Now, while we wouldn’t call this the most scientific of tests, it’s still somewhat interesting. If you don’t have time to watch the whole video, spoiler alert: it doesn’t make a difference.īoth phones seem to drain equally fast and in fact, the phone with the 1080p display actually died about a minute before the 1440p model. This is something that the folks at PhoneBuff tried to find out in a smartphone battery life test, where they pit two Samsung Galaxy S10+ handsets against each other, where one model has a 1440p display and the other has a 1080p display. Is there a reason for that? It was previously suggested that a higher resolution display could have a negative impact on battery life. That has yet to happen, save for a few handsets here and there, but it isn’t quite as ubiquitous compared to QHD or QHD+ screens. For a moment in time, it felt like we were moving towards smartphones with 4K displays.
