The Best Battery Life Phones For Every Budget (2022)

The Best Battery Life Phones For Every Budget


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

These are the best smartphones at keeping you online and connected.

According to GSMArena, these are the most dependable phones when it comes to battery life.

If you've been at one of our smartphone comparisons, you know that these values are, after a full charge, what you're left with, after one hour of talking, one hour of watching videos, and one hour of web browsing.

But if you actually also care about charging speeds (because the battery capacity isn't everything), then check out the links at the end of any of these lists. There's something there for you too.

You should obviously be picking up the first smartphone in the top 10 list, but if it's out of your budget, don't worry. You can also find your next phone in any of the other seven top 10 lists.

These lists are frequently updated because prices also change very often.

Like I've just mentioned, battery life isn't everything. 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.

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.
