Galaxy S3 battery

Galaxy S3 is a great device. But it is underwhelming when it comes to battery life. It's battery lasts for around 15-18 hours with full charge which is enough for the day. However for power users it lasts lesser than that.

The thing that disappoints me is the fact that it's battery takes more than 4 hours to charge fully. On an average it gets charged by 20% per hour which is very slow compared to the rate at which it discharges. This becomes frustrating when you have to charge it before going to bed and again before leaving for work.

Leaving the phone on power saving mode all the time is also not a very good thing to do as it is a beast when it comes to performance and beasts are not meant to be kept in shades. You've got to take them to full throttle and expect to achieve that extra mile. Anyways, I have seen a couple of suggestions for improving battery life. I'll try them and see if the beast takes me to that extra mile without asking to get plugged.
