Weekly poll results: Two days of battery life is optimal

Kaloyan, 18 July, 2016

Another week has passed and it's time to announce your vote. We asked about your opinion on the batter life situation in 2016 - would you prefer a sleek phone with mediocre power autonomy, or a thicker device with decent endurance.

The majority of the interviewees (46%) consider the two-day battery life as the ideal thing. Then there are 42% of you, who would be happy as long as their phone lasts a full day.

2% want a sleek phone even if that means charging twice a day, while 10% would gladly take a brick of a phone as long as it lasts over three days between charges.
