Beyond impressive specs and stunning camera capabilities, consumers often prioritize battery life when choosing a smartphone. This article introduces the top 10 phones known for their extended battery performance.
1. 10 Modern Smartphones with Long-Lasting Batteries
In 2016, an increasing number of smartphones manage to balance powerful specifications and large displays while maintaining excellent battery life.
The phablet from Apple, rated by Phone Arena as the 2016 premium model with the best battery, features an upgraded capacity from 2,750 mAh to 2,900 mAh. The iPhone 7 Plus comes with an A10 4-core processor with energy-efficient capabilities. Its only drawback is the relatively long charging time.
Discover iPhone 7 - a compact version derived from 7 Plus, boasting slightly smaller dimensions and screen resolution. Despite a 1,960 mAh battery, less than other premium smartphones of similar size, iPhone 7 still delivers impressive real-world battery life.
Google Pixel
Pixel and Pixel XL stand as Google's response to the latest iPhone duo. Beyond the camera competition, even battery comparison is worthwhile. Google Pixel, a compact model with a 5-inch Full HD screen and a 2,770 mAh battery, rivals iPhone 7 Plus and surpasses iPhone 7 by half.
Noteworthy for its powerful specs and affordable price, Xiaomi Mi 5 also boasts impressive battery life. With a 3,000 mAh battery, it proves more than sufficient for an Android device with a 5.2-inch Full HD display. Additionally, Xiaomi equips this product with Quick Charge 3.0 technology by Qualcomm for rapid charging.
Google Pixel XL
Differing from the iPhone duo, Pixel XL features a battery that doesn't match its smaller sibling, Pixel. Partly due to the 5.5-inch screen with a significantly higher 2K QuadHD resolution. Compared to the iPhone 7 Plus, the Android phablet from Google boasts a larger battery, reaching 3,450 mAh.
Tasked with replacing the Galaxy Note 7 towards the end of the year, this model also possesses a long-lasting battery. Furthermore, the battery capacity is even higher, reaching 3,600 mAh. Similar to the Pixel XL, S7 edge features equivalent specifications, a 2K screen but in a smaller size, at just 5.5 inches.
HTC 10
Regarded as HTC's most complete Android smartphone, the HTC 10 excels not only in its metal design, a good QuadHD 5.2-inch display, and powerful specs but also in its camera, sound, and battery. With a capacity of up to 3,000 mAh and support for QuickCharge 3.0 fast charging, alongside the modern USB-C charging port.
Moto Z Force
Meet the transformative smartphone, Moto Z Force, equipped with hardware upgrades through modular backings. Users even have the option to increase the battery capacity from 1,000 to several thousand mAh if needed. Nevertheless, the basic product already features a robust 3,500 mAh battery.
Not only boasting dual cameras and a solid metal body, Huawei's premium Android model priced at over 10 million VND also earns praise for its battery. The compact design, paired with a 5.2-inch Full HD display, ensures the 3,000 mAh battery is more than sufficient.
Xperia XZ stands as Sony's flagship smartphone in the latter half of 2016. Similar to the Huawei P9, the product features a Full HD screen and a compact 5.2-inch size. The device's 2,900 mAh battery is equivalent to that of a larger iPhone, the 7 Plus.
Battery performance of select 2016 smartphones, as assessed by the technology platform Phone Arena. The results represent the continuous operation time of the phones, starting from a full charge until the battery is depleted. This is achieved through simulations of various typical usage scenarios. The longer the duration, the higher the battery is rated.
