Meizu m2 note battery life test

The Meizu m2 note turned out a capable fella even though it came with an inferior chipset compared to its predecessor. The m2 note still relies on a big 5.5" 1080p display and a MediaTek tech, plus it's powered by a beefy 3,100 mAh battery.

 We've seen the m1 note do reasonably well in our battery life test and we were eager to check how the m2 note stacks against it.
The 3G talk test was a blast - the m2 note lasted a notch below 21 hours, which is a noticeable improvement over the m1 note.

Talk time

  • Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro 33:20h
  • Yota YotaPhone 2 22:09h
  • Samsung ATIV SE 22:05h
  • Xiaomi Redmi Note 21:41h
  • Samsung Galaxy Note Edge 21:39h
  • Xiaomi Mi 4i 21:02h
  • Meizu m2 note 20:55h
  • LG Optimus G Pro E985 20:45h
  • HTC One M9 20:44h
  • Sony Xperia Z1 Compact 20:42h
  • Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX 20:24h
  • Motorola RAZR i XT890 20:07h
  • BlackBerry Curve 9380 6:52h
The web browsing performance turned out lesser though - the m2 note packed enough juice to run our dedicated web script for almost 10 hours. This is 3 hours less than the m1 note, but still a very good mark.

Web browsing

  • Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G 16:41h
  • HTC One (E8) 10:02h
  • Nokia Lumia 635 10:00h
  • Apple iPhone 5s 9:58h
  • HTC One 9:58h
  • Apple iPhone 5 9:56h
  • Meizu m2 note 9:54h
  • OnePlus One 9:46h
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo 9:43h
  • Alcatel Hero 9:40h
  • Samsung Galaxy S5 9:39h
  • Samsung Galaxy Core LTE 9:37h
  • BlackBerry Bold 9790 4:02h
The m2 note Achilles's heel turned out the video playback - its battery turned out enough for just 6 and a half hours of video playback, which is way below average and a real disappointment for such a beautiful screen. The m1 note did twice as good here.

Video playback

  • LG G Flex 19:57h
  • Xiaomi Mi Note 6:32h
  • Motorola Moto E 6:31h
  • Motorola Moto E Dual SIM 6:31h
  • Alcatel Idol X+ 6:29h
  • Nokia XL 6:28h
  • Meizu m2 note 6:27h
  • Nokia Lumia 920 6:19h
  • HTC Sensation XL 6:12h
  • Sony Xperia E1 6:12h
  • Sony Xperia Z1 6:12h
  • Nokia X 6:10h
  • Lenovo Vibe X2 5:09h
The Meizu m2 note did a hair better than the m1 note when it comes to stand-by endurance. Whether you are using it with one or two SIM cards, you'll be able to last about 15 days on standby.
Indeed the m2 note posted very solid numbers in the 3G call test and web browser endurance, but did rather poorly when it comes to video playback. The m2 note slightly improves the average standby performance of its predecessor, which boosts the overall endurance score up to 69 hours. This means the Meizu m2 note will last two and a half days and then some, if you do an hour each of calling, web browsing and video playback daily.
Meizu m2 note
 The m2 note offers three battery modes - power-saving (four CPU cores only), balanced (six CPU cores) and performance (all eight CPU cores). We tested it in Performance mode, so you may be able to squeeze even more from the battery when the m2 note is running in Power-Saving mode.
Our proprietary score also includes a standby battery draw test, which is not featured in our test scorecard but is calculated in the total endurance rating.
The battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you're interested in the nitty-gritties.

Nvidia Launches GameStream, Adds Shield Button-Mapping

Image
Shield updated to Android 4.3. If you're an owner of Nvidia's portable Shield gaming console, there's some fairly hefty announcements coming your way today. As IGN previously reported from an event in Montreal , GameStream--beaming compatible PC games from your GTX-ready rig to the Shield--has officially left beta. And on the Android side, the Shield's library of mobile games has expanded considerably. After its launch, the Shield was only compatible with a particular list of Android games. But starting today, Nvidia has launched the Shield Gamepad Mapper, allowing nearly any Android title to be converted to Shield's controller inputs. Nvidia will release button mapping profiles on a weekly basis via over-the-air updates, but it's also possible to set your own configurations and share them with friends. IGN's review of the Nvidia Shield did take some contention with the--then beta--streaming of PC games to the portable unit. After spendin...

Microsoft Confirms Windows 8.1 is a Free Update

Image
Still no confirmation of an exact release date. Last week, Microsoft admitted the company was at work on the first major update for Windows 8 , codenamed "Blue." Details were scarce at the time, but Microsoft CMO and CFO Tami Reller has now formally revealed the update as Windows 8.1 during JP Morgan's Technology, Media, & Telcom Conference, reports Engadget . Unfortunately, there's still no confirmation of a precise release date. Reller stated Windows 8.1 will launch as a free update to both the standard Windows 8 OS and its ARM-based RT cousin. According to Reller, the update will roll out sometime later this year. A public preview is still slated for June 26, during Microsoft's upcoming Build conference. Last week, Reller stated the forthcoming update would address "customer feedback" Microsoft had received for Windows 8 and Windows RT. During the same talk, Microsoft announced the company had sold over 100 million licenses of it...

HTC 10 shows its face again, black version pictured

Image
HTC 10 is going official on April 12 but we know pretty much everything there is to know about company's next big thing. We know the design is a hybrid between the One M9 and One A9, we know about its Quad HD AMOLED screen and Snapdragon 820 chip, the possibility of a Snapdragon 652 model, its rumored retail price at €740, even the reported April 15 as a lunch date. HTC has begun a marketing campaign with teasers over the social networks, but the leaks are quite more revealing than HTC's hints. Today's leak show the black flavor of the HTC 10 shot next to its silver sibling. We've seen its metal chassis leak already in detail, though, and this gloomy shot only shows yet another view of the black version. Fingers crossed HTC did manage to keep something from leaking and will surprise us on April 12. Source • Via
