Maybe that was the wrong word. What I meant is don't you think the second video could be manipulated to get a more favorable result? The minimum settings for the 3DS lead to a battery life of about five hours in the first video. We know that this holds true from the countless tests during its launch period. From those tests we also know that everything put at max reduces the 3DS's battery life to just above two and a half hours which can be seen in the second video. I see no reason to believe that the first video involves any tricks. The second one, on the other hand, is suspicious. Do the PS Vita and PSP really run at max settings just like the 3DS next to them? The PSP is irrelevant for this thread, so let's focus on the Vita. Is it feasible that a system running at full sound, full brightness and with wi-fi enabled still lasts almost as long as with everything on minimum? You can talk about OLED screens as long as you want, but wi-fi is really a drain on the battery in all portable devices. |
Oh, never really thought of that. I think it's more suspicious that the PSP lasted 9 hours to be honest. 
I thought your first post was serious. 17 minutes sounds about right for the difference between maximum and minimum brightness on an OLED screen, I'm unsure about power consumption from the speakers, but in the video, Wi-fi wasn't being used in the PSP the PSP doesn't have wi-fi and I don't think it was being used in the other consoles either.
The guy from the first video should do another test using the same games he did in his first.
EDIT: I understand why you replied to me now. I can assure you, it was just my enthusiasm about OLED screens, I wasn't trying to troll the 3DS.
