You are absolutely correct, no one wants to charge battery 2-3 times a day or carry around a giant powerbank at all times to power that small phone.

      Mr A, 13 Nov 2020Dare for you Chinese OEM. Copy this size... Why? The user experience would be hampered by the small battery. No one wants to charge their phone two-three times a day. This phone is only good as a second phone or a main phone that doesn't get used as often.

            Still way off my Microsoft 650 (that I'm writing this on) at only 122g in weight and 6.9mm thick.

              AnonD-763241, 13 Nov 2020Waiting for battery tests....my guess is 80 to 90hShould be similar if not slightly better then the se thx to the a14 and amoled display

                Are you going to be testing the Surface Duo at some point?

                    What do we all think the battery endurance score will be? I'm hoping for 75 but thinking it might be 66-68hrs

                          I'll take a guess (and I don't think I'll be too far off) at 56h battery endurance...

                            The battery life will be the factor keeping me or leading me to get this one.

And if the iPhone SE is something to go by, the 5nm processor doesnt saves as much power as you would think it would.
