As we all know battery life is an ongoing issue when it comes to Android phones.  Most of us happen to be thrilled when we make it through a complete day and have something left over.  There are the exceptions – Optimus S, Nexus S and MyTouch 4G running on cyanogenmod 7 (alpha);  all seem to have superior battery life.  The (current) Optimus line exceeds with its 1500 mAh battery, 3.2″ screen, and 600MHz processor.  The phones above running with Gingerbread seem to be getting better battery life than before, hopefully this is due to optimized code in GB.  I don’t know enough about what is going on in the system to identify what changes have been made.

There are a number of phones that have been announced, all of which are running Android 2.2 (or higher)

It should be interesting to see which phones have the best battery life.  I am concerned about LTE phones having only 1400 mAh batteries and 4.3″ screens especially knowing the battery life of my Evo 4G with WiMax on.

How do you think they will do?  Let us know

My fiancée and I welcomed our first (and only child into this world in Feb - 2 months early).
