Nokia Lumia 1320 battery life test

With our review of the Lumia 1320 under way, we managed to run the smartphone through our battery life test gauntlet and we are now giving you the scores. With an endurance rating of 105 hours, its premium brother the Lumia 1520, set the bar pretty high leaving no room for mediocre performance on Lumia 1320′s side.
And at least on paper we shouldn’t expect the Lumia 1320 to flop. It sports an identical battery to the Lumia 1520 – a 3,400 Li-Ion unit as well as the same 6″ display, which is even of lower resolution this time. 

Inside the Nokia Lumia 1320 lies a pretty dated Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipest with a 1.7GHz dual-core Krait CPU and an Adreno 305 GPU. It lacks the clever battery management optimizations of the more potent Snapdragon 800, so it’s going to be interesting to see just how much this reflects on the battery life.
Let’s get the ball rolling, shall we? First off, we start with the 3G talk time test. The Nokia Lumia 1320 got the same time as the Lumia 1020 – 22 hours and 13 minutes. That’s more than 6 hours behind the Lumia 1520 and keeping in mind that the screen is turned off when speaking, you can clearly see the drawbacks of the old radio and chipset architectures.
