In a world where we rely on our phones from dawn to dusk, battery endurance is everything. But with an overwhelming number of smartphones flooding the market, which ones actually last?
At XpertPick, we ran rigorous battery tests through June to separate the marathon runners from the midday quitters. Whether you’re shopping on a tight budget or aiming high-end, these are the phones that truly go the distance. Let’s take a look at the best battery champs of this month.
Testing Criteria
We wanted to know how these smartphones actually hold up when the screen stays on, the apps keep running, and the battery bar starts to drop.
To find out, we put each phone through a real-world grind and lab-style testing. The PCMark Battery Test helped us simulate everyday use, while timed charging runs showed us which devices bounce back fastest when plugged in.
Our list combines fresh 2025 arrivals with a few 2024 champions that are still performing well. Whether you’re after a wallet-friendly workhorse or a high-end device built for endurance, these are the phones that you should consider across price ranges.
Best Performance Phone Under Rs 15,000
Redmi 14C
Even though the Redmi 14C launched earlier this year, it’s quietly dominating the battery game. In our latest tests, this budget-friendly phone outlasted not only its 2024 predecessor but even several shiny new 2025 contenders.
In terms of battery, it easily stretches across two days on light to moderate use—a rarity at this price point. In benchmarks, it claimed the top spot in our PCMark Battery Test, beating out rivals like the POCO M7 and Vivo T4x. That said, the T4x earns bonus points for faster charging, clocking in 21 minutes ahead.
Smartphone | Launch Price | PCMark Battery Test | Charging Speed | Charging Watt |
Redmi 14C (Winner) | Rs 11,499 | 27 Hours 12 minutes | 1 hour 51 minutes | 18W |
Vivo T4X | Rs 13,999 | 24 Hours 52 minutes | 1 Hour 30 minutes | 44W |
POCO M7 | Rs 9,499 | 20 Hours 30 minutes | 1 Hour 51 minutes | 18W |
Visually, the 14C has a refreshed design with a bold rear camera module and an eye-catching circular texture that adds a touch of personality. The 120Hz display adds fluidity to the experience, especially during scrolling or casual gaming.
Still, it has its flaws. The software feels behind the curve, and the dated waterdrop notch feels out of step with 2025’s cleaner design trends. However, if staying unplugged for longer matters more to you than chasing the latest aesthetic, the Redmi 14C is a remarkable consideration.

Best Battery Phone Under Rs 25,000
Vivo T4
The Vivo T4 might be a fresh face in the under-Rs 25,000 crowd, but it’s already making a strong case for itself because of its massive 7,300mAh battery.
We spent a whole day throwing everything at it: gaming, 4K video recording, social media scrolling, and benchmarks. It kept going for 10 solid hours without giving up. In the PCMark Battery Test, it pushed through an insane 25 hours, outlasting phones like the iQOO Z10 and OPPO K13. Oh, and it charges faster than the others too.
Smartphone | Launch Price | PCMark Battery Test | Charging Speed | Charging Watt |
Vivo T4 (Winner) | Rs 21,999 | 25 Hours | 1 Hour 5 minutes | 90W |
iQOO Z10 | Rs 21,999 | 24 Hours 27 minutes | 1 Hour 12 minutes | 90W |
OPPO K13 | Rs 17,999 | 24 hours 22 minutes | 1 Hour 15 minutes | 80W |
Now, it’s not just about battery. The display is bright and punchy, perfect for movie nights, and the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 keeps everything running smoothly, whether you’re multitasking or just chilling with Reels.
If there’s a downside, it’s the software; it could really use a bit of polish. But honestly, if lasting all day and then some is your top priority, the Vivo T4 delivers like a champ without burning a hole in your wallet.

