the "grainy" subpar panel, I don't care to get, in essence, the same quality screen. I'm definitely going to go to a store at some point to check this one out before picking it up.
$1400 Samsung Ultra also rattles, sounds like ur pretty biased and just wanna complain about stuff that doesn't matter. If Samsung was still making curve screens no one would be making a big deal about it.
at 2:49, that charging light looks awesome! I'm into VR and 3d movies, I doubt this edge will make me feel much immersive. at 6:06, that minimizing the edge with a touch is also awesome. The one hand edge navigation is another one.
I bought one for 100$ and it's awesome! I love using the Ready For feature for doing multitasking! Also having the 256gb is really awesome! I think this is my favorite android phone at the moment for the price! I also checked out the S21 but at 250$ it's still to expensive and while the cameras are a bit nicer on the s21, the 6k on the Moto Edge is No Joke! 6k looks as good as the s21 and everything under 6k just looks bad in my opinion, way too sharp and grainy . Overall great phone that last me about 1 day and a half with heavy usage and gaming!
Weird review. I might be a little late to the party but I'm a non plus 2020 Motorola Edge owner and the stereo speakers are freaking amazing. iPhone 13 has a much deeper bass but other than that they are louder and the clarity of sound is amazing. Also, he talked so much about the edges and immersion. You literally turn the edges of on TH-cam and some other aps, it stays like that forever and that's it. They look freaking amazing and most of the time they do an amazing job. I also like the more realistic (not soft upgraded) photos, but that's my opinion. I don't agree with some of the stuff this guy's saying, but technically speaking he's reviewing a slightly (barely) different phone, but it's supposed to be a BETTER version of the basic Edge, so I'm confused with this review...
I think your final comment was perfect. It's not perfect but it's fascinating. I am happy with it so far. Having issues with the screen protector and how it effects sensitivity. Overall though camera is spot on. Better than the one plus 8 pro I was using for sure. Plus it came with a large update right out of the box so let's see how that effects it.
I don't remember reviewers hating on Samsung when they had curved displays. Considering that you can turn them off completely or specify what apps have it makes this a non issue. This phone has a massive battery, headphone jack, almost stock Android, great speakers, a gorgeous display, blazing fast and 5G. The biggest hangup I have are future updates to software. Moto/Verizon have been terrible in the past with updates.
It's unfortunate but it seems like it is cool to hate on Moto in the tech space. It has been happening since Lenovo took over. Motorola cannot rely on the press to sell their phones at all. Motorola and Lenovo did not get back to profitability thanks to these guys and this phone will likely sell very well on Verizon depending on how Verizon markets it. The headphone jack, battery life, performance, screen and camera will make it a very good choice for people.
I personally a fan of Motorola and this phone looks great but yet to check out the cons part of this phone. I have nexus 6 still its a great phone but with flaws such as macro shots, heating up issues, prominent screen burns and I realized Motorola struggled with macro shots for years. I hope they have solved these issues once and for all with this one.
I really don't get the downside of not having an IP rating. If it has one, it's totally legit waterrestant and blabla, but you have to pay for this rating. The manufacturer has to pay for this rating. They will charge you for it. But many many of the non IP rated phones are also tested and deliver mostly the same results. Almost everyphone is waterresistant and you'll have to make quite a few tricks to experience where it is in fact non-waterresistance. But tell me, do you really hold your phone with the bottom up in the rain? Also....drop a non water resist phone in a bucket of water, take it out, shut it down and let it dry and after a while, see how much the non ip rating affects you, besides the wait time
If you're not getting performance right at that price, then it's bad. Performance on flagships is not really an advantage over each other, they're all fast.
Here are my thoughts about the Edge+. 1. 1,000 bucks 2. Display problems 3. Only 18watt charging with a 5000mamp 🔋 4. No ip68 rating I've been a Moto fan for years but since the Lenovo takeover, they have hurt the Motorola namesake, sorry but that's my opinion! Plus why in the world you make this phone exclusive to one carrier, Verizon that will definitely hurt it's sales?
The s20 ultra also makes that sound when you shake it.... I don't know why anybody says nothing.......... So thats normal in that sensor because is huge...........
