Smartphone: What you should know about battery charging

How long the smartphone's battery lasts varies. Above all, there are differences between the models of the different manufacturers.

The battery charge of a smartphone lasts for different lengths of time

Do you remember the good old days when you only charged the battery on your cell phone every three days? That is no longer possible today. In a poll, the Washington Post examined 13 smartphones and tested battery quality.

• It turned out that the promise of a one-day battery life on smartphones like the iPhone XR and Samsung Note9 was not fulfilled - the batteries lasted up to 12 working hours.
• The size of the display significantly affects the runtime of batteries. Due to a large screen, the battery needs more power, especially when the brightness is set high.
• In addition, there are millions of apps that can use a lot of the battery without you even noticing.

iPhone and Android: the differences of the battery

There are also differences in the battery between the different manufacturers.

• While all other companies show how big the battery is, Apple describes the quality in a duration of talk times. In reality, the battery of every new iPhone is relatively small - around 3500 mAh.
• The company continues to strive to be a leader in the development of good displays, cameras and extras, but with high energy consumption.
• As a customer, you have to compromise and accept that in order to get a slim, practical and modern smartphone, you have to say goodbye to the large but durable battery.
• As an Android user, you benefit from the life of the batteries. Many of the models offer both large batteries and a good display.
• Most Android smartphones are much larger and thicker than the thin iPhones. This enables a stronger battery to be used.

The runtime of smartphone batteries

Choosing the ideal phone can take some time. The comparison of capacity, performance, camera, display and all other extras can distract you from the really important factor - the battery.

• The purchase of a phone with maximum parameters and a small battery can unfortunately not be compensated for by installing energy-saving applications.
• If you do not use your smartphone constantly during the day, it is likely that your battery will last longer than a day.
• Lowering the screen brightness or shutting down programs that are running in the background can increase battery life.
