How we picked
We rank every phone that is on sale and was announced in the last two years by its battery score: battery capacity, wired and wireless charging speed, and reverse charging. iPhones get a capacity bonus because battery-life tests show they run longer on the same battery size. Only phones officially sold in the US or Europe are included. Scores are calculated from specs, so every phone is judged by the same rules. Learn more about how we rate phones.
What to look for
Capacity is only part of it
An efficient chip and screen matter as much as mAh. That's why an iPhone can last as long as an Android phone with a noticeably bigger battery.
New batteries hold more
Silicon-carbon batteries now fit 6,000 to 7,000 mAh into normal-size phones. If battery life is your top priority, look for one.
Fast charging saves the day
A phone that charges from empty to full in 30 to 40 minutes makes up for a smaller battery. Check whether a charger comes in the box.
FAQ
Which phone has the best battery life right now?
Right now it's the Blackview Xplore 6, with a PhoneRanked score of 8.5 out of 10 and a battery score of 9.4. The POCO F9 Ultra and the OnePlus 15 round out the top three.
Is a bigger battery always better?
Mostly, but not always. Chip efficiency, screen size and software also affect battery life. Use the battery score as a starting point and check real-world tests for your top picks.
Where are phones with 10,000 mAh or bigger batteries?
Almost all of them are rugged phones. They can last several days on a charge, but they often weigh 400 to 650 g, and their makers rarely publish the camera details we need for an overall score, so they aren't ranked here. You'll find them in our ranking of the best rugged phones, where battery counts for 35% of the score.
How often is this list updated?
Automatically. When we add a phone or update its specs, the list is rebuilt within a few minutes. The date at the top of the page shows the last update.
