HTC One A9 battery life test

HTC One A9 – the phone to redeem HTC’s past mistakes and the hope for higher sales. Our review impressions turned out a mixed-bag – the One A9 indeed is a device of great build, snappy and offers capable camera, but it’s quite expensive right now.

The holiday season is upon us though and we hope in just few weeks the price goes down to more reasonable levels. And while we are waiting for the change, we present you the full battery breakdown.

HTC One A9 is powered by a 2,150 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery, which looks about right for a 5″ device. We’ve seen Samsung AMOLED’s produce great battery endurance, but we’ve also seen quite poor non-Samsung phones with AMOLED. So, we were very eager to put the One A9 through its paces.

The 3G talk time endurance turned out unimpressive, though expected considering the battery capacity.

Xiaomi Mi 4c battery life test

Xiaomi Mi 4c passed through our review with flying colors – we were very pleased with its performance and still camera quality. Today it’s time to give its battery life our traditional breakdown treatment.

The Mi 4c runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 and its USB Type-C port is fast charging-enabled. Xiaomi even provides you with a proper power plug to charge its 3,080 mAh blazing-fast.

Our first test measures the 3G talk time endurance and the Mi 4c did great here – it lasted about 18 and a half hours before its battery went dead.

Week 44 in review: connectivity issues and foldable screens

This week saw some high profile launches, some promises of future technological marvels and was punctuated by some drama surrounding Apple.

The company is having flashbacks of the iPhone 4 launch. The Apple iPhone 6s reception was tested against a variety of Androids and other phones and the 6s not only scored less than the iPhone 6 (its predecessor) it also scored less than the iPhone 4. Strangely, the 4S is behind the iPhone 4 too.

The affordable, premium OnePlus X got a ton of attention too. With a 5″ AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution and Snapdragon 801 it entices Galaxy S4 users, with an anodized aluminum body or the premium option, ceramics. These will cost $250/£200 and £270 respectively (no ceramic for the US).

Samsung’s ‘Project Valley,’ a foldable smartphone, will be unveiled in January next year. The unique contraption will launch in several EU countries and, of course, South Korea. That makes up for still not having an EU Galaxy Note5, right?

Samsung’s R&D department got even more love when word came out of Korea that the Exynos 8890 chipset (slated for the Galaxy S7) will hit the production lines in December. Codenamed ‘Mongoose,’ this chipset will debut Samsung’s custom CPU cores, a break away from the ARM designs.

The company staid in the headlines with the Samsung Galaxy View, its 18.4″ tablet. It features TV integration and wants to be a portable smartscreen at home and serve the whole family with a mini social network.

The rollout of the stable version of MIUI 7 got a lot of people excited too. It’s landing on a number of Mi and Redmi devices over the air and promises faster UI, longer battery life and better customization.

The Oppo Neo 7 is a fairly affordable entry into the 5″ market. At $200 it’s not very competitive with the OnePlus X though, with only qHD resolution (540 x 960) and Snapdragon 410 chipset and no special build materials.

Report reveals launch markets for Samsung’s foldable ‘Project Valley’ smartphone
Last month, there were reports that the device will be ready for unveiling in January next year.

Samsung Exynos 8890 for Galaxy S7 to hit mass production in December
The upcoming chipset will be Samsung’s first ever to use custom-designed CPU cores, and not ARM’s.

Stabilization test: iPhone 6s vs. iPhone 6s Plus

Buried under the piles of footage we took with this year’s iPhones, a comparison between the video output of the iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus somehow managed to go unpublished. Well, that changes here and now. OK, actually we added it to both reviews yesterday, we’re just making sure you’re in the loop.

So, as you can imagine, everything else being equal, the VS focuses on optical image stabilization. The iPhone 6s doesn’t have it, and the Plus does. Where the iPhone 6 Plus only used it for stills, starting from this generation it’s also employed when shooting video.

And it makes all the difference in the world. Building on top of the already capable electronic image stabilization of the iPhone 6s, putting the hardware to good use yields even better results. You don’t need to trust us on this one, watch it for yourself in the video…

Here are the new phones and tablets of the week

This was a busy week and a great one for lovers of XL-sized Androids, though we got a couple of 5-inchers too.

Motorola unveiled two Verizon devices – the Droid Turbo 2 and the Droid Maxx 2. The Motorola Droid Turbo 2 is a month away from launch and is Moto’s new top dog. It has a 5.4″ QHD P-OLED display and is powered by Snapdragon 810, so it tops the Moto X Style. It does borrow its 21MP camera and stereo speakers.

The Motorola Droid Maxx 2 is Verizon’s version of the Moto X Play. This means a 5.5″ 1080p screen, water repellant coating (IP52) and a 21MP camera. Unlike the Turbo 2, the Droid Maxx 2 records 1080p video instead of 4K. Both have huge batteries though, 3,730mAh and 3,630mAh respectively.

The duo launched on October 29. The Droid Maxx 2 goes for $624 (full retail price) and the Droid Turbo 2 is $384. You can pay those in monthly installments too.

Samsung unveiled its honking big 18.4″ tablet, the Samsung Galaxy View. It’s more of a portable smart screen with TV integration with 4W stereo speakers. The 1080p screen resolution and octa-core Cortex-A53 aren’t greatly impressive though. It’s coming November 6 for $600.

