Because we're dealing with a logarithmic scale, the difference in transmission power is not 10% like you might imagine based on the numbers, it's ten times the power. The best signal he was able to achieve was -100dBm (outdoors). In particular, Matt was unable to achieve our target signal strength of -90dBm or better in the same area where he tests all other LTE devices. Both Matt and I have noticed that cellular reception on the Pixel XL is not very good. Unfortunately, the Pixel XL presents a problem here. Normally we would also run this test on LTE, in order to compare battery life between devices when browsing on a cellular connection instead of WiFi. It could very well come down to greater power usage by the display, and this appears even more likely when one considers the additional power burden of using the wider NTSC gamut instead of sRGB. The S7 edge only has a 4% advantage for battery capacity, which isn't nearly enough to explain the gap.
The S7 edge and the Pixel XL have very similar specifications, right down to the CPU configuration and the display.

Apple's iPhone 7 and 7 Plus do similarly well at 9.22 hours and 9.32 hours, despite the fact that their batteries are significantly smaller than the Pixel XL's. In comparison, the thinner, smaller, and lighter Galaxy S7 edge with a display of equal size and resolution manages to last for 9.72 hours in this test. Considering the thickness, mass, and battery capacity of the Pixel XL, this is not a very impressive result. In our internal WiFi web browsing test the Google Pixel XL comes in just under 8 hours. As usual, our battery testing begins with our internal web browsing test, followed by PCMark's general use battery test, and ending with a GFXBench GPU battery rundown. As I just mentioned, it is usually the case that when a smartphone ships in two sizes the larger model provides better battery life, which is something to consider when thinking about where the normal Pixel would sit relative to the larger model. Unfortunately, we don't have the 5" Google Pixel on hand, so testing will have to rely solely on the Pixel XL. They differ only by the size and resolution of their AMOLED displays, and accordingly, the larger Pixel XL has a 25 percent larger internal battery. There's a 5" model and a 5.5" model, both with equal thickness, and both sharing the same internal specifications.
The Google Pixel is one of those devices that comes in two sizes.
Even so, as a general rule it's usually a safe assumption. Obviously this is not a strict rule, as we've seen with web browsing on the iPhone and iPhone Plus, where both models have a very similar battery life. In general, if you have two devices with a similar hardware platform but one is able to fit a significantly larger battery due to its larger size, it's going to achieve better battery life. When a phone comes in two sizes, battery life is always one of the big questions on a potential buyer's mind.
