GSM Arena: Nokia Lumia 720 battery life for talk time and web browsing rivals that of high-end androids

Focusing on the battery life, GSM Arena has conducted a test on the endurance of the Nokia Lumia 720 and finds that talk time and web browsing rivals that of high end Androids. Despite being in the 7xx range, it bests the 8xx series in terms of battery capacity and it shows. I can’t find their results for the 810 but I’m not sure if I’m reading this right but they mention video playback on the 810 might be higher??

It’s not always all about capacity and bigger batteries, it’s about matching the battery to the consumption of the phone. Imagine what a beast the 620 would be on 2000mAh! The 620 only has 1300mAh and in GSM Arena’s test they called it ‘class leading call times’. As well as hardware optimisation, software tweaks are also something that need to be addressed to yet further improve on battery life for WP as that used to be something folks promoted against battery hog droids.

The 720 apparently exceeds its advertised talk time, and with a 60 day endurance rating, will only need to be charged every two and a half days.

Cheers Alvester for the tip!
