Phones with the best battery life (2018 edition) (CNET Top 5)

Who doesn't want a phone that lasts all day?

[CNET]

What phone do you have, how long have you had it, and how is the battery holding up??

[OMBReviews]

Clearly ignoring budget and mid range phones with better battery life...shame

[ThexBorg]

No word on how they were tested, phone settings, screen brightness...? Just another 'top 5' that any Tuuber can make by choosing arbitrary devices?

[CrimsonArzuros]

The video was good but it felt more like, "Top 5 Flagships with the Best Battery Life."

[ricisipjr]

More like a very misleading infomercial.

No Xiaomi phone on the list? Go do your research...

Where do you guys get these numbers from? My Note 8 never passed 7 hour mark.

[MrAndrew]

Can't get the S8 Active in Australia or the Nex as far as I know. Not sure about the KeyTwo. If I want the Note 9 Optus tell me I have to pay $99 fee for a mid-plan change over to a New device. Is it worth it? Yes for decent battery life and and a fingerprint scanner I don't have to frig around with every time I want to unlock my phone.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9🔥🔥🔥🔥
Complete Smartphone

Nokia 7 Plus? Can go around with this phone using it moderately(messaging, calls and Facebook) and get almost 2 days of battery. Under heavy use(games, video streaming...) it can go up to 17h

Is this screen on time or off charger?

My v30 is telling me I have 15hrs battery left and its at 40%. Few tweaks makes any phone last and the v30 is one of the best when it comes to SoT along with a very quick charger

Homtom ht70 whud be the nuber 1 with battery life

[stevenlowe]

My pixel 2 XL averages 6 1/4 hours SOT. My S7 edge managed under 5. The pixel is so underrated.

[muzamiljavid]

Man I spend more than 2 days of battery life every time I charge with complete usage of 3g+wifi+downloading of various applications and doing portrait mode on the camera on my BlackBerry Key 2 !!
I never thought that I would get so much battery life on a smart phone!!

[TremFeighery]

I notice there's no mention of Oukitel, Blackview or Ulefone, to name a few, that have batteries up to 13, 000mAh and can last a week. For years I had the "top end" phones but got sick of 1 maybe 2 days of battery life so started looking elsewhere. I now enjoy a week of battery life with my current Oukitel K10 with it's 11, 000 mAh battery and am looking into the Ulefone Power 5 with it's 13, 000mAh battery.

[xZeZox]

Huawei P20 Pro should definatly be number 1 or at least on the list. it has 4000 mAh battery that last forever

[hemachandran.balaji]

I would have lost my shit if I had seen an iPhone in that list.

[chloesamclutch]

I had the s8+ before I got the Note 9. I feel confident now that I've installed Nova Launcher, black wallpaper and set the screen to HD that it would last two days with mild use assuming a good service area.

It seem they dont know that Mi Max 3 exist.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
