Battery life is one of the most important factors when it comes to buying a phone. No one likes having to constantly charge their phones, especially when access to a charging brick, cable or power bank is limited. There’s also something satisfying about seeing your phone at 100%.Â
If battery life is a big deal to you, here is our countdown of some of the top phones with the best battery life in 2023. And yes, all these phones are available at Shop.CompAsia.
5th place - Google Pixel 7 Pro
On paper
Non-removable 5,000 mAh Li-Ion battery
Our testÂ
8 hours and 32 minutes
Our thoughtsÂ
The Google Pixel 7 Pro provides the best Android experience with a camera that takes outstanding photos. Unfortunately, its battery, while satisfactory, pales in comparison to other flagships.Â
4th place - Vivo X90 Pro
On paper
Non-removable 4,870 mAh Li-Po battery
Our test
9 hours and 21 minutes
Our thoughts
Don’t be fooled by the placing of the Vivo X90 Pro, while its battery life does not last the longest, charging this phone is lightning fast. It is the only phone on this list to offer 120W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. This more than makes up for its relatively good battery life.
3rd place - Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra
On paper
Non-removable 5,000 mAh Li-Ion battery
Our test
9 hours 41 minutes
Our thoughtsÂ
The S23 series has really outdone itself by extending its battery life when compared to the S22 series. The more energy efficient Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Samsung not only provides outstanding performance, it also assures long duration usage. The test we conducted kept the Galaxy S23 Ultra in regular performance settings, so you can expect even better battery life in energy efficient modes.
2nd place - iPhone 14 Pro Max
On paper
Non-removable 4,323 mAh Li-Ion battery
Our test
9 hours 50 minutes
Our thoughts
Even with the smallest battery in this list, the iPhone 14 Pro Max outshines most flagship phones in terms of battery life. With a super powerful A16 Bionic chip that blazes through every possible task, battery life trickles impressively slowly. The only downside of the iPhone is its considerably average charging speed that stands out like a sore thumb.
1st place - Samsung Galaxy S23+
On paper
Non-removable 4,700 mAh Li-Ion battery
Our test
10 hours 40 minutes
Our thoughts
Despite being the middle child in the S23 line-up, the Galaxy S23 offers one of the best batteries across ALL Android phones. With a 4,700 mAh battery instead of a 5,000 mAh found on the S23 Ultra, the S23+ lasts a full hour longer. This is at regular settings so you can expect perhaps over 11 hours of battery life in energy efficient modes.

Conclusion
Top phone manufacturers spend a lot of money on research and development to prolong battery life and speed up charging to outdo the competition. This is because phone users care about battery life despite solutions like power banks.Â
