Folks at Phone Arena have recently conducted an extensive battery life test by pitting Google's flagship tablet, the Nexus 9, against a bunch of competitors to determine the fastest charging time and the best battery life performance among the given devices.
Quite interestingly, Google's 9in slate comes out on top with a whopping 9 hours and 24 minutes of battery life during the custom web-script test, which is designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage.
