Only 6 smartphones outlasted the iPhone 16 Pro Max's battery life:

Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro:  20:34 (19% longer)
OnePlus 13:            19:45 (14% longer)
OnePlus 13R:           18:49 (09% longer)
Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro:  18:48 (09% longer)
Moto G 2025:           18:32 (07% longer)
OnePlus 12R:           18:08 (05% longer)
iPhone 16 Pro Max:     17:17

You can look up the sizes of all of their batteries:

Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro:  5800 mAh (23% larger)
OnePlus 13:            6000 mAh (28% larger)
OnePlus 13R:           6000 mAh (28% larger)
Asus ROG Phone 8 Pro:  5500 mAh (17% larger)
Moto G 2025:           5000 mAh (07% larger)
OnePlus 12R:           5500 mAh (17% larger)
iPhone 16 Pro Max:     4685 mAh

Do you see a pattern there?

It each case except for the Moto G, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is more 
EFFICIENT than the other smartphones that exceed its battery life.

Game, set, match.
