Buying Tips For Mobile Phone





I wish to share something on recharging of mobile. All latest mobile
are with Lithium Polymer or Lithium ion. Old concept of recharging
the batteries will end up in shorter life is NOT APPLICABLE. See the
tables and understand.



Buying Tips For Mobile Phone


You may already have a budget in mind as to how much you would like to
spend. Mobile Phones range from Rs. 2,500 onwards in India and
Pakistan. The size and features affect the price.

TALK TIME


Now come to the talk time, The talk time of the mobile phone is the
number of minutes you can talk with a fully charged standard battery.
The talk time with a standard battery varies between 100 minutes to
750 minutes. Approximately 700 mAh will be able to give you a talk
time of 4 to 6 hours. A longer talk time allows you to go without
recharging the batteries for longer.

There are 3 types of batteries available in the Indian and Pakistan market.




LITHIIUM POLYMER AND LITHIUM ION

NICKEL METAL HYDRITE


Slimmer larger power capacity.