Best Battery Phone Under Rs 30,000
If you thought iQOO was all about raw power and performance, the Neo 10R might just surprise you.
We got our hands on the Neo 10R earlier this year, and from the get-go, it felt like a phone designed with long days in mind. With a chunky 6,400mAh battery under the hood and 80W FlashCharge support, it’s the kind of device that just keeps going. Gaming sessions, video streaming, and hopping between apps, this phone barely flinched.
In our PCMark battery test, it clocked over 23 hours of screen-on time, which is pretty wild considering its sharp display and performance-focused hardware. On the contrary, a quick charge gets it back in the game in under an hour.
Compared to the likes of the Vivo V50e and OPPO F29 Pro, the Neo 10R stands its ground—not just in endurance, but in overall value. The design feels fresh, the performance holds up under pressure, and it checks most of the boxes for power users.
Smartphone | Launch Price | PCMark Battery Test | Charging Speed | Charging Watt |
iQOO Neo 10R (Winner) | Rs 26,998 | 23 Hours 17 minutes | 54 minutes | 80W |
Vivo V50e | Rs 28,999 | 21 Hours 8 minutes | 53 Minutes | 90W |
OPPO F29 Pro | Rs 27,999 | 16 Hours 28 minutes | 1 Hour 22 minutes | 80W |
Sure, the software could use a little polish, but for anyone who wants a phone that lasts and doesn’t hold back, the Neo 10R is hard to ignore.

Best Battery Phone Under Rs 50,000
Realme GT 7
When it launched in May, we expected strong performance, but what caught us off guard was just how well it handled battery demands.
With a 7,000mAh battery tucked inside, this phone feels like it was built for people who hate living near a charger. We pushed it through everyday use, streaming, social media, gaming, and it just kept going. In our PCMark test, it held out nearly 24 hours, outpacing rivals like the Vivo V50 and OnePlus 13R in the same price bracket.
Charging is no slouch either. It goes from zero to full in 47 minutes, which is blazing fast. Though the Vivo V50 edged it out by a few minutes, the difference is barely noticeable in daily use.
Smartphone | Launch Price | PCMark Battery Test | Charging Speed | Charging Watt |
Realme GT 7 (Winner) | Rs 39,999 | 23 hours 11 minutes | 47 minutes | 120W |
Vivo V50 | Rs 34,999 | 21 Hours 14 minutes | 44 minutes | 90W |
OnePlus 13R | Rs 40,675 (Flipkart) | 19 Hours 38 minutes | 1 Hour | 80W |
However, here’s the thing: it’s not just about the battery. The GT 7 is also a treat for binge-watchers and gamers alike. The screen is immersive, the speakers are loud and punchy, and the cameras deliver surprisingly vibrant shots in daylight.
All of that packed into a sleek, good-looking design, it’s quite safe to say that the Realme GT 7 is more than just surviving in this price segment.

Best Battery Phone Under Rs 70,000
iQOO 13
Amidst the chaos of back-to-back flagship launches, the iQOO 13 quietly holds its ground. While it may not be the newest kid on the block, its combination of power and battery endurance still makes it one of the most dependable picks under Rs 70,000.
The 6,000mAh capacity paired with 120W fast charging ensures you’re never far from a full tank. In fact, during our real-world tests, even heavy gaming sessions and benchmark loops didn’t shake its stamina. The battery dipped only marginally after long testing rounds and consistently lasted a full day with ease.
It’s the kind of phone that lets you binge a series, play a few rounds of Genshin Impact, and still have juice left over for your late-night scrollathon. And when you finally do need a top-up, the 38-minute full charge time keeps you moving without delay.
Take a look at the table below to see how it fares against the Vivo X200 and the recently launched OnePlus 13s in this price segment.
Smartphone | Launch Price | PCMark Battery Test | Charging Speed | Charging Watt |
iQOO 13 (Winner) | Rs 54,998 | 21 hours 29 minutes | 38 minutes | 120W |
Vivo X200 | Rs 65,999 | 19 Hours 52 minutes | 30 minutes | 90W |
OnePlus 13s | Rs 59,998 | 19 Hours 05 minutes | 42 minutes | 80W |
Performance-wise, it’s smooth, fast, and unbothered by multitasking chaos. The display is sharp and fluid at 144Hz, and while the camera doesn’t quite knock it out of the park in low light, it holds its own in most situations.
Design tweaks from the iQOO 12 are subtle but appreciated, and while the phone doesn’t scream for attention in terms of design, it quietly delivers where it matters. In a space obsessed with flashy specs and gimmicks, the iQOO 13 feels refreshingly focused.

That’s a wrap on our June roundup of battery beasts! With the smartphone race moving faster than ever, we’ll be back soon with more contenders ready to go the distance. Until then, keep an eye on XpertPick—we’ll do the heavy lifting so you can find a phone that keeps up with your life, not the charger.
