Hey guys ,
I've been wondering why the 4S battery lasts shorter compared to the S2 / other dual core android phones..
As far as i know, android OS is the power-hogging one, which consumes alot of memory/cpu power.
For example, the S2 vs the 4S , S2 has a 1650mAh batt while the 4S has a 1432 mAh battery.
is there really that much difference in 218mAh ? I've seen my friend's S2 which lasts 1 and a half day or even 2 days with regular use ( 3g / wifi on ) , light browsing and gaming.
while the 4S can't even live throughout 1 day with about 2 hours of light use / browsing.
I believe that the S2 has a 1.2ghz dual core Cortex A9 while the 4s has a downclocked 800mHz Cortex A9.
So it must be in the software right? probably some power-hungry add-on in iOS5? Or is the GPU in the 4S too powerful
