Rating of smartphones with a long operating mode. Who has more? Top most autonomous smartphones. Comparison of flagships: battery life when watching videos

The question of choosing a good battery in a smartphone becomes more and more difficult every year.

Today, for some reason, few people pay attention to the fact that the smartphone has a powerful battery. And so we are now talking about the best smartphones with powerful batteries.

Of course, smartphones come in very different sizes. Some people like small ones, others like big ones. Therefore, we will start with the smallest and move gradually to the largest.

Sony Xperia Z5 Compact


Despite the fact that this smartphone was released back in 2015, it still remains one of the most relevant small smartphones with a pretty good battery in terms of volume, which is exactly 2700 mAh. In fact, such a smartphone is enough for one full working day.

In addition to the battery, there is also a very good 4.6-inch HD screen, the still up-to-date Snapdragon 810 processor, good cameras, a fingerprint sensor and, which is very important for the Japanese brand, IP68 water and dust resistance.

Xiaomi Redmi Pro 4

Next, we move on to slightly larger smartphones. Among the 5-inch with a large battery capacity, there is only one model, and this is Xiaomi Redmi Pro 4. It has a 4100 mAh battery, which should be enough for about 1.5 or 2 working days. Despite the fact that this smartphone is not positioned as a flagship, its power is enough for any daily tasks.

Xiaomi Mi5S and Mi6


If you still need a smartphone with more powerful hardware and a smaller size, then we recommend the other two models of the same brand, only they are already 100% flagships. Metal Xiaomi Mi5S or glass Xiaomi Mi6. Of course, in both versions, the batteries are weaker than the previous one, namely 3200 and 3350 mAh, respectively. And yet, one or one and a half working days will be guaranteed with these smartphones.

Meizu, Xiaomi and LeEco


The first is Meizu. The best smartphones from this brand with 5.5 '' screens will be M3 Note and Note M5... Interestingly, both models come with a 4100 mAh battery, which lasts for 1 - 1.5 days, and with the Helio P10 processor, in both versions, which shows itself very adequately in everyday tasks.

The next brand is Xiaomi again.

Here it is already worth paying attention to three models with batteries for 4050 - 4100 mAh. First, it is the perfect solution for budget gaming.

It seems that there has never been such a game that this smartphone would not digest. One battery charge lasts about 1 - 1.5 working days.

And the latest model is Redmi Pro- in fact, it is a cross between the two previous models. It is not bad in autonomy and good in games, but its main feature is its appearance.

If you need something significantly premium and more powerful, then we recommend that you pay attention to Mi Note 2. It has a slightly larger, 5.7-inch FullHD screen, 4070 mAh battery and, very importantly, Qualcomm's flagship processor from 2016 - Snapdragon 821.

Of the important factors, this is a very expensive piece with a very beautiful design. And what is important for our topic, solid autonomy somewhere up to 1.5 days.


And the latest smartphone with an average 5.5 '' size is this. This smartphone is LeEco's flagship for 2016, which is still relevant today. The charge of this smart should normally be enough for the same 1.5 days of use.

Autonomy giants

And now we come to the limb. Namely, to the best smartphones in terms of autonomy.

Somehow it so happened that those smartphones that show the best performance in terms of autonomy are large in size. Therefore, they are not quite suitable for everyone. Or they may simply be suitable for those who want a tablet and a smartphone in one whole.

Huawei Honor Note 8


This is a very good smartphone in terms of power with good technical indicators. It has a 4500 mAh battery, which is a good indicator today, for about 1.5 working days. In addition, it has a very large 6.6 '' 2K screen and a very thin 7.2mm body.

The first one we will talk about is the year of release.

Here are slightly smaller sizes than Honor note 8, but on the other hand, the indicators for autonomy are slightly better. After all, 4850 mAh in such a thin body, namely 7.5 mm, is already a very good indicator. The first Mi Max comes in two processor versions, namely Snapdragon 650 and Snapdragon 652.

Both options are the best for budget gaming at maximum graphics settings. And even with such a large battery, such a monster is definitely enough for all tasks for a stable 2 - 2.5 days.

And the last smartphone for today is 2017 release.

In short, this is an improved version of the first generation. The only drawback is only the processor, which is slightly weaker than the one in the first Mi Max.

However, if you do not really play powerful games, and even if you play, but not at the maximum graphics settings, then this is just a very smart solution among the "shovels". And if we talk about batteries, then this is 5300 mAh with almost the same thickness and dimensions as the first "Max". This big guy will be 100% enough for you for a stable 2.5-3 days.

