Rating of phones with powerful batteriescompiled by our foreign colleagues who tested many new products in three key aspects: battery life for simple tasks such as web browsing, battery life when playing videos and, finally, battery performance in 3D games.
Bloggers divided this collection into two parts:the first is dedicated to high-end flagship phones, and the second — budgetary. Budget phones may not have such fast chips and impressive cameras, but they are traditionally very good in terms of battery life.
So, without further ado, let's take a look at the phones with the best battery life!
Top flagships with the best battery

Despite the fact that the iPhone 12 Pro Max hasslightly smaller battery than last year's 11 Pro Max, its battery test results are generally about equal or slightly better. The only significant downside to this phone is its surprisingly low gaming performance, so we can't recommend it for gaming at this time. Plus, it does a good job of social media usage, web browsing and video streaming, even outperforming the 11 Pro Max in the web browsing test.
