Xiaomi smartphones with good battery in 2021

Five best Xiaomi smartphones with high autonomy

I would like to immediately note that the duration of the phone’s operation does not directly depend on the battery capacity. A device with a 10,000 mA/h battery can work for 3 and 5 hours.

The essence lies in the operation scheme between the processor and other elements of the phone. Xiaomi with a 4,000 mA/h battery with certain components will last longer than a super autonomous phone from another company.

The TOP 5 rating is based not only on the numbers in the “capacity” column, but also on the resource intensity of the processor, display and software without an optimized energy consumption system.

Xiaomi Mi5S Plus 64GB

A large screen, powerful hardware and a stylish metal case - what else is needed for a modern gadget? The aluminum case looks impressive and reliably protects the internal parts from impacts and other damage. The smartphone supports almost all third-party games and applications. But the powerful battery and good camera of the Xiaomi Mi5S Plus phone are the main advantage. The device has received mostly positive reviews from customers.

No. 1 in the ranking – Xiaomi Mi Max 2

At the moment, the Mi Max 2 model can be called not only the most autonomous in the line of Xiaomi phones, but also in comparison with other manufacturers.

Field testing of the GMSArena program showed that the device is third in the world in terms of battery life without additional recharging. Above it are only Lenovo P2 and GiOnee Marathon M5.

The phone has a 5310 mA/h battery and third-generation fast charging technology. The charging adapter is designed for 18V. In 30 minutes the device will charge from zero to 23%. It will take two and a half hours to charge 90%.

Daily phone use with one hour of surfing the Internet, an hour of calls and playing videos will last more than 5 days - 127 hours.

In addition, a 100% charge of the phone will ensure:

30.2 hours of active use of the 3G network;
19.5 hours of surfing the Internet;
21.4 hours of video playback;

Now such figures are considered a record. In addition to its high autonomy, Mi Max 2 has a good processor (Snapdragon No. 625) and 4 GB of RAM.

The phone cannot boast of high power, but for standard needs it will do just fine. The main feature of the phone is its screen, 6.44 inches diagonal with Full HD support.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3 4/64GB

This smartphone is of great interest due to several factors. Firstly, there is a very powerful 5500 mAh battery installed here. And secondly, this is a smartphone with one of the largest displays on the market with a diagonal of as much as 6.9 inches. Of course, we are talking about a widescreen display, although the dimensions of the device are still large, as is the weight - 221 g.

Mi Max 3 is dressed in a metal case, has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor and 4 GB of RAM, has a very good dual rear camera with a resolution of 12/5 MP, a fast fingerprint scanner and a face unlock function.

At the same time, Xiaomi Mi Max 3 turned out to be relatively inexpensive.

Screen diagonal / resolution: 6.9 inches / 2160×1080

Device weight: 221 g

Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 636

RAM / internal memory: 4 GB / 64 GB

Battery capacity: 5500 mAh

Camera resolution front / rear: 8 MP / 12/5 MP

Memory card slot: yes

No. 2 in the ranking – Redmi Note 4

The model appeared in mid-17 and belongs to the middle category of mobile phones. Screen diagonal 5.5 inches with IPS matrix and Full HD support. Same processor as the previous model. The power indicators in Mi Max 2 and Redmi Note 4 are approximately similar.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with 4,000 mA/h battery. The main drawback in terms of autonomy is the lack of fast charging technology, which makes you wait a long time for the battery to be fully charged.

Upon purchase, the user will receive a 5V/2A charger, which will charge the phone a quarter in half an hour; a full charge will have to wait almost 2.5 hours.

Field tests have shown that a minimal load on the phone (an hour of video, an hour of conversations and one hour of Internet use) will allow the phone to work for 120 hours, or almost five days. Exact indicators:

34.5 hours of active use of the 3G network;
17.5 hours of surfing the Internet;
15.4 hours of video playback;

In 2021, the phone can hardly be called relevant, but the model is ahead of many “state employees.” The phone has built-in dual-band WIFI and Bluetooth No. 4.2. It is unlikely that the user will be happy about the lack of NFC.

Xiaomi Redmi Pro 32GB

A unique smartphone with high-quality components and an attractive appearance. Xiaomi Redmi Pro is made in a classic metal case with a mechanical button. The phone has a large battery and an excellent camera. Another interesting feature is the presence of an infrared sensor. Using a special application, you can control any equipment that supports remote control.

