The OnePlus 15R has Top 5 battery life in our chart thanks to its 7,400mAh battery. With 80W charging, it only takes 53 minutes for a 0-100% charge. The phone has a 6.83” 165Hz OLED display (10-bit colors, Dolby Vision) and is powered by the non-Elite Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset. Alas, the camera lacks a telephoto lens, which is a downgrade from the 13R.
The Xiaomi 15T has a similar display, a 6.83” 120Hz OLED with 12-bit colors and Dolby Vision. This features the Dimensity 8400 Ultra chipset and a 5,500mAh battery with 67W charging. The 50MP main camera is joined by a tele module – a 50MP sensor and a 2x/46mm lens.
The Motorola Edge 70 splits the difference between the 15R and 15T in terms of pricing. This is a slender 6mm phone that weighs just 159g. Okay, the 4,800mAh battery isn’t the largest, so battery life is pretty average. The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset and features a dual 50MP camera – 1/1.56” main and a 120° ultra-wide.
The Xiaomi 17 brings better quality cameras with a larger 50MP main sensor (1/1.31”), a 50MP 2.6x/60mm telephoto and a 50MP ultra-wide. Plus, it features the top of the line Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. All of this is inside a compact package with a 6.3” display (LTPO, 12-bit, Dolby Vision) with a fairly large 6,330mAh battery that offers both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. Unfortunately, we didn’t find any offers for its larger sibling, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.
The whole Samsung Galaxy S26 series has a £100 discount at checkout at Amazon right now. It’s not much, but it’s a start. If you are interested in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, check out our versus articles: vs. S25 Ultra, vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max and vs. Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Finally, the iPhone Air may be the phone responsible for the recent thinness craze. It measures just 5.6mm thick and weighs 165g. Its battery is small (3,149mAh), so it doesn’t last as long as the Motorola (12:44h vs. 13:36h). The Air costs double too (looking at 512GB models).
