[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Mobile phones have become an essential part of daily life and there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than when your phones battery can\u2019t last all day. Having to carry a charger with you everywhere you go so you can keep your phones power topped up, or needing to use an external power pack, or, worst of all, your phones battery dying without any means of recharging it are now common issues that we all have to face. But, does it really need to be that way? In this article I will consider which of the newest, market-leading smartphones have the best battery life and suggest a few tips to help preserve the battery life of any handset.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]In order to better understand which smartphones have the best battery life it is helpful to understand some of the fundamentals about phone batteries so, let\u2019s start by considering how a phones battery life is measured.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]The battery capacity of a smartphone is measured in milliampere hours. Milliampere hours \u2013 mAh \u2013 measure the rate of flow of the electrical current within the battery itself and, essentially, calculate the amount of power that a phone can provide for an hour. So, the higher the mAh of a battery, the higher that battery\u2019s capacity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]But, unfortunately, it\u2019s not quite that simple; there are many different factors that can affect your phones battery life.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]With all the modern advances in technology smartphones have become more powerful and have more features than ever, however, sometimes this can have a negative effect on the battery life of your phone. Also, as you might expect, the factor that has the largest contributing effect on the battery life of your phone is the use; simply put, the more you use your phone, the faster the battery power will be drained.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]However, there is some hope for the newer, more powerful handsets. The newest smartphones often come with more powerful batteries to accommodate for the power they need to run effectively. And their processors have been made more efficient so they are capable of running the complicated processes without draining the power as much as some older models. [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Despite the common thought that the newest smartphones will, by default, have poorer battery life due to their extensive features and high resolution displays I hope to convince you that this is not necessarily the case.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Considering the top 3 market-leading smartphones \u2013 the Samsung Galaxy S9, the Apple iPhone XS, and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro \u2013 it would be easy to think that these would be three phones that, despite their beautiful design and high quality performance, would not be able to withstand a day\u2019s use on one charge, but that is thankfully not the case.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]The iPhone XS<\/a>, unlike some of its predecessors which have been known for having poor battery life, comes with a powerful 2658mAh battery capable of proving up to 20hrs of talk time \u2013 more than enough to last all day on a single charge. Finally, an iPhone that can keep up with you![\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]The Samsung Galaxy S9<\/a> comes with a slightly more impressive 3000 mAh battery so you can be safe if the knowledge that your S9 will be able to keep up with your schedule and provide enough power to last all day on a single charge.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]But, top of the list, is the Huawei Mate 20 Pro<\/a> which comes with an incredible 4200 mAh battery! A powerful battery that will certainly be capable of keeping up with you all day, even if you\u2019re taking advantage of the Mate 20 Pro\u2019s amazing camera.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]One final thought, there are things that you can do to help preserve your phones battery life if you are concerned that it may run out of power before you are able to charge it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]The biggest and easiest changes you could make to help preserve your phones power would be the turn down the brightness of the screen, use Wifi as opposed to data as much as possible, and close any apps that you are not actively using.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]The newest smartphones all come with amazing high quality displays but constant use of a high brightness setting will require a lot of power from the battery, so, if you can and are comfortable doing so, you can help prolong your battery life by turning down the brightness while you\u2019re using you smartphone.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Using data all the time requires a lot from your phone and can significantly reduce the battery life, so make use of Wifi hotspots as much as possible and while at home make sure you switch to a Wifi network if you can to take some pressure of your phones processor and help the battery to last longer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][vc_column_text]Any open apps, even ones that are not actively being used but are still running in the background, will require power from your phone so, once you\u2019re done using a specific app considering closing it fully to help your phones battery to last longer. It will still be there ready to open again the next time you want to use it but it won\u2019t be draining your phones power while you\u2019re not.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mobile phones have become an essential part of daily life and there\u2019s nothing more frustrating than when your phones battery can\u2019t last all day.
