Go back ten years and we had a few days worth of battery life. Fast forward to now, and you'll get two weeks out of any non-smart phone.
- onli 13y agoThat is not true. If you bought a bigger battery, you could have 3 weeks 10 years ago (I had). And even without, 1-2 for a mobile phone was normal.
- nodata 13y agoWhich phones had 2 weeks battery life back then? Do you mean only on standby, or normal use?
- onli 13y agoThat one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_5100 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_5100 (10 days, standby). I had the 5120 for ages with a better battery from ebay, that came closer to my claims.
- at-fates-hands 13y agoEven the extended batteries were like a Boba Fett jetpack on the back of your phone and increased the size substantially. Most of the power users I knew (2,000+ minutes/month) would still burn through the battery in short order anyways. They'd get maybe an extra 6 hours, but not 2 weeks worth.
