The wonder-battery

As an irregular step we’ll start the review with the battery, but if you have read the previous page I think you can understand this. I suppose I haven’t been the only one to be interested if the box of the small Philips is a liar or not. I would like to put it forward: we don’t have two moths to test a phone, so we had to look for another solution and this gave us some headaches.

Besides standby time there are two other parameters that are worth to be mentioned. It is told that the handset can play back music for 34 hours and the battery keeps it online for 17 hours if talking continuously. These are quite good times and quite large ones too, as such an average phone usually goes dead after 3-4 hours talk.

But who the hell should I call for 17 hours? Even if we don’t consider the phone bill (even though we have free calls in the group): should I call someone and ask him: “Hey, do you have 17 spare hours?”. Even if he or she would have – he doesn’t have a Philips phone, that’s sure. So I had the usual method of using the Philips as my own phone for a week and this had a really surprising result.

I have fully charged the 1850 mAh battery by Tuesday morning and I have set off exploring the battery’s power. I have called someone who I haven’t spoken to for a long time so we had a lot to talk about. After two and half hours his phone’s battery went offline, Xenium’s battery indicator didn’t move an inch. By the end of the day I have been talking for six hours on the damn phone and according to the display the battery was still full. By Saturday evening one stroke finally disappeared, but by then I have been at about 10 hours of talk time and at Sunday evening (when writing this review) charge level was still about 60%.

As for me I really believe that this phone can take 17 hours of talk and although I’m not sure about the two moths of standby time, but this performance is still much better than any other phone’s. What’s the secret? The battery is powerful, Philips uses their own chipset, which is optimized to their liking. 9@9k doesn’t have less features than any other similarly priced phone, they are just paying attention. And for Christ’s sake, any other manufacturer could do this if they would just care about it.
