Pros

  • Fast wired charging time at 47 minutes
  • Very good wireless charge experience
  • Good autonomy when gaming
  • Good autonomy recovered after a 5-minute charge

Cons

  • Poor autonomy when using the camera
  • Below-average wired charge efficiency

The Huawei P60 Pro’s excellent global battery score places the device among the best devices in our database. The smartphone outperformed its predecessor, the Huawei P50 Pro in autonomy and charging experience, but it had a lower efficiency score.

The autonomy was average with slightly more than 2.5 days when used moderately. The autonomy performances for outdoor and indoor usages were also average overall. Camera use showed poor autonomy, but gaming autonomy was excellent.

The Huawei P60 Pro’s charging experience for both wired and wireless charging was very good. The wired charger took only 47 minutes to replenish the battery, and a 5-minute quick charge provided an excellent 8 hours and 12 minutes of autonomy on average. The wireless 50W charger refilled the battery in slightly more than 1 hour and 15 minutes, which was among the best wireless times we have measured.

The wired charge efficiency was below average with high residual consumption of charger when the device was fully charged and still plugged in. However, the wireless charge efficiency was better than average. The discharge currents were low when gaming and scrolling on social apps, but high when using the camera, and average for other usages, meaning that the device is not perfectly optimized.

Compared with devices from the Ultra-Premium range prices ($800+), the Huawei P60 Pro ranked among the best devices. The autonomy and charging experiences were very good for this segment, and the efficiency was quite good too.

How Autonomy score is composed

Autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: Home / Office, On the go, and Calibrated use cases. Each sub-score comprises the results of a comprehensive range of tests for measuring autonomy in all kinds of real-life scenarios.

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.

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.
