One of the most important factors when considering a new smartphone is its battery life. And while usage behavior will vary from person to person, there are several ways to create a standard form of measurement.

Higher battery capacity does not always equate to longer battery life. In this chart, we used PC Mark Battery Test to gather the approximated battery life of each of the smartphones included in this list (recent update is April 1, 2017).

* Update: We’re also including phablets and tablets into the list. We will also add our standard video loop test as a secondary data set.

We used PC Mark Battery Test as it is more or less standardized and simulates normal usage behavior like web browsing, photo and video playback, gaming and file manipulation. The resulting time is not exact but merely a representative of their relative performance with each other.

We will be updating and using this chart every month to include more devices as we test them.

Nokia 2 ?

Ren · 9 years ago

Hi Abe,

I’ve tried it on my S8+ and gave me a result of 6hrs and 7mins, with full brightness on and everything else turned off. I think it’s too low, should my brightness be set somewhere in the middle?

I’m really disappointed on how it performed given that some of the tests I’ve seen goes beyond 8hrs.
Don’t know if something’s wrong with the phone, but it’s only 2 weeks old.

-Ren

Ren · 9 years ago

Hi Abe,

Also follow up question,

Can you share me the settings used when you tested the s8+?
Wanted to try it again with your settings as my basis.

Thanks.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 9 years ago

50% brightness, 0% volume, airplane mode

Win ong · 9 years ago

Ahh, well looking forward for the next update of this article. Im looking at these two phones for my next smartphone upgrade. Anyway, more power to u guys ????

Win ong · 9 years ago

What is wrong with the zenfone 3 zoom thats why Pcmark battery test crashes? I read it in yugatech review too. Please also include the f3 plus. Im curious how it fares against the competition. Great job on this article by the way. It was very informative.

Win ong · 9 years ago

Ah ok thanks abe, is there something wrong with the zenfone 3 zoom thats why it crashes? Please also include the f3 plus. Im also curious how it fares against the rest. Im checking back on this article every now and then for reference. Great job guys. Hope u keep it up!

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 9 years ago

We’re still working on it. I think it’s a firmware issue that we’ve also encountered with a few other devices before.

Win ong · 9 years ago

Hi why is zenfone 3 zoom not in the list? I’m curious to see how it does as zenfone 3 can manage to get 13hrs with 3000 mah because of the snapdragon 625.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 9 years ago

We’re still working on it. The app crashes every time we try.

orlando · 9 years ago

wheres alcatel pixi 4 plus power?

jl · 9 years ago

how about oukitel k10000? Reviews say that it lasts for a week. This phone has a 10000 mah battery. I really want to see. I’m sure you would be excited to test such phone.

mel gaza · 10 years ago

how about the new asus zen 3 Laser ? :-)

NIlz · 10 years ago

So this means that Mediatek-based devices are really inefficient devices.

mel gaza · 10 years ago

how about the zenfone 3 max ??

Sephiroth · 10 years ago

Pls update this list including the Acer liquid Z630 and Acer Z630S

Kolokoy · 10 years ago

how about Firefly Mobile Intense Power?

huazyness · 10 years ago

please update the ranking.tnx!

Aeon Ranger · 10 years ago

Dami pang wala dito. Nokia and Windows Phones are not listed…

twocentbox · 10 years ago

As the title says, Android smartphones only.

Issei · 11 years ago

Sir Abe, maybe if you can add the prices of each phone so they can decide more on what to buy.. :-)

Crimson · 11 years ago

Can you add Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910S please? Thanks YugaTech

aa · 11 years ago

m1 note?

Reniel Estanislao · 11 years ago

What about Flare S3 Power?

WC · 11 years ago

My Cherry Mobile Flare S3 Power (The newer version with Lollipop pre-installed) logged 12 hours 46 minutes.

I don’t know how Yugatech test their devices, but I tested it with the following parameters: 50% brightness, Volume at max (it only plays during one portion of the test), no SIM, airplane mode).

Hope Yugatech could test this unit too, so that they can add it to the list, it’s the cheapest model with 4000 maH battery and with a decent CPU too.

