Everyone thinks it's Samsung or iPhone, but the data shows the complete opposite. The smartphones with the best battery life have been revealed. Here are the models that mark the list÷
Smartphone battery life improves only by a limited amount each year. Manufacturers try to keep battery capacities low, especially due to design. Therefore, Apple and Samsung cannot offer a flawless experience. Well, do you think the situation is the same for other brands?
According to tests conducted by the famous technology platform Tom's Guide, the phone with the longest battery life of 2025 became the ASUS Phone 9 Pro. The device placed first on the list by lasting 20 hours and 34 minutes in the test conducted with daily usage scenarios.
iPhone and Samsung models did not take top places on the list. According to Tom's Guide's explanation, the tests were carried out considering daily usage scenarios.
Which phones are in the top places of the test?
In the ranking shared by Tom's Guide, the ASUS Phone 9 Pro was followed by the OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13R. The ASUS Rog Phone 8 Pro and Moto G 2025 also took place in the top five.
| Rank | Model | Battery Life |

| 3 | OnePlus 13R | 18 hours 49 minutes |

Where are iPhone and Samsung on the list?
According to the ranking in the news, the iPhone 16 Pro Max placed seventh with 17 hours 17 minutes, while the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra placed eighth with 17 hours 14 minutes. The iPhone 16 Plus remained in the lower parts of the list with 16 hours 29 minutes, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus with 15 hours 58 minutes.
In the source text, it is stated that the high screen brightness and processor power in Apple's Pro models consume the battery quickly. On the Android side, it is reported that developed battery technologies, processors providing power efficiency, and software optimizations allow some models to last close to two days.
How does this affect you?
For those who make battery life a priority instead of the camera or screen refresh rate when buying a phone, this list offers a point of comparison. Being able to get through the day on a single charge is an important criterion for people working at a intense pace, traveling frequently, or using their phone actively.
