Seidio's 3800mAh battery turns the Galaxy Nexus into Quasimodo

0. phoneArena posted on 18 Jan 2012, 08:21

The juicer is with the astonishing 3800mAh capacity, ready to power your device for more than a day of heavy usage. That is more than even the one on the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX, and TI's OMAP chips are known for their well-optimized power consumption anyway...

The nexus is a very popular and well designed phone so i cant see anyone using a battery like this in it!! People are better off getting an extended battery which does not need a replacement back cover.

looking at this battery from seido really does make the 3300 mah battery from Motorola in the droid razor maxx with only a mm or so size enlargement of the phone looking an incredible effort

Haha. The best part of the Nexus battery is making the Razr Maxx look good. That's great.

You obviously have a very small mental capacity,What was meant was 3rd party companies need to make huge battery and back cover sizes to create battery with capacity of 3000mah + while Motorola has managed it in the droid max with only a mm or so of size increase so its a feat of engineering. Perhaps your ifan brain can't comprehend this and you should go back to spending ages again trying to unlock the lockscreen of your iphone.........hint for you: you slide the unlock slider bar to the right to unlock!!

your right andro but uhh if the nexus is having battery issues i am positive this combo will help out everyone. even though its a total rip off

seido essentially soldered two stock batteries together and made a cheapie back shell to store it in. my friend has the same combo for an evo and paid over 70 dollars. thats some bs

Is there a 2600mAh version? Because that's just... Yeah, that's just a flat out "no" for me right there.

Maybe, slight maybe, if I traveled as much as I used to I'd consider this.

Seriously? Did Seidio sit down and brainstorm over the ugliest way to implement an extended battery? Good gawd!

I think many of us would be happy with a 25-2700 extended battery that wouldn't result in such an atrocity of a back cover! I bet they'd sell far more as well..

While I'd love to have the run time, I wouldn't be caught dead out in the wild with this on my phone!

I agree with the previous poster.. this makes what Moto did with the Maxx and AMAZING engineering feat! I hope what Moto did will find it's way into many many more phones to come, though with removable batteries! :)

Looks like HTC got a hold of this battery.

Looks like moto needs to go into the battery business as this is atrocious. Moto would probably make a bundle selling 3rd party batteries.

And Android phones keep getting uglier and uglier......

Do you bother reading? This is an extended battery, an accessory for your phone not a phone and many phones are quite good looking.

Oh well.

It wasn't that hard to put on and after 2-3 days of it settling it seriously feels/looks like it came that way from the factory.

Definitely recommend it!

They should shrink it to standard size battery and boost power to 3800mAh not this big and ugly external battery.

13. McLTE posted on 18 Jan 2012, 09:53

LOL

yeah. They should. Gee.. I wonder why they haven't already?!?!?! (sarcasm off)
