Disclaimers
¹ Data comes from POCO Internal Labs. Actual results may vary depending on different test environments and conditions.
² The data is based on test results from POCO Internal Labs, measured under a simulated, comprehensive battery life scenario reflecting daily use (including typical smartphone activities such as home screen use, music playback, social media, email, maps, video streaming, standby, etc.). Actual results may vary due to differences in the testing environment, software version, network conditions, and individual usage patterns.
³ This is from theoretical calculations based on test data from POCO Internal Labs. Simulate daily user habits (one full charge and discharge every 1.79 days). Over 80% of the battery’s capacity is retained after 1600 complete charge cycles, which corresponds to over 6 years of usage. Actual results may vary depending on testing conditions and usage habits.
⁴ The product has passed TÜV SÜD 5-star Battery Performance Certification, Certificate No.: Z2GCN 099551 0768、Z2GCN 099551 0769、Z2GCN 099551 0767、Z2GCN 099551 0770. Under laboratory conditions, the battery’s adaptability to harsh environments was tested through simulated high-temperature storage, low-temperature storage, low-temperature discharge, and temperature cycling tests ranging from -40°C to 75°C. Actual performance may vary due to differences in testing equipment, test environments, usage methods, and user habits. Under laboratory conditions, tests including simulated vibration, free fall, impact, compression, and certain collision scenarios were conducted to verify that the battery did not experience abnormal conditions such as fire, explosion, or leakage. Actual performance may vary due to differences in testing equipment, test environments, drop/impact angles, and usage methods. Based on theoretical calculations, under room-temperature conditions and simulated daily usage scenarios, the battery capacity retention rate remains ≥80% after 1,600 charge and discharge cycles. Actual results may vary due to differences in testing equipment, test environments, personal usage methods, and user habits. Under laboratory conditions, simulated 60-hour battery endurance tests were conducted.
