DROID Bionic Shots Show Good Battery Life on 3G, 4G
Since we’re still without the DROID Bionic and no one has been able to do any form of battery testing on it, one of our anonymous sources were curious how the Bionic’s battery would perform over the course of a day (literally 24 hours). What’d he come up with? Check the image below, where you can see he went 15 hours and only drank up 40% of the battery’s juice:
Another 4 hours later, he only chewed through 10%:
And six hours after that, he was down to 15%:
I should note that it looks like he did almost nothing with the phone during this time as evidenced by the battery levels shots – high cell standby and phone idle levels and low display usage and Android OS levels means this thing was probably sitting on a table all day. It was also on 3G for much of the day before it stepped into a 4G coverage area.
But to go 26 hours is still impressive. With real world usage, you’re most likely looking at 14-16 hours of battery life, if not more with a little tweaking or a custom ROM or two. This is in line with what most people get out of a day with a phone that has a good battery. Motorola’s always been known for great battery life on their phones and we’re glad to see that the DROID Bionic is no exception.
