After reading the
next review of the smartphone, starting with the words “the unequivocal leader in screen sizes, the diagonal of which is 4.6", I could not resist writing this post.
I am absolutely bewildered by watching the current trend of new products:
- Huge screen !!!
- More than 320 dpi !!!
- 4-core processor !!!
- Separate GPU !!!
- 12000000 pixel camera !!!
- 4G / LTE / WiFi n-standard !!!
- GPS / A-GPS / NFC / Bluetooth !!!
- Only for 600 euros !!!

Where is innovation in batteries?
You do not need to be a technology genius to understand what kind of increase in battery consumption these innovations carry. And, especially, taking into account the date of the last breakthrough in batteries - we both use lithium-ion and continue.
For example, I have the Nokia Lumia 800. Before going to bed, I learned how to turn on the “Airplane” and “Battery Saving” modes, and my operating system is no longer relevant and will write software for it as the last thing. And last but not least, a year ago, this phone was worth twice as much, which means I just donated 300 euros to Nokia or the retailer.
And it seems interesting to buy something new, but I quickly pull myself off. After all, I absolutely can not understand why paying $ 600 should be puzzled by the daily care of the phone, thinking about what innovation to limit, what program to optimize battery consumption to buy, while the shares of companies are growing by leaps and bounds.
Already, the issue of Google on request "iPhone 5 battery life" is filled with articles from 7 to 20 tips on saving batteries. And very caring, with the words "Guys, you are not alone ...".
Perhaps a breakthrough in the batteries will happen soon and the manufacturers are ready for it, carefully sealing the covers of the brand new devices. But we can only wait for the marketers to finally order the engineers to work towards batteries. And I, perhaps, will wait for this real innovation, and you?