This video missed the worst thing. The OLED screen started showing purple spots and stains after 2 weeks of heavy use. DO NOT buy this phone. Owners of the phone started complaining about this in June 2020. Now it is May 2021 and it still isn't fixed. It is related to heat and tends to get worse (other problems in the future such as image retention and a part of the screen turning green). Motorola has known about this issue since at least June 2020, they have no solution to offer, and they are still selling the thing!
I am about to be on my 4th Edge Plus in 38 days. Each one has had the same issues with the display. It works great as long as I don't use it. I will never purchase a Motorola product again.
I've used only Motorola phones for almost 20 years w Verizon. I have the Moto z3 now for almost two years. I wanted to get this Edge phone this month. Now I'm not too sure. Does it offer wireless charging? Can you still take a screen shot pressing 3 fingers on screen? Can you still press anywhere on screen to take a picture? How does a case work with this phone? And a screen protector? Thank you for the review.
I feel like the non plus edge is a much better deal for half the price. 6GB of ram is still pretty good and the processor is decent enough but on top of it all you can put a 1TB micro sd in it.
It is very slippery. Mine slipped out of my hand while sitting down and fell about 24 inches. The back cracked in a number of places. Phone was only about 4 days old! Haven't even had a chance to order a case for it.
Can you make a video w/ Motorola edge+ and Samsung Galaxy s20 or other highest midrange phone same battery same chipsets then make a video battery drain test

As you said, I too loved the phone display, and the camera and other equipment was ok with me, not the best but ok, but I cannot believe Verizon tells everyone they have 5G, when they do not. I live in Zion Illinois and Verizon's coverage map is all over the place, still no 5G anywhere in sight. Verizon is the worse for coverage. At the same time I tested this, I also had my Zmax Pro with me, and although it's only a 4G phone, It always has 4 to 5 bars with Tmobile. I am sending this piece of crap Edge back. And I am canceling my Verizon contract before I am screwed as I just got it yesterday. The issues are both Motorola and Verizon. If the phone is capable of 5G, then I should see it on my phone. At the same time, Verizon's coverage is Way Overly Exaggerated. BEWARE! DO not buy this phone unless its used and unlocked as motorola only has Verizon to offer.
People just don't know how to look at photos anymore. I assume the picture of the car wash was meant to show that the iPhone 11 is "better"? Anyone who's spent time with Stephen Shore would disagree. Which photo is more interesting? Computational photography creates a uniform blandness that makes me weep. Oh the humanity!
I applaud Motorola for bringing a slightly newer design to the game and introducing new gestures. Too many of todays phones are looking and acting alike. For a $1000 the cameras have to be sharp AND you have to have a IP water and dust rating.
My main concern with this handset is the only 2 years of promised support and updates when many companies are promising 3 years (or more) at this juncture. Couple that with Moto's history of being slow to address problems doesn't have me running to this device. And the curved screen is concerning, though it looks like they do have the edge (no pun intended) on the competition at mitigating waterfall edge issues.
The camera, surprisingly, seems to hold its own against the fray (the iPhone 11 and Pixels withstanding). Definitely does tend to blow out backgrounds a bit (esp sky shots) and the white balance is awful, but I can find just as many issues with the Galaxies, OnePlus 8s, and LG Vs of the world. Problem is that a side loaded GCam app optimized for Moto may be hard to find (hell, even LG-stable versions fell to the wayside).
All that said, it looks like they went a bit cheap on the panel. Having a V30 currently with the "grainy" subpar panel, I don't care to get, in essence, the same quality screen.
I'm definitely going to go to a store at some point to check this one out before picking it up.
All OI stabilized phones rattle when shaken... this "review" is so biased.
$1400 Samsung Ultra also rattles, sounds like ur pretty biased and just wanna complain about stuff that doesn't matter. If Samsung was still making curve screens no one would be making a big deal about it.
Motorola probably didn't sponsor this review so...
at 2:49, that charging light looks awesome! I'm into VR and 3d movies, I doubt this edge will make me feel much immersive. at 6:06, that minimizing the edge with a touch is also awesome. The one hand edge navigation is another one.
