There are three smartphones, made by trendsetters Apple, Motorola, and Nokia, which significantly outlast other phones in terms of battery life. The iPhone 4S, Droid Razr Maxx, and Lumia 900 have batteries that last for around 9 hours of talk time. This is in comparison to other smartphones that only last an average of 5 hours of talking time. Of course, many factors contribute to the battery life of a phone, but what do those three models have in common that provides the extra talk time?

All three smartphones have embedded batteries. An embedded battery simply means that the battery does not come out of the device. Users cannot change the battery in their iPhone, Droid Razr Maxx, or Lumia 900 because manufacturers sealed the battery inside the phone’s case.

By making the battery impossible to remove, the manufacturer is able to change the size, shape, and creation of the battery to suit the individual needs of the new smartphone. Without having to worry about making the battery accessible for users to take it out or replace it, the battery may be designed with a more efficient shape. Phone designers can increase battery productivity by placing the battery in whatever the optimum spot would be for the phone model and thereby reducing wasted space.  Instead of building the phone around the battery, the most efficient smartphones build the battery around the phone’s internal components.

These phones also have a sleeker design because there is no battery cover on the back plate of the phone to break up the flow of the case. By making the battery embedded within the phone, manufacturers have more freedom to change designs and create a more fluid look for the smartphone. The ability to place the battery wherever it fits allows for thinner and lighter phones as well as the sleek design.

Another great side effect of embedded batteries is that dust, water, and other debris is far less likely to invade the interior of the smartphone. With a case that has no battery compartment, there is nowhere for dirt and water to accumulate and possibly wedge its way inside the phone. This should make embedded battery smartphones more durable.

The only downside to embedding the battery is the possibility of a problem arising with the battery. What happens if the phone battery stops working or loses it capacity? With removable batteries, it is quite simple to buy a new battery and replace the non-functioning one. Smartphones with embedded batteries will require professional mobile computer repair to change the battery or will force consumers to buy a new phone.

For most smartphone users, the extra battery life and the uninterrupted cover design are important improvements to smartphone design. In the eyes of the public, the benefits far outweigh the detractions when it comes to embedded batteries!
