Tom’s Guide ranked the best smartphones according to their battery lives and it was found that iPhone models have the best battery lives. The battery life was calculated by a standard that required a smartphone to last more than 14 hours with browsing on 5G and having a brightness of 150 nits. At last, only 15 smartphones lasted this much.
The smartphone which had the best battery life was the Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro with 18 hours 48 minutes battery life, followed by the One Plus 12 R with 18 hours 42 minutes battery life. iPhone 16 Pro Max got third place with a battery life of 18 hours 6 minutes. iPhone 16 Plus came in eighth place and had a battery life of 16 hours 28 minutes. No other iPhone model was in the top 15 list.
This was a shocking revelation because many people were saying that iPhone 16’s battery life is disappointing for them. iPhone 16’s battery life is described at 12 hours 43 minutes average but it is still better than previous models whose battery lives lasted 11 hours and five minutes. iPhone 16 Pro didn't make the list even though to make it to the top 15 list, smartphones had to last more than 14 hours. iPhone 16 Pro lasted 14 hours and 7 minutes which is impressive as compared to the other models.
