Top-10

The battery life of a smartphone is an important indicator, and it is not always possible to evaluate it by the battery capacity. Often models with the same battery capacity, but with different processors, screens and from different manufacturers hold the charge differently. In this selection, we have collected models of different price ranges, but they have one thing in common — a long battery life.

Motorola G60

Motorola G60 is a large smartphone: the IPS display diagonal of 6.8 inches paired with not the thinnest frames results in a giant weighing 225 grams.

For ease of use, the manufacturer made the aspect ratio of the screen 20.5:9, that is, the screen of the model is longer than that of most competitors, even with 120 Hz support.

У Motorola G60:

• Snapdragon 732G processor;
• the amount of RAM is 6 GB, and the built-in memory is 128 GB;
• there is a slot for microSD memory cards.

All this allows the device to work quickly and smoothly. You can even play modern games at medium graphics settings.

The built-in battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh supports TurboPower 20 charging and is compatible with Qualcomm Quick Charge 4. Battery life is 2-3 days depending on the load.

The Motorola G60 has three cameras: a 108MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera. Photo quality is decent for a device in this price range.

Pluses: battery life, performance, good cameras, 120 Hz display refresh rate.

Cons: large dimensions.

realme Narzo 50A

The realme Narzo 50A has a 6000 mAh battery and supports 18 W charging. With moderate use, you can count on 2-3 days of work, charging time — 2.5 hours.

On a smartphone:

• processor MediaTek Helio G85;
• 4 GB of RAM, built-in memory of 64 GB or 128 GB;
• there is a slot for microSD memory cards.

Performance is sufficient even for modern games at medium graphics settings. In normal use, it works stably and nimbly.

The 6.5-inch display uses IPS technology, with a resolution of only 1600×720 pixels. The quality is not bad, but in sunny weather there may be a lack of brightness, a similar problem exists with competitors that cost comparable money.

There are three cameras: a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth camera. The main camera is of good quality for a budget device.

Pluses: excellent battery life, good performance, smooth operation.

Cons: small screen resolution.

Tecno POVA-3

The bigger the phone, the bigger the battery can be placed in the case. Probably, the developers of Tecno POVA-3 were guided by this logic. In terms of size, this is a large, even very large smartphone – 173 x 78.5 x 9.4 mm (height x width x thickness).

The diagonal of the display is 6.9 inches, the resolution is 2460×1080 pixels, made according to IPS technology. There is support for a refresh rate of 90 Hz, which positively gives smooth operation of the interface.

In Tecno POVA-3:

• RAM 6 GB, and built-in 128 GB;
• there is a possibility of expansion thanks to memory cards.

Performance is sufficient for both normal use and modern games, if you choose lower than average graphics settings. The smoothness of the interface is not bad.

If you don’t use your smartphone fanatically, the battery life is 2 or even 3 days. All thanks to a battery with a capacity of 7000 mAh. It is not easy to charge such a capacious battery, but the model has 33 W charging support, thanks to which the gadget can be charged from 0 to 100% in 2 hours.

A medium-level camera is suitable for an undemanding user.

Pluses: phenomenal autonomy, display refresh rate of 90 Hz, support for fast charging.

Cons: large dimensions and weight.

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G

Samsung Galaxy A53 5G is a mid-range smartphone. The model has an Exynos 1280 processor, which is enough for an ordinary user, but it will not work to play demanding games at high graphics settings.

At the same time, the battery life is pleasing. If you use your smartphone very actively and play games, then you will have to charge your smartphone in a day. If you use the device moderately, it will be enough for 2 days of work.

The Samsung Galaxy A53 5G has 25W charging support. It cannot be called fast, but the phone will be charged in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The smartphone has a good Super AMOLED display:

• 6.5 inches diagonal;
• resolution 1080×2400 pixels;
• there is support for a refresh rate of 120 Hz.

On the back there is a scattering of cameras: main, ultra-wide-angle, macro and a camera for the correct work of blurring the background.

If the macro camera is outright nonsense and usually no one will use it, then the main and wide-angle are quite good for a smartphone for this money. The front camera is also of excellent quality.

Pluses: display with 120 Hz support, presence of protection against water and dust according to IP67 class, good front camera.

Cons: not the best gaming performance.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is a smartphone that sells in large numbers, and for good reason.

• RAM 4 GB or 6 GB;
• built-in memory 64 GB or 128 GB;
• there is a slot for microSD memory cards;
• built-in battery 5000 mAh;
• support for fast charging with a power of 33 W.

The processor is not a gaming processor, it is suitable only for simple games, top games even at medium graphics settings are too difficult for it.

In everyday use, the phone works smoothly and for a long time. With moderate use, you will get 2 days of work, and you can discharge it in a day only in games.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 has a 6.43-inch display, an AMOLED matrix and support for a 90 Hz refresh rate — all this gives an average image quality.

The set of cameras is standard as for modern smartphones. Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 is capable of delighting with high-quality photos during the day, but it will be difficult to take a good photo at dusk and in the dark.

Pluses: popular model, good battery life, display refresh rate 90 Hz.

Cons: display and camera quality.

OnePlus Ace

OnePlus Ace, also known as the OnePlus 10R for the global market, is not a typical smartphone for this brand.

It has lost the physical switch for sound modes and does not have a distinctive design, but it cannot be said that this is critical.

