While most reviews cover most of the feature tests and performance tests, testing battery life can take quite some time so it is only just now that we have the battery life tests fo the Samsung Galaxy S4. While the Samsung Galaxy S4 looks and feels about the same weight and size as the Samsung Galaxy S III, it has a bigger screen, more powerful processors and about 500 mAh more with its 2600 mAh battery. Bear in mind that these tests were done with the Snapdragon 600 quad core enabled Samsung Galaxy S4 and cover 3 tests which include talk time, web browsing and video playback.

While not having much of hardware pedigree behind it Amazon has done some amazing things with mobile devices, introducing their Kindle Fire tablets and ebook readers. Now, rumour has it that they're working on a 4.7" smartphone (much along the same lines and design as the Samsung Galaxy S III). Like so many other rumours of this kind, this one was sparked from component makers, in this case those dealing with smartphone specific components. So far other specifications are few and far in between and the only concrete news that we have is that the Amazon smartphone will probably feature the aforementioned 4.7" screen.

HTC One's Ultra-pixel camera has been noted for its much better low-light performance. However, when reviewed at the time, the daylight performance for the camera didn't turn out as well as expected as you could see just a little bit too much noise from shots resulting in a rather blurred effect. Thankfully, this was due to the software it was tested with as the latest software update has proven.

Rumours surrounding Samsung's upcoming product line are coming fast and hard now, and this time around are rumours regarding Samsung's Galaxy Note III. The first rumour is that the phablet will have a much larger 5.9" display. While we're still skeptical, some main parts suppliers have confirmed this to be very likely. However, some other sharp-eyed people have spotted a Samsung device marked as the GT-19200 that will feature CDMA, GSM and more importantly, a 6.3-inch screen. This claim on the other hand is also based on the recent launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 gaming pad accessory which showed a device much like the Samsung Galaxy Note III that has similar measurements.
