Other phones are great for checking email and websites, but may not last long if you do a lot of other things. Consider how you will use your phone before choosing one.

The iPhone 16 offers excellent battery life. Based on testing, it can last around 22 hours of web browsing, 10 hours of streaming video, and 12 hours of gaming. This is largely due to the combination of a larger battery, the efficient A18 Pro chip, and optimized iOS software.
OnePlus 12
The OnePlus 12 offers a combination of powerful performance, a top-notch camera system, and long-lasting battery. It features a super-bright OLED display, an advanced Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, and a large 5,400 mAh battery with ultra-fast charging.

While the Zenfone 11 Ultra may be larger than its predecessors, its increased size allows it to fit a larger 5,500mAh battery. While not as large as the 6,000mAh battery found in the ROG Phone, the Zenfone 11 Ultra still delivers exceptional battery life.
In real-world use, the phone can easily last a full day, even with heavy usage. With moderate usage, users can expect 1.5 to 2 days of use on a single charge.
Galaxy S24 Ultra
The Galaxy S24 Ultra is also a great battery performer, scoring high in our web browsing and gaming tests. Unfortunately, all Samsung phones suffer when it comes to streaming YouTube videos – a very common use case that puts this phone’s overall score a little lower than the leaders in this area.
