Up until the mid-1990s, phones suffered with heavy nickel metal hydride (NiMH) cells that took ages to recharge, ran down quickly, and had a comparatively short lifespan. Things got better with the mainstream arrival of lithium ion (Li-ion) cells, which store more energy and wear out more slowly. The technology keeps improving, with today\u2019s phones packing cells that go all day, charge in an hour or two, and last for at least a few years of daily use.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll often see manufacturers talk about the power of a mobile phone battery in milliamp hours (mAh). This simply describes how much energy they can store, with a higher number being better. A small-ish battery might be rated at 3,000mAh, while the biggest are around 5,000mAh. Generally, a bigger battery lasts longer, but it depends on other things - like how big the screen is, and how efficiently the phone can run.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_2 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_3 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/mozillion\/image\/upload\/f_auto,q_auto\/v1646150884\/de-an-sun-V2D9ayKmBCA-unsplash_iy1rvc.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_2 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_3 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Stretching a charge<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Realistically, how you use your phone is one of the biggest factors in how much battery life you get. The screen is usually the single biggest drain, so anything that keeps it on will increase your chances of running out of charge. A phone\u2019s chip is power-hungry when it\u2019s working hard, so multimedia - and particularly gaming - will guzzle up the battery. It\u2019s also worth considering data: heavy roaming, Bluetooth or WiFi activity drains the power, too.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps less obviously, the number of apps you install has a bearing on how long a smartphone charge lasts. Many apps operate or update in the background, using power. Widgets may run more processes, exaggerating the problem. If you want to get the longest out of each charge, disable widgets, use the phone as little as possible, and keep the screen off as much as you can. On some phones, switching 5G off can help, too.<\/p>\n<p>And if you feel like your battery used to last longer, you might be right. Today\u2019s phone batteries have a long life, but they do lose capacity over time. Both iOS (on iPhones) and Android now include smart charging features to minimise battery ageing - we\u2019ve tested three-year-old phones that still have more than 90% of their original capacity!<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s time for a new phone, the good news is that it\u2019s hard to find a modern phone with a bad battery. Some are better than others, with bigger phones generally having larger, longer lasting cells.

The iPhone 12 range is also well behind the latest models - although the iPhone 12 Pro Max did last for nearly 18 hours in our test.<\/p>\n<p>If money\u2019s no object and every minute of battery life is important, buy the iPhone 13 Pro. If you\u2019re on a budget, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/saleproducts\/apple\/iphone-11-pro-max\">iPhone 11 Pro Max<\/a>, which lasted 18 and a half hours in our test. Otherwise, the regular iPhone 13 is just perfect.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_16 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_33 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_33 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Samsung Galaxy A32 5G<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_17 et_pb_row et_pb_row_4col et_block_row et_block_row_4col\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_34 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_34 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Price <\/strong><span>\u00a3249 (from Samsung) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozillion.com\/search-brand\/samsung\">get Samsung mobile deals on Mozillion<\/a><\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_35 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_35 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Mozillion rating<\/strong><span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"fas fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><i class=\"far fa-star\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_36 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_36 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>Why buy?<\/strong><span>Decent specs and 5G, with a 5,000mAh battery<\/span><span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_37 et_pb_column et_pb_column_1_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_37 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p><strong>The cheaper option<\/strong><span>We\u2019re not sure there is one<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_row_18 et_pb_row et_block_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_38 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_3 et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_38 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The Galaxy A32 5G is essentially a de-specced version of the A52 5G.
