Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G battery test is over, here are the results

The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G for T-Mobile has a rather impressive spec sheet, which means that its battery will have a lot of features to power. And while its 1750 mAh capacity is a noticeable improvement over the 1500 mAh found in the original I9000, it now has an extra CPU core, faster 3G network, as well as NFC to deal with.

As always we will kick things off with a closer look at the telephony endurance of the smartphone. Here, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G managed the hardly impressive 7 hours and 14 minutes – a result, which, while not necessarily bad, cannot be qualified as anything but average.
