Review of smartphones with a 5000 mAh battery and above

Today, you will not surprise anyone with multi-core processors in smartphones. Now it is quite common to have eight core CPUs and 3-4 gigabytes random access memory... The diagonal of displays and their resolution are constantly growing. Displays of 5-6 inches with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels have become the norm. In general, all parameters are growing, except for the power of the batteries. Smartphones of the middle price segment have practically no powerful batteries. Basically, they are equipped with batteries with a capacity of 1800-2500 mAh. This is extremely small for a modern phone. If you play on it, watch videos and surf the Internet, then the battery may not survive until the end of the day. Models with powerful batteries are not very common, although many are interested in just such smartphones. Today we will look at models of long-lived phones with powerful batteries of 5000 mAh and above.

This is not to say that this is a popular phone, and most of you, most likely, have not even heard of it. But it fits the review criteria as it has a 5000mAh battery. The autonomy of the HONPhone W33 is its strong point.

If you use the device in a medium intensity mode, then it will work for 3-4 days. In standby mode, it will work for a week. If the load is very intense, then the time autonomous work about 30 hours.

It is worth noting the display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of 1280 by 768 pixels. The processor here is MT6589T, RAM is 1 GB, the main camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels. HONPhone W33 has two SIM card slots, 16 GB storage. The dimensions of the smartphone are 151 by 81 by 9 millimeters, and the weight is 165 grams.

This smartphone has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 4 from shocks and scratches. In the role of the processor, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 is installed, the clock frequency of which is equal to 1200 MHz. There are 4 Cortex-A53 cores on the die, as well as the Adreno 306 graphics chip. But the main advantage of the device is its 5000 mAh battery.



Asus internal memory Zenfone Max will have 8 or 16 gigabytes. The memory can be expanded with microSD cards. Cards are supported up to 128 gigabytes. The amount of RAM is 2 gigabytes. The Managing Director operating system in this case it is Android 5.0 Lollipop. Zenfone Max supports dual SIM. The front camera is 5 megapixels, and the main one is 13 megapixels. In addition, the main camera has a dual LED flash.
This smartphone from Asus is good for everyone, but it does not have serious protection. If you are looking, then see the review here.

The next "long-liver" is from the Celestial Empire. The Gionee Marathon M3 is a budget smartphone, but its battery would be better suited to a luxury product.

The 5000 mAh battery allows the Gionee Marathon M3 to work in offline approximately 52 hours with severe iron load. In sleep mode, the device works up to 790 hours.

You can also mark four nuclear processor MT6582 and 1 GB RAM. There is 8 gigabytes for storing user data. This memory can be expanded by using microSD memory cards. The device has cameras with a resolution of 2 and 8 megapixels.

The smartphone screen is made on the basis of the IPS matrix and has a diagonal of 5 inches. The device weighs 180 grams including a 5000 mAh battery. The dimensions of the Gionee Marathon M3 are 144.5 by 71.5 by 10.4 millimeters.

Blu Studio produces smartphones for the North American market and is little known here. The Energy model has a capacious 5000 mAh battery. It allows the smartphone to work without recharging in standby mode for 45 days. When used in medium intensity mode, the device will work for 4 days. Reverse Charge function is supported, which provides 5000mAh battery charging from USB OTG cable. The latter comes with the device. If the capacity of the battery is not enough for you, then you can pay attention to.



It is based on a four-core SoC MediaTek MT6582 processor with a clock frequency of 1300 MHz and 1 gigabyte of RAM. Inner memory have a volume of 8 gigabytes, and it can be expanded by using microSD cards up to 64 GB. The face of the device is a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels. Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the display from damage.

The 5000 mAh battery has practically not increased the dimensions of the smartphone. Dimensions are 144.5 by 71.45 by 10.4 millimeters. Available wireless modules Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and. The main camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels, LED flash and autofocus. Front camera 2 MP.

The Blu Studio Energy phone is controlled by the Android 4.4 operating system. The price of the gadget is about $ 150.

The origin of this smartphone is Russian-Chinese. But the point is not this, but the fact that the capacity of the battery is not 5000, but a whole thousand more. The Highscreen Boost 2 SE has a 6000 mAh battery under the cover. This is the main highlight of this model.

