If you’re searching for a phone with a long battery life, you’re in the right place. We’ve tested some of the latest models to bring you the top 10 phones with the best battery backup. We conducted our battery tests under standardised conditions using the PCMark battery test and selected the ones that lasted over 10 hours on a single charge. Each phone was fully charged and used continuously until the battery was completely drained. The test simulates real-world usage with web browsing, video streaming, gaming, and more. Screen brightness was set to medium, and all devices were connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Here’s what we found.
Samsung Galaxy XCover 7
Battery Life: 18 hours 45 minutes
The Galaxy XCover 7 is the champion of battery endurance. It easily tops our list with an impressive 18 hours and 45 minutes. This is one of those rare smartphones that allows you to replace the battery, just like the good old days. Interestingly, removing the battery doesn’t shut down the device; it continues running, giving you a 10-second window to swap batteries. Isn’t that fascinating?
Vivo T3
Battery Life: 15 hours 35 minutes
Second, the Vivo T3 offers 15 hours and 35 minutes of battery life. The smartphone has the standard 5,000mAh battery but supports 44W fast charging. It seems like a reliable device for someone who wants a companion for work and play.
Vivo V30e
Battery Life: 14 hours 20 minutes
The third contender is again from the house of Vivo, which has 14 hours and 20 minutes of battery life. The V30e packs a 5,500mAh battery and supports 44W wired charging, making it a dependable device throughout the day.
Xiaomi 14
Battery Life: 14 hours 2 minutes
As a fourth contender, we have the latest flagship from Xiaomi. It lasted 14 hours and 2 minutes during the PCMark battery test, which compliments the device’s best-in-class optics and high performance.
Realme P1
Battery Life: 13 hours 29 minutes
Here comes the latest budget offering from Realme. It could hold up to 13 hours and 29 minutes of usage. It packs the usual 5,000mAh battery complemented with 45W fast charging support. But the phone’s optimised power management caters to users who need a durable phone that won’t let them down during long hours of use.
itel S24
Battery Life: 13 hours 12 minutes
The Iitel S24 is another budget contender on this list. It lasted 13 hours and 12 minutes on a single charge. It has the same 5,000mAh battery, lacks fast charging support, and only supports 18W wired charging.
Google Pixel 8a
Battery Life: 13 hours 10 minutes
The battery life of Pixel devices has been a topic of discussion among users and reviewers. However, here we are with the company’s latest mid-range offering, which was able to withstand 13 hours and 10 minutes of the PCMark battery test.
POCO F6
Battery Life: 12 hours 39 minutes
POCO devices are known for delivering the maximum price-to-performance ratio and are usually targeted at power devices. During the test, the F6 ran for 12 hours and 39 minutes. Thankfully, the company bundles a 120W charging adapter in the box.
Samsung Galaxy F55
Battery Life: 11 hours 4 minutes
The latest mid-ranger from the tech major stood for 11 hours and 4 minutes during the test. It was launched recently and created a lot of buzz, thanks to its vegan leather finish and orange shade.
Vivo T3x
Battery Life: 10 hours 48 minutes
Completing our list with the Vivo T3x. It was able to hold for 10 hours and 48 minutes. It may not top the chart, but it still offers respectable endurance. Interestingly, the T3x packs a massive 6,000mAh battery and supports 44W wired charging.
