Samsung’s Snapdragon 8cx-powered Galaxy Book S lives up to extraordinary battery life claims

[Redaktion]

One of the touted advantages of porting Windows 10 to work on the ARM64 architecture are claims of exceptional battery life. Samsung claims its new Qualcomm Snapdragon Galaxy Book S can deliver up to 25 hours of continuous video playback and our testing backs up the company's claims.

Can't you do better than this?? After reading the headline, I expected to see it lasted 25 hours at the least. But to leave LTE on makes it an apples and oranges comparison and then extrapolating data is making a big assumption, especially the way lithium Ion batteries work....and 22.5 hours is close, but definitely not 25 hours. Is Samsung a sponsor??

Firstly, Samsung is not a sponsor. Secondly, well over 20 hours of battery life is extraordinary when continuously playing back video which ever way you look at it while connected to Wi-Fi. Name another notebook that can match that and also weighs just 960 grams...
