Phones With The Best Standby Time On The Market

Many of us look for standby time when we are choosing mobile phones. It becomes very difficult sometimes to charge your phone. Some of us find it hard to get into the habit of plugging in.

Some of us travel a lot and aren't able to have that routine. Others may not even have access to charging points for long periods due to work or leisure pursuits. Some smartphones offer an incredible standby time. There are some that can standby for over 600 hours.

Phones with 600 plus hour standby times

Here is s a list of 8 good phones that have a standby time of more than 600hours;

• Samsung 19300 Galaxy S3
• Samsung 19100 Galaxy S2
• LG Optimus 4X HD P880
• Samsung Galaxy Premier 19260
• Samsung 19100G Galaxy S2
• Motorola Razr Maxx
• Samsung Galaxy Nexus 1925OM
• Samsung Galaxy S2 4G 19100M

All these phones are obviously high end premium phones that come at a price.

When considering the best phone to purchase, there are a number of considerations. It may be that you want to be taking quality pictures, in which case the best camera would be required. You may be looking for significant Internet usage, in which case the best connectivity in the market would be desirable.

If the standby time really is your absolute priority, then, one of these 8 phones will be a good choice. Out of all of them probably the best phone is the Samsung Galaxy S3. The Motorola Razr Maxx has improved greatly over previous models in the series, and the LG Optimus 4X HD is also a terrific phone.

Notable absences are the iPhone and Google Nexus 4, but then not everybody prioritises this level of standby time. To put it into context, 600 hours equates to 25 days, or over 3 1/2 weeks. Chances are, most of us will be able to get to a power point in that time.

There are other considerations

On top of this, it is not just the standby time that will dictate the length of use. There is also battery consumption via media use such as movie streaming, talk time and internet browsing. The extent to which the battery deals with these other activities, rather than just “standing by” will have a profound impact on whether the phone is actually a “laster” or a “frequent charger”.

Understand your phone usage

Take a balanced view to the analysis of the performance of the batteries in the phones that you are looking at. Assess the likely activities that you will engage in and use this information to inform your choices.
