As smartphones become increasingly important in everyone's lives, more and more time is consumed on mobile phones, and the battery life of mobile phones has become a pain point for users. At a time when there is no major breakthrough in existing battery technology, mobile phone manufacturers are only increasing the built-in battery capacity or increasing the charging power in order to optimize the battery life.
Battery capacity
The size of the battery capacity is a direct factor affecting the battery life: usually the larger the built-in battery capacity, the more prominent the battery life of the mobile phone, but you can't blindly increase the capacity, which will affect the thickness control of the mobile phone. Considering the popularity of 2K screens and the power consumption of flagship CPUs, manufacturers basically provide flagship models with batteries with a capacity of more than 5000 mAh. So if you want to pursue battery life, my personal opinion in 2024 is to start with a 5000 mAh battery capacity.
processor
The process and architecture of the processor are related to the power consumption performance of the mobile phone - under the same architecture, the more advanced and mature the manufacturing process, the lower the power consumption performance of the processor, the most typical is the Snapdragon 8+ Gen1 hammer of the same 4nm process, TSMC's 4nm process, and Samsung's Snapdragon 8 Gen1 with 4nm process. In different architectures, the configuration of large and small cores is different, which will also bring different power consumption performance, such as MediaTek's use of an all-large core architecture on the Dimensity 9300, which has achieved a catch-up or even a small surpass of the Snapdragon 8gen3.
Based on the CPU energy efficiency ranking made by Geek Bay, long-lasting mobile phones with a price range of 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan are of course preferred to mobile phones equipped with Snapdragon 8Gen2 and Dimensity 9200 processors.
screen
The mobile phone screen is another big power consumer in addition to the CPU, after all, the output of the mobile phone is based on the screen. Differences in screen size, resolution, refresh rate, brightness and other specifications will directly affect battery life. At present, the LTPO screen technology led by OnePlus has achieved both smoothness and power consumption, so the pursuit of battery life does not only look at the screen resolution, but also needs to consider the screen technology of the mobile phone, such as the same 1.5K resolution screen, LTPO with the same configuration will definitely save power than LTPS. The same LTPS circuit, 1.5K resolution is more power-saving than 2K resolution!
Charging power
Compared with the stagnation of mobile phone battery technology, the charging power of mobile phones has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now it has been popularized from 65W charging power to 100W charging power, and individual brands have even launched 200W charging heads to compress the charging time to less than 10 minutes. This is actually inevitable - after all, the battery capacity is increasing, and the only way to improve the charging time is to increase the power and improve the user experience.
In view of the above factors, referring to the data in the battery life list of Xinping Technology, let's talk about the comprehensive recommendation index of 8Gen2 new machines in the price range of 2000 yuan to 3000 yuan, for your reference:
OnePlus ACE3: A mid-range bucket machine with flagship specifications
OnePlus Ace3 is OnePlus's first shot of involution in the mid-range machine market in 2024, and the main focus is a "universal flagship experience", which will decentralize the flagship-level screen, battery life, image, and middle frame, which can be said to be the current volume king product. As we all knowLTPO technology has achieved both smoothness and power consumption, OnePlus Ace3 blessing 8T LTPO technology with Snapdragon 8Gen2Excellent energy consumption ratio and 5500mAh battery, Station B can play videos from full power to shutdown can last 17.4 hours, brush Tik Tok for up to 15.7 hours, and play Honor of Kings can also achieve 8.7 hours of battery life.

2. The self-developed RF enhancement chip C1 improves the performance of mobile phone signals, with a maximum increase of 17% in the transmission income of cellular communication antennas and a maximum increase in the receiving income of 35%, which will have a more stable network performance in weak network environments such as subway commuting, elevators, and garages.
3. Because it is a plastic middle frame + plastic/plain leather back panel, the Honor 90GT has achieved a weight of 185g and a thickness of 7.9mm, this kind of light and thin feel is not much at the moment, and it is the best choice for partners who like thin and light mobile phones.
Shortage:
1. It is equipped with single-frequency GPS, which is really not friendly enough for friends who have driving navigation.
2. There is no clear announcement that the UFS3.1 specification flash memory used in the 256G and 512G versions is now UFS4.0 as standard.
3. Plastic middle frame + plastic/plain leather back plate, the texture performance is much inferior.
