However, the manufacturers have come up with a possible way to help you out in the case of water damage. There are many sensors and indicators in the modern smartphones and one such indicator is the Liquid Control Indicator.

The lithium ion batteries used in smartphones come with a water strip on them. Well, this is a small sticker that is white in color usually. If there is water damage to the battery, this strip will turn pink or red indicating that you shouldn't use the battery anymore.

But having said that, a big battery on a low spec, or worse a badly designed phone is also of no use. So here's our list of phones that not just offer great battery life but also come with best specs (well, almost).   Moto E4 Plus Kicking things off is the recently launched Moto E4 Plus which brings with it a massive 5000 mAh battery pack, a 5.5-inch 720p display, a fingerprint sensor running on Android 7.1.1. It's also equipped with a capable MediaTek MT 6737 quad-core processor clocking at 1.3GHz paired with 3GB RAM. There's also 32GB of inbuilt storage...
