Having a decent battery back means a lot to Indian users. A lot of mid-range smartphones are now offering pretty decent screen resolution, camera quality, processing speeds, but getting daily juicing is still a task for a lot of us. It is because all those spiffy features are power hogs with most not been able to last a full day, especially if you’re watching a YouTube video or logging a few miles on Temple Run. So when you depend on your handset for so much, the last thing you want is for it to run out of juice when you need it most.
Clearly, when buying a new phone you will not like to compromise on the features and specifications first. So the good option is to choose the ones which offer better life so you can enjoy using your favorite apps for the long haul.
