[citation][nom]SchizoFrog[/nom]I'm sick of people complaining about battery life every time there is a phone article, it is what it is. You are getting a device that has that latest and greatest technology hardware and then complain that they don't last as long as old style mobiles. That is like buying a super car to replace your economical one and then complaining because it guzzles the petrol. You are not buying a smart phone for its battery, but for what it can do. If you want long lasting performance try buying an old style phone instead,[/citation]
theres some flaws in your argument. its great that mobile phone tech is still rising but that doesnt mean battery life should be kept at a mediocre level. phones can already do alot as they are now, I think OEMs can afford to take a break from the speed race and focus on battery life for a gen.
this question would probably spark fury from people here, but why would you want more powerful phones? what would you do with all the extra power that cant already be done fast? you could say graphics and games, but from what Ive seen here on toms, most people that want more powerful phones dont quite enjoy touch control gaming on tiny phones.
so, what do you want to do on the phone? when a rich guy buys a Lambo, he enjoys it and shows it off to everyone. a short while after, the new car smell dies off, and he starts getting irritated with stopping for gas often. he switches off to a bmw, which gets him from place to place, is less flashy, is less fast but still quite fast, and is many times more gas efficient. which would be the best option?(this was a phone analogy thing...)