The 6000 mAh battery allows the smartphone to function without recharging in the talk mode for as much as 33 hours. The phone will work in sleep mode for much longer than a week. With such a powerful battery, the smartphone has a small size of 140 x 68.6 x 9.8 millimeters.

Under the cover runs a Snapdragon 400 CPU and a 5-inch HD display. The camera is 13 m, and the amount of RAM is 2 gigabytes. Highscreen Boost 2 SE weighs about 200 grams.

The device is positioned by the manufacturer as a flagship and is equipped with a large 5000 mAh battery. But at the same time, the smartphone did not look like a cube, but has quite a modest size. The phone's specs and design look balanced.

The display has IPS + OGS made by LG with a diagonal of 5 inches and a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. Eight-core processor MediaTek MT6592T is the heart of the device, which runs at a clock frequency of 2000 MHz. Mali-450 MP4 is responsible for graphics processing. The role of the operating system here is Android 4.4.2.

The amount of RAM and internal memory is 2 and 16 gigabytes, respectively. Supports microSD cards up to 64 GB. The device has two mini-SIM slots. Wireless connection introduced Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n. The front camera has a resolution of 5 megapixels. Rear camera ( Sony model Exmor IMX214) has a 13 megapixel matrix.
There is an accelerometer, light and proximity sensor, and a compass. The 5000 mAh battery is non-removable and belongs to the lithium-polymer type. Dimensions are 73 x 145 x 10 millimeters. The phone costs about 15 thousand rubles.

A smartphone with two cameras, a huge screen, a powerful processor ... what good is it if it runs out by lunchtime? Can of course be carried with you Charger, but it is much more practical to immediately pick up a smartphone with powerful battery, especially since there are enough of them on the market.

In this review, we have collected ten of the best smartphones with a powerful battery, among which there are inexpensive models and flagships. The capacity of the built-in battery in them starts from 4000 mAh, so they can live one and a half to two times longer than an average smartphone with a 2000-2500 mAh battery under the same conditions. This means that in theory, with a moderate load, the battery charge of the models we have selected will be enough for two or two and a half days of battery life, and if you are only going to make calls, you may be able to stretch the charge for a week. Keep in mind that the battery life of a smartphone depends not only on the battery capacity, but also on the style of use, the generation of the cellular network, running applications, the quality of the firmware and a host of other obvious and non-obvious factors.

(5100 mAh, 22 790 rubles)

A worthy successor to the model. The form factor (5.5 inches) and body material (metal) remained the same, but everything else was improved. The battery capacity has grown from 5000 to 5100 mAh, the screen is now made using economical AMOLED technology, the Qualcomm chipset has become more powerful. In general, a decent device, albeit not cheap in comparison with numerous analogues.

(4000 mAh, 19,990 rubles)

HTC hasn't previously been seen to love smartphones with powerful batteries, but in April 2017 it released the One X10 with a 4000mAh battery. The device has a 5.5-inch screen, metal case, a fingerprint scanner and an 8-core MediaTek chipset. The solutions of this office, by the way, are far from the best option for a smartphone with an eye to long-term autonomous work, but HTC confidently declares that the One X10 can work for two days under load.

(4100 mAh, 9,990 rubles)

This LG model is already quite old (the Russian announcement took place in July 2016), and it has a successor in the person of 4500 mAh batteries. True, the latter is not yet supplied to Russia, so we recommend taking a closer look at the LG X Power. This is a rather modest device: a 5.3-inch HD screen, a quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM ... However, it may be for the best: the lack of high-tech components often leads to battery savings.

(5000 mAh, 29,990 rubles)

The main feature of this model is not even in the battery, but in the presence of two rear cameras with an optical zoom function. However, even if you are not a seasoned amateur photographer, the Zenfone 3 Zoom is worth taking a closer look at - precisely because of the powerful 5000 mAh battery. Among other features of the smartphone, we highlight a 5.5-inch AMOLED screen, 64 GB of memory and a 13-megapixel front camera.

