Nexus 5 comes with Qualcomm QFE1100 Envelope Tracking chip for 20% more battery life

QUOTE
We already know that the phone is powered by the latest Snapdragon 800 chip from Qualcomm. The company has announced that Nexus 5 also features the Qualcomm QFE1100 Envelope Tracking chip, the innovative Qualcomm RF360 front-end that allows OEMs to develop a single, global 4G LTE design. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 that was launched back in September was the first phone to use the world’s first envelope tracking (ET) technology for 3G/4G LTE devices.

Qualcomm says that this tech offers significant performance improvements, including reduced heat by up to 30 percent and decreased power consumption by up to 20 percent. The Nexus 5 packs a 2300 mAh battery, which is just a minor increase from the Nexus 4′s 2100 mAh battery. Even though the phone packs just a 2300 mAh battery, users can get a longer battery life when they are using it on 3G/LTE with this new feature.

The QFE1100 chip adjusts the PA power supply to track the envelope of the PA output signal level which results in a more reliable amplified signal with up to 20% improvement in PA power efficiency and up to 30% improvement in heat dissipation. Here is a infographic that details this feature.

nice find NightFelix

here's another write-up on the LTE bands: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/170166-...ing-lte-support

D820 works for North America (US and Canada) and most Japan's LTE bands.


however, the question (i guess already answered from NightFelix's tests above) is which model is being shipped if ordered thru Google Play Store Japan? seems the answer is D821 model.
