Chinese Manufacturer Releases Slim Phone with 5000mAh Battery
If there is one thing users normally complain about their phones it’s battery life. Phones get faster and faster, screens crisper than you thought possible, but companies just don’t seem to have batteries on par with all this power. While some new phones like the LG G2 with a 3000mAh and the Droid MAXX with a gigantic 3500mAh try harder to impress on that area batteries on smartphones still won’t let us play with our devices as long as you would want on a single charge.
We always thought this was simply a technological impossibility, possibly due to lack of investment in this area, but it seems it is actually possible to fit a huge battery into modern slim phone designs. A practically unknown Chinese company, ChangHong, unveiled yesterday that it managed to fit a 5000mAh battery into 9mm thick 5.5-inch smartphone. How amazing is this? It’s about 20% more than the battery on the new Nexus 7! Yes, I mean the tablet.
The ChangHong Z9 packs a quad-core MediaTek chip, 1GB of RAM and a 5.5-inch 720p with a 5000mAh battery into the body of a LG G2. Granted these aren’t high-end specs, but still it completely obliterates everything we’ve seen in the smartphone market.
Given the origin of the company we can say with a high degree of certainty that this device won’t make it this side of the Pacific. Nonetheless, for us in the Western world it should serve as a proof-of-concept, showing that really big batteries on slim smartphones is already possible, and big batteries is what the majority of users want. What about you, despite the specs would you buy this phone for the battery life? Leave your comments on the section below, and while you’re at it check the battery comparison photo.
