There is no denying that smartphones are becoming more and more multifunctional with every passing day. But, how about
their battery life and who hasn't bore the agony of dead phone in their hand. So it makes sense to go for a phone with extra battery juice, but then most of the battery life tests are not all that reliable. However, good people at laptopmag improvised their laptop battery life test for the mobile phones and came up with some surprising results. What did not come as a surprise is the fact that the phones with fancy AMOLED screens are power guzzlers, while Motorola's Droid X gives you the best bang for your battery bucks.
Motorola Droid X with its 1500 mAh battery lasted for 7 hours and 42 minutes. Yet another surprising finding is related to Dell Streak, which despite its bigger screen managed to outpace all the other phones at 7 hours and 35 minutes. Samsung and HTC phones performed worst with lower than average performance. Even the most enduring Samsung Epic 4G gave up at 5 hour 34 minutes. HTC Incredible and its 1300 mAh battery lasted for only 4 hours and 33 minutes. So, what is your take on this experiment? Would you consider buying a phone solely because its battery lasts longer?

One thought on “Droid X Champs the Android Battery Life Test”
I’ve been watching this marketplace for many months and currently favour the DROID X, the Dell Streak and the ACER Stream – each as much for their battery life as their functionality and appearance
Closely following them is the Samsung Galaxy Tab (so called) and I’m prepared to include this even though it’s battery life might not be quite in the same class as the earlier three. Not that I know, of course, because there has been no statement (at least I’ve not yet found one) as to battery performance yet for the Samsung device.
But … underlying all this is the simple truth that if you charge your device whilst you are sleeping, it will normally be ready to last you through a full day’s work – unless you’re working for MI6 or the CIA and – to coin a phrase – you’re at it day and night !
Finally, if you use your chosen device as a ‘sat-nav’ in a car, it’s probably going to be charging all the time anyway. As well it might, even if you have buy yourself a regular battery driven re-charger as a fall-back power source in the car or your briefcase.
Frankly, if anyone allows their phone/tablet to ‘die’ from lack of power … they’ve only themselves to blame.
Choosing a phone device for it’s power/life capacity is quite low down on my list.
