Battery life guide

How to choose battery life

Battery life depends on capacity in milliamp-hours, screen efficiency, and chipset thermal behaviour. Larger batteries hold more energy. More efficient OLED panels and 3 nm chipsets reduce idle drain. The OnePlus 13 ships with a 6000 mAh battery. The Xiaomi 15 Ultra ships with a 5410 mAh silicon-carbon battery.

Capacity

Battery capacity ranges from 3274 mAh on the iPhone 15 Pro to 6000 mAh on the OnePlus 13. Capacity correlates with overall longevity but software and chipset efficiency matter more for screen-on time.

Charging

Wired charging speeds range from 27 watts on the iPhone 16 Pro Max to 100 watts on the OnePlus 13. Faster charging refills a depleted battery in under an hour on most flagship phones.