Pros:

The dual camera has autofocus
RAM capacity is 3 GB
10-core processor
A bright OLED screen with support for 16.78 million colors is installed
Fast charging function
Excellent autonomy
Housing – metal

Minuses:

The SIM card slot is combined with microSD. Having to choose between a second SIM card and extended memory
Second low-resolution camera

No. 4 in the ranking – Mi A2 Lite

The second name of the model is Redmi 6 Pro. The version is considered fresh, because it was updated for Android Van. The Mi A2 Lite lacks the proprietary MIUI graphical shell; the user receives pure Android No. 8.

The screen diagonal is 5.85 inches with a built-in IPS matrix. The phone supports Full HD+ resolution. The already familiar chip from Snapdragon – No. 625 – is responsible for good performance.

Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus 3/32GB

The Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus smartphone stands out with its stylish frameless design and metal body. Anodized metal does not corrode and can withstand minor impacts and scratches. The diagonal of the device is quite impressive - 5.99 inches with a cool image resolution of 2160x1080. A capacious battery allows you to remain autonomous for up to two days. Overall, this is a small-sized and cheap device, with good operating speed and a large battery life. Pros:

A Full HD display is installed, with maximum viewing angles and without strong glare
Performance processor
Long operating time of the smartphone
Supplied with silicone case and matte film
Metal body
Good frameless screen
There is an LED that will help you not to miss important notifications

Minuses:

Many people find this diagonal uncomfortable.
Not the best camera

No. 5 in the ranking – Redmi 5 Plus

The Redmi 5 Plus model (perhaps the most commercially profitable of the entire list) closes the ranking of Xiaomi phones with a powerful battery. This line at one time gave a powerful impetus to the popularization of devices from the Middle Kingdom on the domestic market.

In 2021, you won’t be able to find a new Redmi 3 or Mi Max – the models have been discontinued and have been replaced by new phones. This does not apply to Redmi 5, the model is fresh and new.

The official release date is the end of February last year. The well-known Snapdragon No. 625 with a 6-inch screen is responsible for the technical part and balanced operation. There is support for Full HD +.

The battery capacity is 4,000 mA/h with second-generation fast charging. The box contains a 5V or 2 Ampere charger. Half an hour of charging will provide a charge of 30%.

This is a standard indicator for a budget mobile device. The standard operating scenario guarantees almost 4.5 days of continuous operation. Full capacity is sufficient:

23 hours of active use of the 3G network;
13.4 hours of surfing the Internet;
14.2 hours of video playback;

At the time of release, field tests showed that under average load the device will work for about forty hours. This was confirmed by reviews from device owners. This is a high figure for phones with modern hardware.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro 4/64GB

The Note 5 Pro's modern design combines beauty and practicality. The shape and style correspond to the standard of modern premium flagships. A good camera in a Xiaomi smartphone makes the device stand out among its competitors. The front one with a resolution of 20 million pixels takes stunning selfies, and the main one has a flash, macro mode and autofocus for the clearest photos. The smartphone copes well with all everyday tasks, thanks to the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 eight-core processor.

Pros:

Best customer reviews
The camera supports macro mode
Long working time
Quick Charge 2.0 fast charging capability
Excellent camera resolution
The video frame rate reaches 30 frames per second, which greatly improves the recording quality
Powerful processor
Scratch-resistant glass

Minuses:

The body is not removable. If the battery fails, repairs will only be possible at a service center

Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 3/32GB

The all-metal body gives the Redmi Note 4 extra rigidity while eliminating any play. The surface of the display is covered with an oleophobic coating, due to which the finger glides well and is much more pleasant to use. Thanks to the good ratio and slightly rounded edges, the smartphone fits perfectly in the hand. In general, judging by the reviews, it is easy to determine that the new product has an ideal price-quality ratio.

Pros:

Good autonomy in smartphone operation
There is a mode for reading at night. The screen automatically converts all white light into a redder hue. This feature relieves eye strain
The screen can be unlocked simply by double-tapping the sensor. Now you don't have to look for the fingerprint sensor and power button
Correctly connects to satellites using GPS. The smartphone can be used as a navigator
Optics contains five glass lenses
Bright screen picture
Affordable price
Event indicator light
Extra battery included

Minuses:

The official version does not have Google services preinstalled. Have to download and install manually
Xiaomi smartphone does not have stereo mode for photos and videos
