Battery life is one of the most important things to consider when buying a new smart phone. With the vast majority of phones, you’ll probably need to charge them every day, preferably at night just before you go to bed, but this isn’t always possible if you like watching videos on the commute home from work or are constantly using it to stream music and surf the web during the day.

If you’re constantly having to carry a battery pack round with you just to make it through the better part of an afternoon, then it quickly begins to lose its so-called ‘smartness’

For many people, the battery life is the single most important consideration when buying a new phone. It’s not easy to find a phone with a long-lasting battery, but all the devices on this list have proven their worth in the longevity stakes. Scroll on down to see our top picks for the Samsung smartphones with the best battery life.

Additionally, the big battery lasts longer with the power-saving modes standard with the device. You will be more limited in your usage of the device during this time.

Inside the phone, there’s a 3,300mAh Li-Ion battery, which users can replace with ease. The combination of 720p resolution and 14nm chipset manufacturing process promises solid battery life on paper, but we’re not ones to go by the spec sheet alone.

We were nothing short of amazed by the J7’s battery life. It achieved more than 18 hours in our video playback test. When browsing the web over Wi-Fi, the result isn’t quite as spectacular, but is still great at almost 12 and a half hours. On a 3G voice call the smart phone is good for a full day and change. the device is backed by a powerful 3,300mAh battery which offers a talk time of 23 hours on 3G as claimed by the company. All that adds up to an overall endurance rating of 101 hours an excellent result.

As it turns out, our worries were in vain as Samsung has done more than enough on the back-end to compensate for the new more powerful chipset and the higher-res screen. The phablet managed to last longer than the Galaxy Note 3 by just over 10h, posting the overall great score of 87h

Popping the rear cover of the Galaxy J5 (2016) reveals a 3,100mAh Li-Ion battery, that’s user replaceable. It’s whole 500mAh larger than the previous generation, so we expected it to perform much better, given the identical chipsets.

And indeed we see its benefits in some key components in our battery life test. The Galaxy J5 (2016) managed an endurance rating of 66 hours. Despite its excellent call time score, there’s a lot to be desired from the video playback performance, as it draws way too much battery life.

This is the first time we see in action Samsung’s hexa-core Exynos 5260 chipset though, so we didn’t know what to expect. Fortunately Note 3 Neo’s battery life turned out to be great.

The lightweight Cortex-A7 cores and the energy-efficient Super AMOLED HD screen surely helped the Note 3 Neo to achieve indeed an impressive result even though it isn’t on par with the Note 3 flagship. The endurance rating of 74 hours means the Galaxy Note 3 Neo should manage just over three days on a single charge if used for one hour each of calls, web browsing and video playback daily.
