The Oppo Find The 8-point improvement over its predecessor, the Oppo Find X6 Pro, pushed the latest flagship to first place in the battery rankings, a rare achievement for an ultra-premium smartphone.
Equipped with a robust 5000 mAh battery, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra achieved 67 hours and 12 minutes of battery life under moderate use. The device also excelled in various test scenarios, including idle screen, video streaming, gaming, and calls. While music streaming wasn’t as impressive as the other individual use cases, the battery life is still above average.
The Oppo Find However, wireless charging, which reached a maximum output of 50W, took more than 2 hours and 20 minutes to reach a full charge. However, the device managed to regain more than 10 hours of battery life with a 5-minute quick charge, placing it in the top half of our database.
The charging efficiency of the Oppo Find while charging. The device showed significant residual power consumption in both wired and wireless modes, plugged in or not. This was especially noticeable with wireless charging, where residual power consumption reached nearly 6W while on the stand. Nonetheless, the device’s discharge currents remained consistently low, indicating good overall optimization.
Balancing new power-hungry features while providing a satisfying user experience is often a challenge for ultra-premium smartphones. The Oppo Find X7 Ultra stands out in this segment, offering exceptional battery life and meticulous tuning, making it the best in its class.

How the autonomy score is composed
The battery life score is made up of three performance subscores: Home/Office, On the Go, and Calibrated Use Cases. Each subscore includes the results of a full range of tests to measure battery life in all types of real-life scenarios.

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

Using a smartphone on the move puts a strain on battery life due to additional “hidden” needs, such as the continuous signaling associated with cellular network selection. SBMARK Battery experts take the phone outdoors and perform a series of well-defined activities following the same three-hour travel itinerary (walking, taking the bus, subway…) for each device

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

How the charging score is made up
Charging is a full part of the overall battery experience. In some situations where battery life is at its lowest, knowing how fast you can charge becomes a concern. The SBMARK Battery Charging Score is made up of two sub-scores, (1) Full Charge and (2) Quick Boost.
Full charge

Full charge tests evaluate the reliability of the battery charge indicator; measure how long and how much energy the battery takes to charge from zero to 80% capacity, from 80 to 100% as shown by the user interface, and until actually fully charged.
The charging curves, in wired and wireless mode (if available) show the evolution of the battery level indicator as well as the energy consumption in watts during the charging phases towards full capacity.

With the phone at different charge levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%), the Quick Boost tests measure how much charge the battery receives after being plugged in for 5 minutes. The graph here compares the average battery life gain with a 5 minute fast charge.

How the efficiency score is composed
The SBMARK Energy Efficiency Score is composed of two sub-scores, charging speed and discharging speed, which combine both data obtained during a typical robot-based usage scenario, calibrated tests and charging evaluation, taking into account battery capacity of the device. SBMARK calculates the annual energy consumption of the product, shown in the graph below, which is representative of the overall efficiency during a charge and when in use.

The charging subscore is a combination of four factors: the overall efficiency of a full charge, related to the amount of energy needed to fill the battery compared to the energy 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 the phone is fully charged and still connected to the charger; and the residual consumption of the charger itself, when the smartphone is disconnected from it. The graph below shows the overall efficiency of a full charge in %.
Discharge

The discharge subscore evaluates how quickly a battery discharges during a test, which is independent of the battery’s capacity. It is the ratio between the capacity of a battery divided by its autonomy. A small capacity battery may have the same battery life as a large capacity battery, indicating that the device is well optimized, with a low discharge rate.
