Battery life of the View20 is something I knew would be good before I even had completed our battery suite run. The efficiency by the new Kirin 980 as shown in the Mate 20’s was just excellent, particularly in the LCD Mate 20. The View20 in this regard is very similar to the Mate 20: it sports a similar capacity 4000mAh battery, the same chipset, and also an LCD screen. The screen is probably the only differentiating factor between the two devices, as the RGBW panel of the Mate 20 might have a slight efficiency lead over the regular RGB panel of the View20.
In our web-browsing test, we confirm my suspicions as the View20 ends up with some excellent battery life results. Again as suggested, the Mate 20 still has a lead here in terms of absolute battery life, again likely due to its more efficient display panel.
In PCMark’s Work 2.0 battery life test with a more diverse APL and workloads, the View20 again scores absolutely excellently reaching top marks in battery life.
We have to remember that these results here are in fact performed with the performance mode enabled, and while I didn’t have time to repeat my tests for this review, running normal mode should see a slight improvement over this figures.
Overall, just excellent showings by the View20. Huawei & Honor’s absolute battery life has for the last few generations always been quite good, but sometimes it didn’t quite work out in performance. The new Kirin 980 is able to reach outstanding efficiency figures with both long battery life results all while being at the top of the performance charts. It’s rare for a device to be able to achieve this, and especially given that the View20 isn’t really priced at nearly as high as other high tier flagship phones.
