AnandTech -- Apple iPhone 4S: Thoroughly Reviewed

[VydorScope]

It seem to be pretty much agreed upon by all the major blogs that the iOS5 battery problem does exist, it effects a subset of users, and appears to be 100% software caused. Thats good news, cause an update could fix that.


I get about 5 hours of usage/16 hours standby according to the "usage" meter on the phone till the phone shuts itself off. (I do not turn features off, at all) This is better then I was getting on my Android so I am satisfied but of course would always accept more.

They didn't include the Samsung Nexus Prime?

In CPU benchmark, the new Samsung Nexus Prime is beating the iPhone 4S. I haven't seen GPU benchmarks yet though.

The iPhone 4S gpu will decimate the G Nexus. As mentioned, the nexus is using the 540, which is 2x slower then just ONE of the 2 GPU cores in the 4S. Plus its driving a higher resolution display (though it is pentile so effectively its the same res as the 4).

Are you ***** kidding me Apple? Battery is only 1430 mah?

1430mah is kind of a standard size battery a lot of smart phones run. a 1430 mah batter is basically the same thing as teh 1500mah batteries most smart phones use. 1430 is just the much more conservative in the rating but still the same thing.
