Okay so some people don’t even have the latest hardware revision so they’re stuck with a phone that will never support suspending and will have terrible battery life forever?
- seba_dos1 3y agoNo? Where did you even get this idea from? Early backers who explicitly opted in to receive early batches from before mass production have smaller capacity batteries, and that's about it.
- mattl 3y agoCan those users buy a new battery that’s a higher capacity?
- seba_dos1 3y agoNo, the new batteries don't fit. Those specific people knew what they opted in for though. Everyone who didn't received the final version.
- mattl 3y agoSo there are people out there with a phone with a 1-2 hour battery life? Ouch.
- seba_dos1 3y ago2 hours of active use, or about 10 hours in suspend. Not sure what's so "ouch" about it. People also bought devkits which didn't come with any battery at all. Only some people were presented with the opportunity to receive a phone from the earliest revisions and only some of those people chose to - presumably those who cared more about getting a platform to hack on as early as possible than things like battery life.
- mattl 3y agoIt’s an unacceptable amount of time for a phone. Devkit is one thing, but if you’re buying a phone you should expect more than few hours of usage.
- seba_dos1 3y agoYou're completely out of touch. If you're explicitly choosing to receive an early pre-mass production batch with unfinished battery, you already know what you expect.
- mattl 3y agoHave any non-early phones shipped yet? Where are the all-day battery versions of these phones? It sounds like they’re still not ready.
- seba_dos1 3y agoThey've been shipping for two years now.
- mattl 3y agoAnd yet people in this thread are talking about garbage battery life, phones not showing up, etc?
- seba_dos1 3y agoSo maybe read what they're writing more carefully, you've already got all the answers here. The mass produced phones that started shipping mid-2021 have 4500mAh battery and, with current software, reach about 20h in suspend with modem on and connected. Due to component shortages and other delays it's still shipping through backorders, although the queue is near its end right now.
