One of the most important factors when considering a new smartphone is its battery life. And while usage behavior will vary from person to person, there are several ways to create a standard form of measurement.
Higher battery capacity does not always equate to longer battery life. In this chart, we used PC Mark Battery Test to gather the approximated battery life of each of the smartphones included in this list (we have over 20 and we’re adding more as we speak).
| Battery Capacity | PCMark Battery Test | |
|---|---|---|
| O+ Ultra | 4,000mAh | 11 hours, 24 minutes |
| Alcatel Flash Plus | 3,500mAh | 10 hours, 23 minutes |
| Lenovo P70 | 4,000mAh | 10 hours, 16 minutes |
| Samsung Galaxy S6 | 2,580mAh | 8 hours, 53 minutes |
| Huawei Honor 4C | 2,550mAh | 8 hours, 16 minutes |
| Zenfone 2 ZE550ML | 3,000mAh | 8 hours, 6 minutes |
| Sony XPeria Z3 | 3,100mAh | 8 hours, 0 minutes |
| Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge | 2,600mAh | 7 hours, 46 minutes |
| Huawei P8 | 2,680mAh | 7 hours, 21 minutes |
| HTC One M8 | 2,600mAh | 7 hours, 8 minutes |
| Zenfone 2 ZE551ML | 3,000mAh | 7 hours, 7 minutes |
| Lenovo A7000 | 2,900mAh | 7 hours, 6 minutes |
| LG G4 | 3,000mAh | 6 hours, 25 minutes |
| Lenovo K3 Note | 3,000mAh | 6 hours, 24 minutes |

| Huawei Mate 7 | 4,100mAh | 5 hours, 31 minutes |
| Huawei Honor 6 Plus | 3,500mAh | 4 hours, 39 minutes |
| Starmobile Knight Vision | 2,450mAh | 4 hours, 35 minutes |
| O+ 360 HD | 2,000mAh | 4 hours, 20 minutes |
| Google Nexus 5 | 2,300mAh | 4 hours, 13 minutes |
| Cherry Mobile Flare XL | 2,300mAh | 3 hours, 55 minutes |
We used PC Mark Battery Test as it is more or less standardized and simulates normal usage behavior like web browsing, photo and video playback, gaming and file manipulation. The resulting time is not exact but merely a representative of their relative performance with each other.
We will be updating and using this chart every month to include more devices as we test them.
