Last month the New energy label that must accompany the mobiles that are sold in Europe. This initiative facilitates evaluating, before buying a smartphone, some relevant aspects such as your resistance to falls or your repaabilityamong others. In the case of the type of label, there is also important information such as the operating time offered and his durability. This is, how many load cycles supports before degrading its capacity below 80 %. And here come the surprises.
The European Commission has enabled a website in which the detailed information of the new label can be compared in 470 smartphones models currently for sale in European territory. If we look at the manufacturer that offers greater durability in the batteries that mounts, there is a clear winner: Samsung.
These are smartphones with the greatest useful battery
The main Samsung high -end models launched in 2024 and 2025, and some mid -range, offer 2,000 recharge cycles. If we have a complete mobile recharge a day, this puts us in more than five years of operation before the battery has significant degradation. Most people change mobile more frequently, so it is excellent performance.
No other manufacturer approaches the durability of the batteries that Samsung uses in some of its mobiles. Within the high range, those of the family S24 and S25. Out of it, the mid -range Galaxy A36 5g and Galaxy A56 5gnext to Galaxy Xcover 7 Pro. These are the terminals with the greatest useful life of the battery in the European Union registry.
If we go to the other great premium smartphones manufacturer, Applewe see that the iPhone offer half: 1,000 cycleswhat evidently pushes its users to change the terminal before the case of the South Korean company. Google It offers that same performance in your pixel. And also Motorolawith some exceptions that go up to 1,200 cyclesas are the Moto Edge 50, Edge 50 neo and Thinkphone25.
As for Chinese brands, Xiaomi offers 1,000 in the models that appear in the EU registration, Realme from 800 until 1,600the latter in some low and medium -end models, such as Realme C75 In the first case and Realme 14 5g In the second. Oppo It also has that maximum in models such as the low range OPPO A5 5G And the most premium OPPO RENE13 PRO 5G. Other brands move in the same parameters, without exceeding 1,600 at best.
There is a curious exception that is put in front of all other smartphones: A Chinese clone of the Samsung Galaxy S22manufactured by Shenzhen Xindali Technologyand that if searching online appears in stores like Amazon under the name Ultra S22without using Samsung and Galaxy brands. Of ultra has little, with 2 GB of RAM And alone 16 GB of storagebut its battery has an excellent durability of 9,000 cycles.