Output


The choice of this or that smartphone is always yours. We're just trying to tell you about those that are really worth taking a closer look at, since they have very good battery life.

Endowed with more and more functionality. However, no matter how functional the communicator is, all raspberries can be spoiled by one nuance - a short operating time without recharging. The rating of phones by operating time, which has collected the most powerful devices in this regard, will be of particular interest to those who are often on trips.

Phone with a capacious battery

The specifications of smartphones and phones do not always indicate the time frame, but there is always an item "battery capacity", which largely determines how long the device will live on a single charge. Judging by this indicator, the rating of phones by operating time will look like this:

The gadgets showed such results provided they were used for an hour a day for calls, an hour for surfing the web and an hour for watching a video.

Phone with maximum call time

Another line-up has a dozen leaders of the same telephone rating in terms of working hours, if the main type of "activity" is calls:

2. Huawei Ascend Mate2 4G - 33+ hours

10.Samsung Galaxy S6 active - 26+ hours

From the very first list of phones with a powerful battery, THL 5000 (47 hours of calls), Philips Xenium W6610 (40 hours), Sonim XP7 (40 hours) and Sonim XP6 (40 hours) can be added to the top of this list.

Smartphones with long web surfing times

Battery test in web surfing mode allowed to form the following rating of phones in terms of operating time:

7. Motorola Moto E (2nd gen) - 12+ hours

In terms of using 4G LTE and screen brightness at 100 nits, Huawei Ascend Mate 2 (under 15 hours), OnePlus One (13 hours), iPhone 6 Plus (10 hours), Samsung Galaxy S5 (over 9.5 hours) and Motorola Droid Turbo (9.5 hours)

Smartphones with long video viewing times

Another popular area of ​​energy use is watching videos. Rating of phones by the time of operation in this mode.

Leading smartphone manufacturers are actively competing in the quality of cameras, processor performance, memory size, but almost all flagships suffer from one drawback - the battery (otherwise called the battery) lasts only for one day. For those who often travel or are simply active smartphone users who forget to recharge their device in time, having a powerful battery that allows a smartphone to last two, or even three or even four days with active use may be more important than having a dual camera or the latest processor. Fortunately, there are plenty of models with a powerful battery for this category of buyers, mostly from Chinese manufacturers.

When choosing a long-playing smartphone, you need to pay attention to 2 indicators. First, the capacity of the battery. This indicator, the unit of measurement of which is milliampere-hour (abbreviated as mAh), indirectly determines the duration of the smartphone's operation without recharging. Indirectly, since other factors also affect the battery life, for example, screen size (a large screen consumes more power during operation), processor power, etc. To unambiguously understand how long a smartphone will last without recharging, you need to look at the battery life in different modes: talking, listening to music, watching videos, standby. At the same time, not all manufacturers indicate these data, but simply the figures for the capacity of the battery can give a distorted picture, although in most cases, the larger the capacity of the smartphone, the longer it will work without recharging.

Further, the rating, which includes the best smartphones with the most powerful battery for 2017. The rating is compiled not only according to the battery life and battery capacity, but also takes into account the reviews in the Yandex market. If available, autonomy tests were used on the UL Benchmarks resource (this resource determines the average battery life).

In modern smartphones, manufacturers are rapidly improving everything - the screen, the hardware, the camera, increasing the amount of memory and working on the design. However, battery life and battery life are often the Achilles heel of not only budget but also most top-end devices. What's the use of performance if the phone can barely make it through the evening on a single charge?

Especially for those who do not want to depend on the outlet, we have selected smartphones with a powerful battery from 2018-2019. This rating includes the best smartphones in their categories - from affordable devices to full-fledged flagships with increased autonomy, so you will have a lot to choose from. Let's start!

LG X Power K220DS

X Power is a new product from LG in 2016, which combines decent hardware with a 4100 mAh battery. This is a good mid-range model with an HD IPS screen, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of ROM and a slot for a flash drive. The 13 MP camera allows you to take good pictures, and the performance of the 4-core MediaTek MT6734 processor is enough for most tasks.

This model can be confidently kept for two days without recharging. We can recommend X Power to undemanding users who do not pursue performance, but want to have a solid, modern smartphone from a well-known brand in their hands. We also recommend paying attention to this model for those who need a full-fledged smartphone for two SIM cards - this phone is equipped with two radio modules, so that the second SIM card remains active even when you are talking. Price - from 12 thousand rubles.

