In the past few years, we have seen smartphone with powerful processors, larger RAM modules and better cameras in the market. However, one thing that kind of remained unchanged was the battery department. But even that changed this year as we have seen so many smartphones with large batteries launch from different manufacturers.

Earlier if you had to look for a big battery smartphone, you would have only a handful of options. But now, there are more than a dozen options available, that too many of them at a budget price tag. As a result, we decided to pick out the best among these options as of September 2015. So, if you are looking for a smartphone that will last you a few days at least, make sure you check out this article thoroughly.

So, lets take a look at the best smartphones with large batteries on a budget. The list starts from the cheapest big battery phone, (3500mAh+) to the costliest one.

1. OUKITEL K4000: [4000mAh]

If you are in search for one of the cheapest smartphones with a large battery, your search ends with OUKITEL K4000. The company has really outdone itself with its latest offering, priced at just 119.99. At this price, you get a large 4000mAh battery with the decent 64-bit MT6735 quad-core chipset on board. Like most smartphones that retail under $150, the OUKITEL K4000 comes 2GB RAM + 16GB of expandable storage. The 5.5-inch display with 2.5D glass is definitely an added plus.

Let me remind you, camera won’t be that impressive, since its interpolated 13MP, but still you should be able to take decent shots. Finally, for software you get the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop OS on board.

BATTERY LIFE: Up to 2 days with moderate usage

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS: Anyone who’s looking for a super cheap smartphone with a large battery for their day to day usage.

2. Cubot H1 [5200mAh]

Cubot is a known name in the local Chinese smartphone industry, thanks to its numerous affordable smartphone offerings. The company recently released the new Cubot H1 for the large battery lovers which comes with a 5200mAh capacity battery on board. This is enough for more than a couple of day’s usage. Plus, the efficient 64-bit MT6735 chipset should deliver good performance without taking a toll on battery. Other specs are more or less the same as the OUKITEL K4000. However, what really differentiates this model is that it supports fast charge. Which means, you don’t have to wait for 5-7 hours to get it charged to 100%. You can check out the full tech specs of the Cubot H1 from down below.

BATTERY LIFE: More than 2 days with moderate usage

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS: Anyone who is looking for a phone with 5000mAh+ battery with fast charge.

3. BLUBOO X550 [5300mAh]

Bluboo X550 is yet another smartphone with a large battery that measures 5300mAh. As you can see, its slightly larger than Cubot H1’s 5200mAh but rest of the specs are identical. So, you have the same MT6735 quad-core 64-bit chip on board with interpolated cameras and Android 5.1 Lollipop. So, basically the choice between Cubot H1 and Bluboo X550 depends on the looks as well as the small 100mAh battery capacity difference.

BATTERY LIFE: More than 2 days with moderate usage.

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS: Well, with fast charge, the Cubot H1 is naturally the better choice. But then you get a slightly larger 5300mAh battery on this device. Plus you get another option to choose at a similar price tag, which is why I included this in the list.

4. Doogee HOMTOM HT6 [6250mAh]

The Doogee HOMTOM HT6 is yet another great option at just $139.99. The phone comes with the largest battery in the list, 6250mAh which makes it a great buy for people who are looking for a phone that can last long.

While specs wise, the HOMTOM HT6 is almost identical to the above mentioned devices, what really sets this phone apart from competitors is the inclusion of the 5.5-inch Gorilla Glass display and fast charge. This makes it a practical and durable smartphone, which is affordable at the same time. The company claims that you can get up to 75% of charge in just over half an hour, which is quite impressive.

Check out the full tech specs down below.

BATTERY LIFE: Well over 3 days with moderate usage.

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS: The HOMTOM HT6 is the best option for those who are looking for a phone that will really really last long.

5. UMi eMax [3750mAh]

All the above listed smartphones came with MT6735 quad-core chip on board. While the chip is enough for your everyday usage, if you are looking for something a bit more powerful, then you should check out the UMi eMax. Well, since this phone is a few months old, you must already know most of its details. The phones comes with a full HD MT6752 octa-core chip that powers most affordable mid-range phones in the market right now. Another plus is the full HD 1080p 5.5-inch display on the device. That’s higher than the 720p screens on the above listed phones. Even the camera should be better than the previous devices. But since UMi eMax is focused on an overall balanced specs profile, you have a slightly smaller 3780mAh battery on board. Still, that’s enough to last you for more than a day!

Another possible drawback is the Android 4.4 Kitkat that comes out of the box, unlike that above phones which run on the latest Android 5.1. However, UMi has promised the Lollipop update and according to the latest information, its coming real soon.

BATTERY LIFE: More than a day

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS: Anyone looking for an affordable FHD octa-core smartphone with a large battery.

6. Elephone P8000 [4000mAh]

While we are still waiting for the Snapdragon 820 powered Elephone P9000, the current model, the Elephone P8000 still packs a punch as compared to its competitors. The phone comes with a 4000mAh battery supported by flagship level specs. I mean, you get MT6753 octa-core chip under the hood, with 3GB RAM + 32GB of expandable ROM making it a value for money package. There’s even a fingerprint sensor on board, which makes it a unique offering in this list. You get everything that you wish for in a flagship, plus a large battery in the Elephone P8000.
