Sunday debate: Bigger battery or slimmer phone?

10 June 2018
Slimmer profiles meet bigger batteries.

Sort by:

we need fashionable phone! Since I have so many powerbank with large pack of capacity, larger capacity phones seems useless for me and also, I could charge my phones at my work too. so basic! Larger capacity is just a gimmick by the Chinese OEM. Just a whole day of usage may satisfy most of the falks.

      marq, 11 Jun 2018Larger capacity battery is always better. You will get used... moreYep i don't see iPhone users complaining of the iPhone 8 plus's 200g. Nobody cares about weight, even iPhone users (And most of the people who csre about form and looks are the iPhone users). There are always exceptions, but certainly there is a huge market for big batteries. Of course, combined with 3.5mm jack and good specs.

        I was hoping that the majority of people would side with me on this issue. I went ahead and voted here for the large battery option, and as of the time I voted, 79% of voters did so too.

          what we do after we won't have battery left in mobile

          now we introduce 20000mAh power bank can full fill your thin mobile battery 6x times - JOKE

With no compromises) without at least a 4000 mah battery and even then the phone will have to be extremely well optimized. And if you do get exactly a day, it will only be when the phone/battery is brand new. One year later it will already be less.

              Larger capacity battery is always better. You will get used to thickness and weight in no time.
              When I browse for new phone, I always check the battery capacity.

                  Celoxocis, 10 Jun 2018another Lenovo P2 lover here ;-) smaller battery's are b... moreYep. It's not just a matter of being able to last the day without recharging. Even if you can with a smaller battery, it will still degrade faster, because you will use, say, 0.8 cycles a day and with a bigger one, you'll use 0.5, for example.

                  Plus, using fast charge makes it degrade faster and if you battery is guaranteed to last the day, you don't need fast charging. Even 5 or 6 hours won't be a day - you'll sleep at least as much time.

                    Mate 10/Pro and P20 Pro even has 4000 mah battery with slick design without having thick mm.

                      Another of your silly surveys. When was the last time someone complained that one's phone is too thick?
                      Even if you don't need the big battery, it will ensure that you don't need to replace it until your next upgrade.

                                  Let the s9 Active get released everywhere. Then we shall see. Id love to buy it. No compromise, just a great battery and a top spec device.

                                    Why not both?

                                    A 5" phone with a 4000 to 4500mAh battery and only around 1cm thick is fine. However, if the phone is so excessively thick, like 6 to 7 cm thick, then it becomes cumbersome.
