I don't know if my phone does on stock battery, but it depends on the usage. I can likely last at least a day with stock on full charge, probably. But the brick lasts for over two days regardless.
My s2 - lasts about 8 - 9 or so hours plus before getting low.Nobody's bagging your brick. I just think it's ridiculous your phone can't last 1-2 days like others (on average). I can't take anyone seriously who says their phone dies within half a day.
How long have you had it?My s2 - lasts about 8 - 9 or so hours plus before getting low.
Thats with Skype and whats app running and sometimes some music / Stream in the bg at times and not heavy usage per-se.
It really last less than a day / 12 hours.
Never used Whatsapp before, but I know Skype keeps running in the background unless you kill it in Task Manager. You probably have a lot of wakelocks.My s2 - lasts about 8 - 9 or so hours plus before getting low.

Neither. Both are overpriced. It s killing me to see people buying expensive phones when a 200 eurodol phone, sometimes even less is doing the job just as fine.So, I'm still unsure.. which one should I buy, HTC One or Galaxy S4? I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Android, and I'm thinking about changing my phone for sure this time after mine is broken right now. I read one review at Gizmodo, and it says that HTC One is better, but to be honest I'm kinda doubting HTC phones' quality in general.
The immense majority of people can t tell the difference. User experience is the same for those new low cost phones. And sorry,a car can be a sign of professional success... not a phone. So there is really no point in paying more for a similar experience. But again, it s recent. Low cost phones were of low quality only one year ago. That s no longer the case. Now you have the choice between quality low cost models and former apple or samsung models.Could say the same thing about cars. Why buy an expensive BMW when a cheap Honda does the same job of getting you from A to B. The BMW is probably more comfortable to ride in?
User experience is king.
Not really. I mean, they both can be. But when comparing the two things it's always about how much you're willing to spend on each. No one is going to compare the amount of money spent on a phone, to that of a car. There's an obvious difference there.The immense majority of people can t tell the difference.

For me, samsung and apple are unfortunately not possible choices anyway due to the lack of dual sim.
My S4 was $200 with a rebate and 2 year contract. I'm not even sure if these cheaper alternatives are really offered here and I question the experience being "virtually the same" as well.To people who have an S4, my question is "why ?". Is it that important to spend two-three times the price ? My feeling is that most people are not well informed about what's available & they are just blindly buying the expensive standard stuff when they don't need that much.
Now if you really want the absolute best & you don't care about money for this kind of item, s4 is among the top
That often? It tends to be two years long with most carriers here.You change contract that often ? I guess you got a point there. I don t have a contract, my job is paying my communications and 3g ...
There are cheaper alternatives, but you're going to be sacrificing something. Battery life, memory, and processor speed are always lower on cheaper phones. Wiko is not available in the States, I don't know how that specific brand compares.My S4 was $200 with a rebate and 2 year contract.
