The Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos S6802 is part of Samsung’s growing dual-SIM Android lineup. The hardware inside the phone is mostly the same as in the original Ace, save for the second SIM slot, of course. We don’t have many dual-SIM phones in our battery test database, so we’ll be testing the Ace Duos using only one SIM to make its results comparable. When it comes to talk time on a 3G network, Samsung advertises 7 hours of battery life. In our tests the phone came close to hitting that mark with its battery dying after 6 hours and 53 minutes of real-world call time. That puts it at the bottom third of the chart, so maybe you should consider sticking to 2G networks – according to official numbers, the Ace Duos should last for more than 18 hours of telephony on those.

Posted in: Android, Battery tests, Featured 16 hours ago by Peter The Meizu MX 4-core is a revamped version of the ambitions MX smartphone, which challenged both the iPhone and its Android kin alike with a heavily customized OS. The MX 4-core, as the name suggests, uses a quad-core Exynos chipset from Samsung (like the one in the Galaxy S III) and also has a slightly bigger battery than its predecessor – 1700mAh vs. 1600mAh. What other changes has Meizu done under the hood to improve battery life? The Chinese haven’t gone into specifics, but we saw improvement across the board. The original MX posted a pretty respectable talk time endurance, but the Meizu MX 4-core beats its achievement by over an hour. That makes it one of the best performers in this category and puts it within 20 minutes of the Samsung Galaxy S III (which packs a far larger 2100mAh battery).