Just checked the price today and at Motorola, it is on sale for $399 down $300 from their normal. What do you think?
That's the Edge. This is the Edge+
I'm glad people are finally defending Motorola!
I bought one for 100$ and it's awesome! I love using the Ready For feature for doing multitasking! Also having the 256gb is really awesome! I think this is my favorite android phone at the moment for the price! I also checked out the S21 but at 250$ it's still to expensive and while the cameras are a bit nicer on the s21, the 6k on the Moto Edge is No Joke! 6k looks as good as the s21 and everything under 6k just looks bad in my opinion, way too sharp and grainy . Overall great phone that last me about 1 day and a half with heavy usage and gaming!
Headphone jack? Hell yeah!
Weird review.
I might be a little late to the party but I'm a non plus 2020 Motorola Edge owner and the stereo speakers are freaking amazing. iPhone 13 has a much deeper bass but other than that they are louder and the clarity of sound is amazing.
Also, he talked so much about the edges and immersion. You literally turn the edges of on TH-cam and some other aps, it stays like that forever and that's it. They look freaking amazing and most of the time they do an amazing job.
I also like the more realistic (not soft upgraded) photos, but that's my opinion. I don't agree with some of the stuff this guy's saying, but technically speaking he's reviewing a slightly (barely) different phone, but it's supposed to be a BETTER version of the basic Edge, so I'm confused with this review...
Can you please adjust your distance from the camera? looks like you are going to eat the audience.
Compare moto edge plus vs oneplus 8 pro. Please
Dude, any phone with an optically stabilized camera will rattle to some extent... And I find it hard to believe that you don’t know that.
Hey the s20ultra rattle's
optical image stabilization rattles , its normal .
@@mikldude9376 Yeah this reviewer is dumb and didn't do his homework
@@FoxxMulderr true
@Tony Dinh And don't have to shake this phone if it bothers you.
@Tony Dinh what does that have to do with this phone and Motorola?
A nitpicking review
Is it my imagination, or does my S9+ also have a camera rattle? I'd never noticed until you mentioned it in this review.
All phones with OIS hardware rattle when the screen is off. Once you turn it on, the hardware won't rattle.
@@johndru I just tested it on my Note 9 (with the screen on) and it rattled.
I bet people are mentioning it because the Edge+ has a shaking gesture. This emphasizes an issue that is present in a lot of modern flagship devices.
Dear Sir, does this motorola edge plus have call recording function. Please let me know if there is any
I think your final comment was perfect. It's not perfect but it's fascinating. I am happy with it so far. Having issues with the screen protector and how it effects sensitivity. Overall though camera is spot on. Better than the one plus 8 pro I was using for sure. Plus it came with a large update right out of the box so let's see how that effects it.
Do you still have it? If so how do you feel about it now in 2022?
I don't remember reviewers hating on Samsung when they had curved displays. Considering that you can turn them off completely or specify what apps have it makes this a non issue. This phone has a massive battery, headphone jack, almost stock Android, great speakers, a gorgeous display, blazing fast and 5G. The biggest hangup I have are future updates to software. Moto/Verizon have been terrible in the past with updates.
It's unfortunate but it seems like it is cool to hate on Moto in the tech space. It has been happening since Lenovo took over. Motorola cannot rely on the press to sell their phones at all. Motorola and Lenovo did not get back to profitability thanks to these guys and this phone will likely sell very well on Verizon depending on how Verizon markets it. The headphone jack, battery life, performance, screen and camera will make it a very good choice for people.
Where can i order? This is not available in amazon japan
Mr. Mobile: The speakers are the best in any phone
Engadget: The speakers are hollow
As expected from Engadget.
Guess he didn't review properly...such a let down
As a motorola fan I can deff say this phone ain't it. :(
how is this phone going to work with cases?
How did you changed the font of moto edge plus. Please tell me 🙏
I personally a fan of Motorola and this phone looks great but yet to check out the cons part of this phone. I have nexus 6 still its a great phone but with flaws such as macro shots, heating up issues, prominent screen burns and I realized Motorola struggled with macro shots for years. I hope they have solved these issues once and for all with this one.
