Use the phones rankings and compare tool for under-$500 shortlists today. Battery rundown numbers arrive with methodology battery-v1.0; we will not invent drain times.
How we evaluated this: Launch briefing only. We have not published hands-on lab scores for every claim below. Manufacturer battery/ANC figures are labeled as claims. Community votes and ELO are live when a showdown exists.
Huge search demand, thin SERPs. Our edge is structured specs, update-years from the DB, and head-to-head votes — not fabricated battery hours.
