REDMI batteries last longer than iPhone: Tests prove it

Let’s get right to it: in recent battery performance evaluations, Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 13 has proven itself a clear winner over the iPhone when it comes to long-term battery health. After 1200 charging cycles—which translates to roughly 3-4 years of regular daily use—the Redmi Note 13 retains an impressive 91% battery health. For comparison, the iPhone typically drops to about 70% after the same period. That kind of difference isn’t just a number; it’s a distinct business advantage for Xiaomi in the highly competitive smartphone market.

Xiaomi’s approach to battery technology is paying off. The Redmi Note 13 features advanced battery management and optimized charging protocols designed to minimize long-term degradation. Independent testing confirms nearly 12 hours of video playback and 14 hours of web browsing on a single charge. For professionals who depend on their devices to get through busy workdays, this level of reliability is a serious asset.

To clarify, a battery cycle is a full discharge and recharge. Most users will reach 1200 cycles in about 3-4 years, depending on usage patterns. Battery health dropping below 80% is the industry benchmark for replacement, and symptoms like rapid battery drain or unexpected shutdowns are signs it’s time to act. Proactive battery management can mean fewer replacements and less downtime over the lifespan of a device.

Best practices for maximizing battery health are straightforward:

Maintain charge between 20% and 80% for optimal longevity.
Avoid charging to 100% each time; 80-90% is sufficient and healthier for the battery.
Prevent the battery from depleting to 0% whenever possible.

For those looking to further enhance their Xiaomi device experience, the MemeOS Enhancer app (available on the Play Store) can unlock additional features and help keep the system optimized—a useful tool for business users seeking peak performance.

In short: Xiaomi’s battery technology offers a clear benefit for users who value durability and dependability in their smartphones. It’s a compelling case for professionals considering their next device purchase.
