And if you want to see how the very best  Android phones  compare to Apple’s iPhones, then have a look at our best phone roundup.
Google Pixel 7 Pro


if you’re shopping for an Android phone right now, the Pixel 7 Pro is our current favorite pick. It’s not better in all respects than the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra , however it does come in at a more affordable price and packs a load of clever software features our reviewer actually used.
As with any Pixel phone, the 7 Pro is mostly about two things – the Google software and the camera. The cameras remain fairly similar to what we saw on the Pixel 6 Pro, but the ultrawide is a little wider and the telephoto a little more zoomed. There are software tweaks too, including a bunch of updated modes – including a clever Unblur option that does exactly what it suggests – you’ll actually want to use.


Photos from the phone are great. They are richer and more immersive than those from the Galaxy S23 series and often better in darker situations too. The zoom might not match up to Samsung’s Ultra efforts, but if you keep to around 5x the results are great .
Powering the phone is Google’s Tensor G2 chipset. It’s not the quickest around – many phones on this list will post better benchmark scores – with the focus being AI intelligence. There are many software additions here that are made better by this chip, including voice transcription , and everything works very well.
The phone impresses elsewhere too. The screen is on par with the Oppo Find X5 Pro and Galaxy S23 Ultra while the smartphone battery life matches up mostly too. The charging could be faster, but that’s a minor issue.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra


The very best Samsung Android phone we’ve reviewed is the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. It’s the option to choose if you want a really high-end, luxury experience – and are happy to pay for the privilege.
The S23 Ultra may not be a completely different beast from last year’s excellent S22 Ultra, but small but meaningful upgrades to performance and camera allow it to stand apart from most other flagships in 2023.


Let’s start with performance. The S23 Ultra ditches the Exynos/Snapdragon split for the past few years and worked with Qualcomm on an exclusive version of its latest top-end chipset dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy, allowing the S23 Ultra to remain slightly faster and more powerful than other 2023 flagships like the OnePlus 11.
The biggest upgrade of all has to be the inclusion of a new 200MP rear camera. The upgraded camera offers an all-around improvement on the already-capable 108MP camera of the S22 Ultra, particularly in low light, with this year’s model able to capture more light, more detail and more color via 16-in-1 pixel binning tech. It also allows you to take photos of the stars in the phone’s astrophoto mode, and it benefits low-light video too.


The other cameras, including a 12MP ultrawide and two 10MP telephoto lenses at 3x and 10x, remain largely unchanged, but the latter still offers some of the best quality 10x images around. There’s also Samsung’s 100x Space Zoom that’ll let you take photos of the moon but not much else.
Cameras aside, the other big reason to get the Galaxy S23 Ultra is the impressive 6.8-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X display with its WQHD+ resolution, dynamic 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision delivering a stunning experience viewing whether you’re scrolling through TikTok or watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster on Netflix. It’s plenty bright, and boasts support for the S23 Ultra’s  built-in S Pen that allows you to doodle on-screen with an impressively low latency of 2.3ms.


Throw in all-day  smartphone battery life with a 5,000mAh battery and you’ve got a capable premium smartphone. It’s not perfect, with relatively slow 45W charging, a large, bulky design that makes it hard to use one-handed and an extremely high -end price tag, but it’s certainly the most capable Samsung smartphone  battery   around.

Apple is ‘looking into’ why some iPhone 8 batteries are swelling

Apple seems to have an iPhone 8 battery problem on its hands, and it’s not clear yet whether it’s occurring in just a handful of edge cases or in a larger batch of phones.
Over the past week, reports have been coming out about iPhone 8s that have split apart either on arrival or after several days of use. What appears to be happening is that the battery inside the phone is swelling, bending the front of the phone and separating it from the body of the device. So far, there haven’t been any fires — just ruined phones.


