Pros
Very good autonomy at nearly 67 hours in moderate use
Excellent autonomy when watching videos
Low discharge currents overall, especially when streaming videos and calling
Low residual power drain when the device is fully charged and still plugged in
Cons
Battery level collapses after 5%
Low autonomy when using the camera or listening to music
High residual consumption of the wireless stand
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra battery experience earned an excellent global score, placing it among the top 10 devices we have tested so far and in the top spot of our Ultra-Premium segment. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset, the Galaxy S23 outperformed its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra (both the Snapdragon and Exynos versions) by a long stretch, thanks to better autonomy and efficiency scores.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra showed excellent results in our autonomy tests. The battery lasted nearly 67 hours when used moderately, with less than 2% lost per night on average. When testing outdoors, the performances were also very good, except when using the camera, where the autonomy was slightly below our database average. During the tests where we evaluate particular usages separately, the autonomy was excellent, too, especially when streaming videos. However, the battery level collapsed when reaching 5%, which could impact the user experience.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra’s charging results were average, whether wired or wireless. The time to fully replenish the battery with a wired charger took 1 hour and 21 minutes, and with a wireless one, 2 hours and 18 minutes. A quick 5-minute wired charge provided a good 5 hours and 23 minutes of autonomy on average, but the autonomy recovered when charging from 60% was only half of what was recovered when charging from 20%.
The residual consumption for both wired and wireless chargers was very low when the device is fully charged and still plugged in. However, the residual consumption of the wireless stand itself was very high, placing it at the bottom of the database. In almost all test cases (except music streaming and idle with screen off), the discharge currents were very low, meaning that the device is well-optimized.
Flagship devices often face challenges in battery performance because of their power-hunger new features. This is where careful hardware and software integration plays a significant role in battery performance. Compared with other devices from the Ultra-Premium segment ($800+), the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra easily reached the top score of our database. Even if it did not set any new highs in the sub-scores, its excellent autonomy and efficiency, combined with a good charging experience, allowed the Galaxy S23 Ultra to obtain the best score so far for this segment.

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 %.

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.
