    Galaxy Note 3 Battery Review

    I have nothing but praise for the battery life of Note 3. Usually I have at least 14 - 16 hr of life out of it even with some intensive gaming and video viewing (hours of them). And more usual will be around 24 - 36 hours of battery life. In the extreme when I am very very busy and I can only...

    Is the removable battery that important?

    solidly build phone .. from HTC? O you mean those gaps between the speaker plate and the main body of HTC One? And worse, now some are reporting loose speaker plate that is shaky and falling off.

Nothing Samsung could do will have as much impact as these faux pas which they made on...

    people who aren't getting this phone because of non-removable battery.

    [inappropriate language deleted by moderator] And contrary to your assertion, a premium phone is PERFECTLY serviceable even after two years and after that can serve as a hand me down phone perfectly well. And for the sake of longevity, the ability to replace an old battery easily AND cheaply...

    To the HTC One "premium build" supporters...
