FULL STORY
======================================================================

Even the very best phones can sometimes leave you wanting when it comes to 
battery life, with todays most premium handsets  think the Samsung Galaxy S23 
Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro Max  topping out at around a day of heavy usage. 

Naturally, bigger batteries come at the expense of portability  but that 
hasnt stopped one Reddit user from attempting to answer the question: what 
would happen if you strapped an enormous power pack to the rear of a cheap 
smartphone? 

As spotted by 9to5Google , Redditor u/Downtown_Cranberry44 has performed some 
DIY wizardry to successfully attach a working 30,000mAh battery to their 
Samsung Galaxy A32 5G . Yes, you read that right  a 30,000mAh battery. For 
context, thats six times the size of the Galaxy A32 5Gs original 5,000mAh 
battery, which already yields around two days of moderate use. 

You do the math: if youre getting two days of juice from a 5,000mAh battery, 
a 30,000mAh battery should  on paper, at least  yield almost two weeks worth 
of battery life. Theres a good chance, then, that u/Downtown_Cranberry44 has 
in their possession the worlds longest-lasting smartphone. Check out some 
images of the modified device below: Image 1 of 3 (Image credit: Reddit /

Of course, this isnt the sort of DIY modification we'd recommend performing 
yourself at home. For starters, the 30,000mAh battery pack looks to have made 
this particular Galaxy A32 5G nigh on unusable, adding around a pound (half a 
kilo) of weight and 3 cm of extra size to an otherwise slim and lightweight 
smartphone. 

The bigger concern, though, is one of safety. As 9to5Google notes, power 
packs of this size are more prone to leakage and exterior damage; theres a 
reason you cant board a flight with batteries any larger than 27,000mAh under 
current US law. 

For now, then, this sort of at-home experimentation is nothing more than that 
 we dont expect to see Apple adding a massive batteries to the rear of the 
iPhone 15 , for instance. But experiments like this can help us to appreciate 
just how much clever engineering goes into the neat packaging of c. 5,000mAh 
batteries in todays smartphones. 

In terms of the phones that offer the longest-lasting batteries in 2023, 
youll get around 16 hours from the Asus ROG Phone 6 , and just over 13 hours 
from both the recently released Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra and iPhone 14 Pro 
Max.
