TOP 5 Android-smartphone centenarians

Before reading the TOP-5, we recommend that you look at comparison of the characteristics of five smartphone models with long battery life. You can also see other interesting models in our catalog.

Dual SIM, PowerBank function, quality build and matte finish, low price.

Low RAM, average quality display, lack of autofocus, “freezing” from time to time, massiveness.

Fly IQ4502 Quad Era Energy 1 4 GB / 0.5 GB

Fly IQ4502 Quad Era Energy 1 is a smartphone that made it to our rating due to its 4000 mAh battery. Because of it, the device is noticeably larger in size than conventional low-cost smartphones (its thickness is 1.12 cm and its weight is 190 g). But the device has a matte body and therefore it does not collect fingerprints and does not slip in the hand.

The display matrix is made using TN technology and has a resolution of 854x480 pixels. The picture quality is average – viewing angles are small, graininess is noticeable, but the brightness is good. The main camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels, which is enough for taking simple pictures, since the quality of the photo is low. Video recording takes place at a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels.

All smartphones in our rating work on the Android operating system, and their hardware is different. So, Fly IQ4502 good performance is provided by a MediaTek MT6582M quad-core chip with a frequency of 1.3 GHz, and Mali-400MP is responsible for the graphics. The smartphone quickly wakes up and responds to touches on the screen. However, the amount of RAM (512 MB) is small and running several resource-intensive applications at the same time can lead to slowdowns. And there's a bit of storage (4 GB), though it's easy to expand by up to 32 GB with a microSD card.

If you talk a lot on the phone and keep Wi-Fi on all the time, then the gadget will work for you about 2 days. And with periodic use and disabled wireless modules, it will last about 6 days. One charge is enough to play, for example, Asphalt 8 at an average screen brightness for about 6 hours, and surfing on Wi-Fi or watching a video will drain the battery in 8 hours. It is noteworthy that in terms of the duration of music playback, this model will give odds to many MP3 players — up to 80 hours.

In addition to a battery with numerous mAh Quad Era Energy 1 has another advantage — the PowerBank function.< /b> The device can be a "donor" of energy for another smartphone (provided that it supports USB OTG). By the way, the manufacturer included USB OTG and microUSB cables, as well as a charging unit and vacuum headphones in the package.

Slim body, good picture quality, fast performance, 4G, NFC, loud sound.

No oleophobic coating and relatively low screen resolution, average image quality.

Alcatel One Touch Pop S9 8 GB / 1 GB

The second "long-liver" — Alcatel One Touch Pop S9 7050Y — is also a smartphone with the largest diagonal in our review. The 5.9-inch phablet has a relatively low resolution (1280x720 pixels), but it is enough for comfortable use — the pixels are not visible. However the lack of an oleophobic coating is frustrating: the owner will have to periodically wipe the display from fingerprints. Despite the large screen and the fact that the battery capacity (3400 mAh) is smaller than the previous model, the battery life of Alcatel is longer than that of Fly.

In normal mode (making calls, chatting in instant messengers, periodically connecting to Wi-Fi, etc.) the battery lasts for about four days. This is a good indicator for a gadget with a large display that consumes a lot of energy. If you use your phone as a media device, the battery will drain much faster. So, the time of watching a video is about 12 hours, and reading — about two days.

Externally, One Touch Pop S9 7050Y is not original — it has a usual shape with rounded corners and smoothly transitioning to the back of the edges. They have microUSB and mini-jack interfaces, as well as mechanical volume and power/lock keys. The SIM and microSD slots are hidden under the cover. The speaker is located on the back side and produces a loud sound, but with distortions typical for low-cost models.

The smartphone performs well in operation. Applications and games launch quickly, Full HD videos play, desktops scroll through without delay. Although, his equipment is not at all flagship. The processor uses a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 8920 with a clock speed of 1.2, and the graphics core is Adreno 305. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, and 8 GB is allocated for data storage. You can expand it up to 40 GB with a memory card.

Alcatel supports the LTE 4G network standard and is equipped with an NFC module for data transfer for relevant gadgets. And it is practically the cheapest device with such characteristics.

Dual SIM, simultaneous access to WCDMA and GSM networks, good sound, quality build, energy saving mode .

Massiveness, low display brightness, little memory for installing applications, problems with navigation.

Philips Xenium W6610 4 GB / 1 GB

Manufacturers either focus on appearance, compactness and performance, forgetting about battery life, or vice versa — engineers develop a device with good endurance, but they rarely differ in originality. Philips has succeeded in making the Xenium W6610 interesting and durable.

The Xenium W6610 has a 5300 mAh battery. When using it for chatting and surfing the Internet, watching videos and playing games , it will last for 5-6 days of work. Constantly watching videos will drain the battery in 10 hours, and toys — even faster. If you are not interested in entertainment, and you will not use the connection very much, then the device will last about 8-9 days on a single charge. This "marathon runner" will last up to 33 hours of talk time. The manufacturer has developed a battery-saving mode for the smartphone, and this is not a marketing ploy. If you activate it, then the transmission of data via Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth is disabled and the minimum screen brightness is set. At the same time, the gadget can last 1600 hours without recharging the battery, or about two months. The smartphone turned out to be massive and heavy — 200 g with a thickness of 1.14 cm. The body of the gadget is monolithic and non-separable. Slots for two SIM-cards and microSD memory cards are covered with a plastic insert. Perhaps it will not be very convenient for girls to talk on such a phone for a long time, although such brutality may appeal to guys. It is convenient that on the edges there are not only mechanical buttons for controlling the volume and locking the screen, but also a lever for switching to energy-saving mode.

