A smartphone's battery life can make or break its saleability and ability to attract buyers. No matter how jam-packed with awesome features a phone is, people would hesitate to buy it if its battery life leaves much to be desired. With today's smartphones, a single charge will usually last you a day with moderate use. For busy users who often use their phones to communicate or carry out their work, a long battery life is always an important feature to consider. Note, however, that different models have different life spans and capacities.

Below we delve deeper into the nature of phone batteries and explore ways to conserve or extend battery life:

Types of Phone Batteries

Batteries are the main sources of electricity for smartphones. There are four common types of batteries mobile phone manufacturers use to power the models they launch: NiMH, nickel-cadmium (NiCd), lithium polymer (Li-pol), and lithium-ion (Li-ion).

Why do you need 4G+3G Dual SIM?

Since most dual SIM phones in the current generation are 4g+2g, the shutdown of Telstra’s 2G network at the start of December rendered these phones as single SIM, as the 2G slot can no longer connect to the Telstra network. With Optus and Vodafone also shutting down their 2G networks in 2017, there is an increasing need to turn the simultaneous 4G+3G phones if you require Dual SIM. As both slots are able to run at least 3G, 4G+3G phones are unaffected by the shutdown of 2G networks.

Currently there are only a few chipsets that can run Dual Sim 4G+3G, and at Australian retailers, only 4 phones with 4G+3G support are being sold. At Mobileciti, we stock 3 of these models to offer a large selection, all at the lowest prices for 100% Australian stock.
