Despite the fact that smartphones have come a long way in terms of packing really impressive hardware and features ranging from killer octa-core processors, fingerprint scanners, fast wireless connectivity chips, and so much more, companies are hardly giving sufficient emphasis towards one of the core components of these mobile devices, the battery.

Cubot H1 is another device that we had reviewed earlier on, and it features the same chipset as Bluboo X550, and Mlais MX Base, MediaTek MT6735. However, for a $150 handset, Cubot H1 also has a very large capacity battery present inside it. It’s a 5,200mAh cell and according to the results we gathered after using, the device was able to last us for than 3 days. Not only this, but after we decided to get over-zealous with our review and see how much battery life we could take out while connected to the LTE network, we were able to take out approximately 2 days.
Keep in mind that while connected to the LTE network, we were engaged in light browsing tasks and occasional video streaming, because we wanted to give you a fair idea of how the smartphone would perform under the same conditions when you used it, so in the end, results might vary depending upon your usage. Again, just like Bluboo X550 and Mlais MX Base, the low price tag means that this handset will come up short in performance in comparison to Lenovo Vibe P1 and Innos D6000, but since it is running Android Lollipop 5.1, we did experience the same fluid Android experience as we did with other devices that were running an MT6735 and a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor.
Now since there are three different affordable but large battery smartphones present in our list, we will be doing a separate comparison on which device is perfect according to its price tag, but for now, you will easily be able fulfill your dreams of experiencing large battery timings if you purchase any of the three smartphones. Given below are all of its hardware specifications.

Another Chinese handset that fits in the category of affordable and large battery smartphones is Bluboo X550. With its massive 5,300mAh battery present inside its 5.5 inch frame, this gadget will be able to deliver 2 whole days of talk time while connected to the 3G network, and just so you know, this talk time is much higher than the amount Lenovo Vibe P1 is able to deliver. Carrying a sub-$150 price tag, Blueboo X550 also possesses majority of the features that you will find in high-end smartphones.
However, and this is only natural; due to its affordability, the company was forced to make sacrifices; a case similar to Mlais MX Base. Like the latter, you will not be able to experience the same level of performance as Lenovo Vibe P1, or Innos D6000, but your experience will still be positive, because we have reviewed quite a bit of handsets running MediaTek’s MT6735 chipsets (this will range from UMi Hammer S, and Elephone M1) and running quad-core processors and despite the fact that we thought these handsets would fail to deliver a smooth Android smartphone experience, we were appalled at how wrong we were with our assessment.
Majority of the reasons why this happens is because these large battery smartphones are running Android Lollipop 5.0 as soon as they enter the market, and thanks to some major improvements in the update, mobile products are able to function much more fluidly than ever. Now that we have another large battery smartphone added to the list, and that too featuring an affordable price, let us detail its hardware configurations so that you know what you will be purchasing with your hard earned money.

For a sub-$150 price tag, you will be getting a device that packs a 4,300mAh battery, and will be able to provide up to 40 hours of talk time while connected to the 3G network.
The best part about owning the smartphone is that you will also be able to access LTE networks (via a Cat 4 LTE modem), although the company did not care to provide details regarding the amount of talk time you would receive while connected to this particular network
Keep in mind that since you will be able purchase Mlais MX Base for less than $150, there are some sacrifices that the company was forced to make while placing this device in the large battery smartphone category and that obviously comes from the hardware specifications department. While you will not be able to experience the same level of performance as Innos D6000 or Lenovo Vibe P1, you will still get all the necessary features that you would find in a high-end smartphone, and that happens to be an extremely good deal.

Lenovo is a very popular brand when it comes to desktop and laptop computers and the Chinese company has made quite a name for itself in the smartphone business as well. The firm’s Vibe P1 belongs to the large battery smartphones category because it has a single 5,000mAh cell present inside it. It might be less than the total capacity found in Innos D6000, but keep in mind that it is just a single battery.
Lenovo Vibe P1 will be able to deliver up to 44 hours of talk time while connected to the 3G network, which is really saying something by how far companies are pushing their products to provide the highest amount of battery life as possible. While it has not been mentioned how much battery life you will be able to experience while connected to the LTE network, the fact that you are getting 44 hours of talk time while connected to 3G networks shows that you will have ample battery life while connected to the most battery hungry network we know of.
Thanks to its large battery capacity, the company was forced to increase the screen size of Lenovo Vibe P1. The hardware specifications of this device are impressive, though we have to say that for this smartphone, we were expecting more than 2GB of RAM. Regardless; belonging to the large battery smartphones category, Lenovo Vibe P1 has displayed that it delivers more than your fair share of battery life.

Buy Innos D6000 from gearbest.com Buy Innos D6000 from geekbuying.com
Very little was known about Innos D6000 until it was marketed as being the first ever smartphone to have two batteries present underneath its housing. That is correct; there is one built-in battery and one removable battery present inside Innos D6000, along with a bunch of other impressive features. While having two battery cells inside a compact space of a smartphone might cause overheating issues, the company states that the device uses a dual-channel intelligent polar, referring to it as DuoCharge technology.
It means that it uses the built-in chip with current allocation algorithms, which allow parallel charging of two batteries. Also, both batteries are not going to be utilized at the same time. When the built-in battery has been completely depleted, the backup battery comes to the playing field and starts to power on the smartphone.
According to the company, Innos D6000 will be able to deliver up to 3 whole days of continuous battery life while being on standby mode, and 24 hours while browsing the web continuously while being connected to an LTE network. We all know how battery hungry LTE modems are so it is really impressive to see that this smartphone is able to deliver such a high amount of battery life.
This is a very interesting approach introduced in smartphones and we sincerely hope that more products like these are introduced in the near future. In terms of hardware specifications, Innos D6000 does pack impressive components inside it, though we were not too excited to see a Snapdragon 615 present. Given below are all of its hardware specifications.
- Chipset: Snapdragon 615
- Processor: Quad-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A53 & quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53
- RAM: 3GB
- OS: Android Lollipop 5.0
- Internal storage: 32GB
- External storage: 128GB via microSD card slot
- Dual SIM: Yes
- Rear camera: 16MP OmniVision
- Front camera: 5MP

- Battery capacity: 2,480mAh internal + 3,520mAh external = 6,000mAh
After looking at a huge number of smartphones, we were finally able to give you a list of 5 large battery smartphones that will easily be able to deliver the most amount of battery life, while connected to both the 3G and LTE networks. If you are asking us which device we would end up purchasing if we had a choice between all five, then we would easily settle for Innos D6000. This is because the smartphone has the highest battery capacity and to top it all, it trumps all smartphones if you decided to compare them altogether.
While some consumers do not like to spend too much money while purchasing a smartphone, if they want to experience performance and high battery life at the same time, along with all the core features from high-end devices present in these ones, it will require you to spend slightly more than your projected budget in order to make this happen.
