Battery Life Remains a Top Priority for Consumers
Battery life problems are common to smartphone users. Even with normal usage, most phones need charging by night. For individuals seeking improved battery life, bigger capacity batteries have been available—but usually at the expense of increased weight and size. That's changing rapidly. Phone makers now aim for sleek phones that provide batteries with capacities of 7000mAh and higher.
Evolution of Smartphone Battery Capacity
Earlier, a 2000mAh battery was deemed enough. With time, smartphones have evolved to 3000mAh, 4000mAh, and even 5000mAh. The current norm is between 5000mAh and 6000mAh. For faster charging, companies also provide fast chargers—up to 120W. The recent change? Phones with batteries of more than 7000mAh, but still have a thin and lightweight feel.
