Many people want to buy smartphones with powerful processors, advanced cameras, large display and many other impressive features, but they drain the batteries faster and put pressure on the RAM. Some manufacturers made compromises and extended the battery life to more than one day, by adding more mAh, but the devices cost more. So, what would be the solutions to this “problem”? Buying a secondary battery and replacing the empty one when needed? Not very convenient. Then, buy a cheap phone which actually has a long battery life.