The 5-inch display uses IPS technology with a resolution of 960x540 pixels. I am glad that the pixels are not striking, only when viewed in detail. Viewing angles are very good, there is an anti-reflective coating.

The quad-core MediaTek MT6582M chipset with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz and the Mali-400MP2 graphics adapter are responsible for the performance. The amount of RAM is 1 GB, and 4 GB allocated for data storage, expandable up to 32 GB. Philips Xenium W6610 shows good results in tests. So, in Antutu, he scored 16738 points (according to mobile-review.com). According to their assessment, one can emphasize the disadvantages of this model — the display brightness may not be enough in bright light, little memory for installing applications and poor GPS navigation.

The 8-megapixel main camera is supplemented with a flash. The interface has basic settings, several filters and autofocus. Photo quality is good and clear. Video can be recorded in Full HD resolution.

Metal body with good build quality, good sound, high brightness and excellent touch layer on the screen .

The case heats up during high activity, the display is scratch resistant.

Lenovo S860 16 GB / 2 GB

Lenovo P780. Now it has been replaced by the Lenovo S860, combining all the best qualities of its predecessor and gaining its own advantages. Engineers have worked on the appearance and materials, and also improved the proprietary software shell.

The Lenovo S860 has a 4000 mAh battery. In standby mode, its work time reaches a week. With average activity with surfing on Wi-Fi, watching videos, etc., its battery lasts for two days. With continuous video viewing, the operating time is about 9 hours, and the gaming session can take up to 5 hours.

The smartphone stands out among the rest with an interesting design. The metal structure makes it look solid and status. There is a characteristic polishing on the back side, which adds winning points to the appearance. In addition, the non-separable case has excellent build quality. The 5.3-inch screen is equipped with an IPS matrix with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. There is an oleophobic coating that contributes to fewer fingerprints. Good brightness at maximum and excellent colour reproduction.

The “heart” of the device is the MediaTek MT6582 processor with a clock speed of 1.3 GHz, and the Mali-400MP is responsible for the graphics. There is 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory (not expandable). Such parameters ensure smooth operation of the interface, quick wake-up, Full HD video playback and launch of resource-intensive applications. Users do not complain about braking and errors. The Lenovo S860 Android 4.2.2 is supplemented with a proprietary shell and antivirus. The 8 megapixel camera with flash works fine, but when shooting it makes a sound that cannot be removed. The quality of the pictures is good, good colour reproduction, brightness and contrast, but sometimes there are overexposures. Video is recorded in HD resolution.

Dual SIM, scratch-resistant display, high screen pixel density (294 ppi), loud sound .

Edges are erased, heating, loss of focus during video shooting, overloaded camera settings menu.

Highscreen Boost 2 SE 8 GB / 2 GB

The Russian company Highscreen launched its own smartphone with long battery life. Their initial development — Highscreen Boost with 4160 mAh batteries — turned out to be in demand on the market. At the end of last year, the company released its ideological successor Highscreen Boost 2 SE.

This smartphone has two unique features. Firstly, this is the only device on the market that comes with two batteries — 3000 mAh and 6000 mAh. By the way, the package also includes an additional rear panel, charging box, microUSB cable and headphones . Secondly, this is a model with a record battery capacity sold in Russia.

If you choose to use a battery with a lower capacity with Highscreen Boost 2 SE, then it will last for 3 hours of games, 7 hours of video playback, 9 hours of surfing, 10 hours of reading or about four days of standby time. When using a 6000 mAh battery, the operating time is approximately doubled and even more: video playback is about 20 hours, games — up to 9 hours, surfing — up to 18 hours. And in normal mode, the device will last about a week without charging.

The Highscreen smartphone has an attractive design. The top and bottom faces are made slightly convex, and below, under the display, there is a plastic light insert. With a 3000 mAh battery, the thickness of the device is 0.98 cm with a weight of 151 g, and with a 6000 mAh battery it is 1.48 cm with a weight of 203 g. inaccurate use can wear off the paint on the edge.

As a platform, the manufacturer chose Android 4.3 without add-ons on the interface. The “iron” part is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 MSM8228 quad-core processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz, Adreno 305 graphics, 2 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory (memory cards up to 32 GB are supported). Predictably, there are no problems with performance — smooth operation, without slowdowns, Full HD video playback and work with resource-intensive applications. This is confirmed by good test results (for example, in the review of ixbt.com in Antutu, he scored 19570 points, and in the article on mobile-review.com — 18276).

There are two cameras: 13 MP main and 2 MP frontal. The quality of the photo is normal, but you expect more from a camera with such parameters. And yet, this is enough to take bright, colour-saturated photos in the daytime and good evening shots.