Apple has a short statement on the matter: “We are aware and looking into it.”
Apple seems to have an iPhone 8 battery problem on its hands, and it’s not clear yet whether it’s occurring in just a handful of edge cases or in a larger batch of phones.
Over the past week, reports have been coming out about iPhone 8s that have split apart either on arrival or after several days of use. What appears to be happening is that the battery inside the phone is swelling, bending the front of the phone and separating it from the body of the device. So far, there haven’t been any fires — just ruined phones.


Apple has a short statement on the matter: “We are aware and looking into it.”
There appear to be only six or so reports so far — certainly less than a dozen that have been publicly identified — so the issue seems to be quite small in comparison to the millions of phones that Apple has likely already sold. In any manufacturing run that big, there are going to be occasional issues, so on some level seeing a few broken iPhones is expected.


But after Samsung’s Note 7 fiasco, there’s reason to be concerned about what’s happening here — especially since it’s a smartphone battery issue. Batteries shouldn’t be swelling in any number, and it’s not clear what the half-dozen iPhones that are having this problem have in common. While it seems to be rare, there’s obviously good reason to want to know what’s going on.


“[Swelling is] very unusual for a brand-new battery and leads toward the direction of there’s something fundamentally wrong with this battery,” says Sam Jaffe, managing director of Cairn Energy Research Advisors, in a phone call with The Verge. Jaffe, a battery industry analyst, says manufacturers have reached a limit with lithium-ion battery capacity and could end up producing designs with a bigger risk of short circuiting in an attempt to store more power.


For now, he says, it’s too early to know what’s happening with Apple’s phones battery . “It could be just a random distribution,” he says. “Just a random event, and it’s only a few.”
Jaffe suspects Apple’s executives are “in crisis mode” over the potential damage that battery issues could lead to. But while we’ve seen a few swollen batteries already, he says, it doesn’t mean the problem will necessarily elevate into a Note 7 -style crisis with phones starting to produce smoke.


“Swelling is always a precursor when there is a battery fire, but the percentage of actual fires are pretty rare,” Jaffe says. “In the Galaxy Note case, there were probably a couple hundred battery failures of one sort or another, but there were only a handful of fires — so that gives you a sense of the proportion of actual fires.”
Correction October 6th, 4:37PM ET: The first swollen phone batteryreport occurred in Taiwan, not Thailand.

Beware the Bulging Battery! (And What to Do If Yours Expands)

We’ve been seeing a spate of bulging batteries of late, both in iPhones. A bulging battery is a Very Bad Thing2122 and must be dealt with immediately because it could catch fire or even explode. As lithium-ion batteries age, the chemical reactions that produce power no longer complete fully, resulting in the creation of gasses that can cause the battery to swell. Additionally, manufacturing errors or damage to the membranes that separate the internal layers of the Apple Cell Phone battery  can also lead to swelling.

With Mac laptops, a variety of problems—some rather subtle—can indicate that the internal battery is swelling, including the screen not closing properly, a gap between the upper and lower parts of the case, a failure to sit perfectly flat, clicking problems the trackpad, or keyboard keys malfunctioning.

With an iPhone or iPad, a swollen battery is usually obvious because it starts to warp the case and can even crack the screen—it all depends on where the swelling takes place and what part of the device gives way first.
iPhone X broken 1024×488


What to doWhen you discover a bulging battery, unplug the device immediately and turn it off as soon as you can. Continued charging or use could lead to a fire or explosion. However, if the device is still functional and you need to copy data off or let a final backup run, try to put it in a place where it’s less likely to cause problems—on a concrete, stone, or tile surface, for instance, and preferably outside as long as it’s not wet, hot, or in the sun.


In some cases, as with older MacBooks, it’s relatively easy to disassemble the case and remove the battery. If you feel comfortable doing that, you may be able to reduce the chances of further damage. It’s much harder to work on iPhones and iPads.


Make sure you’re somewhere well-ventilated and safe, with easy access to outside and preferably a foam-based fire extinguisher at hand. If a fire does start, water will also put it out—make sure to have plenty on hand. Be sure to wear eye protection and gloves. Also, make sure you have somewhere safe to store the battery once removed, such as a metal can with a lid or with sand in it. Finally, be super careful around the battery, and whatever you do , do not puncture the swollen cell—some of the gases could be harmful.


