Rating of the best smartphones with a powerful battery for 2025

Today, a person cannot be imagined without a gadget, most often it is a smart phone, whose functions replace a lot of things that are useful in work. But if at the dawn of the appearance of a mobile phone was considered a luxury item, and the ability of the phone was not enough for much. Then by the beginning of the century, new models arose, with a wider range of applications. How to choose the right assistant for yourself and navigate in the variety, which model is better to buy, the presented review of smartphones with a powerful battery will help.

How it was

The decision to create was born in the 90s, when the first portable PDA communicator appeared. IBM decided to combine the functions of such a device and a mobile device. At the same time, she presented her first innovative idea, IBC Simon, which has a built-in business notebook. Although the model did not yet bear the title of a smartphone, the device had a monochrome screen and already had a number of more complete features, such as support for video games or downloading images. The very term smartphone - smart phone, appeared only in 2000.

The innovation was created primarily for official use, was clumsy, had a short battery life and imperfect wireless transmission.

Soon, the model became public domain, but even then, the functionality of the device, in the opinion of the modern user, was considered very poor. The key moment was the release in 2006 of the new Ericsson W950. The advanced idea of ​​the company of the same name had a special display that allowed the owner to contact the screen, through a special stylus. Although the gadget was declared as purely musical, it was 2006 that can be considered the start date for the heyday of smartphones.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern devices are distinguished by high performance, this is a whole set of auxiliary functions.

• Internet support;
• recording and playback of photo / video, voice recorder;
• reading e-books;
• Internet mail;
• notebook;
• creation of text files, programming;
• support for video games;
• office applications;
• control of other electronic gadgets;
• calls/sms;
• setting options, thanks to which the phone successfully replaces a laptop computer.

But even such a useful device has its drawbacks.

• The size is not always suitable for a particular user.
• Power level. Many are frankly annoyed when charging suddenly ends.
• Requires careful handling. It has a very fragile screen, damage to which can cause a lot of trouble.
• It is susceptible to environmental changes. At positive temperatures, it may freeze periodically, and at high humidity, condensation forms at the bottom of the screen.
• Excessive attention to the privacy of the owner. At the time of installation of the desired application, it requests access to data.
• Creates a strain on the eyes (depends on how often the user will sit with their eyes on the screen).
• Not everyone is able to immediately understand its capabilities.

However, everyone has their own requests and where is the plus and where is the minus is a loose concept.

What are smartphones

Speaking of a smart phone, a standard device from a case with a display immediately comes to mind, although in fact it has many varieties. Some have completely ceased to exist, the second are produced by a small segment, the third are again trying to conquer the market. There are the following types of device.

1. Business-class devices are most often called representatives of the flagship lines, which are equipped with the best technologies from the manufacturer. They have a designer case, expensive finishes, a good LCD display, a high-performance chipset (chipset), large memory with a photo and video camera. In other words, it is the best of quality materials.
2. A camera phone is a device focused exclusively on photography. The gadget is often inferior in several respects at once, but the camera works at the level. The authors of the technique even offered devices with retractable lenses like standard soap dishes.
3. Button smartphone. Despite the external similarity, this is not a simple mobile phone. Most devices with a standard keyboard have exactly the same functions as their touch counterparts. For example, such a model as BlackBerry.
4. With stylus. Basically, smartphones have support for screen control capabilities with a finger, but there are those with which this computer pen is included, and the software itself is already configured to use it. This analogue is optimal for serious work. A prime example is the Samsung Galaxy Note.
5. Clamshell or smartphone-book. Once considered the most fashionable. They are 2 parts, one is the screen and the other is the keyboard. Now the model is being revived, as a vivid confirmation of this, the Samsung W2018 phone.
6. Slider - a version with a retractable design. Devices also refer to the options on the touch dial or communicators. Now attempts are being made to revive the model, but now instead of buttons on the retractable panel there will be cameras.
7. Gaming Gadgets - a new trend from the world of smartphones, their main feature: elegant design, coupled with powerful content, as well as the ability to support most gaming accessories, as well as a liquid cooling option. According to the manufacturer, the degree of heating of these devices will not be higher than 12-14 °.
8. The plastic smartphone is an application for the future, expected soon. Here the base, like the monitor, will bend in different directions. The technology is being developed by Samsung. The device belongs to touch devices. It is distinguished by the complete absence of any limiters along the display.
9. The iPhone is an Apple gadget that runs on its own operating system. It practically does not differ from its counterparts on Android, it has a touch panel.
10. Phablet - a variety with a large diagonal, is a transitional model between a smartphone and a tablet.
11. "Indestructible" or smart - a gadget with enhanced protection of the entire base from the ingress of litter or water. Such phones often run on powerful batteries, being considered equipment for energetic people, fishermen, hunters, and extreme sports enthusiasts.

The best smartphone manufacturers today

At the moment, there are several companies that occupy leading positions both in terms of build quality and the price of the products offered. Comparing the opinions of experts and reviews of the owners, we can distinguish such manufacturers as:

• Apple

The equipment from this company has long been part of our everyday life. And fans of "apple" products are ready to put up even with how much the equipment costs. All brand lines are under the control of iOS - another development of the mentioned manufacturer, for which most add-ons and applications are configured.

• Samsung

This company confidently occupies a leading position among gadget manufacturers. The corporation creates devices that have a basic Android system hidden in a proprietary, high-speed TouchWiz shell that expands the capabilities of all current programs and updates.

