Nokia Lumia 920 has a lithium polymer battery?
The Nokia Lumia 920 sports the largest battery capacity Nokia’s put in a phone, at 2000mAh. Something not mentioned in the specifications is what type of battery. Nokia batteries are almost often lithium-ion. In wikipedia’s own entry, the battery to depict all Li-ion is a Nokia battery.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery
The disadvantages noted for Li-ion are cell life, so over time, the capacity of the battery decreases. e.g. what may get you a minimum of 2 days in your first month might end up with half a day a year or two later. The article above also describes other pros and cons.
Lithium-ion polymer or lithium polymer (LiPo) batteries is described as evolving from Li-ion batteries.
It allows batteries to fit in more unusual/slimmer places as well as reducing the aging effect. This is supposedly the type of battery found in the Nokia Lumia 920. If the image is correct, then the Lumia 920 has a 2000mAh LiPo battery.
The Nokia Lumia 900 also has a LiPo battery, with 1830mAh battery capacity. Only 170 less than the 920 but sporting a smaller 4.3″ screen (vs 4.5). The 3.7″ Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 have Li-ion batteries.
Bigger batteries and battery types aren’t the only things important in battery life. How the phone itself consumers these resources play a huge role too. How big is the screen, what type of screen, how bright, how often does it connect to the internet, what background processes does it run, how efficient the OS is, how fun it is to use therefore you might be using it all the time (or never).
In the Nokia Lumia 920, we’ve been told that there’s been quite a bit of battery saving improvements too to get you over a day’s use.
Cheers anonymous for the tip!

Good to see this .. But what the competitors flagships are using ?
A comparison would have been good.
Wikipedia says s3 has Li-on 2100 mah, while One X has Li-Pol 1800 mah
One more thing I would like to bring to your notice .. after posting in tips .. 95% of the time the page goes in error .. Now i don’t know after this the tips are visible to you (though they get recorded in the tips section).
If it is, why on earth is nokia not advertising this?
Because it is absolutely irrelevant from a consumer perspective. Heck, even that masters of amazifying the irrelevant (Apple, that is) do not mention this.
I wouldn’t put it past Apple at all.

Well, they’ve been using LiPo batteries for quite some time in all their battery powered devices, and at least I haven’t heard/read/seen any mentions of it. And there really is no reason to mention it, since pretty much the only benefit is that the battery can be shaped much easier to fit a small device.
did you know facts, eh?

This is in response to Samsung’s Ad

Dahahahha “A totally different plug”.
Bet if apple uses wireless charging, they’ll come up with some proprietary technology and charge you $249 for the charger…
already been done for the past 4 years since the iphone had that design and alot of 3rd party companies make accessories for it
YES! Nokia is rubbing it in and sticking it all into Samsung’s face! I love it! Down with Samsung!
BL indicates Li-ion while BP tells polymer. In fact Nokia has been using Li-Po based battery for quite a long time. Remember the 7700 with 1500 mAh BP-5L launched almost 10 years ago, it came with battery of one of the largest capacity of its time. While it’s great that Nokia’s battery capacity has finally reached 2k mAh, I still initially hoped more capacious one to be used in its flagship device.
Yeah, nothing new in Nokia using Li-Po batteries. The different BP types have been around for a long time. Even the Lumia 710, 610 and the Nokia 603 have one (the BP-3L). The Nokia 700 has a smaller BP-5Z. The classic 1500 mAh BP-4L “hero battery”, as Steve Litchfield calls it, has been used in numerous devices over the years, including E6, E72 and N97.
Damn I wish next year we could see 4000mAh upwards…that would make another Lumia stand out… Elop do something like that hey.
Make your water seals bigger and over the pics if I were you. Websites will try to crop them out.
As long as the battery can stand up to wireless charging consistently, I’ll be happy. Amazing how battery technology has not changed much in the last however many years compared to the rest of popular technology.
Battery tech is based on chemistry, which typically advances much more slowly than electronics. There are promising new battery techs in the labs, but it will still take some years before they are ready for consumer devices.
Could someone confirm that Nokia Lumia 920 has/hasnot Led Light Notification?
I hope so because that will be one feature I’ll clearly miss from my HTC if not. Why every manufacturer doesn’t include this on all their smartphones I’ll never know.
Ericsson started using li-po batteries a long time ago.. almost all their phones, and all their SE phones, were li-po .. i never got why Nokia kept using lit-ion, since my W810 and W610 seemed better than the equivalent nokia phones at the time in terms of battery.
They mentioned that the 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor will reduce power consumption and still provide a much improved performance (not that it the Lumia range needs to be any quicker than it is!)
The Qualcom Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 is still a kick ass processor and the difference in real world performance against the Apple A-6, is likely to be negligible at best…
And my gut feeling tells me MS aren’t fck%#g around when it comes to stability and fluidity with WP8.
(WP 7.5 is butter smooth as it is in a single core set-up, just to mention it).
Combined with Nokia innovations and improvements, I would pick up a 920 over iPhone any day of the week, and wouldn’t even look back once…
2000mAh is ample juice for the 920′s package IMHO.
I find it strange that the 808 uses a 3.8v battery while most other Nokias use 3.7v
That was a good news for me because in Finland Lithium battery is already proven a safe and good batteries that one of the top choice of many people looking for a quality batteries.
