The alternative is not Chrome but one of the many apps that put together web's mobile facebook and activate messenger options.

So now, since you have a high end phone, you can't use facebook or other apps? Where's your logic?



With official tests I was referring to GSMarena, Mrwhostheboss and many others, that's as official as it gets, since statistics from corporations aren't to be trusted.

The Android Facebook app isn't just a wrapper around a web app. It was in the past but hasn't been for a long time. It's a native Android app. The battery life of the Facebook app is far better than you get in a browser. With the Facebook app I get about 8 minutes per 1% of battery. Chrome, on average, gets about 6 minutes per 1% of battery. That's 33% longer when using the Facebook app.I'm curious about the other apps you are talking about. I've used one or two Facebook app alternatives in the past and not were as good as the official app.The battery life tests from GSMArena are basically useless. They don't at all reflect real world usage and even under their very unrealistic test conditions still weren't even close to being accurate.Look at what the average person is getting. It's not great considering the hardware and what other phones get with lower specs.
