After talking about the best midrange phones in the Php 30k price segment in terms of battery life, we focus on the Php 20k segment, which is a more accessible price point for Filipinos looking for a decent midrange phone. Just like in the Php 30k segment, there have been a few phones that feature batteries bigger than the usual 5000mAh. However, only a few of these midrange phones nailed battery efficiency well.
From 10 months of reviewing phones, we round up the best Php 20k midrange phones in the Philippines in terms of battery life.
Php 30k Midrange Phones with the Best Battery Life for 2024
- Nothing Phone 2a
- vivo Y100
- OPPO Reno11 F
- vivo V40 Lite 5G
- vivo V30e
5. Nothing Phone (2a) – 17 hours 32 minutes
Aesthetics aside, the Phone (2a) also has good battery life, as we got 17 hours and 32 minutes on its 5000mAh cell in PCMark. This can be credited to its use of a Dimensity 7200 processor, which is one of the first 4nm midrange chips from MediaTek. Aside from a great battery life, the Phone (2a) has a filler-free camera setup that consists of two 50-megapixel shooters that are capable of 4K video.
4. vivo Y100 – 17 hours 36 minutes
vivo tends to overlook its Y series in the Philippines, and the Y100 marked an era where it got several good upgrades. Things like a 120hz AMOLED display, stereo speakers, and 80w charging are nice, but what impressed us is how efficient the Y100 is with its 5000mAh battery. We got 17 hours and 36 minutes on PCMark, which shows that the Y100 can easily last you for more than a day with some juice to spare for the next day.
3. OPPO Reno11 F – 17 hours 54 minutes
Those doubting the power efficiency of MediaTek processors get silenced with the Reno11 F, as its Dimensity 7050 processor manages to stretch the 5000mAh battery inside to almost 18 hours in PCMark. That’s an impressive figure and another solid proof that OPPO is catching up with vivo when it comes to improving the power efficiency of its phones through software. It can shoot 4K video for both the front and rear cameras, making the Reno11 F a long-lasting phone if you’re after content creation.
2. vivo V40 Lite 5G – 19 hours 36 minutes
The V40 Lite 5G is one of those midrange phones that pushes a 5000mAh battery to its limits with a PCMark battery life of 19.5 hours. This shows that proper optimization can go a long way with the usual 5000mAh cell we see on most phones. The 5G version of the V40 Lite uses a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, which helps in making it power efficient–and those who pre-ordered also get a unique 4-year battery warranty to top it all off.
1. vivo V30e – 24 hours
A phone lasting 24 hours on PCMark is simply nuts, and this is what the V30e has achieved with its 5500mAh battery. This makes the V30e the best vivo phone we’ve tried to date when it comes to battery life. That astounding figure means that you can stretch the V30e for up to 2 days on a single charge–which is a dream for any phone. You also get decent performance with its Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, which allows you to shoot 4K video–a perfect combo, right?
That rounds up our best Php 20k midrange phones in terms of battery life. Which one is your pick?
