I have Mugen high capacity extended battery on my other phone (nexus), you know that sort of bulky battery, we make fun of now, and honestly i prefer my phone in terms of shape (and performance) with its Mugen battery rather than with stock battery.:icon_ banana:
And i will tell you why!!! first of all i grew up on huge motorolas and nokias, so for me fitting in the pocket is not a dramatic issue
, but these new smartphones are slim with its slim stock battery, and it is sort of obvious deal, the phone is flat, and you treat it as if it was very fragile, with a slight caution that it might slip, fall, break, etc so at the end of the day its too much attention to the functional gadget, cuz psychologically it feels easy to break!!
BUT when i have my mugen battery in (despite the performace: 3+ days i use it confidently) the shape in the back is nicely round that i actually like it much better how it feels in the palm and follows the shape of the palm compared to stock flat slim phone. i hold it like a brick, it seems solid and manly
, it works and almost everyone is asking me: WHAT IS THAT??? (usually comes from nice waitresses in bars when the phone is on the table)
So in my opinion, as long as the performance is solid i dont care about bulkyness at all