The device works quickly thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 8100-Max processor. RAM 8 GB or 12 GB, built-in 128 GB, 256 GB or 512 GB, no memory card support. Thanks to such characteristics, it can be safely taken by fans of playing modern games with maximum graphics settings.

The diagonal of the OLED display is 6.7 inches and support for the refresh rate of 120 Hz provides excellent picture quality.

The smartphone has a built-in battery of 4500 mAh, there is support for fast charging with a power of 150 W, which will charge the smartphone in less than 20 minutes.

Taking into account such a fast charging, which is supplied in the kit, the OnePlus Ace can be safely recommended to those who want a device with a long working time.

The set of cameras is standard: the main one is 50 MP, the ultra-wide-angle one is 8 MP and the macro camera is 2 MP. But the quality of the photos is noticeably higher than average.

Pluses: performance, fast charging, photo quality.

Cons: design.

Xiaomi Redmi 10A

Xiaomi Redmi 10A is a smartphone that is suitable for those who want to buy an inexpensive device.

In the model:

• the MediaTek Helio G25 processor, which is quite old, but it is a budget smartphone;
• several variants of RAM and user memory: 2/32 GB, 3/32 GB, 3/64 GB, 4/64 GB, 4/128 GB and 6/128 GB (we advise you to pay attention to the three latest versions);
• you can expand the memory using a microSD card.

Redmi 10A works leisurely, but copes with the main tasks. You can play games only if they are as simple as possible, this is not a gaming gadget at all.

The smartphone has a built-in battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh and a complete charger with a capacity of 10 W. The time for a full charge is a little more than 4 hours.

Xiaomi Redmi 10A can easily work for 2 days, and this is not the limit. By modern standards, this is an excellent indicator.

The diagonal of the IPS display is 6.53 inches, the screen is average, the resolution is only 1600×720 pixels, but all this is expected for an inexpensive device. The smartphone has a camera, but the photo quality is at the initial level.

Pluses: price, many versions of operating system and user memory, battery life.

Cons: long charging time, no NFC.

OnePlus 9R

Usually, performance smartphones don’t impress with battery life, but the OnePlus 9R is an exception to the rule. It easily lives 1.5-2 days of fairly active use.

Of course, if you play games, you can discharge it much faster, but this applies to any smartphone. You can charge the device using the 65W Warp Charge fast charging kit in 45 minutes.

Thanks to the Snapdragon 870 processor and 8 GB or 12 GB of RAM, everything works very nimbly, this is facilitated by the screen with support for 120 Hz.

Smoothness and speed are indisputable advantages of OnePlus 9R. The model is suitable for those who like to spend time playing modern and demanding games.

The smartphone has a lot of cameras: four installed on the back — 48 MP main, 16 MP ultra-wide-angle, 5 MP macro and 2 MP monochrome.

Monochrome and macro cameras are needed rather for quantity, but the main and ultra-wide-angle ones are of quite decent quality. The quality of the photos of the 16 MP front camera will satisfy most users.

Pluses: performance, smooth operation, fast charging speed, high-quality display with 120 Hz support, premium case materials.

Cons: no moisture protection.

realme 9

realme 9 is a new product with a 5,000 mAh battery, which, paired with the Snapdragon 680 processor, provides battery life of up to 2 days.

It is quite difficult to discharge this smartphone in a day, you have to try very hard. The gadget supports charging with a power of 33 W, which can charge the phone in 1 hour and 15 minutes.

The model does not have the best processor, so you can comfortably play only simple games or change the graphics settings to low in the top ones. For everyday use, the power is enough.

The amount of RAM is 6 GB or 8 GB, and the built-in 128 GB with the possibility of expanding it using microSD memory cards.

The AMOLED display with a resolution of 6.4 inches supports a refresh rate of 90 Hz, so the interface works smoothly.

Among the features, it is worth noting the absence of NFC, so the model will not suit everyone.

Pluses: display with 90 Hz refresh rate support, price.

Cons: no NFC.

Samsung Galaxy A33

The Samsung Galaxy A33 is basically a slightly simplified version of the Samsung Galaxy A53, while the simplifications only affected the cameras.

Otherwise, we get a decent mid-level smartphone that has:

• Samsung Exynos 1280 processor;
• the amount of RAM is 6 GB, and the built-in memory is 128 GB;
• it is possible to expand with the help of memory cards.

Samsung Galaxy A33 copes even with demanding games, albeit with average graphics settings.

The battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh allows you to forget the need to recharge the device for two days. Yes, you can try to discharge it in a day, but if you play games or watch videos non-stop.

The Samsung Galaxy A33 is equipped with four cameras: a 48 MP main camera, an 8 MP ultra-wide angle camera, a 5 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. The photo quality is average, you usually expect a phone for this money to shoot better.

The charging time of a 20 W power supply unit is 1 hour 45 minutes, if you use wireless charging, it will take less than 2 hours to charge it.

Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max is a top-of-the-line smartphone with a performance upgrade for 2-3 years. It works so smoothly and dexterously that it is difficult to compare it with anything else.

The model has a high-quality large OLED screen with a diagonal of 6.7 inches and supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which results in a very high-quality picture.

The smartphone’s cameras are flagship and one of the best, if not the best, on the market.