• LG

The representative of South Korea, where Android-based devices were among the first to appear. At the moment, the company successfully interacts with the media giant Google, and releases new devices almost every year. Devices from this manufacturer pleasantly surprise with their cost and convenience.

• Sony

A company from the Land of the Rising Sun, its offers are distinguished by constant quality with the best optimization. They regularly improve their update system, and the devices of this manufacturer have a bright modern interface and a large set of applications.

• Lenovo

Another representative of the East launched the production of smart phones relatively recently. However, in a very short period, the company managed to gain a foothold in several markets at once, including Russia. A successful combination of price and quality allowed us to achieve a fairly high degree of sales.

• Asus

Better known to users as the creator of the PC, but the company decided to establish itself as the author of this gadget. The offerings of this corporation are characterized by performance, a wide display and a large number of applications.

Main selection criteria

However, it is not an easy task to understand the offer of which firm best satisfies the needs. First you need to decide what it is for. The version all at once is out of place here: there are simply no such proposals. Any model is designed for something specific. Choosing the right option, consider the following:

Battery

The most important part, since it is responsible for the duration of the mobile system.

There are several types of storage devices.

• Li-Ion - lithium-ion;
• Li-Pol - lithium - polymer;

They are found on modern gadgets. Batteries are removable, built-in even external.

The first type of devices is located directly in the phone itself, under the back panel they are responsible for recharging the device. Users face it when they open the cover of their mobile phone.

The non-removable power supply is similar to the previous counterpart, apart from a number of features.

1. It is located in the most non-separable case without the appropriate skills and tools to get it problematic.
2. The connection of such devices with the motherboard is closer.
3. The absence of high resistance connectors makes it possible to use fast charging technology.

The last external drive or “power bank” is responsible for the power of a smartphone or other device at a distance from the main power source. He can store the received energy for a long time, after which he gives it away as needed. However, it is unable to completely replace the battery itself.

If only the basic functions of calls or sms are important to the owner of the device. Then he will have enough drive of average power for about 12 hours. But for active users, it is worth giving preference to a device that has a battery of 3000 mAh.

CPU

Or, more simply, "hardware" - is responsible for how the device will function. At the moment, all but inexpensive mobile phones are equipped with a chipset that supports simple applications, including the Internet. As a rule, such a chip contains the main memory of the phone, all kinds of processing units, modems, and other useful programs. This option allows you to make the creation of a gadget cheaper, contributing to a productive energy exchange.Snapdragon, Exynos, Kirin, Dimensity and Apple Bionic SOC processors are considered popular models for 2025.

Video game fans tend to opt for flagship models.

Those who like to talk in a video blog should take a closer look at phones with simpler hardware.

Display

Almost the entire construction of a telephone monitor consists of the following components:

• A layer of liquefied crystalline compounds responsible for filtering rays;
• A matrix that forms a picture;
• A light filter that makes the image color;
• Backlight.

In current generation devices, you can often find IPS or OLED matrices (AMOLED, SuperAMOLED).

Cheap counterparts have IPS matrices, but with good color reproduction plus low contrast. The viewing angle reaches 178 degrees, although there is no Pulse Width Modulation at all. Which is a plus for the user, since this system is responsible for changing the monitor's LEDs. Such displays have a low brightness level and will not flicker regularly. Which is good, because even if the owner of the gadget himself may not notice anything, then this affects the eyes negatively. Prolonged use of PWM provokes visual impairment.

OLED monitors are installed on expensive, advanced developments, as well as middle-class devices. Such screens require a small charge, the pictures on the display look more saturated. But these monitors are not only quite fragile, they have PWM. However, you can protect your eyes from the effects of pulse modulation by using the backlight switching function in the smartphone settings.

Memory

For RAM, 3-4 GB will be enough if you are not a fan of video games.Mobile systems with less GB will be a solution for those who need a phone just for calls, sms, light applications. However, if you constantly need to be in touch, 2 GB is not enough.

To understand how much internal memory is needed, it is worth determining what exactly will be stored there. There are a number of applications for documents, but if there are a lot of files, you should get additional gigabytes.

Photo and video

This is perhaps the most favorite feature of most device owners. The creators promise an extension from 48 megapixels to 108.

But not only the main camera is responsible for the quality, but also the volume of the matrix. The quality of the image depends on the size of the latter, the larger, the better the picture.

How the smartphone will take pictures depends on additional settings, as well as resolution. This allows you to take more detailed pictures. A camera with a good view captures more space, and the built-in focus will focus the lens on something specific. This option with multiple rear cameras has become a real fashion statement of the current decade.

Another important part that affects shooting is the processor itself. It does not matter the maximum power of the camera, if the hardware cannot process the image, beautiful photos will not work.

Operating system

The confrontation between the two most common operating systems has been going on for a long time, the iOS and Android versions are considered the main rivals. Each one has its pros and cons.

iOS operating system.

• Periodic updates, timely removal of bugs;
• High-quality optimization, which is facilitated by the creation of software with a processor by one company;
• User files are more secure than Android;
• An already existing package of necessary applications.

• Lack of OS customization for a specific user;
• Extras need to be paid for;
• Such devices are not cheap;
• There is no possibility to install another memory.

Android system.

• Wide range of gadgets;
• Customizable for personal convenience;
• It is possible to install a memory card.

• Problems downloading updates;
• Combining Android with another manufacturer's shell can damage the system (not always).
