Android phones with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip last much longer on a single charge. Tests show unexpected gains that go beyond just having bigger batteries.

The Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro now runs for 14.5 hours in battery tests, up from 11 hours in older models. This big jump comes from a battery that’s only slightly larger than before.

The OnePlus 13 shows even better results. It runs for 17.5 hours, compared to 12.2 hours for the OnePlus 12. This 42% improvement comes with just an 11% larger battery.

The better battery life comes from the chip’s new design using 3nm technology and Oryon CPU. These changes help phones use less power for everyday tasks.

While test results might differ from daily use, the big improvements suggest you’ll see much better battery life in these phones. The OnePlus 13 and Asus ROG Phone 9 will have this chip first, with Samsung’s Galaxy S25 getting it next year.

You can now use your phone for several more hours before plugging it in. The new chip gives better battery life without needing huge batteries.