(5000 mAh, 6 500 rubles)

One of the most inexpensive smartphones in our selection. As a result, special technical innovations should not be expected from him, although the operating room Android system 7.0 Nougat in such an affordable device is a pleasant surprise. As, however, and the battery: its capacity is 5000 mAh. In conjunction with an HD screen and a weak 4-core chipset, this allows us to hope for a very long autonomy.

(5000 mAh, 15 490 rubles)

Metal body, fingerprint scanner, HD-screen with IPS-matrix, MediaTek chipset - standard set Chinese smartphone of the middle class (Philips smartphones have nothing to do with Holland today, if someone does not know). If not for two "but". The first is the infrared port for control household appliances... The second is a 5000 mAh battery, which is accompanied by proprietary software tools to save battery power. In general, an interesting smartphone, albeit slightly expensive.

(3100 + 6900 mAh, 16,990 rubles)

Unusual smartphone: the set comes with batteries for 3100 and 6900 mAh, as well as back covers for each of them. I put in the first battery - I got a relatively thin device, I put the second one - and in front of you is a well-fed smartphone, but it can live much longer without an outlet. Highscreen Boost 3 SE Pro is equipped with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, an 8-core MediaTek chipset and a 13 megapixel camera. A special feature of the model is the audio system, which includes an ESS9018K2M DAC and an ADA4897-2 amplifier.

(4850 mAh, 20,990 rubles)

This smartphone has a huge 6.44-inch screen, so it's essentially not so much a smartphone as a small tablet. And the larger the display, the higher its power consumption. Therefore, you should not expect incredible performance from Mi Max, in terms of battery life it is comparable to 5-inch smartphones equipped with 4000 mAh batteries. The Mi Mix has enough advantages: a metal body, a high-quality Full HD screen and a Qualcomm platform that is quite suitable for games. The form factor, by the way, is also conducive to games: for them 6.44 inches is better than the standard 5.

(4000 mAh, 16,990 rubles)

Typical Chinese mid-range phablet - metal, 5.5-inch IPS screen, 13-megapixel camera, MediaTek chipset, fingerprint scanner ... All this is flavored with a 4000 mAh battery. Two versions of Meizu M5 Note are available for sale - with 16 and 32 GB of internal memory. We recommend saving money and taking the first option, since in this model the memory can be expanded with a MicroSD card.

(4000mAh, about $ 400 on eBay)

And what about Samsung? The leader of the smartphone market is trying to extend the life of its models by software, without trying to increase the battery capacity. However, the Korean manufacturer still has at least one smartphone with a 4000 mAh battery - this is a protected Galaxy S7 Active. It differs from the usual "seven" in a plastic and rubber casing, physical keys on the front panel and a battery, whose capacity has been increased from 3000 to 4000 mAh. The only problem is that the Galaxy S7 Active is not on sale here. But if desired, the smartphone can be ordered on eBay.

Signed bonus minus: (10,000 mAh, about 9,000 rubles)

And - for contrast - a very strange device: it seems to be 10000 mAh, but it works like a model with 5000 mAh. The reasons are the crooked firmware, an outdated screen with high power consumption, the chipset does not match the screen resolution, so the hardware must constantly work hardly at the limit of its capabilities. In general, a good example of the fact that battery capacity does not always translate into autonomous operation.

Dutch manufacturer consumer electronics entered the market mobile phones a long time ago. In those days, small push-button devices were popular, and several years remained before the release of the first touchscreen smartphones. The company decided to stand out from the competition by endowing its creations with a capacious battery. AND for a long time Philips mobile phones have been very successful. However, with the onset of the Android era, the manufacturer began to feel noticeably worse.

One day, the rights to use the brand were sold to the Chinese. Therefore, the Dutch have absolutely nothing to do with the production of modern Philips smartphones, and these devices have lost their originality. Now they are for the most part faceless and not too powerful. However, exceptions to the rule do happen. ABOUT best smartphones x Philips, read this collection.

