Though many a manufacturer and consumer get caught up in the hype of hi-def displays and multi-core processors, it’s refreshing to see a renewed focus on improving battery life. A phone is nothing without power, but balancing battery size and portability has long been a struggle for manufacturers.
Luckily, Samsung was able to squeeze a 2,600 mAh battery into the Galaxy S4 without adding much to the overall size of the device. What’s more, they did it with a removable power cell. This means should the allotted capacity run dry, users with a spare battery can easily swap out the drained one.
But the good news is most won’t need to worry about that, as the Galaxy S4 on normal use is more than capable of surviving a full day on a single charge. After about 15 hours of messaging, web surfing, and taking some photos and videos at the ball game I was left with a 16 percent charge.
On days where I threw in a good chunk of gaming and media viewing, mileage varied. As you can see from the above screen grab, it’s possible to get close to 24 hours of use without the need to go hunting for a power outlet. On average, a single charge is all you will need to get you from sun up to sun down.