Once you’ve removed the Apple  Cell Phone batteryfrom the device, you must take it somewhere for recycling. Under no circumstances should you send it via the mail or put it in the regular garbage. Although various companies—including Apple, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Lowes —recycle batteries, call your local store first to see if they take swollen batteries (they may not be equipped to do so safely).

Better yet, check with your county or municipality to see where you should take hazardous waste. 
For additional details and advice, see iFixit’s guide and the many comments.
Getting Your Device FixedThe best-case scenario is that you have AppleCare+ on the device such that Apple will fix it for you. However, that’s a bit unlikely because batteries usually bulge only on older devices.

Regardless of AppleCare status,Apple  battery service and recycling, and if you have an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider nearby, that’s a good option. Independent repair shops can also likely do this work; make sure they have plenty of experience with your device and offer a warranty for their parts and labor.Although it’s possible to  iPhones replace batteries yourself—refer to the iFixit site for instructions and links to replacement batteries—it can be finicky work, particularly in iPhones and iPads, and you may not save that much money in the end.


Sadly, particularly with an older iPhone, the damage from the bulging battery may prevent a repair from being worthwhile. The iPhone X pictured above still worked fine even though the swollen battery broke its screen, but it wasn’t worth the money to replace the battery and the screen for a 4-year-old iPhone x battery.In such cases, recycle the entire unit with the appropriate hazardous waste facility.

Samsung is making a smartphone with a 6,000mAh battery

Samsung is plotting a new smartphone battery that is considerably larger than any it has ever placed in a handset


A leaked image shows a Samsung-made battery rocking an astounding 6,000mAh, which supersedes anything we’ve seen in a mainstream smartphone to date. The Asus Zenfone 6 has a 5,000mAh battery, as does the current Samsung Galaxy M20, but 6,000mAh takes us into a different realm.


The leaked image (below), which has emerged from the company’s South Korean testing facility (via Galaxy Club), has led to speculation the battery is destined for an M20S version of the phone, packing an even larger battery.
The Galaxy M20 is a little-known mid-range device, which the company sells in India. It has a 6.3-inch 2340 x 1080 display, a teardrop notch for the selfie camera and the mentioned 5000mAh battery offering up to 101 hours of audio playback time.
However, there’ll also be speculation that in the

future, Samsung smartphone  battery could deploy a similarly large battery on one of its dual-screened foldable handsets that could succeed the Galaxy Fold.
The first iteration of the device features two batteries that combine for 4,380mAh with early testers waxing lyrical about the long life. Rumors have suggested Samsung might be willing to experiment with the form factors next time around.

A 6,000mAh cell would also be welcome on the firm’s Galaxy S and Galaxy Note flagship devices, pushing  Samsung Galaxy battery life past 48 hours. The powerful new Note 10 Plus, which has a relatively giant 4500mAh battery to power its 6.8-inch screen.


Samsung often tests new features on its less illustrious devices (in-display fingerprint sensor, cut-out display, etc.) so let’s hope a successful debut for the 6,000mAh cell leads to an introduction within a flagship model in 2020.
Is multi-day battery life the smartphone holy grail? Would you sacrifice thinness to get a larger Samsung battery within your phone?

iPhone’s Battery Draining Fast? Here’s What to Do

With just a handful of devices, Apple has made a significant mark on society in the last decade. One of the most prevalent of these electronics is the iconic iPhone that seems to be in every other person’s hand these days. 


While the new iPhone’s come with plenty of hardware and software features, devices like the iPhone work just fine even in 2020.
Sometimes, though, you may experience iPhone 6 battery drain that seemingly comes out of nowhere. Luckily, there’s a fix you can try.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. 
Let’s take a look at everything you need to know.


