Mugen 6640mAh extended battery review topic

Quote:

Ok I will update this review in a few days after I have completed a couple of charge cycles but here are my initial impressions of the battery. The battery is the same height and width as the stock battery but approximately twice as thick.

Quote:

The battery fits snugly into the phone and is really secure even without the back cover on and is in no danger of falling out. The phone is obviously slightly heavier but not noticeably but with the back cover on you can certainly notice the extra thickness for sure.

After my first day of use I got 7.30 hours of screen on time but I did do a back up, flash a new Rom and then restore during this so I expect to be able t get 2 days usage and 8 hours of screen on time once the battery has had a few charge cycles. The back cover is a very similar material to the original and includes NFC and wireless charging which for me is a major plus point

There are other alternatives on the market like zerolemon but this doesn't have NFC or wireless charging and it is a tricell battery it has been causing issues with giving a true reading of remaining battery. I had a mugen battery on my old galaxy s2 which I gave my mum and is still going strong 4 years later so reliability I don't see as an issue.

Conclusion

Quote:

Plus Points The Battery doesn't add to much weight NFC and Wireless charging are included Well known Manufacture Double the battery life of stock Built in kick stand and same material/look as stock cover Negative Points With the size of cover a bigger battery could be used (but not sure necessarily needed) All though the cover looks great it offers no protection so maybe the option of a tpu case as well would be nice
