Xiaomi has been killing it with their smartphone releases here lately. They are finally starting to put out some devices with premium builds. They have always done a pretty good job with light and quick user interfaces. In China their smartphones are so popular that they normally sell out within...

One big problem with the Galaxy S6 was the poor battery life. It got so ridiculous for me that I was having to charge my phone everyday around 3 in the afternoon. One remedy I found for this was to add a battery pack. One big drawback to doing this was the loss of wireless charging. Mophie has...

Every year we see advancements in cell phone technology. The screens have more pixels than our eyes can see, cameras are approaching DSLR quality, and build quality seems to get better every year. The only thing that has lacked any meaningful progression is battery tech. There may be a new...

One of the biggest features in Android 6.0 Marshmallow is "Doze". It is the feature that allows me to get through a full day and still have some battery left when I plug my Nexus 6P up to charge in the evening. The only issue with Doze is that it is only available in Android Marshmallow. You can...

Google has added a new secret feature "System UI Tuner" which allows you to make a small handful of changes to your UI. This feature is really in its infancy, and Google warns that it is beta and can cause things to bug out, but I am hoping that Google decides to do more with this in the future...

I have had the Nexus 6P now for a few days and so far I am loving it. The aluminum back coupled with the Gorilla Glass 4 really give this device a premium feel. The fingerprint scanner on the back is second to none. You can't get any better software for a device than the latest version of Stock...

With a new version of Android comes a whole new batch of custom roms. Being able to always run the latest and greatest version of Android is one of the main reasons I still love to use custom roms. Rom developers don't have hoops to jump through when it comes to adding bloat and overlaying a...

Are you sick of OEMs needlessly slimming down devices just to appease the masses, throwing away your power user needs in the process? With every millimeter shaved off you lose a couple hundred mah of battery. OUKITEL has just announced a phone with its focus on battery life. For now the only way...

I have just purchased an android tablet (from China), I like the tablet and don't want to return it. So I am looking for help to fix the battery problem. Physically it is OK and lasts as long as I expected. But the indicators do not show the reality. I have tried the reset procedure but the...

When I saw this product for the first time I did a double take. Not only is it a wireless charger it is also a portable battery bank. It houses 10400mah of juice which can charge most phones up more than 3 times. As far a design goes, it is made of super light plastic and could have been more...

The Galaxy Note 5 has been my daily driver now for a few weeks. I have noticed that fully stock it has much better battery life than the galaxy s6. It also has a slightly larger battery at 3000mah. I am normally able to get through an entire day plus most of my evening on a single charge thanks...