You’re Using Too Much Energy causing iPhone’s Battery to Drain Faster! 
More often than not, the reason behind your phone’s battery draining so quickly is that your phone is using too much energy on a consistent basis.
While this doesn’t mean your phone is using energy inefficiently, it simply means that you need to reduce the total amount that it’s using.
Let’s dive into a few of the most common culprits.
Email Push Notifications


For people who get hundreds of emails each day, your phone will be constantly retrieving and processing Internet data if you leave push email notifications enabled. Even if you only get a handful of emails per day, your phone will constantly reach out to servers to check if there are any new messages.
To resolve this, go to:
Settings -> Accounts & Passwords -> Fetch New Data
At the top, turn the ‘Push’ option off.
Sending Apple Analytics Data


By default, Apple battery collects usage data from iPhone users. You’re allowed to opt-out of this, though, and you should– it uses a ton of battery over time.
Settings -> Privacy will take you to a list that includes Analytics. From here, you can choose the option to stop automatically sharing data with Apple.
Background Apps
Just because you press the home button and exit an app doesn’t always mean that it’s closed.
For those who use a large handful of different apps each day, you’ll continually pile up the processes that are running in the background. As you may expect, this can put a significant strain on your battery.


To make sure your apps are closed, double-tap your home button. This will bring up a list of applications that are currently running.
Then, swipe upward with your finger to close them.
If Those Don’t Work…
If saving energy doesn’t fix your battery issue, your battery could be damaged or defective and in need of replacement.


Fortunately, though, iPhone battery replacements for this model of iPhone are available at a reasonable price and are typically done in under an hour. So, consider this option if your battery is still acting up.This is where Repair Mate comes in. We replacement iPhone batteries for all models. From iPhone 5 to iPhone XS Max . We do battery replacement for all of the iphones released till date.


Managing iPhone Battery Drain Can Seem Difficult but it doesn’t have to be. 
With the above information about iphone  6 batterydrain in mind, you’ll be well on your way to getting your device working the way it should be.

30 Fixes to Instantly Stop Your iPhone Battery from Draining Fast

Many Apple users may have such a confusion that why is my phone battery dying so fast.
Here’re all the methods and tips for reducing your iPhone batterydraining quickly.
So, Why Is Your iPhone Battery Dying So Fast?

Your battery drains fast because of either a hardware problem or a software problem.
Since fixing software issues is the most manageable and most likely to be the problem, we’ll start there. If the software fixes don’t work, we’ll explore hardware options to address the issue of your iPhone battery draining quickly.
If you updated iOS, wait for the next version to fix the issue.
Wait a few days after the release of the new version of iPhone before updating it. This will allow you to see how other iPhones are performing with the update.


I’m offering this advice after I decimated my beloved iPhone 4 with an update back in 2011. Small bugs can have a significant impact on your user experience. They can make you feel frustrated and tempted to throw your phone against the wall. However, I have never actually done that.


iPhone Battery Draining Checks1. Check Your iPhone Battery HealthAfter the iOS 13 update, Apple introduced several ways to check your iPhone’s health, including its overall capacity and performance.
To check your iPhone battery health, go to Settings – Battery – Battery Health.
Check battery health to find out why your iphone battery is draining fast
Here you can check two main sections: Maximum Capacity and Peak Performance Capability.
Ideally, your Maximum Capacity should be above 80%. Once it gets below that, you’ll start experiencing lag and unexpected shutdowns just when you’ve discovered Cyan is the imposter.


Peak Performance Capability tells you if your battery is experiencing any problems.
If you see statements such as:
‘Your battery is currently supporting normal peak performance’ or
Software and hardware systems in your iPhone will counter performance impacts caused by battery aging.
Then you’re good as gold.
Other notices, such as:


‘This iPhone has experienced an unexpected shutdown because the battery was unable to deliver the necessary peak power.’
And
‘Your battery’s health is significantly degraded. An Apple Authorized Service Provider can Apple replace the batteryto restore full performance and capacity.’
mean you might be in trouble battery-wise and might consider replacing your battery.
Bonus Tip: Turn On Optimized Battery Charging
The function learns your phone usage patterns. It charges the phone above 80% during those times. This helps protect the battery from aging.

