Battery life is still one of the biggest things people care about when buying a new phone. Whether you're someone who has long shift timings, or maybe you are someone who often travels, or simply forgets to carry a charger everywhere, having a phone that can go the distance is a real game-changer. And the good news is — you don't need to spend a fortune to get a phone with solid battery performance. This May, there are plenty of great options across different price segments, offering not just big batteries but also fast charging and balanced all-around performance. Here are some of the best phones in India right now with excellent battery life. The list includes the Vivo T4 5G and four other devices.advertisementVivo T4 5G: Priced starting at Rs 21,999If your top priority is battery life, and you don't want to shell out flagship-level money, the Vivo T4 should be high on your list. It packs a massive 7,300mAh battery, paired with 90W fast charging, which is almost unheard of at this price. You also get a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen, Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 processor, and Funtouch OS 15 atop Android 15. It's a well-rounded device, but what really sets it apart is that crazy battery endurance. For users who want a reliable phone that can easily last two days on a single charge, this one nails it.Poco X7 Pro 5G: Priced starting at Rs 23,999 (currently discounted)Not too far behind is the Poco X7 Pro, which has a 6,550mAh battery and the same 90W charging speed. The highlight here is the Dimensity 8400 Ultra chip, which offers great performance for everyday tasks and even gaming. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen with 1,400 nits brightness (HBM) is sharp and vibrant, and you get HyperOS 2.0 based on Android 15 out of the box. While it has a slightly smaller battery than the Vivo T4, it's still one of the best in its price segment when it comes to balancing power and endurance.OnePlus 13 5G: Priced starting at Rs 69,999advertisement
The OnePlus 13 brings a flagship experience with a 6,000mAh battery and 100W fast charging. That alone is solid, but what makes this phone even better for power users is the USB 3.2 port, allowing you to stream content directly to a bigger screen — a feature gamers and content creators will appreciate. It's powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, has a stunning 2K AMOLED display, and runs on OxygenOS 15 atop Android 15. This phone can last you all day and beyond, without compromising on features.iQOO 13 5G: Priced starting at Rs 54,999Another flagship with a focus on battery life and performance is the iQOO 13. Like the OnePlus 13, it comes with a 6,000mAh battery, but with even faster 120W charging support. You get the same Snapdragon 8 Elite, a sharp 2K AMOLED screen, and an even smoother 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports USB 3.2, which means it's capable of handling game streaming and large file transfers at relatively faster rates. It's also more affordable than the OnePlus 13 and offers a similar level of performance, making it a solid alternative for gamers and power users.iPhone 16 Plus: Priced starting at Rs 89,900The iPhone 16 Plus may not have the biggest battery on paper at 4,674mAh, nor the fastest charging at 20W, but what Apple does best is optimisation. With the A18 chip and iOS 18, battery efficiency is top-notch. And while it doesn't have a USB 3.2 like many Android flagships and its Pro siblings, it still supports USB 2.0, and more importantly, can run AAA gaming titles, which puts it in a unique position for iOS users who want a mix of top-tier performance and gaming. The 6.7-inch OLED screen is sharp, and its overall battery endurance is better than many would expect from its numbers.
