They obnly care about design and benchmarks and find it normal when the battery can't last a day. It isn't. A phone with 4000+ mah and a removable battery is not too much to ask, not a tech challenge and not a financial problem. It's a matter of ridiculous policy.

                              All i know is also that i wouldn't feel reassured with a high battery in my pocket (or home when i'm away) like 3500+ mA judging what happens with defective batteries nowadays.

                                  People expect too much from a smart phone these days. Its simple, heavy usage and the battery will take a hit. light to medium use and it gets you to a day of usage. Generally a full days usage is very much acceptable, so im still amazed at why people expect 2 or more days of juice.

                                      We don't need slim phones, we need phones with bigger batteries, so that we can fully enjoy our smartphones, what use is buying a phone with 2.5Ghz processor N using it in power savings mode with 1Ghz capacity, dimming the display to save power, when will manufacturers realize this,