2. Is Your iPhone Charging Properly?

To check to see when your iPhone is charging, go to General – Battery and scroll down to reach the graph.
A bad charge might be causing your iphone battery to drain fast
See your battery levels, last charge time, duration, and app activity throughout the day.
The green hatch marks shows when the iPhone is charging. If your device is charging properly, you should see the battery level rise within the hatch marks. If this is not happening, check your charger and charging cable for faults and foreign stuff that might affect functionality.


3. Are There Apps Draining Your iPhone Battery?

If you scroll further down you’ll see Activity. This measures when and how you’re using your device. Specifically, which apps are running in the background.
If your iPhone battery is draining quickly because of certain apps, there may be a problem with those apps. You will need to find out why this is happening.
If a new app drains your iPhone battery, delete it until developers release an update.

Ways to Reduce iPhone Battery Drain4. Disable Background App RefreshIf you suspect an app, disable Background App Refresh to see if it’s trustworthy. Most apps run in the background and fetch new data.
To save battery, go to Settings, then General, then Background App Refresh, and disable the app/apps you don’t want running.
Stop background app fresh to keep your iphone battery from draining fast
You can stop all apps from refreshing in the background. Alternatively, you can choose to stop only the ones that are draining your iPhone battery. This will prevent your battery from losing charge quickly. Turning off Background Refresh won’t affect your app notifications.


You can also turn Background Refresh off completely, or set it to WLAN only, saving you data and some battery.
5. Stop Using Non-MFi Cables and ChargersMFi or ‘Made for iPhone, iPod, or iPad’ is a licensing program that allows third-party companies to make accessories for Apple devices. Many people don’t care, but fake versions can harm your battery and cause your  iPhone battery to drain quickly. Even if you don’t use a MFi cable or charger, make sure you purchase from reliable brands.
6. Change Location ServicesLocation Services allow specific apps to track your locationtion in order to provide you with the most relevant information. You should consider keeping this on for Maps, but you can change most other apps to ‘While using the app’.


Go to Settings – Privacy – Location Services.
Change your location service settings to stop your iphone battery from draining fast
Scroll down to see all the apps that allow for location access.
Tap to change the permissions of each.
You can turn on or off Precise Location for apps that don’t require your exact whereabouts, which can be quite unsettling.

How do I fix iPhone battery drain faster by iOS 17?

With the arrival of iOS 17, many iPhone users have eagerly updated their devices , only to find that their once-dependable battery life is now draining at an alarming rate. It’s a story that unfolds with nearly every major iOS release, and iOS 17 is no exception. The burning question: Is iOS 17 to blame for your iPhone’s battery woes?


The truth is, yes, iOS 17 might be causing your battery to drain faster than you’d like. But here’s the silver lining – this is often a temporary issue, and in no time, your iPhone’s battery performance should return to its former glory , even with the new iOS update.
In this article, we’ll delve into the reasons behind the battery drain you might be experiencing after updating to iOS 17. More importantly, we’ll guide you through the steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Your iPhone’s battery life can bounce back , and we’ll show you how.


Understanding iOS 17’s Impact on Your iPhone Battery LifeIf you’ve recently updated to iOS 17 and noticed that your iPhone’s battery life is draining faster than usual, there’s no need to panic. This phenomenon is actually quite common after a major iOS update, and it’s typically a temporary issue that can be resolved .
When you update to a new iOS version like iOS 17, your iPhone goes through a series of background tasks. These tasks include reorganizing your notes, photos, apps, and various other data to ensure everything runs smoothly with the new operating system. This process , however, can consume more battery power than usual, especially if you have a substantial amount of content on your device.


The duration of this battery-intensive activity depends on the volume of data your iPhone needs to process. If you have an extensive collection of photos, videos, and a multitude of local files, it might take a while for your iPhone to sort through it all.

