The iPhone 5 has been the center of attention here at GSMArena for a few days now. We’re busy putting it through its paces and it’s time for us to reveal the detailed battery results and see how it does against the current crop of top smartphones.
Apple have referred to the iPhone 5 as somewhat of an exception to the laws of physics by bringing more in a smaller package. When it comes to the battery, it is slightly bigger in terms of capacity and more powerful in terms of voltage, all while fitting inside a significantly thinner waistline.
The battery inside the iPhone 5 is rated 1440mAh, and provides 3.8V and 5.45Wh, compared to the 1432mAh, 3.7V, 5.3Wh of the iPhone 4S. This, coupled with the nicely optimized software, produces truly powerful results.
Talk time on the iPhone 5 was good, reaching a solid 8 hours and 42 minutes – far from the top 2 spots but pretty near the rest. We should note that the test involves talking over 3G and not LTE.

The iPhone’s Mobile Safari browser offers no Flash whatsoever and relies only on HTML5, which is far less testing on the battery life. The iPhone 5 set the new record here, only 4 minutes short of 10 solid hours. It got 40 minutes more than the Motorola RAZR MAXXX, which is an accomplishment all on its own.

And finally we get to video playback. The iPhone 5 has the 4S’s 9:24 minutes to beat and it did a whopping 10 hours and 12 minutes total. So it’s safe to say that all but the longest of flights can be tackled if you happen to have an iPhone 5 and interesting stuff to watch.

If we add all the results up it means you can talk for one hour a day, browse the web for an hour and watch an hour of video and the iPhone 5 would last around 51 hours between charges, which is a very impressive result.
When it comes to battery, the new iPhone 5 is definitely a solid step over the iPhone 4S. Retaining the same results as its predecessor would’ve been good enough considering the new more slender body of the iPhone 5, but going the extra mile and outdoing its predecessor in such a definitive fashion is a very good job indeed.
