- mwcampbell 11y agoSure, but did the Newton have much better battery life because it was larger? That is, did it use that extra space to hold a much higher-capacity battery?
- Gracana 11y agoThe Newton doesn't have an advantage in battery capacity, despite being bigger. They used 4xAA NiMH batteries in series, so 1800mAh-ish. Two points of comparison: The iPhone 6 Plus has about the same capacity, and a Samsung Galaxy S6 has 2500mAh capacity.
- jfb 11y agoTrue. It's probably the screen, and the lack of active radios.
