The Top 5 Smartphones With The Best Battery Life
Battery Life is a very key aspect to be considered while buying a smartphone. The last thing any of us wants for our smartphones is to run out of juice when we need it the most. The smartphones in the list that we are presenting you with have the best battery life in the market.
Samsung Galaxy J3:
First on our list, we have the Samsung Galaxy J3. The Samsung Galaxy J3 has a removable 2,600mAh battery. A half-hour of Minecraft drains 9% of the battery. This suggests that it will manage around five and a half hours of gaming. Streaming video over Wi-Fi skims 12% off the battery in an hour. The Samsung Galaxy J3 gobbles up power far quicker than other phones. The J3 doesn’t include an auto brightness setting. So for much of the time the screen will be brighter than is needed. This drains more of the battery. While a slightly over-bright display will look fine, a slightly dim one will probably prove annoying. The Samsung Galaxy J3 has a pretty amazing battery life.
OnePlus 3T:
Next up, we have the OnePlus 3T. OnePlus has upgraded the battery to 3,400mAh over the 3,000mAh in the OnePlus 3. That’s a 13% increase. The OnePlus 3T could make it a day even under more intense usage. An hour of Netflix streaming with the display set to 60% brightness also only sees a drop of 9%. This is pretty good. Half an hour of Asphalt 8 takes about 7% of the battery down. OnePlus has its own quick charging technology. They call it Dash Charge. This is dependent on using the supplied OnePlus Dash Charge USB wall adaptor and OnePlus USB-C cable. The reason for this is because all of the temperature regulation happens in the adaptor itself. This means only thermal regulated current reaches the phone. So it shouldn’t overheat or have to throttle its charging. If you are using the OnePlus 3T while it charges, the charge rate won’t need to slow down. Dash Charge means that you don’t strictly have to leave the OnePlus 3T plugged in overnight. Topping up the power quickly becomes an option. But charging through a non-Dash charger can be a little slow. So you may have to carry the Dash charger with you.
Huawei Mate 9:
On the third position on this list, we have the Huawei Mate 9. The 4,000mAh battery in the Mate 9 is still non-removable. It is a strong performer, with tremendous standby times. It has an impressive ability to sip power when you are streaming music or films. An hour of HD video streaming on Netflix consumes about 7%. This is the best you will see this year on a phone. Listening to Spotify takes about 4%. Huawei has also finally added quick charging. It is another proprietary format like OnePlus’ Dash Charge. Using the supplied power brick, the Huawei Mate 9 can be powered from 0% to 100% in about 1hr 10mins. It takes about 4 hours to charge with a Samsung Galaxy S7 charger. While it will take about 3 hours with the block that comes with the Pixel XL. There are three messages that come up when you are charging: Charging, Fast Charging and Super Charging. The first is when you are using a low-powered plug, while Fast Charging popped up when you use a 2A plug. Super Charging seems to be reserved for the included Huawei power supply.
Samsung Galaxy S7:
The S6 had a 2,600mAh battery, but with S7 Samsung has upgraded it to 3,000mAh. This makes a huge difference. This is still certainly a charge-every-night device. The S7 will leave you with around 10-15% battery life at the end of the day, if you have high daily usage. Like the S7 Edge, the battery drops suddenly during intensive tasks. It has fantastic standby time, though. There are a few power-saving modes to choose from if you want to try and get more from the battery. The regular ‘Power saving mode’ adds an extra hour. While the ‘Ultra power saving mode’ doubles the time you can keep on going for. It does turn everything monochrome, though. There is fast charging too. By doing that, the phone will fully juice up in just over an hour.
Moto Z Play:
Last on the list, we have Moto Z Play. Pairing a fairly middling processor with a gigantic battery results in some pretty amazing battery use figures. It’s important to understand the limitations of Motorola’s own 50-hour battery life claim. It’s realistic if you’re a light user. But it’s not if you’re a moderate or heavy user. On light-use days, you could end the day with as much as 70% battery remaining. This is enough for an easy two full working days. On a moderate-use day, you might be left with around 40% battery. Playing Netflix at half brightness for an hour while connected to a Wi-Fi network uses up just 7% of the battery. It’s the best thing about this phone and is the most compelling reason to buy it over the slightly cheaper OnePlus 3.
