How strong is N82’s battery?
Posted by Norman John in N82, Nokia, Review, Symbian
I’ve receive plenty of emails of my readers, who asked me how strong N82’s 1050 mAh battery is. That’s a good question because battery life is really important for a lot of users. Therefore I’ve made a batterylog showing all operation( like music), time and the battery level. To check how strong the battery is, I installed nSys on my N82 which shows how much power the N82’s battery got. Before I started this batterylog, I charged the N82 the whole night, choose GSM as my network mode and set light sensor to middle. Besides I deactivate bluetooth and WLAN scanning to save more power.21.11.2007

Hello,
very nice test! I think tha t baterry is very quality! What do you think?
Could you write your impressions about music quality on headphones (loudness and clearness of the sound)!
[...] Norrman over at the symbian blog has tested the battery on his new nokia n82. It seems that the battery holds better than my n95 classic. Read about this test here [...]
NOT GOOD AT ALLL….WHY NOKIA… WHY DESTROY SUCH A NICE PHONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU USE GSM, AND THE LIGHT SENSOR AT MEDIUM…NOT GOOD AT ALL
i should bought this phone, but now i dont do it
can i use N95 8GB battery (1200 mah) ???? does it fit ?????
Why is GSM and Light sensor at medium not good at all? In my opinion is this a good and also realistic setting.
I don’t know if you can use N95 8GB’s battery in the N82.
the badest thing of all. is that he switched OFF the phone the entiry night…i never do that with my k850
why Nokia, you bastards, you destroyed my christmas…he he he
no needed any test,need 1600mah battery-so dont be stingy nokia,give us powerfull battery whit next models or we will choose htc ore asus whit wm6

It is not known when phone will act in free sale??
That’s a good post. I’ve been very impressed with the battery on my N82, I think it lasts as well as my N73 does on similar usage, and the N73 has been the best to date of all NSeries phones.
not many phone calls. if there is a day during the week when you use the phone to make calls for at least an hour can you post your results us? in my experience with all of the n95 versions, the phone seems to drain the battery the quickest and i would be interested in seeing what kind of effect it has on battery life
yeah i agree with george. i regularly makes call what happens to the battery when makes a lot of call is is gonna last long or juz a typical nokai phone….
So is the battery of n82 bettermeaning will it last more than that of the n95 8gb?
You hardly use your phone to actually make a phone call
good test though
Hey,
which programm can i use for Symbian 3rd Edition to get RSS feeds over WLAN? Can you advice me an application, please ?
Greetz TaToosh
I don’t use any extra programm. I only use the internet application
ah okay, thx 4 answer. but i’m still searching for a good little client (best one -> freeware).
thx
can you compare the n82 battery life to the n95 8gb? i have the 8gb and am thinking about switching to the n82. i am happy with my current devices battery life, and only take a couple of pics per day, so the flash wont be drawing too much power.
still wonering about what kind of an effect an hour of calls makes (in gsm mode).
thanks
One day and a half… That’s too bad…
i think turning off your phone can lessen battery life.
Very nice test! But in above test the phone was closed on 21.11.2007 -> 9:31 to 11.18 am, 13:12 to 15:00, 16:38 to 19.32, total approximately 7 hours and on 22.11.2007 -> 9:50 to 15:00 approximately 5 hours, so we can see the phone closed total 12 hours {approximately}. My question is, does the phone runs that total 1.5 days if you keep the phone on that 12 hours?
A nice little test. From your usage the power seems to go down most when you use the WiFi on the internet. Other than that it appears to cope very well. I’ve ordered mine on O2 and it should be here in a few days
Time to detract and pamela anderson uncensored pictures those uncommon cells. She stared romantically at him and devoured an eyebrow.
Great post, after getting 10 hours on standby from my N82 (no calls, no wifi, no nothing except a single text message) I figure something’s wrong..
Not bad…use wi-fi,camera,GPRS,GPS,bluetooth,play video,play 3D & 2D games,play music in loudspeaker and headphones,made short calls…The worst is the phone has been switched off 5 times…Its ok for a multi-function phone,can K850i do that?
nice post budz i surely gonna buy it
Actually, since I updated my N95’s firmware from V11 to V20 the other week, it seems to have had better battery life. It hasn’t overheated or crashed once since then – something it used to do 2 or 3 times a week! However, the battery life is the worst I have EVER had for any mobile phone – and I’ve had a lot going right back to ancient analogue BT Cellnet ones!
Good Test.
coooolll…..gud 1 [:P]

Hi, may i know how to download the nSys which u’ve got to verify the battery of ur n82. my n82 seems to have short battery life..
this is the nokia marketing strategies..
they cannot put all in one phone..
who the hell want to buy other nokia phone
if this phone is so perfect..go buy the cheap nokia
phone for long battery life..once a day of charging
is not that bad..if more than that,something is
wrong with your phone..
ps:
this is the best phone i ever have