LG X Power K220DS

DOOGEE X5 Max Pro

In the face of the X5 Max Pro, you can get everything that LG offers us, only much cheaper. The technical characteristics of the devices are very similar - 5 '' HD display, 16/2 GB of memory, a slot for a USB flash drive and a 4000 mAh battery. The only significant difference is the weak camera, in Dugi the main module has a resolution of only 5 MP.

However, if you need a smartphone to view media content and surf the Internet, then the X5 Max Pro can be considered an excellent option - this is one of the most popular Chinese in the cheapest segment of 2018-2019, which has received positive reviews from many users.

Buying DOOGEE you should understand that you will have to pay for the savings with the need to bring it to mind with a "file", since using a smartphone with a partially Russified Chinese firmware with a bunch of pre-installed trash is still a pleasure. If you are ready to sit on the forums, deal with the flashing and spend a few days to adjust the phone for yourself, you can safely take it. Price - from 7 thousand rubles.

DOOGEE X5 Max Pro

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro

The Redmi 4 Pro, like its predecessor, the Redmi 3S, is one of the best smartphones in the budget price segment, as evidenced by its sales. You will no longer find a smartphone with Snapdragon 625 + 32/3 GB of memory, FHD 5 '' screen, 13/5 MP cameras and 4000 mAh battery from a trusted manufacturer for 9 thousand rubles.

Redmi 4 is an excellent smartphone that can work on a single charge for 2-3 days. It is well assembled, takes good pictures and is able to satisfy all the needs of an ordinary user. We definitely recommend buying!

Xiaomi Redmi 4 Pro

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

Another long-lived and inexpensive smartphone from Xiaomi for those who value power and performance. The Note 3 Pro can play demanding 3D games, while its heart - the Snapdragon 650 processor is practically cool and not subject to throttling.

The Note 3 Pro tops all lists of the most popular mid-range smartphones in 2016 for a reason. The device boasts a large memory capacity of 32/3 GB + a slot for flash cards, a good 16 MP camera, a large 5.5 '' FULL HD display and a 4050 mAh battery. Like the younger model, Note 3 Pro lives without recharging for up to 3 days with active use.

We have a detailed description of this smartphone on our website.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro

OUKITEL K10000 Pro

K10000 Pro can rightfully be called the record holder for autonomy among smartphones. No joke, the device has a 10,000 mAh battery, which is more than the capacity of an average power bank! This smartphone works on a single charge for a week with intensive use, if you save the charge and use it as a dialer, you can count on 10 days of the phone's life.

In terms of characteristics, the K10000 Pro is an ordinary midrange. It uses a 5.5 '' HD display, 13/5 MP cameras, 16/2 GB of memory and a MediaTek MT6745P processor with a Mali-T720 video accelerator. The performance of the smartphone is sufficient for resource-intensive games, which can be run at medium settings, surfing the Internet and other everyday tasks.

Its main drawback is the average quality display, which suffers from strong color inversion when tilting angles. However, the advantages outweigh, considering that the manufacturer has provided the ability to charge other gadgets from the phone.

Note that the K10000 Pro is a men's smartphone, it is made in an unusual metal case, has a considerable thickness (almost 14 mm) and a significant weight (285 grams). This device will be out of place in fragile female hands. Cost - from 11 thousand rubles.

ASUS ZenFone 3 Max ZC520TL

ZenFone 3 Max is one of the most successful models of 2016 from ASUS. Outwardly, the smartphone looks quite strict, it is made in an all-metal case with thin frames around the display and 2.5D glass on the front. There is a fingerprint scanner to which you can assign various functions, and a high-quality main speaker.

The battery capacity is 4100 mAh, it is enough for 2 days of use. The specifications also did not disappoint - a 5.2 '' HD IPS screen, 16/2 GB of memory, a 4-core MT6737T processor and 13/5 MP cameras. Smartphone photographs are really not bad, mainly due to the well-implemented software HDR, when using which rich and colorful photos are obtained.

The advantages of this model can be attributed to the proprietary ZenUI shell, which many of the users consider the best user interface among all smartphone manufacturers. The main advantages of ZenUI are extensive customization options, thoughtful gesture control, and simplicity and consistency. The cost of a smartphone is from 12 thousand rubles.

Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Do you want a big, long-lived smartphone that will be a pleasure to watch multimedia content on? Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is your choice. This is a real giant with a 6.44 inch display, the autonomy of which is provided by a 5300 mAh battery. The memory here is 64/4 GB, expandable with cards up to 256 GB, there are also very good 12/5 MP cameras and, like the icing on the cake, a powerful Snapdragon 625 processor.

The disadvantages of Mi Max 2 are at least - we note only the not quite standard factory calibration of the display (the screen goes a little yellow) and the mediocre stereo sound quality. In general, Mi Mix is ​​a cool phablet capable of delivering an honest 11 hours of active screen. And there are very few such smartphones on the market!

Highscreen Power Ice Evo

As a rule, a smartphone with a powerful battery and a thin body are not compatible concepts, but Power Ice Evo from the domestic company Highscreen is ready to challenge this statement. With a 5000 mAh battery, the thickness of the smartphone is only 8.7 mm, which is unmatched on the market.

Power Ice Evo is head enough for any daily tasks, the smartphone has an MT6737 processor with a Mali T-720 video accelerator on board, which, paired with 2 RAM memory, allows you to enjoy fast Internet surfing and smooth video viewing. The device has a camera for 8 and 5 MP, the photo quality from the main module is quite decent.

Highscreens are popular largely due to the fact that they do not use any proprietary shells and make their smartphones on pure Android. So if you want a Google Nexus-like experience with significantly less money, check out the Power Ice Evo. Price - from 10 thousand rubles.

Highscreen Power Ice Evo

Lenovo K6 Power

The K6 Power is a Snapdragon 430 octa-core phone that doesn't have any outstanding specs, but is also a perfectly balanced solution that can satisfy the needs of even those who use their smartphone to the maximum.

This device has a 4000 mAh battery, which allows the smartphone to work an honest day under active load. K6 Power can be recommended to those who are interested in smartphones with a powerful battery and two SIM cards in 2016. Unlike most analogs, it does not use a hybrid card slot, which allows you to install two SIM cards or a SIM card and a USB flash drive, but full-fledged slots for SIM cards and a memory card.

The characteristics of the K6 Power are more than decent - 13 and 8 MP cameras, 16/2 memory (there is also a version for 3 GB of RAM), a Full HD screen with a diagonal of 5 inches, and there is also a fingerprint sensor. Price - from 16 thousand rubles.

Lenovo P2

Our rating would be incomplete without smartphones that combine top-end hardware and good battery life. Lenovo P2 is just such a device, it is equipped with a 5100 mAh battery, and at the same time it has a stylish and thin (only 8.2 mm) all-metal body with protective Gorilla Glass, made using 2.5D technology.

One of the main advantages of the P2 is the gorgeous FHD Super Amoled 5.5 '' display, thanks to which the viewing of media content turns into a real pleasure. There is excellent color rendition, maximum viewing angles and an excellent level of contrast characteristic of all Amoleds.

Lenovo P2 is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor (8 cores, 2.0 GHz) with 4GB of RAM and 32 internal memory, there is a slot for flash drives up to 128GB. This model has a really cool main camera - 13 MP with dual flash and phase detection autofocus, the front one is more modest - 5 MP.

Lenovo engineers have done a good job on the power consumption of their phablet. So, at maximum brightness, the smartphone gives out about 15 hours of continuous screen activity, which is achieved largely due to the economical AMOLED display matrix. If you use Lenovo P2 in economy mode, then you can count on 3-4 days of life from a single charge. A significant plus is the presence of an NFC module, which will allow you to make contactless payments using P2. Cost - from 22 thousand rubles.

ZTE Nubia Z11 Max

If you follow the market for mobile devices, then you have probably heard about Nubia, whose smartphones of 2017 turn out to be extremely successful. The Nubia Z11 Max also did not disappoint, which was awarded the title of one of the best phablets in terms of price / quality ratio on the market.

The Z11 Max has a large 6 '' Super Amoled display with Full HD resolution, protected by Gorilla Glass 3. There is no fault with the screen, it is in no way inferior to the flagship of the market in the face of Galaxy 7, which uses a similar matrix. The performance of the smartphone also does not occupy - Snapdragon 652 and 4 GB of RAM allow you to use the smartphone to the maximum in all operating scenarios.

