The following selection presents five smartphones known for long battery life and large capacity that can be officially purchased in Canada and the United States. The list begins with a budget option the Tecno Pova 6 Neo, which is priced roughly at 170 to 200 USD and about 230 to 270 CAD. It packs a 7000 mAh battery with 33 W fast charging. Reviewers note that the device delivers solid screen quality and capable performance that hold their own against rivals with smaller batteries, though the rear camera quality could be better.
Next is the Honor X9b, featuring a 5800 mAh cell and a price around 290 USD. The device earns praise for its endurance, a bright and crisp display, an eco‑leather back, and performance that holds up well in the sub 300 USD range found in major retailers. The camera underperforms compared with peers sporting smaller batteries, and the 35 W charging limit is not competitive with faster options available in the same market.
In third place comes the Realme GT 6T, a sub‑flagship model offered at roughly 450 to 550 USD. Despite a 5500 mAh battery, it delivers longer use than some competitors with larger packs thanks to its energy‑efficient LTPO display and a powerful Snapdragon 7+ Gen 3 processor. The device can outperform pricier rivals in the balance of autonomy and performance. However, the camera is not the strongest in the segment, and the more expensive Realme GT6 variant uses flagship sensors that push the price higher.
The lineup also includes the Vivo V40 with a 5500 mAh battery, typically available around 650 to 700 USD. This model offers reliable endurance and a vibrant display, though the overall experience may not match the top tier players in raw battery life. Meanwhile the iPhone 16 Pro Max sports a 4685 mAh cell and demonstrates exceptional software efficiency that often translates into longer on‑screen time than devices with larger packs, usually selling for about 1,199 to 1,299 USD. In Canada, prices may vary with taxes and retailer differences. The iPhone’s real strength lies in software integration and ecosystem efficiency rather than battery capacity alone.
In North American markets, Xiaomi has also introduced a tablet that serves as a compelling alternative to the iPad, offering competitive features for multimedia and productivity in a compact form factor. This line highlights how manufacturers balance battery life with camera quality, display technology, and overall performance to meet diverse user needs.
Previously Xiaomi unveiled a tablet that stands as a strong competitor to the iPad in terms of multimedia experience and portability, broadening the scope of what long‑lasting devices can offer in this category.
