The S4 has 2600 mAh battery (compared to the 2100 mAh of the S3 and the 1650 mAh of the S2).

But the S3 has a higher resolution screen and will definitely drain power more quickly.

If you want a smartphone with a great battery life, try the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx which has a 3300 mAh battery and twice more battery life than others.

You REALLY have to get your numbers right...S4 has a higher resolution screen...You kept comparing S4 to S2 in an earlier post too, when I'm fairly sure you meant S3.

Any portable device, with constant use, is going to run out of battery fast. Until a big big break through comes in battery technology this will be the case.

Does it have a good battery yet
The S2 had a REALLY good battery. Same with the S3. They were the best around at their release basically. But for a device that is constantly syncing with Facebook, Email, and the mobile network when it's idle, plus all the action of when it's on (including running a huge screen compared to portabl/handheld devices of only a couple of years ago), I'm not sure what you expect. You get any smart phone, be it an iPhone, any Android or Windows phone, and you'll get the same thing. If you don't you're getting less features. It's basically as simple as that.

I think the next BIG break through in mobile technology may come in how much capacity can be put into a portable sized battery, but until then, I'm just glad Samsung allow you to remove the battery. I always have spares, which are small, and fit in my pocket. Then I never fear running out on a night out etc (and it's much smaller than carrying around one of those extended power cases etc)

No. I was comparing the S2 to the S4 in the previous posts. Some people didn't want to upgrade to the S3 from the S2 because the S3 didn't offer much more than the S2.

My point is: the S3 is not a lot superior to the S2 but the S4 is a lot superior to the S2 and therefore worth the upgrade.

Yes I meant the S4 has a greater resolution. My bad on this one.

The main reason I wanted to upgrade out of my S2 is the battery life. It lasts 5 hours of heavy use and maybe 8 of moderate use, and possibly 18 hours of very little use. In other words, if I plan to use it, I need to have a charger handy or a spare battery. It's pretty annoying because it restricts me even though in terms of performance I'm still satisfied with it since I upgraded to Jelly bean.

This is the third battery I've gone through. They all seem good at first but begin to drain at the same pace in a matter of months. I'm resigned to the notion that the S2 is just an energy hog. It works well, but the down side of it is the battery drain. When I upgrade I hope that to be one of the main things to improve with the S4 or the Note 2.
I would suggest that replacing the battery is fixing very little. Battery technology is pretty good these days, and they rarely degrade like it used to.

I would say that odds are you just have too many apps that have push services, or pull services updating too regularly. Apart from that, the highest user of power is the screen.

5 hours of heavy use is still reasonable to be honest I think. If heavy use is mobile browsing, etc, consider the size of the battery (compared to say a laptop or even tablet battery), consider that little battery (not much bigger than a AA really!) is powering a device that is doing so much - this is a device that is more powerful than a PS2, and it is also powering its own screen, syncing constantly with the web etc.

If you want a battery that lasts, get any smart phone, turn off the data connection, switch your mobile network mode to GSM, don't use it as a portable media player, and don't play processor hungry games (ie. play games like you would have on an old nokia)....If you aren't happy doing any of those things, unfortunately it takes battery power.

Do you use a case on your phones? I have had major issues with the plastic. The paint on the chrome bezel on my SGS 1 started to come off, exposing the black underlying plastic. There has been some wear on my SGS3's battery door but that's not a major issue because I can buy a new battery door from ebay. The build quality of the SGS3, despite the plastic, is much better than the previous galaxies though.

No I never use a case. I like the Galaxy phones because they're slim and light. Putting a case on negates that.

Is paint on the bezel really a big deal? You're like a girl buying a car because of its colour, instead of because of the performance or comfort.

They're fucking rectangles with large screens.

What's wrong with that? The less rectangle, and more screen the better? When the interface is purely touch screen, bezel is a waste of pocket space.

Oh, the way you worded that comparison post was confusion. Especially when you then went on to say the plastic of the S4 was a negative...it possibly is, but not in comparison to the S2 (new paragraph maybe?)