Best in everything

Philips Xenium X818

  • Operating system: Android 6.0
  • CPU: MediaTek Helio P10, 8 cores, 2000 MHz
  • Screen:

As of winter 2019, this is the most advanced smartphone released under the Dutch brand. The device has a good display at its disposal, even if its resolution does not break records. On the back there is a 16-megapixel camera lens. You can find fault with her too - the creators did not endow the module with an optical stabilizer. But nothing bad can be said about the front camera - its matrix is ​​quite enough for 8-megapixel resolution. How difficult it is to make claims to the processor. The manufacturer has implemented one of the best chipsets from MediaTek here. But not a top-end solution that would have a detrimental effect on the cost of a smartphone. The main thing is that the processor can easily run modern games, while almost all of them come with maximum graphics settings.

Most people associate Philips mobile appliances with a capacious battery. In this regard, the Xenium X818 does not fail - there is a 3900 mAh battery inside it. Even with a power-hungry display, this is enough for one and a half to two days of battery life, unless you spend a lot of time playing games. Another important advantage of the device is its memory capacity. It is enough for comfortable work. Moreover, some customers will go without a microSD card for a long time. It should also be noted that there is a fingerprint sensor, which ensures the best confidentiality of the contents of the device.

Advantages:

  • Metal body.

  • Battery capacity: 3000mAh

Price: from 5 985 rubles

Philips S327 is unsightly in appearance and would be completely unremarkable among budget smartphones, if not for one interesting feature. S327 can be considered the most affordable mobile device from infrared port... Infrared ports are now experiencing a rebirth, and they are no longer used for data transmission, but for controlling home appliances. The S327 can control 200,000 household appliance models from 4,000 manufacturers. This is not only a smartphone, but also Universal remote for TVs, split systems and DVD-players.

Relatively inexpensive smartphone with almost everything you need. Inside it, there are two slots for SIM-cards, which will work in alternating mode. The functionality of the device is provided by the operating system Android 7.0, it will not become outdated for a very long time. Another undoubted advantage of this model is support for LTE-A, which allows you to comfortably watch videos while being somewhere on the street.

Inside the device is the optimal amount of memory - 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage. The buyer will undoubtedly need a microSD card, but he will hardly complain about the lack of RAM. Only the processor has some problems. A typical budget solution is used here. They run modern games, but the graphics settings will have to be reduced. The camera evokes even sadder feelings - it has an 8-megapixel matrix and a simple aperture.

In a word, Philips S318 is inferior to many Chinese budget smartphones. But on the other hand, you can buy it at the nearest store, which will allow you not to spend several weeks or even a whole month waiting for delivery.

Advantages:

  • You can insert two SIM cards.
  • A fresh version of the OS is installed.
  • Decent 5-inch screen.

This smartphone is most similar to Sony products. There are also sharp corners and typical touch keys under the screen. But the logo of the Dutch manufacturer will not let you be fooled. Like Japanese devices, Philips Xenium V787 boasts a very good camera. There is a 13-megapixel matrix under its lens. Unfortunately, there is no optical stabilization, which is somewhat upsetting. And the camera turned out to be not the fastest, since the aperture only opens up to f / 2.2.

Despite the 5-inch diagonal, the installed display has Full HD resolution. As a result, the pixel density reaches 441 PPI - hardly any of the buyers will complain about this parameter. Another undoubted advantage of the device is a good set of wireless modules. LTE will allow data transmission at high speed, and a navigation module with GLONASS support ensures high positioning accuracy. Also, the owners of the device note the presence of a capacious battery and a very powerful processor. In a word, the high cost of this device justifies itself. It's just strange not to see a fingerprint scanner in such a smartphone.

Advantages:

  • A capacious battery is used.
  • Optimal amount of memory.
  • Comparatively good camera.
  • Excellent IPS screen.
  • You can use two SIM cards.
  • There is support for LTE and GLONASS.

The screen has HD + resolution, a diagonal of just over 5.7 inches, minimal bezels and an oleophobic coating. Displays with similar characteristics in 2019 will not surprise anyone, but for a budget segment device this is a very good level. Experts praise the S395's screen for its high brightness, sharpness, lack of graininess, as well as the ability to fine-tune with MiraVision.

We also note the ergonomics of the device - it is very light (only 150 grams) and compact. Thanks to the modern aspect ratio, the 5.7-inch screen was able to fit into the case for 5-inch displays.

