You have to spend several hundred dollars for a smartphone with a large battery and a bright screen, right? Xiaomi sees things differently and, with the Redmi 15C 4G, is launching a smartphone for tight budgets or as a second phone.

Xiaomi is leading the battery revolution. Even in its most affordable devices, battery sizes are now skyrocketing, resulting in incredibly long battery life. The Redmi 15C 4G, which we recently reviewed, has even more unusual features for a $100+ price tag.

A wide-angle camera and a macro camera in an affordable smartphone? A rarity. The Samsung Galaxy A17 4G has both, plus other features you wouldn't expect in this price range.

Gamers who want to enjoy titles in their full glory on the go need a powerful phone. Or is it more sensible to focus on long battery life in order to play through the entirety of long trips?

Those who don't want to carry a bulky outdoor phone often have to compromise on battery life. However, the relatively compact and lightweight Xiaomi Redmi 15 5G tops our battery life charts.
