Scoring
Sub-scores and attributes included in the calculations of the global score.

Key performances
These key points are derived from the lab measurements during testing and do not figure into the overall score. The lab measurements, however, are used for the overall score.
95th
31st
Pros
- Very fast charging thanks to its 80W charger
- 7 hours of autonomy recovered on average after a 5-minute charge
- Excellent charge efficiency
Cons
- Autonomies during our calibrated tests are slightly below average
- Weak autonomy in on-the-go tests
- High residual consumption of the charger when the device is fully charged and still plugged in
The OnePlus Nord 2T 5G’s autonomy of 2 days and 4 hours in moderate use was an average showing. But the overall autonomy score for the device came in slightly below average because of poor on-the-go and calibrated performances, especially during idle and music-streaming tests.
The OnePlus Nord 2T 5G, however, comes with an 80W charger, which provided the device an excellent charging performance, taking 22 minutes and 14 seconds to charge 80% of the battery capacity and 40 minutes and 19 seconds to a full charge. The autonomy gained after a 5-minute charge was on average 7 hours.
The charge efficiency at 82.6% was among the best in our database. But the residual consumption of the charger when the device was fully charged and still plugged in was very high, almost double the average.
The efficiency, in terms of discharge current, was poor due to high power drainage, especially when streaming music.
Compared with devices from the same High-end price range ($400 to $599), the OnePlus Nord 2T 5G achieved an average global score. Its autonomy and efficiency were poor, but the charging score was higher than average in this segment thanks to the 80W charger.

Autonomy

Autonomy score is composed of three performance sub-scores: Stationary, 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.
On the go

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
Calibrated

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.
Charging

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

224
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.

Quick boost

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.
Efficiency

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.
Charge up

205
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

194
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.
