Love Confession: Mugen 1800mAh Extended Battery For HTC Desire Z, Incredible S, G2

One of the main issues of modern smartphones is battery life. The more we move ahead the more it seems that manufacturers are cramming juice draining features in their devices, and disregarding how long these last under normal usage. GPS, bigger screens, accelerometers, cameras, faster processors,…, all of these are aimed to enhance our mobility and yet cripple us a mere couple of hours afterwards as the dreaded “Battery Low” warning starts flashing in front of our eyes. Enter Mugen Batteries. I like to think of them as the modern day geek version of a knight in shining armor, riding on a white horse and whipping their swords to decapitate poor battery life all across the world.

A couple of months ago, I received the Mugen extended OEM-sized battery for the Desire Z for review. At the time, I was about to open my pharmacy, and move from spending most of my time at home, where power sources are abundant and time to charge is not a hindrance, to spending 12 hours a day working, plus more than an hour driving, and generally not really having the time to care about charging my phone except at night. My Desire Z had to be accessible, still running, whenever, wherever, as long as I was up. The Mugen extended battery had better step up to the challenge.

Mobiado blings out the Nexus S

We all love Google’s Nexus line of devices due to them running the cleanest version of Android and getting OS updates the fastest. Last year’s Nexus S , manufactured by Samsung , remains one of the most popular Android phones but its plasticky build is really not appreciated. However if you have rather deep wallets , it should now be possible for you to get a spanking new aircraft grade aluminum version anodized in a choice of 6 colors.
