Bb10 L series battery life

**BenChin** · 12-12-2012, 12:37 AM

I'm getting excited about the new model but 1 thing that i concern is the battery life. How long can it last for the L series model? I hope it will not be the same with bold 9900

I'm sure RIM have optimised the OS to ensure good battery life. I mean look at the iPhone isn't their battery like 1400mah or something? Not saying iPhone has stellar battery life but it seems to have enough to satisfy consumers needs.

The L series and the Bold 9900 run on completely different operating systems. Therefore the 9900 cannot be used as a basis to try and gauge the battery life on BB10. The only way we'll know for sure is after we use it ourselves.

didn't they show a 1800mah battery in the recently leaked pics?

That won't tell us what the battery life will be like without knowing how power demanding the operating system and hardware is.

Exactly, a smartphone's battery life depends on how a person uses it.

I have a 9900. My friend has a iPhone 4 with a battery pack. Technically the iPhone should beat my phone as far as battery life goes but nope. She plays games and that kills her battery life within 6-7 hours while I go home with ~30% power left after 20 hours.

How is the Dev Alpha B battery life? Might give a good idea...

You obviously don't use BlueTooth all day :-)

yup... with the bluetooth on and wifi... my Bold 9900 only able to last half a day.... which worry me...

Also take into consideration the bb10 always running tiles vs apples stale background apps. 1400 vs 1800 isn't a good way to gauge. Both os's handle things very very differently.

i leave my wifi and bluetooth on all the time its usually always connected to my playbook and i am able to get 15-16 hours of use and not hit the orange mark. i'm wonderign what background apps people are running, i mean i'm a pretty regular browser user and BBM/text messager and still don't really see my battery guage dip that fast

Not sure about bluetooth since I don't use it that heavily, but providing you are connected to a wifi network and it isn't just another radio that has to go searching all the time, you would actually increase your battery life quite a lot by using wifi as the power management is better than that than it is in the 3g radio.
