In the June
post , a thing was announced that no self-respecting android-driver - a high-capacity battery for the Samsung Galaxy S4 - can pass by.
In comments to the post
dmitrytool suggested that I send the battery for a test, with which I happily agreed. We didn’t talk about purposeful PR, so I’m not completely biased, I’ll share my impressions of the package that came. Of course, under the cut there will be a lot of photos and text.
A few days after sending the battery, I went on vacation. To the destination to reach a total of 24 hours. It was then that I felt the whole problem of the small capacity of the battery in the smartphone. After leaving the destination airport 16 hours after I took my smartphone off charge, I realized that he had already managed to die. Not the most joyful news in a foreign country. The idea that the miracle of a battery will come here has warmed my soul all the two weeks of rest.
The parcel post was sent on July 11th. Next Russian treking. By the end of the trip, as is usually the case with the Russian Post to speed up delivery, parcels and other packages make weightless and strongly blow in the direction of the final post office.

And came

What a sin to conceal - the smartphone has become heavy and big. There is no aesthetic pleasure from the new cover. All hope of using a high capacity battery.
At the time of turning on the phone, the battery charge showed 56% and charged up to 100% in 80 minutes.
After two days of active use with wi-fi on all the time, the picture was about

Of course, the operating time is significantly higher, and this is still on the first charge cycle. Thus, in terms of its purpose, the battery justifies itself one hundred percent.
As for the appearance and wearing comfort, everything is ambiguous. The smartphone becomes heavy and thick. If you wear it in jeans, everything is fine, but the pocket of a linen jacket is already significantly delayed by the weight of the smartphone.
Of the controversial minuses yet - questions from colleagues and friends - what is this unknown thick phone from the past.
