2025 is a year in which mid-range<\/a> Android smartphones can legitimately call themselves ‘battery monsters<\/a>‘ – even though most of them are still exclusive to China<\/a> at the time of writing. <\/p>\n

Some of them have made it at least as far as India, though, and include notable examples such as the 7,300mAh iQoo Z10<\/a> and 7,100mAh OnePlus Nord CE5<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Both of those devices have featured in a new TechBar<\/a> video, facing off against the iQoo Neo10<\/a>, Poco F7<\/a>, Oppo K13<\/a> and Realme GT 7<\/a> in a test of theoretically epic battery endurance. <\/p>\n

The YouTuber asserted that all devices started from 100% battery, were on the same Wi-Fi network and ran the same apps on the same brightness level for the entirety of the experiment. <\/p>\n

The GT 7 was first to fall during this test, lasting for a total of 9 hours and 4 minutes. That might not be all that surprising or disappointing for its users, as it packs the video’s fastest chipset in the up-to-3.4GHz MediaTek Dimensity 9400e<\/a>\u00a0(and also the smallest battery size at 7,000mAh). <\/p>\n

Processing power was not necessarily associated with either efficiency or performance in this test, though, as the Poco F7 and iQoo Neo10 were 1 of 3 of the smartphones unable to complete the AnTuTu<\/a> stress test phase of the trial, despite having the next most powerful SoC: the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Dimensity 8350<\/a>-powered Nord CE5 also failed that part of the test, and finished 5th overall with 9 hours and 31 minutes of screen-on time. <\/p>\n

The Neo10 and Poco F7 were next, lasting 11 hours 40 minutes and 11 hours 50 minutes respectively; in addition, the F7 overheated the most during a 2nd benchmarking phase with the 3DMark<\/a> app (“to simulate high-intensity gaming”). <\/p>\n

In addition, the Poco phone had the largest typical capacity at 7,550mAh<\/a> (although that is the Chinese version, and the one sold on Amazon<\/a> is only 6,500mAh). <\/p>\n

That left the technically less powerful, Snapdragon 7s Gen 3<\/a>-based iQoo Z10 to take 2nd place with over 12 hours of screen-on time – although the relatively humble Oppo K13 with its Snapdragon 6 Gen 4<\/a> platform ultimately took the victory at 12 hours and 44 minutes. <\/p>\n

The K13 is also currently the cheapest handset on this list on Amazon.in, starting at INR\u00a017,854<\/a> for a SKU with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage and the Icy Purple colorway showcased in its winning performance.<\/p>\n
