Devices evaluated enclosed a Samsung Galaxy(TM) S II Skyrocket(TM) and
Samsung Galaxy Note from ATT, and a Motorola DROID BIONIC and

Not surprisingly, a higher battery ability of a Motorola DROID
RAZR MAXX allows it to outperform other inclination in battery life in all
applications, with circuit-switched voice job being a most

As an indicator of hurdles faced by device OEMs, all of a devices
underneath exam would final reduction than 5 hours on a entirely charged battery
