How long does a 4,000 mah battery last in a mobile phone

The battery is one of the characteristics that we usually pay attention to when buying a new device. The evolution of telephony has made it a very important aspect, if we do not want to be left without a mobile phone in a few hours. This has brought with it that most manufacturers include batteries that reach 4,000 mAh in their new equipment, and that they also have a fast charging system. This is the case of the Samsung Galaxy A50 or the Huawei Mate 20.

Now, how much can a 4,000 mAh battery give? Like everything, it will depend a lot on the use we give it. It is not the same to spend all day playing games, using heavy applications or taking selfies all the time, than to make a standard use in which we use the phone to occasionally look at WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, browse for a while, take a photo, check the mail from time to time, or make a short call.

To all this we must add other relevant features such as the screen, one of the sections that can most deplete the battery. If you also have a mobile with a large panel and good resolution, the consumption can be excessive. In this case, it is very important to regulate the brightness to a point close to the minimum (without you stop seeing) and turn on the mobile only when you are going to use it. Avoid being all the time with the panel on or hitting the button for vice without looking at anything.

4,000 mAh, how many hours is it?

As we say, the battery life is something very relative, but there are some standard figures set by the manufacturers. It is estimated that with a 4,000 mAh we can enjoy a whole day in telephone conversation, about 12 hours of browsing and almost 15 hours of playing videos. Also, with a 4,000 mAh battery, the total duration in standby mode is 90 hours, a time that is not bad at all.

With examples, if we establish an average reading of two and a half minutes per article, when you have the battery fully charged, you will be able to read almost 300 articles in your expert before recharging it. That gives you to find out everything that happens in the technology sector for a month. Similarly, if you have not seen the latest season of Black Mirror and have the need to delight in each of its chapters, you can download and play them to see them in one go with a single charge. If what you like is the cinema, you can also watch three complete cult films in a row such as Apocalypse Now, the first part of The Godfather or Wong Kar-wai's Wishing to Love. And, if you like Pink Floyd, you can play all the songs on The Wall up to 20 times to enjoy them wherever you are.

Current phones with a 4,000 mAh battery

There are quite a few models on the market that have a 4,000 mAh battery. Let's review some of them.

Samsung Galaxy A50

One of Samsung's great devices this year for the mid-range has been the Galaxy A50. The terminal comes with a slim design, all screen with notch in the shape of a drop of water, and a 4,000 mAh battery. Looking at it, the big question is: How has Samsung managed to pack a 4,000 mAh battery into such a slim body? It is something that surprises and that we appreciate. In our tests, we were able to use the terminal for a whole day pulling demanding processes, such as the Pokémon GO app, which needs the strength of the graphics processor, the GPS and the panel to function as it should. We can say that the A50 battery is more than enough for a user who makes intensive use of the terminal and does not want to be continuously glued to the socket.

In any case, we can always use its fast charging technology, which with only half an hour of charging fills us more than half of the battery.
