4000mAh AS STANDARD

Everyone wants to talk OS platform, screen lengths, camera ... But let's be honest, when you go to bed after a very long day, only thing that matters is battery capacity.

Other than bezels, notches, punch holes, AI etc, I think companies ought to build smartphones around 4000mAh as battery capacity standard. ...

Some results of my mini experiment

So after the crazy response to my last question about things on iPhone has that you wish you could see on Android, I decided to do an experiment and hop on over to the iPhone sub reddit and ask the same questions (in reverse). This is what they had to say:




1. Customization

2. Better AI capabilities and Google Assistant: because everyone on this earth knows that Siri is shit...

3. General little things to make life easier: like a "clear all" button for apps, better default apps, an app dr...

Huawei Mate 20 X review - gsmarena

Lenovo p2 had 5100 mAh in 2016.. in a 5,5" body. What's up with the small batteries in 6"+ flagship phones?

Seriously, with the upcoming S10 that has a meager 3400 mAh battery in a 6,1" phone, (only 3000 mAh in the 5,8" S10e!!) I'm wondering if they're doing it on purpose. All batteries degrade, but 70% of 5000 mAh is a lot more usable than 70% of a 3000mAh battery. In case of the latter, you just have to buy a new phone if you want to get through a single day.

The Lenovo p2 had a 5100mAh battery in a 5,5" display! **In 2016!** For just 300$. It lasted for 2-3 days with heavy use. Sure, bezels have b...

Phone price comparisons over time

Hello guys, I've created a chart with phone prices at launch for fun. I thought it would be interesting to share. [Here it is.](https://imgur.com/a/oVKrwwy)

Things I noticed:

* Nexus was good bang for the buck, Pixel not so much.
* Huawei has always been competitive in pricing, especially now that they have the hardware to compete against the other series.
* OnePlus seems to have taken over the "bang for buck" crown from Nexus, with the Pixels being more premium-priced.
* Apple iPhone was alwa...

Tall Phones and large palms

Why have the 16:9 phones disappeared? The screen sizes have increased but the overall phone sizes have remained the same as the bezels have disappeared. But really the greatest change in the last couple of years for screens has the change in aspect ratio. People who bought large phones did so because they had big palms and thick fingers. Now even the supposedly huge OnePlus 6T at 6.41 inches feels like a remote control given its aspect ratio.

I am surprised this is not a bigger issue and users ...
