> a daily average of 5 minutes of calls and 20 SMS requires charging every four to five days

I literally laughed out loud at that.

Modern smartphones have fantastic battery life if you switch off data and use them like dumbphones. When I travel sometimes I leave my home SIM with data off in an old iPhone and it easily lasts a week.



Most people still follow such patterns, not everyone is glued on their phone 24x7.

I am yet to own an Android device that lasts more than 3 days.


Do you literally switch off data, or just not use it? All those background connections for push notifications, etc take a huge toll.

My iPhone 11 Pro Max lasts 2 days with decently heavy use if I'm not going totally crazy on it, I haven't used Android in ages though.


Data is only switched on when required, we are far away from flatrates over here.
