Battery power consumption is the primary problem of the smartphone maker
March 20 news, U.S. information firm JD Power has released the 2012 smart phone customer satisfaction survey report, the findings also show that mobile phone battery is the bottleneck of the use of smartphones.

Almost every mobile phone manufacturer will say that the generation of cell phone batteries because they do not follow Moore's Law. This ancient invention of the battery scientists optimize the product of the combination of chemicals; battery improvement will be a value-added industries - as Seth, Fletcher, described in the Bottled Lightning book super-batteries, electric cars, as well as new lithium economy, industry many innovations with the invention of the super-cell (but these seem to not happen).
Smartphone battery life improvements by the processor and operating system power saving technology. However, these features can save power, only so many cannot completely solve the problem. Currently, manufacturers can not seem to make a cell phone to meet high-performance display case, while ensuring that the mobile phone battery. Some things need to be discarded, and the user does not want to see the results.
Over time, LTE coverage to expand and 4G mobile phone chip improvements, new network applications may no longer present consumption. 4G cell phones will be enduring the same as 3G mobile phone in the market. However, the battery problem has not yet been resolved, the JD Power survey results also shows that the battery life is too short people cannot stand. The last year has been in studying the issue, which means that in the near future, the industry there may be a big leap.
