2022 Smartphones with Longest Battery Life

Ever wondered which of the smartphones that released in 2022 has the longest battery life? So we looked at all our reviews and created a database to rank battery test scores.

From the Nothing Phone (1) to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4, these are phones that we reviewed here in YugaTech based on the battery life test.

Do note that this is based on their PCMark’s Work 3.0 Battery Test with the device set at 50% brightness, zero volume and in airplane mode.

2022 Smartphones based on PCMark’s Battery Test

Based on the smartphones we reviewed in 2022, these is the findings from the longest to shortest battery life:

Having a battery capacity of a whopping 12,000mAh, the DooGee S89 Pro comes in first with a time of 23 hours and 10 minutes – almost an entire day. Running on a Mediatek Helio P90 chipset, this device has a 6.3-inch display and 66W wired charging. It is a rugged smartphone so it should be able to survive any fall damage that it might take.

Moving on to the second on the list: the realme 9i. With a battery capacity of 5,000mAh, it lasted 22 hours and 26 minutes in our standardized test. The phone has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD screen and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680.

In third is the vivo T1 5G with a battery capacity of 4,700mAh. Having a battery life score of 19 hours and 12 minutes, the vivo device has a 6.6-inch display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778 5G chipset.

At the end of our list, we have the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11. Though it has a battery capacity of 5,000mAh, it only lasted 8 hours and 14 minutes in our PCMark battery test. The device runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 and has a 6.43-inch display.

For the standardized test that we do, we set controlled conditions and settings so that no other external factors will affect the power-efficiency of the device. As such, the primary factors that are tested here are the chipset, display size and resolution, OS, and battery capacity. It is by no means a perfect measure but it is the closest we can do to rank the battery efficiency of the devices we review.