Advantages:

  • Large bright screen.
  • Not bad for a "budget" supply of RAM (2 GB).
  • Support for 2 SIM cards.
  • Best cameras among Philips smartphones.
  • Low weight.

Conclusion

Philips branded smartphones have standard alphanumeric indexes. As such, there is no ruler division. However, some conclusions can be drawn from the first letter in the model name. For example, " X”Suggests that the device will be close to the flagship title. Usually, such devices get maximum functionality. The letter " S"Suggests that the manufacturer has tried to give its device a stylish appearance... But most often, such models differ from other products only in smaller thickness and weight. Under the name with the letter " V"Typical middle peasants are hiding, not claiming any records.

  • CPU: MediaTek MT6580, 4 cores, 1300 MHz
  • Screen: 5 inches, IPS, 1280 x 720 pixels
  • Battery: 5000 mAh
  • RAM: 2 GB
  • Built-in storage: 16 GB

Price: from 7 190 rub.

Externally very simple smartphone. When you look at it, associations with a large number of Chinese devices involuntarily arise in my head. In a word, the main advantage of the device is not design, but specifications... The smartphone includes a 5000 mAh battery. This parameter is quite enough for one and a half to two days of battery life. At the same time, the device does not have the most powerful processor, so its owners are unlikely to spend intensively on games.

The amount of RAM may seem small. However, it is enough for the stable operation of the operating system and all applications, and it is pointless to wish for more from such an inexpensive device. But you can really complain about the lack of a fingerprint sensor, you have to rely on a pin code or a pattern. But if many competitors with a similar price tag do not have them either, then this cannot be said about the 4G module. However, the characteristics of the Philips S386 are such that high speed he doesn't really need to transfer data. Much more important is the fact that there are two slots for SIM-cards and a fresh version of the operating system. The fact of the presence of an FM radio is also important.

Advantages:

  • Stable software.
  • You can insert a pair of SIM cards.
  • Comparatively good display.
  • Installed Android 7.0.
  • Decent battery life.
  • Low cost.
  • Additional back covers are included.

Disadvantages:

  • The simplest cameras are built in.
  • There is no LTE support.
  • Not the most powerful components.

This smartphone includes an IPS display. You can look at it from any angle - you will definitely not notice the distortion of the picture. The screen diagonal reaches 5.5 inches. it the best option both for operating system control and for watching movies. Videos are allowed to watch not only via Wi-Fi, but also using LTE networks. Such a screen also has a decent margin of brightness. As a result, the picture on it is clearly visible even on the street, on a bright sunny day. And this is important, as the owner of the Philips S616 will often use it for photography.

The device is powered by a powerful eight-core processor. But do not forget that it belongs to the budget segment, so in some games you will have to lower the graphics settings. The amount of memory can be called adequate - this is quite enough for the stable functioning of Android 5.1. The device has several sensors. However, this does not include a fingerprint scanner. There is no gyroscope here either. However, this is typical for a smartphone produced under the Philips brand.

Advantages:

  • Built-in eight-core processor.
  • There is support for LTE.
  • Very good camera with f / 2.0 aperture.
  • Nice display.
  • Supports the installation of two SIM-cards.

Alternative: Philips Xenium X818, Philips Xenium I908, Philips Xenium V787

In the middle of the last decade (2006) Philips decided to launch mobile phones with record battery life. Then a few simple dialers, equipped with a powerful battery and having basic functionality, saw the light. Thanks to this, they could do without recharging for weeks (the record is just over a month). But since then, time has passed, the market situation has changed and smartphones have come to replace conventional cellular phones.

Continuing the tradition, Philips did not stand aside, but started releasing touch devices equipped with the same powerful battery. Of course, power consumption has increased, and we are no longer talking about weeks without charging. But against the background of most competitors, the indicators of their autonomy stand out in an advantageous way. It is about these Philips smartphones with good battery and our article will tell.

In December 2015, a new inexpensive smartphone Philips V377 was released, which costs about $ 120. He received typical characteristics for a state employee, but a powerful battery for 5000 mAh... As for such an impressive battery and a 5 "diagonal, the thickness of the device turned out to be rather modest: only 1 cm (11 mm in the place of the thickening under the camera).

