The Best Battery Life Phones For Browsing The Web For Every Budget


This is the international top 10 list. Click here to check out the US version.

What you're about to see is a regularly (most likely several times a month) updated list of the best smartphones for browsing the web that you can buy. They are the best because, according to GSMArena, they are the ones that withstand the most time surfing the web on a battery charge.

But you most likely won't be only surfing the web, so we've considered talking and watching videos too.

Like on our smartphone comparisons, these values are, after a full charge, what you're left with, after one hour of talking, one hour of watching videos, and three hours of web browsing.

If it's a thing you love to do, you should be picking up the first smartphone on the top 10.

If it's out of your budget, don't worry. You can also find your phone in any of the other seven top 10 lists.

Let's say you have a budget of $300 for your next phone. All you have to do is go to the "Under $300" list and pick the phone that has the highest score.

Obviously, performance is also critical when you're surfing the web. That's why it's a top 10 list. You should also consider other phones if you think the first one isn't suitable for you.

If you're still not confident, you can click on any articles close to that phone to see how they differentiate from other popular models.

Tips: Prices marked with ! are from renewed/refurbished/carrier-locked phones. You can also find links to Amazon, eBay, Best Buy, and Walmart (and updated prices) in any comparison article.
