The ZenFone 3 packs a 3,000mAh battery, with USB Type-C standard fast-charging, which looks quite good if you consider the industry standards and other hardware details of this device. On our standard video loop test, we got over 8 hours of continuous video playback, with the brightness pumped up to maximum, and some apps running in the background, and the WiFi turned on. 

But in real-life usage, the ZenFone 3 fared better. Under heavy usage, with the network being alternated between WiFi and data, we got to run the ZenFone 3 for an entire work day, needing to top up the battery only in the late evening, just before the cab ride back home. The work day would start typically at 9.30 am, with the battery charged fully, and through the day we would use the device to consume media, browse through a lot of viral videos on Facebook, play all sorts of games, check out Instagram frequently and also make a few calls, and we would need to top the device off only by 7.30 pm, where it would have 20% of charge left. On moderate usage, however, while using the ZenFone 3 as a secondary phone, with many power-saving methods applied, we did manage to squeeze out a little more than a full day of battery backup from the device.
