We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness. name hours Higher is better Google Nexus 5 4h 50 min (Poor) Sony Xperia Z1 4h 43 min (Poor) HTC One 5h 45 min (Poor) Samsung Galaxy S4 4h 59 min (Poor) Sony Xperia Z Ultra 4h 52 min (Poor) LG G2 6h 48 min (Average) Samsung Galaxy Note3 6h 8 min (Poor) HTC One max 7h 27 min (Average) OPPO N1 8h 6 min (Average) Motorola RAZR MAXX 6h 51 min (Average) View all

This may not apply to you, but there's no denying that battery life, in a rather idiosyncratic manner, gets a tad left behind when people contrast and compare the all-important hardware specs of a smartphone. Admittedly, this trend has started reversing lately, as we see more and more of you are actively concerned with the amount of juice a device is packing, though it's still rather safe to say that the general population is a tad oblivious.For those of you that care, however, we're announcing a new chart-topper in the form of the giant Oppo N1. The giant 5.9-incher managed to persevere for a massive 8 hours and 6 minutes on our in-house test, which is pretty heavy. Of course, that 3610mAh battery sure helps, but it's hard to deny that devices with even larger batteries have struggled to keep up with this kind of a result. In other words, we're finally getting to that coveted place, where a day and beyond on a single charge doesn't look like a mirage anymore.We've hand-picked some of the most popular devices below for your viewing pleasure, so take a peek.