I was one of those people who wasn't happy with the S3 announcement. Samsung fixed most of my issues when they released i9305 though. It had the additional RAM and LTE that I thought any new phone needed to be future proof. The camera wasn't as a big a concern for me.

I really hope that Samsung make a 4-4.5" version of the SGS4 (SGS mini or compact or something?) with decent specs. The SGS3 Mini wasn't an SGS3 mini at all. It was just another Samsung phone using the Galaxy name to sell handsets. A high spec, phone, of 4-4.5" (SGS2 size, but higher res screen) with a faster processor, more RAM, better camera etc would be great. I wasn't sure I wanted anything bigger than my SGS2...then my SGS3 convinced me. I'm very glad the SGS4 isn't physically any bigger - just a bigger screen. But now I'd like to see something smaller.

I honestly have no idea about batteries and the likes so I just assume bigger/heavier = better and wouldn't mind if the phone was thicker to incorporate a larger battery meaning I can actually use my phone in the daylight without having to squint because it's on minimum brightness

Nothing wrong with that, it's just that the "iPhone has so much more design than the Galaxy" thing is absurd.

I always have spare batteries. But if you don't want to do that you can get extended power batteries, which give you a new case backing to fit the extra mAH in - basically creating exactly what you want. A fatter phone that lasts longer.

I'd rather have a thinner phone, and carry the extra battery around separately, that way the two can be split between pockets etc, and the spare battery doesn't need to be taken anywhere you don't need it to be.

Either way, but can't really be done on the iPhone or even the new HTCs with the sealed body.

I have an extended battery, it lasts roughly 2 hours more but the phone looks like it's pregnant. I hate it, so I just use as a last resort. I was pretty disappointed with it since it was like 50 bucks.

I bought another battery, this time a thin one, but it had good battery life. After about three months it went back to lasting roughly 5-8 hours with medium to heavy use. I just carry a spare whenever I feel I won't make it or I just carry a charger. Although I hate it, I'm pretty much used to carrying one ever since I bought a smart phone.


nady;3423646 said:
Have you ever tried a factory reset?

Yeah, anytime I updated a ROM in the phone I'd factory reset. There would be a kick of battery life power at first, but it eventually would calibrate to about the same. I played with different kernels and CPU governors but I rather have the phone working fully than a laggy phone with moderately better battery life. After all, the screen is a huge battery hog, and it's just the way it is.

I'm really not sure it's the battery calibrating or becoming worse..I wonder how much the new batteries lasting longer is placebo OR a fresh in install/reset so loads less services running.

As mentioned in my last post, I don't like the extended life batteries - most third party ones you can't trust the mAH rating on anyway, I prefer just the real deal replacements. I did have some cheap non-Samsung batteries for my SGS2, but I much prefer genuine Samsung. Especially with the SGS3, where the NFC functionality is dependant on the battery.

There is finally a working version of Cyanogen Mod for the i9305, so as of today I'm giving it a go. Could be interesting in regards to battery life. Sometimes all the Samsung propriety crap can zap some power.

Such is consumerism, they don't want you to pull it apart or repair it, they want you to buy another one.
I donwloaded the most recent IOS for my Ipad and it claims among other things to be more economical with the battery life... not sure how that works...

$500 is way too much for a tablet that has only 16 Gb space and no micro SD slot. You get decent laptops with 500 Gb storage for cheaper these days.

I also don't understand why you need a 2048 x 1536 resolution on a 10 inch screen? Most movies are 1080p or less. This is just to bump up the price. 1080p or even 720p would do just fine for such a small display.

The display is to keep the retina display, and make it hard to see pixels. It does make for a nice display.

Chuck - there are LOADS of ways with mobile operating systems to change things to lower battery use. The way the processors scale up and down, the way multi tasking is handled etc etc.

Cyanogen Mod on SGS3 4G is awesome. But I've gone back to stock, simply because I need MHL

Who cares if its "hard to see the pixels" or not? Retina display is overrated. Just makes the device significantly more expensive.
