Pros

Good autonomy overall with more than 2.5 days when used moderately
Good autonomy when calling and gaming
Low discharge currents when calling
Less than 1% lost per night

Cons

Long charging time at 2 hours and 44 minutes to a full charge
Low autonomy gain after a quick 5-minute charge
Weak on-the-go performances
High discharge currents when using the camera and navigation

The TCL 40R 5G lands among the top half our battery database with a very good global score.

When used moderately, the TCL 40R 5G’s battery lasted more than 2.5 days. Autonomy was very good during the typical usage scenario tests, and when evaluating the individual usages indoor. Overnight, the device lost less than 1% of power per night. However, the 40R 5G’s autonomy performance outdoors was mixed, with a below average showing when using the camera and the navigation, but an excellent one when calling.

With a small 15W charger, the TCL 40R 5G charging experience was poor. It took more than 2.5 hours to fully replenish the battery, and the autonomy recovered after a quick 5-minute charge was extremely low.

The device’s charge efficiency was also poor, with a high residual consumption of the charger itself when the device was unplugged. Discharge currents were quite low during our typical usage scenario and when calling or streaming video or music. But they were high when testing individual use cases outdoor, meaning that the device is not perfectly optimized.

Compared with devices from the same Advanced segment ($200-$399), the TCL 40R 5G ranked below average. It showed a good autonomy when testing indoor and an average efficiency score. But its charging score was among the lowest for this price range.

A robot housed in a Faraday cage performs a set of touch-based user actions during what we call our “typical usage scenario” (TUS) — making calls, video streaming, etc. — 4 hours of active use over the course of a 16-hour period, plus 8 hours of “sleep.” The robot repeats this set of actions every day until the device runs out of power.

Using a smartphone on the go takes a toll on autonomy because of extra “hidden” demands, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellphone network selection, for example. DXOMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a precisely defined set of activities while following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, the subway…) for each device

For this series of tests, the smartphone returns to the Faraday cage and our robots repeatedly perform actions linked to one specific use case (such as gaming, video streaming, etc.) at a time. Starting from an 80% charge, all devices are tested until they have expended at least 5% of their battery power.

How Charging score is composed

Charging is fully part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where autonomy is at a minimum, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The DXOMARK Battery charging score is composed of two sub-scores, (1) Full charge and (2) Quick boost.

Full charge tests assess the reliability of the battery power gauge; measure how long and how much power the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the UI, and until an actual full charge.

Power consumption and battery level during full charge

The charging curves, in wired and wireless (if available) showing the evolution of the battery level indicator as well as the power consumption in watts during the stages of charging toward full capacity.

Time to full charge

The time to full charge chart breaks down the necessary time to reach 80%, 100% and full charge.

With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), Quick boost tests measure the amount of charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes. The chart here compares the average autonomy gain from a quick 5-minute charge.

How Efficiency score is composed

The DXOMARK power efficiency score consists of two sub-scores, Charge up and Discharge rate, both of which combine data obtained during robot-based typical usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into consideration the device’s battery capacity. DXOMARK calculate the annual power consumption of the product, shown on below graph, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charge up sub-score is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to how much energy you need to fill up the battery compared to the energy that the battery can provide; the efficiency of the travel adapter when it comes to transferring power from an outlet to your phone; the residual consumption when your phone is fully charged and still plugged into the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The chart here below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.

Discharge

The discharge subscore rates the speed of a battery’s discharge during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio of a battery’s capacity divided by its autonomy. A small-capacity battery could have the same autonomy as a large-capacity battery, indicating that the device is well-optimized, with a low discharge rate.
