It would be very inconvenient having to recharge every 2 hours, even if it is just for 30 seconds. Your smartphone would be of no use in a trip to the beach, or climbing a mountain; and it would be very easy to forget about it quite often.
I agree that battery life doesn't need to improve that much if we could recharge it in a dramatically more convenient way, but 30 seconds charge every few hours sounds insane to me.
Anyway, smartphones last way more than 2 hours unless the battery has been abused for years.
- venomsnake 13y agoI said two hours of usage. For me usage is something that requires serious burn rate. Why would I play temple run when hiking? And you could always bring juice with you if you have to use intensively for long periods your phone outside of civilization for some reason. Just pack eight 2700Mah Eneloops and you are fine. You need very simple transformer and usb connector.