The screen resolution of the smartphone is 1280x720 pixels, IPS matrix. The processor is a quad-core MT6580, with a frequency of 1.3 GHz (an optimized version of the good old 6582). RAM 1 GB, constant 8, flash drive is supported. The camera is modest - at 5 MP with interpolation up to 8, in front - 2 MP. There are two SIM cards. The device works on Android base 5.1, you can choose a “native” interface or a proprietary Philips shell (without a separate menu, like most Chinese).

The battery allows the smartphone to hold out for about 6 days in standby mode (only calls a couple of minutes a day), video at full brightness drains the battery in 12-14 hours, at low brightness - about 18-20 (like surfing the web). Reading mode consumes a charge in about 25 hours. In games, the smartphone lasts up to 7 hours. Charging from a complete 2A charger takes just over 2.5 hours.

Philips Xenium V787: metal longevity

Philips Xenium V787, released in November 2015, claims to be the flagship of the Philips lineup.
This is a metal smartphone with a capacious battery and pretty good iron. The price of a long-liver is about 300 "green". He also received a relatively small (both for a 5 "and a battery on 5000 mAh) thickness (9.8 mm).

The screen is five-inch, but its resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which looks like a flagship indicator with such a diagonal. There is a tempered glass touchscreen (manufactured by Asahi) and a special SoftBlue matrix coating (minimizing UV light to protect the eyes).

Processor - eight-core MT6753 (1.3 GHz). RAM 2 GB, built-in memory 16 gigabytes, microSD slot in stock. The 13 MP camera, with aperture ratio F / 2.2 and phase detection autofocus, shoots at about the level of Meizu and Xiaomi phablets. There are two SIM cards, the smartphone has LTE support. Operating system - Android 5.1, with a proprietary interface.

The 5000 mAh battery provides up to 5 days of standby time (with rare calls), 15-18 hours of web surfing on 3G, up to 7 hours of gaming applications. Video, depending on the brightness and bit rate of the file, is played from 11 (FullHD, 100% brightness) to 20 (HD with low compression, reduced brightness) hours. The 2A adapter charges the smartphone for about 150 minutes.

Philips Xenium V526: tenacious but inconspicuous

In September 2015, Philips Xenium V526 was released - a smartphone, at a price (just over $ 200), positioned in the middle class, but in terms of hardware it is more likely to belong to state employees.

He also got a powerful battery for 5000 mAh, not very thick (10 mm) body, and externally differs from the first hero of the review in a slightly different design.

The 5 "screen is built on an IPS matrix, has a resolution of 1280x720 and has a huge margin of brightness. But the hardware here is more modern than in the 377 model.

Overview of Phillips phones with a large battery capacity

Modern mobile phone users have a wide range of device requirements. Most focus on the brand, cost, class of the phone model, display and hardware. Taking into account the fact that there are a huge number of mobile phones, choosing the best option is not easy. Even if we consider only one brand, for example, Philips, there are still a lot of models. Therefore, you need to immediately decide which characteristic is more important for you. This review is intended for those who need a Philips phone with large capacity battery. Large battery capacity provides long battery life, which will be interesting for tourists, travelers, etc. Philips is one of the few companies that pay much attention to phone models with a large battery capacity. Therefore, today the review will be devoted to the models of this brand.

How long the phone will work without recharging in offline mode determines the capacity of its battery. This value indicates the capacity of the battery to store a charge. It is expressed in milliampere hours (mAh) or ampere hours (Ah). Most mid-range smartphones have 1800-2500 mAh batteries. A battery with a capacity of 1800 mAh (or 1.8 Ah) will be able to deliver a current of 1.8 amperes for an hour or 0.9 - for 2 hours. But the dependence is nonlinear and the battery will not be able to deliver a current of 3.6 amperes for 30 minutes.


But battery life doesn't just depend on battery capacity. This is an important point, since a long battery life can only be achieved by jointly increasing the battery capacity and optimizing the smartphone's operation. Modern phones often have huge bright displays, many wireless modules, and powerful processors with video cores. All this drains the battery very quickly, and the user is forced to charge their phone every day. Several manufacturers, including Philips, produce lines of phones with large-capacity batteries.
