We had the BlackBery Priv for review recently, but we didn’t manage to conduct a proper battery test. Well, we got another chance to play with the slider and there was no escaping this time.

The BlackBerry Priv is equipped with a fairly large 3,410mAh battery. In keeping with current trends, it is sealed in, but the Snapdragon 808, powering the phone, supports Quick Charge 2.0, which can get you from zero to 60% in about 30 minutes. Sadly, the bundled charger doesn’t support quick charging so you would have to get an extra one.

The Priv also has wireless charging capabilities, both Qi and PMA compliant. Sadly, only the US model supports that.

The BlackBerry Priv posted what can best be described as satisfactory battery life results. On a 3G call the smartphone lasted only around 15 hours, which is on the short side. A Samsung Galaxy Note5 can go for twice as long, while a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium and a Huawei Nexus 6P hover around the 20 and a half hour mark. Then again an LG V10 and the Apple iPhone 6s Plus aren’t much better at 16:40 and 15:51, respectively.

The Priv’s endurance when browsing the web over Wi-Fi stood at 8:20 hours in our test. Again nothing impressive, but not entirely disappointing. It’s the exact same number the V10 posted, marginally lower than the Nexus 6P, and an hour less than the Xperia Z5 Premium. The iPhone 6s rules here with a little short of 12 hours, outlasting the Note5 by an hour.
