List of smartphones with longest battery life

We all know that having a feature-packed smartphone means nothing if it has poor battery life that won’t last a day without being plugged in. If you’re out looking to upgrade your handset with great battery performance, you might want to check out this list of smartphones with the biggest batteries.

smartphones with longest battery life

The devices are ranked by FindTheBest according to their battery size and overall battery performance. As seen above, the phablet Samsung Galaxy Note 3 tops the chart with its 3200mAh battery despite its big display which should consume more juice. Falling in second place is LG G2 followed by the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4, with the iPhone 5s tailing the list.

One thing that we can conclude from this graph is that Android smartphones are better in conserving battery with its power-saving apps, both embedded and downloaded; and that battery performance from Windows and Apple phones are far cries compared to Android devices.

So again, if you’re on the prowl for a device that could work for long hours without the help of power banks then hopefully this graph would help.

Update: The source states that the data was derived not only from battery capacities but also from performance benchmarks that include specs of each device. Experiences from different testers were also taken into account.

* Data from manufacturer and carrier websites. Ratings from CNET, LAPTOP Mag, PC Mag, PC World, and WIRED. Performance benchmarks from Geekbench, DxOMark, and Rightware.

    Grabe ha, sobrang biased ng source article dito. Pili lang ang phones. Wala man Lumia 1520, 720 tsaka Lenovo P780. At wala rin LG G Flex.

    at hindi totoong mas pangit ang battery life sa Windows Phone at iOS. Except sa 1520 at 1320, maliliit lang talaga ang battery na sinasalang sa WP at iPhones.

    What an irritating way to start Easter Sunday.

    I knew it. A biased article favoring Android. As far as I know, Nokia Lumia 1520 and 1020 has an amazing performance regarding battery life. Before I clicked the link of this article from FB, I knew that the author will be biased to either Android or iPhone.

    I have both Samsung Note 3 (3200mAh), Sony Xperia C (2390mAh) and LG G Pro Lite (3140mAh) but based on experience LG G Pro Lite last longer (test parameters: open wifi, data connection on, bluetooth on, max. screen brightness, gps on, unli call and text, games). SO I dont know what is the basis of this post in terms of its ranking.

    Calm down, guys. The article is updated. My bad for not stressing that part out.

    • Avatar for TJ Dimacali TJ Dimacali says:

      Hi, Kevin!

      Thank you for updating the article, but the chart used to illustrate it is ONLY for battery capacity (mAh). The chart itself doesn’t in any way reflect any of the data that was supposedly “derived not only from battery capacities but also from performance benchmarks that include specs of each device”.

      Perhaps a link to the specific page where the above claim is made should clarify things? :)

    • Avatar for Kevin Bruce Francisco Kevin Bruce Francisco says:

      Hi TJ,

      No need to thank me, I didn’t do it just for you. Anyway did you go to the source? Because it’s there like I’ve mentioned on the update.

      It’s funny how you’re almost saying that what the author wrote is something he made up and without basis. I believe you’re also a tech editor, correct? I’m surprised you don’t have respect for the people who are in the same industry.

      Btw I might not be able to reply for a while after this as it is still a holiday and I have better things to do than sit in front of the computer.

      For your case, however, I’m sure you have time. Try checking it again, perhaps wear the glasses this time.

      Thanks :)

    • Avatar for TJ Dimacali TJ Dimacali says:

      Hi again, Kevin!

      Yes, I did click on the link and I did go to the source, but it just linked to a larger version of the chart. I couldn’t find where it says that “the data was derived not only from battery capacities but also from performance benchmarks that include specs of each device.”

      Of course, I could be wrong and that’s why I messaged again here to clarify.

      At huwag mo sana akong insultuhin kasi hindi rin kita iniinsulto. Unlike other commenters in this thread, I never berated you or called you names. All my questions are valid ones and not meant to put you or anyone else down.

