I would rather die than browse the web for 4h+ on my phone (gs2)

Well it's that much more impressive for the maxx considering it uses lte and the iphone is on 3g. I'm curious how the iphone will stack up if it finally gets lte this fall.

Biases by pa? You do realize this article was taken from gsmarena? Probably not.

did u even read the article? pa did not conduct this test…

i use an ip4s and i charge it every other day… i will say the battery life has not improved from the the ip4, but lasting two days is perfect for me… try draining your battery all the way down and charging it back up to full, it kind of resets it and helps it a lot.. but i use half brightness and the battery is perfect for me

Watch the video first, then judge for yourselves.

E6's battery is rated for 15 hours talk time on 2g and about 7hrs 30 minutes on 3g.

Very well, watched the video and judged it. In my opinion this is marketing brain rot that proves nothing and wasted two minutes of my time.

First of all, why travel around the world? Wouldn't saying at home off charger for the same period of time suffice? Of that one week, how many hours was the phone off (e.g. in flight on the plane)? Also, I couldn't help but notice we don't see him actually using the phone in the video. And apart from a brief segment the majority of the video was shot in populated areas which probably have good coverage (the phone need not work very hard to communicate with the local cell network).

not if they make it at least 6mm and add a monster battery like the razr maxx.

What the hell are you doing then? Watching P**** movies non stop, having 7 others load in the backgriund and the display at full brightness?

The iPhone 4S is the very next entry after the LTE Galaxy Note, but PA have trimmed the list so that it's not so huge. The 4S is definitely a web and media consumption focussed device.

Not with that puny screen it isn't!

Outlast yes, but whats the point of having a long battery life is the experience and OS is horrid

The HTC Radar is a Windows 7 Phone, it is in the Web Browsing paragraph.

27. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)

BlackBerry Curve 9380, Nokia n9, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 900, Samsung i937 Focus S, HTC Radar, BlackBerry Bold 9790 are also on the list, if you didn't notice.

GSMArena only recently introduced this battery test segment and they only do this test on the phones they review, not all of the phones tt come to e market