MetroPCS (and soon T-Mobile) got an affordable 5.5-incher from Alcatel. The Alcatel Fierce XL has a 720p screen and an 8MP camera with Polaroid software. It’s powered by Snapdragon 210 and will cost $140 when it launches on November 2.

OnePlus X, the company’s first 5″ phone, was unveiled this week with a 5″ 1080p screen, Snapdragon 801 chipset and an optional ceramic body. The base version has an anodized metal frame, but the premium ceramic version (only 10,000 will be made) takes 28 hours in a 1,480°C to manufacture. The base version is $250/£200 and the ceramic one is £270 (not available in the US).

Oppo has a more modest 5-incher, the Neo 7, with a qHD screen (540 x 960px), Snapdragon 410 and an 8MP f/2.0 camera. It’s $200 and launched in Asia, the Middle East and Africa (headed to Mexico later on).

Finally, a 7″ dual-SIM tablet from BLU. That’s right, the BLU Studio 7.0 LTE has two SIM slots and 4G LTE. It launched on Amazon in the US and will set you back $200. Other than the great connectivity, the specs are fairly modest with a 7″ 720p screen, Snapdragon 410 chipset and Android 5.1.

Weekly poll results: Xperia Z5 trashes Galaxy S6, iPhone 6s

The clash of titans has ended and the Sony Xperia Z5 has emerged victorious. Cementing its position as the most loved high-end smartphone, the Z5 gathered more votes than the other two combined and never really had much opposition.

Finishing last, the iPhone 6s managed to collect a lowly 16% of the nearly 13,000 votes. The Android vs. iOS battle turned out not to be in its favor – instead of an even spread between the OS’s, which would leave the iPhone in front, Apple’s creation couldn’t even attract a third of the readers.

The Samsung Galaxy S6, on the other hand, enticed a bit more than a quarter of the voters for a 28% overall result. Despite being the oldest of the three by some six months, it’s still a solid performer and a regular in the Top 10 trending chart week after week.

The Sony Xperia Z5 scored twice what the S6 did – 56% of the upvotes went its way. Now, Sony’s loyal supporters been known to mobilize when the situation calls for it, but with such high numbers we’re inclined to believe there’s more to the Z5’s win than your everyday fan love.

Top 10 trending phones of week 44

In yet another edition of our weekly Top 10 trending chart, we witness the Samsung Galaxy J-series dominate. A total of three members of the Korean manufacturer’s affordable line are present, one of them in the top spot.

The Galaxy J2 returns after briefly falling off the wagon last week, and we now find it in seventh. The other two Js seem to be bolted to the podium – the J5 returns to its runner-up position, which the Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 (now nowhere to be found) briefly claimed for a week, while the J7 holds the top spot for a fourth week in a row in terms of specs page hits.

The Galaxy Grand Prime joins its cousins on the podium in third, keeping the Galaxy Note5 away from the medals. The iPhone 6s is in fifth spot, customarily occupying the middle of the chart.

It’s the Meizu metal, which is the only true new entry this week. The Helio X10-powered metal-clad 5.5-inch phablet joins the race in sixth position, a few hundred hits per day ahead of the J2.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 flagship, which held the crown for months earlier this year, is now in eighth position, keeping company to the Sony Xperia Z5, itself in ninth. The LG Nexus 5X, in the running since last week, has slipped three spots down to tenth and completes this week’s list of most popular phones.

Carry your battery pack around the waist with the Ion Belt, now on Kickstarter

Battery packs are heavy and bulky and are yet another item you need to remember to pick up when leaving home. Or risk being left with no power in your smartphone, but nobody does that, we’ve been told.

Now, what if you could have batteries implanted or strapped to yourself, so you’d be guaranteed to have extra juice on the go? Or more realistically, embed them in an object you’d wear anyway, such as your belt.

More or less that seems to be the reasoning behind the Ion Belt – a leather belt with a built in 3,000mAh battery pack. Filling the pack is done by inserting the pin into a USB port, while feeding your electronic device of choice takes place at the tail end of the belt where you have a female USB port. There is also an LED indicator for battery level like on any self-respecting battery pack.

The Ion Belt is being crowdfunded on Kickstarter, and less than a day into the campaign it’s gathered $20,000 of the $50,000 goal, so it’s looking promising.

Gionee Elife S Plus is an octa-core 5.5-incher, Indian launch imminent

Gionee is all set to launch the Elife S Plus phablet in India, apparently. Teasing the device on its Facebook page is part of the story, but the folks over at PhoneRadar have also managed to get their hands on a live unit and some press materials.

The smartphone will come with a 5.5-inch AMOLED display protected by Gorilla Glass 3, though the HD resolution isn’t spectacular. It will be powered by the Mediatek MT6753 chipset with an octa-core processor coupled with 3GB of RAM. Built-in storage is quoted at 16GB with the option for expansion via microSD.

A 13MP primary camera on the back is paired with a single-LED flash, while the selfie shooter is a 5MP unit. Battery capacity is listed at 3,150mAh and filling up is done through the USB Type-C port on the bottom.

The Gionee Elife S Plus will boot Android 5.1.1 Lollipop with the company’s home-grown Amigo OS on top, in its 3.1 iteration. The LTE-enabled smartphone will have dual-SIM capability and all of the above will be yours for INR 16,999 ($260).