Phone Collector · 11 years ago

Please add Flare 4, s4 and s4 plus!

baconbriefs · 11 years ago

Interested in the MAIA Smart Tab but its position on that list is discouraging, lol.

bambi lee · 11 years ago

try samsung e6

A follower of your blog · 11 years ago

Hahaha… Bias… Pinipili lang ang mga positive comments… Yung mga negative deleted… No wonder maraming nagsasabi na bias ang media

A follower of your blog · 11 years ago

Misleading.. Like you said, it does not necessarily mean that the higher the mAh the longer the battery… Why not do a survey and ask people which phone they think lasts longer?

brylle dave · 11 years ago

What about the lenovo A5000 4000mah?

karl · 11 years ago

cherry mobile s3 power/fuze s pls :)

Jhandie · 11 years ago

sana my full review ng O+ ultra

gosocialpartners · 11 years ago

how about sony xperia z2?

Kofty · 11 years ago

Anong baseline ginagamit nyo for the tests? Brightness? Volume? Wifi on? Data on? Etc.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

50% brightness, 0% volume, Airplane Mode.

yadzkie · 11 years ago

LG G3?

Vincee · 11 years ago

Cherry Mobile Fuze S user here. My smartphone should be included in this list.

Ronald · 11 years ago

Nice info.

jtin · 11 years ago

nakakatuwa naman po my nag rereview ng mga local phone tulad ng Cherry Mobile at myphone keep it up po maganda ang site na ito sa mga nag hahanap ng budget phone na matagal ang battery life

jp · 11 years ago

Where’s the LG G Pro 2?

Jay · 11 years ago

Nexus 5 user here. Mine lasts 6hrs with some internet use.

adam · 11 years ago

please add “Infinix hot note” for low price battery comparison

Yul · 11 years ago

I read on Engadget that Samsung Note 3 still is number 1 when it comes to battery life.

Jes · 11 years ago

Lenovo P70 scored 10 hours+ while K80 only 6 hours+ with same 4,000mah battery. Bakit kaya?

Nandra · 11 years ago

sure, u can compare each other. K80 with 5,5″ and also FHD.

bern · 11 years ago

Could you add Meizu M2 Note and Sony XPeria Z3 Compact?

Tan · 11 years ago

Ung Flare S3 Power… bakit di kasama sa ranks?

Tnerb Semaj Zednem · 11 years ago

Baka under benchmark test pa. Matagal kac ma lowbat :)

romeocharlie · 11 years ago

I’d say mas reliable ang loop test na ginagawa nina yugatech than pcmark.

deceiving talaga yung ZF2, actual users ang ranting bout its battery life..

BTT: you can add Xiaomi Mi3 and Mi4, although old models but worth the comparison.

JG · 11 years ago

you should include meizu m1 note

Christian · 11 years ago

Can you include Windows Phone at iPhones in your other articles? Sayang, it would be also interesting to see how those phones compare to others.

hope · 11 years ago

Talagang di man lang nakapasok ang myphone. Myphone Uno user ako tagal ng battery life kahit mag sound maghapon at nka wifi ako hanggang 5pm na yun. Talagang siguro may galit ang Yugatech sa Myphone.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

We’re working on them. Takes about 8-10 hours to do each battery test.

Marvin · 11 years ago

Where are some models of Cloudfone thrill?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

We’re working on them. Takes about 8-10 hours to do each battery test.

Yazzy · 11 years ago

Can you guys add other tests for battery life like video loop playback for example? This is a real world test and can give us a better idea on how long the battery of the device really last.

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

Yes, we are also compiling video loop test as well. Will add that to future updates.

Lenard · 11 years ago

eh asan ang z3 compact?

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 11 years ago

Just added it, you can check now.

Phillip · 11 years ago

Interesting.. nagulat ako sa ZF2, nasa bandang taas pero kung magcomment ang mga owners sobrang bilis daw ma-lowbatt

nyayay · 11 years ago

truelalu
try niyong pumunta sa zenfone forum ng asus halos reklamo sa battery ang nandun. totoo naman kahit sa review ng iba

jr · 11 years ago

im currently using zf2 ze551ml more or less 7 hrs of streaming using wifi, 5hrs lang pag naka data

Basa basa din pag may time · 11 years ago

Baka naman ze 551ml ang inutukoy mo?
Zenfone laser kasi nakalagay sa pangalawang spot. Talagang matipid sa battery dahil 410 sd ang procie at 720p lang ang reso kaya matagal malowbat
