The Nokia N9 has started shipping and in the near future it’ll appear in all anticipated countries. Unlike the Nokia N950, this phone is made for large-scale sales, but unfortunately, the list lacks such countries as the U.S., the UK, France and other desirable ones. Anyway, now it’s available and we can test it in different terms. GSMArena decided to test its battery, and I have to say the results are rather good.
Though the Nokia N9 is the successor of the well-known N8, it’s quite different from Nokia’s cameraphone. The difference is obvious even in terms of battery — the N8 is packed with a 1200mAh standard battery, while the N9 features a 1450mAh battery. At first sight it seems the Nokia N9’s battery mustn’t provide long life time, because N9’s screen is larger and as you know larger displays spend more energy. But it only seems so. Thanks to this test we can clearly see the Nokia N9 doesn’t yield other handsets. Moreover, it is in the second place after the iPhone 4. The test results are shown in the picture below.
For this deal geeks set some rules:
- Handset charged fully.
- Looped standard definition Xvid video.
- Brightness at 50%.
- Stopped when battery was at 10% (so it could have done a little more). They note that some phones turn off video player and don’t allow restarting. I’m not sure if N9 has this ‘feature’.
I guess you’re really impressed by the 8 hour 40 minutes video playback duration, aren’t you?
