The battery has seen an improvement on it\u2019s predecessor, using a 2,870mAh cell.<\/p>\n<p>You should be able to make it through the day without having to charge your device. This will depend on how much you use your phone and what you use it for. If you watch a lot of videos or you use your phone to play games, you might find the battery drains quicker.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to stick to using a Samsung or an iPhone, the Xperia XZ2 Compact is a great option. With a 19MP camera, up-to-date Snapdragon 845 chipset and 64GB of storage, you\u2019ll get all you need from your phone. Do consider the fact that this isn\u2019t the biggest battery out there but if you\u2019re using your phone for the usual messaging, calls and social media, it could do just the trick.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9317 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Samsung-S9-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy S9<\/h3>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s flagship device was unveiled to the world in March with a huge focus on the camera. The device uses a 3,000mAh battery which isn\u2019t an improvement on the S8\u2019s battery, despite the updates to the phone.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, you might find yourself charging the Samsung Galaxy S9 more often than usual. There\u2019s loads in the phone that will have an effect on how quickly your battery will drain \u201d\u201c switch to power saving modes to help keep your battery lasting throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>The phone uses Exynos 9810 chip (in the UK \u201d\u201c it does change depending on your region) so the phone is up-to-date. It\u2019s a great phone but if you\u2019re a heavy user, you might want to pick one of the bigger models in the Samsung Galaxy range for a better battery life.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9321 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/LG-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">LG G7 ThinQ<\/h3>\n<p>LG\u2019s handset for 2018 is the G7 ThinQ. The phone is definitely keeping up with the big players on the market given the fact it offers 4GB of RAM, 64GB storage and a microSD card slot so you can bump up your storage.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, the device has the same battery as the Samsung S9 &#8211; using a 3,000mAh cell. This gives you the indication that you\u2019ll be able to go all day without charging your phone and depending on how much you use your phone during the day, you might make it to bedtime with a solid percentage of battery left.<\/p>\n<p>Should you be a little harder on your battery, the device supports QuickCharge 3.0 and wireless charging.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9319 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/one-plus-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/one-plus-6.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/one-plus-6-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/one-plus-6-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/one-plus-6-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">OnePlus 6<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to the OnePlus 6, there is a slight jump in the battery capacity to the devices we\u2019ve already discussed. The OnePlus 6 is packing in a 3,300mAh cell and OnePlus have said the battery is 10 percent more efficient than its predecessor.<\/p>\n<p>Again, you would expect around a full day\u2019s usage &#8211; calling, messaging, streaming music and such &#8211; and still have some juice left in the tank before you go to sleep. If your battery is draining a little quicker than you\u2019d like it to, or you\u2019re having a particularly phone-heavy day you can use a power-saving mode that should help you reach the final hurdles.<\/p>\n<p>The OnePlus 6 doesn\u2019t have a glass back but it does support wireless charging. You also get Dash Charge, OnePlus\u2019s own fast-charging technology. It means you can go from 0% battery to 60% charged in just 30 minutes!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9701 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/s9-plus-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus<\/h3>\n<p>The S9 Plus model is bigger in most aspects. The S9 Plus has 6GB of RAM compared to the S9\u2019s 4GB, it\u2019s got a larger screen and the battery is bigger too. With all the extra time you\u2019ll be spending on your phone, it\u2019s needed!<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the S9 uses a 3,000mAh cell, the S9 Plus has a 3,500mAh cell tucked inside. It has been estimated that the battery will last you around 17 hours but it\u2019s hard to distinguish what &#8216;average\u2019 use is.<\/p>\n<p>Is bigger better? It should be in the case of the battery but don\u2019t expect miracles with it. The battery is the same size as the Samsung S8 Plus so if you owned that device, it should give you an indication of how well your battery will fare.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9702 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/note-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/note-9.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/note-9-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/note-9-768x681.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Samsung Galaxy Note 9<\/h3>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s biggest phone of the year is as close as you could possibly get to a computer without carrying around a laptop! It\u2019s incredibly powerful and has anything you could need at your fingertips. They\u2019ve bumped the storage up to 1TB (512GB internal and space for a memory card) and they\u2019ve bumped up their battery too.<\/p>\n<p>Following the issues with the Note 7 and its battery, Samsung have bided their time and carried out plenty of checks before upping the battery. Now, with the Note 9, you\u2019ll find a mammoth 4,000mAh battery inside which should last through the entire day with ease.<\/p>\n<p>The power the phone has may be a little much for those whose lives aren\u2019t so device-focused. Is your phone only used for the basics? You might not want to opt for the Note 9 as you may not benefit from the incredible features &#8211; but if you need for phone for just about everything, you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find something better.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9315 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/P20-Pro-45x45.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Huawei P20 Pro<\/h3>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t heard of the phone manufacturer Huawei, don\u2019t worry. They are pretty new to the mobile game but they are growing rapidly. They are definitely listening to what the public want from a device and are trying to offer a cheaper alternative!<\/p>\n<p>One of the big talking points is the camera. The P20\u2019s does hold its own with the big boys of the mobile world, considering the fact it has three cameras on the back &#8211; one 40MP main sensor as well as a 20MP black and white and a final 3x zoom 8MP camera.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the battery is concerned, it\u2019s one of the biggest out there. It matches the 4,000mAh Note 9 battery and is expected to last you close to 16 hours. If you want a break from the norm, you\u2019ve found your new phone.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Is it time for you to upgrade? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicmagpie.co.uk\/sell-mobile-phones\/\">Trade in your phone with musicMagpie<\/a> for quick cash.
