What good is the world’s most technically advanced phone if it can barely make it through a day on a full charge? Think about it. Your phone’s lenses may put full-frame DSLR cameras to shame and shine on with advanced neural processing units that support the latest generative AI bots; but without good battery life, none of it matters.

The ROG Phone has always been one of the top contenders when it comes to Android smartphones with the best battery life and for 2024, the ROG Phone 8 series is once again in the running. Surprisingly though, the ROG Phone 8 Pro loses out on sheer hardware might in this regard.
Unlike its predecessors that came with massive 6,000mAh batteries, the ROG Phone 8’s battery is downgraded to 5,500mAh. However, Asus weaves magic with its software optimisation. The latest version of ROG UI with Android 14 can intelligently sip power when needed, thereby putting less stress on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. As a result, the ROG Phone 8 passes with flying colours on benchmark tests.
When the battery depletes entirely, you have 65W wired charging to fill up the battery in under 45 minutes. The phone also gets support for 15W wireless charging, which is a huge convenience for premium smartphone buyers.

The OnePlus 12 provides the best of all worlds and for our readers concerned with battery life, it doesn’t disappoint them either. With a sizeable 5,400mAh capacity battery supporting a power-efficient yet meaty combination of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and the 6.8-inch 2K LTPO OLED display that can vary its refresh rates between 1Hz and 120Hz, this phone can easily make it past a whole day with medium workloads.
Even better, once you deplete the battery juice, you have a blazing-fast 100W SuperVOOC wired charger to fill up the battery in under 30 minutes. You also get 50W wireless charging, if you fancy a life without entanglements.

If the OnePlus 12 doesn’t fit your budget, how about considering the OnePlus 12R? We admit that you lose out on the latest generation performance with its dated Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip and a lower resolution OLED display. Still, despite the minor losses in power efficiency, the OnePlus 12R with a slightly larger 5,500mAh capacity battery can deliver almost the same kind of stamina as its pricier cousin.
You also get the same 100W SuperVOOC wired charging to refill the battery from dead to 100 per cent in under 30 minutes. Sadly, the lower price eliminates the wireless charging option and you lose out on a versatile camera system.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is an obvious name in this list considering that it is Android’s poster boy for 2024, just like its predecessor. Although this grand Samsung phone usually garners headlines for its advanced generative AI features and its splendid rear camera system, readers concerned with battery life will be relieved to know that the phone’s 5,000mAh battery paired with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip can easily surpass an entire day on moderate usage and even leave some juice for the next.
Sadly, the exorbitant price still doesn’t mean you get a blisteringly fast charger. However, the 45W wired charger can fill up the battery from empty to 100 per cent in just over an hour. You also get support for 15W wireless charging, which is slow but useful for topping up power when the need arises.

The only reason you would consider a Galaxy S24 Plus over the Galaxy S24 Ultra is for its affordable price tag. Granted that you lose out on the high-end camera system, the S Pen and that fast Snapdragon chip, but the Galaxy S24 Plus doesn’t disappoint as a premium smartphone. Most importantly, it doesn’t disappoint in terms of battery life despite having a slightly smaller 4,900mAh capacity cell.
Paired with the Exynos 2400 chip and a power-efficient 6.7-inch 1.5K resolution LTPO OLED display, the Galaxy S24 Plus can make it through an entire day and if used cautiously, you can make it to half of the next day. Similar to the S24 Ultra, you get standard 45W wired and 15W wireless charging solutions.

Midrange phones with their less capable chipsets usually tend to be more power efficient than power-hungry flagships. However, the Realme 12 Pro Plus proves that you can have a fancy and well-equipped phone without losing out on great battery life and other niceties.
While the 5,000mAh battery on the Realme 12 Pro Plus is on par with most modern-day Android smartphones, the 4nm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chip paired with Realme’s well-tuned Realme UI 5 does a good job with power consumption, promising an entire day’s stamina with moderate usage. Once the battery depletes, you get a fast 65W wired charger to fill it up in under 45 minutes.

Phones wearing a Redmi Note badge have always left lasting impressions but over the last few years, they lost out to the competition in terms of following the latest trends. Now that the Redmi Note 13 Pro Plus is out, Xiaomi seems to have caught up with its rivals and gives the midrange segment a much-needed hero phone that’s good at everything.
As a package, the Note 13 Pro Plus is well-equipped and with its curved edge display as well as vegan leather back, it looks nice too. For our readers concerned about battery life, Xiaomi has given it a large 5,000mAh capacity cell that promises to last an entire day on a full charge, which is on par with what you get from phones in this price range.
Although you miss out on wireless charging, Xiaomi compensates for it with a blazing-fast 120W wired charger that promises to fill up the battery in less than 20 minutes.

The Poco X6 is surprisingly affordable considering all the specifications on offer. With a swift yet frugal Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 chipset that hosts Xiaomi’s well-tuned HyperOS skin based on Android 14, the Poco X6 promises good battery life. Its 5,100mAh capacity cell can deliver a day’s worth of stamina with moderate usage and with a more conservative approach, it is possible to stretch it up to two days.
When the need to refill the battery arises, the Poco X6 relies on its 67W wired charger to fill it up from 0-100 per cent in under 45 minutes.

If you are staring at the absolute bottom end of the smartphone world, the Motorola Moto G34 emerges as a good pick. Not only do you get 5G connectivity, courtesy of the Snapdragon 695 chip, but the Moto G34 with its 5,000mAh battery and a well-optimised version of Android 14 promises to last a whole day with moderate usage.
Sadly, you have to rely on the slow 20W wired charger to fill up the battery, which is a small price to pay for getting an entry-level phone. On the plus side, you have a 120Hz refresh rate LCD display, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and IP52 certification for water and dust ingress protection.
