The Top Smartphones With The Best Battery and Smallest Sizes


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

Phones seem to be getting bigger and bigger each passing year, but not everyone likes to carry huge devices around, especially if they don't value a large display.

The issue is that usually, tinier devices also means smaller batteries.

Pay no mind. I have the perfect top 10 list for you, even if you don't want to empty your wallet, searching for every last change you can find, so you can buy your next phone.

These are the smartphones with the best battery life, sorted by their size. But if you prefer the other way around and what you really want is a small device with satisfactory battery life, then check the links down below.

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.
