Droid Bionic said to offer improved battery life

The stream of information coming from the Droid Bionic's direction has steadily been increasing its flow over the last few weeks and is now about to flood as the device has reached the hands of testers. It may have been taking its time to reach consumers with its specs looking increasingly less promising the longer it took to get here but according to one tester it may have a saving grace, its SONY NP-FT1 Battery life.
While high-end specs are always good there's no doubt that the more powerful a phone and its mobile internet connection the less likely the SAMSUNG VP-L700 battery is to last a day. According to YodaDroid over at the Android Forums the phone managed to last for around 15 hours of what sounds like a reasonable amount of smartphone activity, which this particular user classes as "decent usage throughout day. push email checking in, multiple widgets pulling content all day long".

If accurate then this would be very impressive for a smartphone and should be one reason for investing in the Droid Bionic. Another user at the same forum contributed to fuelling some hype about the Bionic by posting images of a speed test app which shows the device offering some very respectable download speeds, though it isn't clear whether this is from a Wi-Fi network or a mobile data connection.

The key specs of the phone are a 4.3" qHD display, dual-core 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM, it will also feature a rear-facing 8mp camera and a front-facing VGA camera for video calling. It will of course also offer LTE connectivity but it would have been nice to have seen it delivered with a larger screen and more RAM. It is known that it will be arriving at some point next month and is rumoured to be released on September 1.
