[AC Question]

Hiall..

I have bought a Leagoo Lead 5 from China and the battery life is terrible even though the battery is supposed to be 1800 mAh in capacity.

Would anyone know why this is.. I thought that they probably skimp on processors and maybe they chew up more battery life. Otherwise the batteries may be rated at much higher than what they are.

Would anyone know if any of my assumptions are correct? Are Chinese smartphone specs all lies?

I'm considering buying a BlackView V6000 tough phone from china soon and it has a battery of capacity 4200 mAh which I'm really dubious of. The battery looks too small.

Thanks

It's probably sending all your private data to china... Call me a cynic

I like Leagoo M8 Battery capacity and quality.

Welcome to Android Central! 1800 mAh is pretty small. To give you a point of comparison, the Nexus 5's battery is 2300 mAh, and it was notorious for very mediocre battery life (mine would give about 2.5 hours of total screen-on time with normal usage).
