According to numerous reports around the web, the iPhone 3G’s battery life outpaces all other competing devices. PC World took a look at several 3G smartphone handsets, and proved that the iPhone 3G beats the Instinct, HTC Touch Dual and the LG EnV with 5 hours and 38 minutes of talk time. Only 3 other devices in the test achieved over 5 hours of talk time.
The same test also featured results from the AT&T Tilt, Motorola Q9 Global, Palm Centro, Pantech Dueo and Palm Treo 750. The worst of the lot was indeed the Palm Treo 750, checking in at just under 4 hours of talk time.
3G phones will use up a battery charge faster because 3G networks are more complex, giving voice calls an enhanced voice quality. Thankfully for iPhone 3G users, you can disable 3G connectivity to enhance battery life.
I’m pleased to read about these tests, as the one complaint I have about my 2G iPhone is… ever-decreasing battery life.
