When I got my first smartphone, I literally felt shocked at how frequently I had to plug it to the charger, shocked by what I had come to believe was the result of an abnormally poor battery standby capacity. I could not understand why was it that... if my old phone of the same brand could easily last a whole week without having to be recharged, why would it be that this one, a newer one, ten times more sophisticated in every aspect, had to be plugged to the wall at least once a day or more - wrong it felt, and it felt like I had hit a defect - and I could already see myself screaming at some maintenance staff on that I had just bought that phone and that there was something wrong with its battery that needed to be replaced and so on.... STOP.