We Indians are waiting for that crazy moto
Also Southeast Asians ^_^
I really don't get the downside of not having an IP rating. If it has one, it's totally legit waterrestant and blabla, but you have to pay for this rating. The manufacturer has to pay for this rating. They will charge you for it. But many many of the non IP rated phones are also tested and deliver mostly the same results. Almost everyphone is waterresistant and you'll have to make quite a few tricks to experience where it is in fact non-waterresistance. But tell me, do you really hold your phone with the bottom up in the rain?
Also....drop a non water resist phone in a bucket of water, take it out, shut it down and let it dry and after a while, see how much the non ip rating affects you, besides the wait time
Should I go for this or the OnePlus 8 Pro? How long is Motorola's software support?
If you're not getting performance right at that price, then it's bad. Performance on flagships is not really an advantage over each other, they're all fast.
I liked it when you said that you need to go out there and feel this phone in your hand, to know how a big a bother this curved screen is for you.
Bro can you tell is this phone better than other phones?
I hope Engadget knows this is Motorola 1st edge screen and it's first premium cell phone in over 4 yrs. So yes it will a mixed bag...
Here are my thoughts about the Edge+.
1. 1,000 bucks
2. Display problems
3. Only 18watt charging with a 5000mamp 🔋
4. No ip68 rating
I've been a Moto fan for years but since the Lenovo takeover, they have hurt the Motorola namesake, sorry but that's my opinion! Plus why in the world you make this phone exclusive to one carrier, Verizon that will definitely hurt it's sales?
Hello Moto . Welcome back .
It's time to sue Samsung and iPhone from the game that you started.
I want a new phone for my mom. She usually listens to music and uses it to makes calls. I don’t know if this a good phone?
The s20 ultra also makes that sound when you shake it.... I don't know why anybody says nothing.......... So thats normal in that sensor because is huge...........
This video missed the worst thing. The OLED screen started showing purple spots and stains after 2 weeks of heavy use. DO NOT buy this phone. Owners of the phone started complaining about this in June 2020. Now it is May 2021 and it still isn't fixed. It is related to heat and tends to get worse (other problems in the future such as image retention and a part of the screen turning green). Motorola has known about this issue since at least June 2020, they have no solution to offer, and they are still selling the thing!
I am about to be on my 4th Edge Plus in 38 days. Each one has had the same issues with the display. It works great as long as I don't use it. I will never purchase a Motorola product again.
Who owns Engadget?
Sounds toothless? It sounds amazing, what are you talking about?
Haven't finished watching video wireless charging compatible?
what camera did u use to shot this video Bro?..🙏🏾
I've used only Motorola phones for almost 20 years w Verizon. I have the Moto z3 now for almost two years. I wanted to get this Edge phone this month. Now I'm not too sure. Does it offer wireless charging? Can you still take a screen shot pressing 3 fingers on screen? Can you still press anywhere on screen to take a picture? How does a case work with this phone? And a screen protector? Thank you for the review.
all of those questions, yes
Correction
ITS NOT 4 YEARS AGO ITS 3 YEARS AGO
I'M FUKKIN USING MOTO Z2 FOCE(3YEAR AGO SNAPDRAGON 835)
Why would they lock it with verizon? They're expensive
If you disable the screen edges in the settings does that eliminate the accidental edge touches that could make it annoying?
I would love to ask where can I buy one of these, its hard to fin one in my country,... By th way im from the Philippines
I use "real" audio devices quite often, which need headphone jacks, if I were to buy a flagship it would be this one
I'd trade my S20 in quick and fast for this phone. If it wasn't locked to Verizon.
Thanks for the review bro , helped in making my decision
I feel like the non plus edge is a much better deal for half the price. 6GB of ram is still pretty good and the processor is decent enough but on top of it all you can put a 1TB micro sd in it.
It is very slippery. Mine slipped out of my hand while sitting down and fell about 24 inches. The back cracked in a number of places. Phone was only about 4 days old! Haven't even had a chance to order a case for it.
Can you make a video w/ Motorola edge+ and Samsung Galaxy s20 or other highest midrange phone same battery same chipsets then make a video battery drain test
