Droid 3 vs Droid 1 or 2 battery life

cdl · October 27th, 2011, 01:47 AM

I know battery life depends on a trillion parameters, but do those of you who had the Droid 1 or Droid 2 notice any meaningful differences? Does the bigger screen (4'' vs 3.7'') consume much more battery? How much does yours tend to last?

On the Milestone 1 I would get about two days of battery life with these settings:
I get 2 days of battery life disabling backgr data (but with push email on)

Thanks

The battery life on the Droid 3 is waaay better than the OG droid...especially after the last update. With similar settings I can go a full day of pretty heavy use on my 3, where my D1 would have been long dead.

any new moto based phone will have great battery life, the d1 was just a learning curve for moto, and a good one at that, the d2 was an utter failure

the d3 so far is well on its way to becoming the best moto produced phone as of late. (better than the bionic IMO) and it should see ICS... hopefully anyway
