Battery life will always be one of the main features that everyone considers in buying smartphone especially heavy users like me. It should at least extend battery life up to 6-8 hours on a 3G and LTE standby where I can check my social media accounts and email wherever I go before I need to connect it to power source. But sometimes, standby apps can cause power drain like Twitter, Facebook and even email which most of us need to connect our devices all the time to wall chargers, which sometimes we need to lean on the wall to check if our devices is charging well.
