Since the other components of these phones are essentially the same size, or close to the same size, in all four tested phones—except for the iPhone 7 with its new haptic engine, which none of the others have—the only component that can take up more space IS THE BATTERY, and each of the competitors' phones has a large amount of extra volume to put in a much larger battery!
I did the engineering for you earlier in the thread. I know you hate facts and all (you are, after all, an Apple cultist), but the facts are clearly and unequivocally laid out - the difference in phone size CANNOT account for the extra battery.
Samsung (and, apparently Huawei who did the 6P and now Google) can package a phone more efficiently than Apple.
The iPhone 7 has lower battery life, in this set of tests, than the Samsung, LG, and HTC units.
Facts are always - ALWAYS - terrible things for religious adherents. Think about THAT one for a while. If you have the "courage" to do so, that is...
Look DAN. . . there is no "posse", only the people who have been participating on the two threads on this topic. Get off that idiotic meme. i am not in any trouble with YOU on the ropes. YOU are wrong. YOU are the one who's slinging insults because you are WRONG! Batteries are not fitted by AREA, Dan. The VOLUME of the two phones can be easily checked by anyone and here you are DANcing all over the place hoping no one will notice that the volume of the iPhone is approximately 95% of the Google Pixel XL.
You can keep screaming that the iPhone 7 has a lower capacity battery all you want, but you have to ignore the cubic capacity of the phones that it was compared against. . . and you just don't want to admit they were far larger! 18.8% to 43% larger! Give it up. YOU LOST!
