In Captivate forum, I tested bunch of standard size Galaxy S batteries. Should be useful for you guys as well:

I've attached a capture which shows wich is the portion of android share that the i9003 has.
I believed that it was smaller, pretty much smaller.
The info in the url below is interesting (yeah, i know it's useless to us), and it shows the level of android fragmentation in brands, models, versions and screen sizes.

And when I thought, even after using it for almost 2 years, I should've gone for i9000 instead of i9003. You posted this. The stats are quite good comparing to some other models.
Informative post...thanks
i am satisfied with my phone....:laugh:

Hi everyone,
After my Samsung S2 suffered water damage, I now need to buy a new smartphone, and I had almost decided for the S3, which now costs only GBP40 less than the S2. Until I stumbled upon this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/S7189-MTK6589-Android-Smartphone-UNLOCKED/dp/B00BG8F9G0
I have no problem with the idea of owning an "unbranded" phone, but I'm just worried that it might later turn out to be of substantially lower quality than the original. A colleague of mine owns a previous model of this Star phone (N7100), and he's been happy with it for the past year or so. After playing around with his phone a bit, it seemed fine to me, however I didn't get to test it in more detail (e.g. compare image quality of camera output with that from the S2, or see how stable the GPS fix is).
I'd have really liked to read a proper review for it (with benchmarks etc), or at least see a believable amount of user ratings. The Amazon product page has some good user reviews, but only 22 of them, and you can't really find much information about this model (or about the Star make in general) on the Internet.
What do you guys think? Is there reason to believe this phone would perform (visibly/audibly) worse than its closest Samsung equivalent, or that its life expectency would be shorter? Many thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it!

Please use one of ^^^^^these^^^^^^ threads. Otherwise the General forum would be full of these kinds of threads. One important difference that is independent of build quality is that branded phones have better OEM support and there is likely to be a lot more development on a branded device.
Thread closed.
Hi guys,
Just had a quick question for you guys. Are there any extremely technical mobile blogs? I'm an electrical engineer and I have an (extremely) unhealthy obsession with phones. I literally have had every android phone (save for the extremely low end ones... and even then I've had some). I realized that my hobby could be better utilized by combining it with my fancy university degree.
I'm not talking about Engadget or Gizmodo, or any of the other mainstream tech sites. While they're great, I was thinking of writing up reviews of the more technical details, such as testing battery drain with different kernels or google edition vs stock edition, temperature profiles of the device, and whatever else I feel that typical reviews are missing. I don't imagine it being a big hit, but considering I have all these phones rooted and running a variety of ROMs and kernels, I could at least provide test results for the curious members of XDA as to what ROM/kernel combination gives best battery results.
If there's already blogs out there that go as in depth as I want to go, then there's no point really. If there isn't, would you guys be interested in this?

That wouldn't be a bad idea. But keep it simple, clean, regularly updated and original
But don't consider my blog as model . I hardly get time to look at it and as a result it's not good. Anyways all the best.
Hey guys, I'm not sure if you've ever seen my work over on the Epic4G forums or not. But whether you have or not is irrelevant.
I come to you guys (and gals) to see if you are interested in me reviewing any of your batteries (preferably new ones, as old ones obviously have cell deterioration), I don't personally own an S4 but I do have a multi charger (or could buy one) that I think will fit the batteries in (or if I not I can use my dad's S4 to charge whatever I'm looking at).
I figured I'd offer up my services on a phone that's a little more relevant (and also because XDA still won't add a Stratosphere II forum ).
Thank you for reading!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to accurately test case extended batts unless there's an easy way to reach the contacts too
Any 2015 tablets with user replaceable batteries? I mean as in simple swap in/out as with my galaxy s4. I imagine some of the phone/tablet hybrids have them, but I am more interested in a full size tablet, at least 7 inches. I googled it and couldn't find anything recent, so would appreciate any help, thanks.
