Battery performance

Battery performance may vary depending on network conditions and configuration, and phone usage.

Networks	Talk time (up to)	Standby time (up to)
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900	4 hours 30 min	340 hours
UMTS/HSPA 900/2100	4 hours 30 min	340 hours
UMTS HSPA 800/1900/2100	4 hours 30 min	340 hours
Note that UMTS/HSPA network compatibility varies per location. A Standby time specification is an industry standard. The only intention is to allow comparison of different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Factors including - but not limited to - network, settings, location, movement, signal strength and cell traffic strongly effect standby power consumption. Standby time specifications of different mobile phones can therefore be compared only in a controlled laboratory environment. When any mobile phone is used in real life - i.e., under circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended - the actual standby time could be considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors mentioned above.

Music listening time: 25 hours
