The 5 Quad HD display phones with the largest batteries
The LG G3 was the first among the big boys to feature a display with 1440 x 2560 pixels, or the so-called Quad HD (QHD) resolution, breaking the 500ppi pixel density barrier in the process. It also introduced us to the fact that with great technology advancements come some not-so-great tradeoffs, chief among those being the G3's battery life, which is inferior to most other 2014 flagships on account of the big, ultra high-res display made with previous-gen technology.
Subsequently, most major and minor brands issued phones with Quad HD display panels, to the state we are now in - nearing twenty of those QHD phones floating around, with flagships from juggernauts like Samsung, HTC or Xiaomi making the jump to the new level of mobile screen resolutions. The tradeoffs in terms of battery life and peak brightness levels seem to have remained, however - despite that the newest Quad HD panels are made with power-sipping production technology, none of them logged any impressive longevity achievements.
That is why we are rounding up five of the QHD phones with the largest battery packs, in order to help you choose one that won't midday with heavy usage. Battery capacity is not everything, of course, but in today's world of shared components, it is becoming an increasingly good indicator of how long your phone will last, especially if it is made by a major brand.
