Smartphones are notorious for skimping on battery life, routinely dying on you when you most need them. But much like any broad generalisation, there are exceptions. In fact, if you were to look for handsets with the best battery life, all your options would be those running on Android. Here are some phones with long-lasting battery.
Lava Xolo B700
Conventional wisdom dictates that if you have a cheap smartphone, it won’t last for a long time on a single charge. But the B700 bucks the trend with a long-lasting 3,450mAh battery which claims 363 hours of standby time, 20 hours of talk time, 7.3 hours of 3G web browsing, 8.7 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing, 38 hours of music playback through speakers and 86 hours through headphones, nine hours of video playback through speakers and 10.5 hours through headphones. That’s impressive by any yardstick, and mind-blowing for that price. Along with that, you get a 4.3-inch IPS screen with a qHD (960×540 pixels) resolution, 5 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, VGA front camera and a 1GHz dual-core processor, all powered by Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Lenovo IdeaPhone P770
One of the best value-for-money propositions available, the Lenovo IdeaPhone P770 is packed with a 3,500mAh battery that manages to crank out 30 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time—easily the best in its class, overshadowing handsets like the Micromax Canvas HD and the Samsung Galaxy Quattro. In fact, the rest of the smartphone is quite good too. It has a great build quality and feels solid to hold, inspiring the kind of confidence that Nokia’s phones used to. It boasts a 4.5-inch IPS screen with a qHD (960×540 pixels) resolution, 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, VGA front camera and 1.2GHz dual-core processor. While the specs may be similar, the phone’s camera and performance is superior to that of the Lava Xolo B700. And hey, it also runs on the updated Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

Huawei Ascend Mate
Is it a tablet or is it a smartphone? The Huawei Ascent Mate straddles the line between the two with its humongous 6.1-inch screen with HD (1280×720 pixels) resolution. The big size also lets the phone house its massive 4,000 mAh battery with Huawei’s own QPC and ADRX smart power-saving technologies, which claims it can last for two whole days of regular usage without needing to be recharged. It boasts of 28 hours of talk time, nine days of standby time and 10.5 hours of 3G web browsing. Apart from that, the Ascend Mate has top-of-the-line hardware, including a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash and Full HD video recording and an HD front cam. On paper, the Ascend Mate is great, but you really need to first hold it in your hand and see if a phone that huge is something you want.