      Abe is a good friend and, in fact, Yugatech is an official news partner of our site. I have always thought highly of Abe and Yugatech as a whole, which is why it behooved me to comment on a glaring factual error on what I think is an otherwise excellent site.

      In short: maghunusdili ka at alamin mong maigi kung sino ang mga totoong kaaway mo at kakampi mo.

      It looks like I’m not the one who’s shortsighted here.

    • Avatar for TJ Dimacali TJ Dimacali says:

      Kevin,

      Also, I NEVER said nor implied “that what the author wrote is something he made up and without basis.”

      All my comments were valid observations and polite requests for clarification.

      Please don’t put words into my mouth, nor read malice where there is none.

      Thank you.

      very well said TJ…

    • Avatar for bliss bliss says:

      Now i see the difference between a tech editor and a tech blogger…=)

    • Avatar for G2 G2 says:

      What a very condescending reply from the author.

      TJ was obviously very polite in his post and didn’t even insult you in any of his replies.

      You don’t just need glasses boy, you need to go back to your Reading and Comprehension Skills 101.

      Also a tech blogger saying they have better things to do than sit in front of a computer is like a fish saying it has better things to do than swim in the ocean.

      I’ve got nothing against the author.. this is a good article, on the other hand, di nga lang maayos mag reply sa mga commenters..

      ayaw ata na masita sya or macorrect?

      anyway.. just my opinion :)

    Then where could this phone be ranked?:)

  14. Avatar for Sean Sean says:

    Stupid post. Just because the phone has a higher battery capacity doesn’t automatically mean that it has a long battery life. Do your research first before naming the article something that it isn’t. My lumia 520 has a 1430 mAh, but that doesn’t mean that it has a shorter battery life than an iPhone.

    • Avatar for agree agree says:

      what do you expect from the author? Have you seen his past post? Only read post from Abe.

    Wow. Galing ha. Sa pagkakaalam ko mas matipid ang note 2 sa s4 at z. Bt wala jan. -,-

    This is it.. I’ll forever block this site dahil sa misleading and inaccurate articles.. kokopya na nga lang, mali mali pa..

  17. Avatar for mermo mermo says:

    high capacity =/= longer battery life…moto g for example has an excellent battery life even with a 2k+ mAh battery…

  18. Avatar for TJ Dimacali TJ Dimacali says:

    Hi!

    I just need to clarify that the chart only shows battery CAPACITY (in mAh), not battery life.

    mAh ratings are meaningless if you don’t take into account other factors such as screen size and processor speed.

    Also, the original chart itself clearly says “Battery Capacity”. I don’t understand why the author had to re-word it into “battery life”.

    Just my two cents :)

    • Avatar for mermo mermo says:

      very well said…this could be very misleading to potential buyers who seek BATTERY LIFE rather than BATTERY CAPACITY…

    • Avatar for wp wp says:

      onga capacity lang yung chart nito and there’s no data showing the actual battery life of these devices. pathetic article.

  19. Avatar for George George says:

    The NL 1520 has 3400 mAh. Did I miss something? “that battery performance from Windows and Apple phones are far cries compared to Android devices.”

  20. Avatar for ronsterrr ronsterrr says:

    wow, di sinama ang lumia 1520. According to gsmarena, 107 hrs ang endurance rating nun, habang 75 hrs lang si note 3.

    may namiss ba ako o sadyang biased lang yung report?

    • Avatar for anonymous anonymous says:

      you’re right about that, thats why this article makes me wonder kung yung source ba yung bias, if yes then why is this thing still posted here… Or hindi lang alam ni author yung about dun sa test ng gsmarena?…

    • Avatar for Siphone Siphone says:

      Having big battery capacity does not equate to long battery life. If the hardware and the software are power-hungry, the battery life will definitely be affected. I agree to the posts, I have the Lumia 1520 and the battery life really lasts long.

    • Avatar for Siphone Siphone says:

      The article is really misleading…
