Smartphone battery capacity is one of the important features to check when deciding to get a new cell phone. Without a battery, your smartphone basically won’t work so no matter the other features the device has, it will be useless when there is no power to keep it functioning. When talking about long-lasting batteries, we mean those batteries with 4000mAh capacity rating and above.
The science of smartphone batteries and how to keep them charged has generated many controversies for some years now but the fact still remains; smartphones that use lithium-ion batteries are super light and can hold charges longer than other types of batteries. However, they begin degrading as soon as they are manufactured while heavy batteries that take time to charge usually retain their charge and last much longer.
Why are smartphones with long-lasting battery capacity a necessity?
The answer is simple. Because power supply in this part of the world is not constant, it is therefore wiser to go for a device that can keep you going for at least the whole day with one single charge. A perfect example of a phone with long lasting battery is the Partner Mobile PS-Power smartphone with an amazing 6300mAh battery capacity that can last you up to two days of normal usage.
Before now, phones with high capacity battery were seen as a burden because of the fact that they usually take forever to complete charging but thanks to the advancement in technology that has brought “quick charging technology”, it is now possible for such phones to charge from 0% to100% in just below one hour. Below are some of the reasons you should use phones with better battery life.
- It Will Give Your Business a Boost:When you have a phone with long lasting battery capacity, the chances of missing important calls, mails, SMS and even business chats become very slim because your device is always switched on. As a business man or woman, you wouldn’t like to disappoint your customers, both old and potential, that want to get information or discuss business with you. So, getting a device with powerful battery is advisable.
- Good For Job Seekers:Do you know your phone can make you miss that important job briefing or interview? As a result of your phone not being reachable, you could miss important calls, SMS and mails from potential employers. To avoid such misfortune and stories that touch, go for smartphones with better and long-lasting battery power.
- Works As a Power Bank:Are you surprised? Your phone can function as a power bank to charge other phones. Though this feature is not available in all phones with high power batteries, majority of them are capable of doing such. This is made possible due to the “reverse charging feature” and an OTG cable with which you can charge not only phones but other electronic devices that charge via USB port with your smartphone. Classic right?
- More Fun, Entertainment and Information: Smartphones are also made to entertain you via many sources such as media players (Audio and Video) as well as via social media platforms. As long as your phone is still turned on and functioning, you will be able to keep tabs on all that is going on around you and in the world at large by following updates on social media and reading news online. However, when your phone is dead, you miss such opportunities and remain in screen-darkness. Additionally, you are covered when taking pictures at occasions if your phone battery lasts longer unlike in situations where you have to take a phone charger, extra battery and power bank along with you to events.
Now let’s look at some downsides to owning one of these devices.
One of the disadvantages of using phones with long lasting battery is that they are usually bulky and heavy although phone makers are making concerted efforts to make them slimmer and lighter.
Another disadvantage is that almost all phones with long lasting battery come with non-removable battery which might be a challenge. Since most of them are not waterproof, exposure to water may cause considerable damage to these devices.
In conclusion, more Africans, especially Nigerians should embrace the new technology of long-lasting phone batteries as they have proven to be quite useful. In fact, they are now fast movers in the market and are irresistible.