The Nubia Z11 Max has one of the best photo capabilities in its price segment. The main module is represented by the latest Sony IMX298 sensor with a resolution of 16 MP, which is covered with sapphire glass optics. In good lighting, it takes great pictures with good sharpness, detail and color balance. At night, Nubia shoots only slightly worse than the top flagships.

The battery capacity is 4000 mAh - not the most record figure, however, due to the low power consumption of the Super AMOLED display and processor, the smartphone lives for a long time. You can count on 2 days of confident operation. Fast charging technology is also supported, which allows you to fully charge your phone in 70 minutes.

Smartphones with a powerful battery and a good camera usually cost fabulous money, but the Nubia Z11 Max can be bought for an adequate 16 thousand rubles. This is not so much, considering that this model will be relevant for at least another 2-3 years.

Sometimes it seems that in their attempts to make smartphones thinner and faster, manufacturers forget about such an important parameter as battery life. Smartphones in their current form have existed for about 10 years, but their operating time between recharges remains approximately the same. During this time, processors have become much more powerful, screens are larger and sharper.

Fortunately, there are solid models that won't run out of steam in the middle of the day. Below is a list of five smartphones with high battery life by modern standards.


    The BlackBerry KeyOne smartphone is not perfect, and the developers made several compromises in it, especially in terms of performance and price. Where he is definitely uncompromising is in autonomy. A rather large battery with a capacity of 3505 mAh is located under the physical keyboard. This is noticeably more than what you get in or out.

    Together with not the fastest and most modest screen with a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 1620 x 1080 pixels, the device can work for a day and a half. It may not be the most outstanding result in this list, but it is the best for devices with a QWERTY keyboard. It's nice to know that you don't have to constantly plug your device into a power outlet to be able to type on this keyboard.

    On paper, it seems that HTC's flagship smartphone has average battery life. The battery capacity is 3,000mAh here, like in the Galaxy S8, and significantly less compared to 3,300mAh in the Galaxy S8. So it was surprising to find out that the HTC U11 is able to last longer than a day, even under heavy load. By the end of the evening, the charge level was around 40%, which is an excellent value for smartphones with similar hardware specifications.

    What makes this smartphone stand out is that there is no need to increase the size of the battery to achieve this result. This allows you to charge it faster. Thanks to the charging technology, you can charge the device from 22% to 69% in half an hour. Large batteries often take a long time to charge, so I am glad that HTC was able to achieve autonomy in other ways.

    If you want to own an iPhone but don't want to charge it often, the iPhone 7 Plus should be your choice. Compared to the Plus model, the developers have increased the battery size from 2750 mAh to 2900 mAh. The result is a device that can last more than a day. This is not the best in its class, Apple could have increased the battery capacity even more, but the result is already above average.

    It can be upgraded shortly after it spawns. As usual, the new generation of smartphones is expected to develop characteristics in all areas, including the battery.


    The best flagship smartphones range from $ 700- $ 800, and they have good, but not exceptional, battery life. It would seem that to get a device with maximum autonomy, you have to pay more than $ 1000. In fact, this is not the case. Smartphone Moto E4 Plus in terms of autonomy puts all rivals on the shoulder blades and costs $ 180.

    How is this possible at a price 4 times less than the flagships? It took a massive 5,000mAh battery, not the strongest Snapdragon 425 processor, and a modest 720p screen to achieve the high score. All this allows the device to work under high load for two days. With less frequent use, you can get up to three days. It is unlikely that you will find a smartphone that can compete with the budget model in terms of battery life. Of course, this is not the most powerful device, but its capabilities are enough for most users who are not gamers and are not addicted to virtual reality.


    If you liked the previous smartphone but wasn't fast enough for your needs, what should you do? The Moto Z2 Play is a mid-range alternative where battery life is slightly reduced, but speed is increased. The battery capacity is 3000 mAh, which provides up to two days of operation. In addition, the capacity of the battery can be increased, because it is a modular smartphone.

    Moto Mods attach to the back of your smartphone and can expand functionality. You can add wireless charging or external stereo speakers. There are several modules for (Incipio Offgrid, Mophie Juice Pack, Motorola TurboPower Pack) that bring an extra battery with them. Unfortunately, at a price of $ 80, they cannot be called cheap, but with them the autonomy of this smartphone will be the highest in this list.

    At the moment, these are five smartphones with the best autonomy. The mobile device market is constantly changing and the New Year sales season looms on the horizon. This means the emergence of many new models, which may include smartphones with good battery life.
