A few days ago, Xiaomi released a video on Weibo which compares the battery performance of the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 with vivoĀ X21, iPhone X, and oppo R15. All devices were fully charged and subjected to one-hour online video playback, one-hour online music playback, one-hour video shooting, WeChat video calling and two hours gaming.

The battery mAh of these smartphones are nowhere near that of Xiaomi Mi Max 3. While iPhone X comes with aĀ 2716mAh battery, vivoĀ X21 and oppo R15 sports aĀ 3200mAh andĀ 3450mAh battery respectively. Nevertheless, battery performance is much more than the mAh of the battery.