The good news is that this battery drain issue is temporary and should improve over time. You just need a little patience. Give your iPhone a few hours, or in some cases, a couple of days, to complete these background tasks and optimize its performance .
To expedite this process, consider charging your iPhone overnight while connected to both a power source and Wi-Fi. This combination can help speed up the background indexing and optimization that occur after an iOS 17 update.
In summary, if your iPhone’s battery life is suffering after updating to iOS 17, remember that it’s a typical post-update adjustment period. Your best course of action is to exercise patience, keep your iPhone charged, and connected to Wi-Fi for a few nights to allow it to settle into its new software smoothly. These steps should help your iPhone return to its normal battery performance in no time.


Addressing Persistent Battery Issues After Charging iPhone Overnight on iOS 17If you’ve charged your iPhone overnight for several consecutive nights while connected to Wi-Fi, and you’re still experiencing poor battery life with iOS 17, there are steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue. Let’s explore these actions and troubleshooting activities in detail.

EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027

The European Union (EU) is set to usher in a new era of smartphones with batteries that consumers can easily replace themselves.


Earlier this week, the European Parliament approved new rules covering the design, production, and recycling of all rechargeable batteries sold within the EU.
The new rules stipulate that all electric vehicles, light means of transport (eg electric scooters), and rechargeable industrial batteries (above 2kWh) will need to have a compulsory carbon footprint declaration, label, and digital passport.


For ” portable batteries ” used in devices such as smartphones, tablets, and cameras, consumers must be able to “easily remove and replace them.” This will require a drastic design rethink by manufacturers, as most phone and tablet makers currently seal the battery away and require specialist tools and knowledge to access and replace them safely.


Apple has already been forced by the European Union to change from a Lightning port to a USB-C port on iPhones, with the iPhone 15 expected to be the first to make the switch. Now it seems Apple will need to figure out how to allow access to the battery inside future iPhones battery , as will every other smartphone manufacturer.
The new rules also stipulate strict targets for collecting waste and recovering materials from old batteries. The percentages for each increase at set intervals between now and 2031, at which point 61% waste collection must be achieved and 95% of materials must be recovered from old portable batteries. There will also be minimum levels of recycled content used in new batteries required, but only “eight years after the entry into force of the regulation.”


Members of the European Parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the new rules, with 587 votes in favor, only nine against, and 20 abstentions. As for next steps, the European Council “will now have to formally endorse the text before its publication in the EU Official Journal shortly after and its entry into force.” According to Android Authority, the law goes into effect in early 2027, but the EU could delay it if manufacturers demonstrate they need more time in order to comply.


The European Parliament also has non-rechargeable portable batteries on its agenda and will assess by Dec. 31, 2030, if they should be phased out completely.

Brin: Smartphones ‘Emasculating’; Stretchy Batteries; Google Adds Calendar to Search

Topping tech headlines Wednesday, Sergey Brin digs on smartphones, Google adds Calendar results to search field trial, and researchers show off stretchy batteries.
Topping tech headlines on Wednesday, Google co-founder Sergey Brin took to the TED Conference stage to rag on smartphones — while wearing a pair of futuristic glasses with a mini computer screen over one eye.


Brin called the uber-popular mobile devices “emasculating,” adding that users are “standing around and just rubbing this featureless piece of glass.” While the co-founder didn’t elaborate on his comments or explain what it is about a smartphone that cuts into a man’s virility, a $1,500 Google Glass price tag, it seems, will surely boost a guy’s manliness. A pair of the fancy goggles hit eBay last week, and bidders quickly pushed the cost to at least $15,500 before eBay yanked the listing. For more, check out The Best of TED 2013.


In other news, researchers created a thin, stretchable battery that can be expanded up to three times its size without loss of power or performance.
Meanwhile, Google has expanded its Gmail Search Field Trial to include Calendar results, allowing participants to find an entire day’s schedule by typing “What is on my calendar today” into the search bar. Only those actively participating in the trial will be able to access calendar and other personal search results.
