Hey guys,

This email is about hardware. I am not sure this is the most appropriate
mailing list, but don't have any idea of another.

In the smartphone market there is an evergrowing trend, led by Apple and
Samsung for the thinnest smartphone. Nothing bad about that, but it
severely affects battery life, thus usability. Having it only last for 10
hours, with 5% battery when I get home is a really severe issue. I think we
can all identify with this.

For example, the latest iPhone was marketed as being 5% thinner, yet people
still buy huge leather cases for their phones, which are sometimes thicker
than the phone itself, which leads me to believe people don't really care
for the thinness.

Is it such a bad thing to ask for "5% more battery life" instead?
