The holidays are just around the corner, and buying a new phone is one of the things that Filipinos will most likely do with their hard-earned money. We came up with our list of the best camera phones for every budget, and we focus this time on the phones with the best battery life for every budget.
Next to performance and cameras, battery life is very important among Filipinos, especially with the holidays when they will be busy visiting parties one after another–and have little to no time to charge their phones. We compiled our top picks per budget, all available at Cyberzone:
Php 10k Budget Phones
Top Pick: HONOR X7c
The latest budget phone from HONOR is a true battery champ: a combination of a 6000mAh battery and a Snapdragon 685 processor made the X7c the longest-lasting phone we’ve ever reviewed this year, bagging a PCMark Battery Benchmark score of 24 hours and 35 minutes. That easily translates to being able to use the X7c for almost two days with moderate use–and more than two days if you’re a light user. The X7c achieved that score with a 120hz refresh rate, making it an impressive budget phone if battery life is your main priority.
The HONOR X7c is priced at Php 8,999
Alternate Choice: realme C67
Trying to stretch a 5000mAh battery can be challenging these days, but the realme C67 proved to be up to the task with a perfect combination of a power-efficient Snapdragon 685 processor and improvements on realmeUI when it comes to power management. We hit close to 20 hours in PCMark’s battery benchmark, which proves how great the C67 is in terms of battery life. What makes that even more impressive is that the C67 was able to pull that off while having a 90hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution for its display.
The realme C67 starts at Php 9,999 for the 8GB/128GB variant.
Php 20k Midrange Phones
Top Pick: vivo V40 Lite 5G
Just like the realme C67, the V40 Lite 5G is another example of a phone that makes the most out of a 5000mAh battery, where we got a battery life of 19 hours and 36 minutes in PCMark’s Battery Benchmark. Even more impressive is that the V40 Lite uses a 120hz Full HD+ display and a 5G-ready Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor to achieve that. You even get fast 80w charging as well, and vivo is confident that the V40 Lite 5G’s battery can keep 80% of its capacity for 4 years.
The V40 Lite 5G is priced at Php 15,999.
Alternate Choice: OPPO Reno11 F
As one of the first Reno phones where OPPO doubled down on AI, the Reno11 F is an impressive one. It managed to stretch its 5000mAh battery to almost 18 hours in PCMark’s Battery Benchmark, which is solid proof of OPPO’s AI expertise and the power efficiency of the Dimensity 7050 while being a capable all-around processor for gaming and multimedia. Like the V30e, the Reno11 F’s long battery life makes it an excellent choice if you are heavy into shooting 4K videos.
The Reno11 F is priced at Php 16,999.
Php 30k Midrange Phones
Top Pick: vivo V40
Another vivo phone tops our list, and beyond its ZEISS-powered camera chops, the V40 is a power-efficient phone that manages its 5500mAh battery well. Paired with a well-rounded Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor, we got almost 21 hours of battery life with the V40, making it a solid pick for those who are heavy into content creation. Aside from great battery life, you also get 80w charging so topping up that huge battery is a walk in the park.
The vivo V40 starts at Php 26,999 for the 12GB/256GB model
Alternate Choice: realme 13 Pro+
Just like the V40, the realme 13 Pro+ is an excellent midrange phone for its cameras–especially for its 3x telephoto shooter. The realme 13 Pro+ may have a slightly smaller 5200mAh battery and a less powerful Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 processor, but it is no slouch when it comes to battery endurance as we got a battery life of 16.5 hours in PCMark’s Battery Benchmark. You also get 80w charging with it, and its excellent battery life makes the realme 13 Pro+ a great companion for watching concerts.
The realme 13 Pro+ starts at Php 28,999 for the 12GB/256GB model.
That rounds up all the phones with the best battery life that you can buy in 2024, all available in Cyberzone, which is present in 67 locations nationwide. Which one do you plan to get this holiday season?
