When it comes to phones, one of the few things I take very seriously is battery life. Part of it stems from owning more than my fair share of phones with abysmal battery life, and the fact my Pixel 6 Pro still can’t get through a single day without needing some kind of power boost. And for phones that cost several hundred dollars, that’s not good enough.
Frankly, it doesn’t matter how powerful your phone is, or what fancy marketing MacGuffins are being promoted this year, that phone is more or less useless if there’s no battery left. But the first major phone launches of 2024, the OnePlus 12 and Samsung Galaxy S24 series, give me some hope that the days of shoddy battery life may be over. At least in the best Android phones, anyway.
