Stop it, your gonna send Jack over the edge. He's already in fragile state as it is with the iphone dwindling in popularity and performance.

The review at the bottom of that page is awesome. Is it you Andyroid?

Fastest recharge is the most important to me in that test. I don't use my phone that much, I guess some of you talk on yours for 500 minutes between charges or surf for 20 hours, but I don't.

The measly portion of positive spin for apple is that their battery charged up the quickest, well it would being the smallest capacity. Despite that apple phones have the smallest displays and have slow processors, cannot compete with multicore multitasking high speed processors with large vibrant high res display. The majority of smartphone owners charge their devices overnight, so charging time is irrelevant

But the news wasn't all bad for Apple's iPhone 5, as the phone was the quickest to charge to full battery life, at just 141 minutes.

The Lumia 920 and Galaxy S4 followed in second and third with charging times close to two hours, while the HTC one took the longest to charge at a full 237 minutes.

Last time I checked, 2 hours was 120 minutes and the iPhone 5 takes 141 minutes?

Maybe you do need to change then Jack

Or maybe you need to check where the mistake lies.

Attacking a successful phone, that's ok by you. Just nuts what motivates you.

I am not attacking it, I am stating facts, a smaller battery will take less time to charge for a given Mah charger output.

You are clutching at straws with the whole shorter charging time as it is irrelevant. The fact that iSheep have made them successful doesn't mean they are better, just that they are more easily led by marketing and the herd.

Well you're not are you. You posted here without checking the facts, that's why I responded to you.

None of the tests matter at all, it's just a load of cack, ask an S4 user the worst feature of their phone and it will be battery life.

I was making a joke about what was clearly a typo, you take it so seriously you have no sense of humour any more.

Battery life on any smartphone is a constant issue, but the relevant comparison is that the S4 is far superior in performance to the apple phone.

In both battery life and processing power. Can't see that 23 mins extra to charge is a deal breaker for double the life in any ones book (cept Jack's)

Oh sorry I should have known, next time add a smily, that way I won't post a picture showing the real results and you won't go off your nut for the afternoon.

Yeah the existing winky smiley was clearly invisible Off my nut? No just your warped perception of reality.

Ah the cornered wounded animal syndrome you appear to be suffering with regard to apple products is more laughable than anything to get worked up about

Double life. LOL. Just read the S4 thread on here, disappointing battery life. Don't be such a sucker.

That is because you read and don't understand...

If you leave any phone on the default settings almost permanently accessing the internet, including the iPhone, it will eat battery, a few simple settings changes is an easy fix.

You can only compare like for like with actual continuous use which is what we have seen.
