Which Tablet Has the Longest Battery Life? [Infographic]

Which.co.uk has published two infographics comparing the battery life of 10-inch and 7-inch tablets.

Each time we test a tablet we check the battery life for web browsing over wi-fi, over 3G (if relevant) and for video playback. To keep the tests fair we set the screen brightness to 200 nits (a reasonable daytime brightness level) using a light meter to ensure no tablet has an unfair advantage by using a low default brightness setting. We also test how long the battery takes to fully recharge.

As you can see in the graphics below, Apple wins both categories hands down. The Apple iPad with Retina latest for 811 compared to 590 for the iPad 2 and 532 for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1.

The iPad mini also topped its category lasting for 783 compared to 591 for the Amazon Kindle Fire HD and 550 for the Nexus 7.

It's nice to see that the Galaxy is on the list because I'm absolutely in LOVE with this thing! It's easy to use so I didn't have to go searching the internet for tutorials. Here's the one I have on Amazon http://bit.ly/UD0r1e. If you're looking to get a tablet I'd recommend the Galaxy over the other tablets, it really blows them away. :)

@buster cherry, a 10" tablet VS another 10" tablet is not the same as a big tank VS. a small tank. They are the same size tablet then put the same size battery and keep up! You would think they put the best in it as they could and I'm sure they did and still can't hang! No one can hang with the iPad PERIOD!

I still can't get over the playbook comment! I can only assume the comment was made by a robot and not a human. iPad owns the tablet market hands down.
